Why There Is No Place Like Home

902478362_fn3k3-O

Home always welcomes you

I love this welcoming entry way.

The farm blue bench and wicker baskets.

Fresh flowers and hats hanging on hooks

The painted wainscoting

Makes you feel like…

you are “home sweet home”

Home is a comfortable place

A frilly cotton tablecloth

{made less fussy out of cotton}

gives that round table the

prettiest skirt in town.

The fresh yellow flowers

and buttery walls create

the perfect home

for that robin’s egg blue door

and its matching screen door

This room makes me smile.

Such a few, simple elements

but so comforting and welcoming.

Like going to Grandma’s house.

Something about this room

really appeals to me

Love the hominess

of the plates on the wall

painted in my favorite color…

accented with all that crisp white

Love the slipcover chair

and dark wood floor.

The simply elegance of a

lantern chandelier.

It just needs…

a soft rug under your toes

beachy-bedrooms-mantel-headboard-l

A home needs

a great bedroom like this

It is so unforgettable…

I am still dreaming of it.

It is so European and simple

Love the positioning of the lights

over that antique fireplace headboard

The coral throw.

The unfinished wood door and mantel

So relaxing. A perfect spot to catch some

zzzz’s…..

And finally…

a home isn’t quite complete

without a puppy.

I miss our Lab so much…

I sometimes think about getting

another dog…

but when I travel

I realize I couldn’t do that

with a puppy at home.

or could I :)

Mom.. that made me cry! Will you get me a puppy for Christmas? Also that room with the warm, rich cream colors and robin's egg blue is the feeling I want to create for the wedding.
