Sunday scroll stoppers

I love being inspired by photos on the internet.  I found these on Instagram and wanted to share them with you. This days theme is decorating with white flowers. 

1. @willandbea 

I love the white painted wood with the simplicity of the baskets and florals. This reminds me of slow living which is something I've been craving lately.

2.  @harnhamhouse 

The wallpaper and the headboard is absolutely beautiful.  The same muted tones make them match perfectly. 

3.  @oldwhyteinteriors

I have a love for ironstone and these tureen collection is absolutely beautiful how they displayed them. 

4.  @jasminabylund 

Peaches and sage muted tones.  Love these two colors paired together. Makes for a soft pallet and can we talk about that wicker sofa? 😍

5.  @lemondeagreable

Plaster and stone paired beautifully together. Reminds me of a very old cottage in Ireland. 

6. @burlaprosesrevivals

I love the patina in these cabinets.  I love how they mixed and matched the pieces.  It all ties together.  Loving the antiques that are perfectly in place. 

7.  @cowparsley_and_foxgloves

Thatched roof and a beautiful white flowered tree reminds me of a hobbit house. A beautiful space to sit and read a book and I just love the little basket hanging in the tree.

8.  @annakubel

The color swatches on the table, the wide open window and flowing curtains is so beautiful to me.

I don't know what it is about a small kitchen that I love but isn't this one darling? The shiplap wall, the large picture window and that farmhouse sink. So charming!

White flower heaven! The baskets and creamy whites.  Beautiful!

Autumn entryway. Ways to cozy up and make an inviting entryway.

Have you ever thought about encorporating cozy spaces into all areas of your home? I think one of the most important spaces is your entryway. This is where you welcome your guests and family. This is the first space they see and the first impression they get of your home other than the drive up curb appeal. The impression I want to leave is

1. Welcoming. 

2. Cozy.

3. Stress free. 

4. Fun. 

5. Real. 

1 thru 4 is self explanatory but 5, I will go into more detail here. 

When I say "real", I mean just that. I want my guests to know I live here so if it's there, use it. My antiques, my fine China, my painted coffee table, all of that is meant to be loved and used. So, kick your feet up on my table, and make yourself at home here! 

Also, we live in a smaller home. We budget, we thrift, we make a lot of our things. If we want something and its not in the budget, we look up how to make it ourselves. 

So many of my things we made or thrifted for a few dollars. Some things are hand me downs. Some things are curb side pick ups. 

Our entryway is very long and narrow. It has been my nemesis trying to decorate since we have been here. However, I am getting accustomed to this little entry and growing to love it. After all, it invites so many dear people into my home. 🤎
