“The Chair”

~ Decorating

“Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭

Club…wing…slipper…bergere…chaise…parson…recliner…ladder-back…fauteuil…director’s…you guessed it!  Today, we are talking chairs!  No doubt, we are all familiar with these types and if I took a look around your homes, I bet I would see a representation of many of these!

I have had a love for chairs for as long as I can remember.  Obviously, they are utilitarian in nature, but the styles, shapes, and upholstery options are endless! Who does not enjoy sitting in their favorite chair to read, relax, or watch TV.  Grab a chair and let’s take a look!

Coffee Table Talk: Just Add Flowers!

~ Decorating

 “Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger”
‭‭James‬ ‭1:19‬ ‭

Don’t you just love when things fall into place?  No plans, no expectations, they just work!  This was the case with my little vignette on the coffee table.  Last Tuesday, the hydrangeas from my front yard made their debut on Tablescape Tuesday, and I just couldn’t get enough!  I kept admiring their beauty and I decided they needed to be on my coffee table for an impromptu vignette!  All I really had to do was just add flowers!  15 minutes, no purchases, and voila!  Isn’t that the best kind of decorating?!
Of course, I have to share with you, my readers!


With the hydrangeas in bloom, I knew they would be the showstopper for a late-spring coffee table vignette!

A Little Country, A Little Chic

~ Decorating

“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me'”
John 14:6

A few weeks ago, I was checking my email as I normally do, and I had one that was a little out of the ordinary.  As I opened and read it, I was so excited to read that Kirkland’s had stumbled upon my blog and asked me to partner with them in doing a post with a style board of their products!

Now, I know we all have our “go-to” places…you know, the stores that always have something that reaches out and grabs you.  And if you have a Kirkland’s near you, more than likely it falls into that category!  As an interior decorator (now retired), Kirkland’s has been a place I frequent when looking for fabulous pieces at a great price.  I always recommended Kirkland’s to my clients for their unique “looks for less”!  So I am excited to join with Kirkland’s today to bring you this post that is a little country and a little chic!

Several months ago, Betsy the Cow was spotted at our local Kirkland’s and it was the perfect piece to be the focal point for Katy’s guest room!  So, at my suggestion, she bought it and loaded Betsy to take her to her new home!  I am still in the process of completing the room and will be sharing it in the near future! But for now, a little peek…

Betsy became the inspiration for my “Country Chic” style board that I am so pleased to be sharing with you today!

The country farmhouse look has been in vogue for several years. It is a look that resonates with so many…probably because it seems to bring us back to a simpler life…and don’t we all long for simple?  Kirkland’s offers an amazing selection of  country style that is also chic!  Whatever your style, Kirkland’s has the look!
