i have been in full cleaning and organizing mode and it’s a wonderful feeling! to tell the truth, i’d lost my rhythm after david’s heart surgery and the piles of stuff i needed to deal with, were really getting me down. enough was finally enough! over the weekend i tackled some piles and cleaned and i’m on my way to making our home feel peaceful again.
above is our entryway. the black buffet was a craigslist find. all the other pieces are mostly treasures picked up from thrift stores. you can see the DIY hand-painted love sign here.
this is the other wall in our entryway. the arched mirror and bench were both hand-me-downs from my generous mom. the ruffle pillow is from tj maxx.
in front of the fireplace is my happy aqua chair. you can see the chair before and after pics here. it was a serious transformation! that adorable quilt? made by my sweet friend, camille roskelley. it’s a treasure and so special to me! more pics about the spring mantle here.
this is a collage made up of thrifted frames and paintings. my most recent addition is the orange poppy painting–a gift from my twin sister. i love it. seriously love it {and her}. i’m on the hunt for more paintings for this space.
here’s a close-up of a couple paintings and our pewter heart wall hanging.
on our kitchen table is a wire basket with found treasures from the ocean and a napkin holder.
it might be time to re-do this nook again, but i’m still loving it. you can watch a little video about the nook re-do here.
a little cleaning and organizing and i am really falling in love with our home again. some of the areas i wanted to avoid before feel peaceful now. what’s your favorite spot in your home?
Your style is incredible!!! Stopping by from LMM
Doesn’t it feel good to get home back to the way you like it. It seems to spin out of control so quickly and easily. Looks beautiful and I am sure you are enjoying your newfound peace and enjoyment. Now I’m off to do some tidying up myself.
Love your necklaces! I’m stopping by from LMM.

Hi Lisa,
Gosh…I just love your entry way ‘bureau’.
The idea of framed pieces within a larger frame is something I’ve never seen, but will be ‘stealing’ from you!
Your home is lovely and welcoming.
Thank you for sharing and encouraging me in the process!
Love,
Linda

I put in a Mother’s Day gift request to my husband to purchase something from your site. *here’s hoping!* :]
MY favorite spot is our living room! I am SO wishy washy when it comes to decorating. Right now we have a huge sofa… like a bed, and a huge chair w/ an ottoman. Black furniture. It’s nice, but looking around at other blogs I’m starting to think I want more white and pastel colors… uh oh! Thanks for sharing!
Love your Necklaces!! Stopped by from LMM

Love your work, and your style. I aspire to get control of my “stuff” as in clutter. If I had to pick a favorite piece, I guess it would be Wish.
that quilt is adorable!
You have such a natural, earth-embracing sense of style. I love it. My favorite space in my home is sitting at my desk in my office. It overlooks the backyard and I love to sit there and watch my boys play.
Stopping over today for the LMM giveaway!

LOVE your blog… stopping by from LMM
The money you spent on the chair was well spent – you have repurposed something and made it your own!
So you DO have a twin! I couldnt believe how similar you two girls looked in one of your posts last week but I didnt know you were twins for sure. Just thought you were sisters.:)
I LOVE your home. Thanks for sharing it with us.
XO,
Sarah
I wish you could come to COLD MI and decorate my house! It is a CLEAN slate!!! NOTHING hanging on the living room or diningroom walls! You are an inspiration for sure!
Stopping by from LMM…love your designs…the mason jars, hearts, little birds…OMW…they are too cute!!
You have such great style! Where did you find your napkin holder?
I can’t remember==some little shop in town! xo
A quilt just makes everything cozy, doesn’t it?
Ohhhh, it truly is a peaceful and serene home!! Thanks for taking us on a tour. The photos made me smile… and feel like I was getting closer to the beach and father away from Michigan where it SNOWED yesterday! Great post, beautiful home, and I’m believing for a quick recovery for your husband

Just stopping by from LMM to say that you do beautiful work!
I stopped by from LMM! Once my family completes our adoption, (I have three biological and am on the waiting list for Bulgaria) I am TOTALLY getting a new mommy necklace! Love your home decor, too!
I’m stopping by from LMM. I love that frame collage! How fun!
Your decor is wonderful! I esp. love the nook with the bird flying. Inspirational! I love birds.
I have been cleaning & organizing my house too. It’s small and there are 4 of us and I was so sick of the “hot-spots” and overabundance of junk.
It’s gradually getting much more serene around here. Ahhhhh….
I love all your decor, it is absolutely beautiful! Stopping by via BeDifferentActNormal!!!
Lisa, I love your style. We are alot alike! Why spend tons of money on new furniture when you can take an old piece and bring life back into it! When you tire of your aqua chair, I’ll take it off your hands. (big grin) I have a wall where I am incorporating aqua in picture frames and a pretty aqua rustic cross just to get some of that color in my bedroom. Thanks for the tour of your home and can’t wait to see more sometime. All the Best from Texas, Jan
Your home is charming! I love that aqua chair. Your pictures are inspiring!
