A red wreath on the door...

I took my red wreath tied a ribbon around it and hung it from the door = instant warmth and happiness!

A touch of pink ...

I bumped into these pillows a few weeks ago and knew they had to come home with me! I love the butterflies on the print and the pop of pink ...

Fabric on the pillows: Waverly April in Paris Watermelon

This front room is happy, inviting and calm ... Yup, it's home sweet home!

cottage style

Fabrics have an amazing way of adding cheer and style to a room ... pictured above are a few fabrics that I like. They have a cottage, inviting, happy feel to them! :)

French country ...

I was able to walk through several houses as part of the Parade of Homes and fell in love with this home and the style/decor ... French country and so inviting.

Some snapshots.

I love the big window in the front room - lets in so much light! :)

Looking forward to finishing the trim, the baseboards and the entry way to the dining room.
The focus now is on the backyard!

C is for charming :) ...

Still trying to decide what color to paint that corner hutch in the dining room ... hmmmm!

An old chair that fits right in ...

An old chair ... love how this one turned out! :)

PS - Giving an old chair a new look is a hobby of mine - I love it. Maybe someday I'll open a 'Chairs by Wendy' shop ...

Fabric for the dining room chairs ...

Love the look and feel of this stuff :) - A touch of vintage, a touch of cottage = perfect.

Corner hutch in the dining room. It needs a color makeover - I'm thinking blue, maybe cream.

Future pillow for the couch.

Love that blue. I might use it on the corner hutch in the dining room.

Turning the old/new house into home!
