I know how you feel about the outs of blogging! I'm overly critical of all parts of my home. On the other hand, it keeps me inspired to keep improving it. I try to do one small thing a week to keep myself motivated...it adds up, 52 things a year vs nothing! That's how I feel about working out, too! I can either be down about only working out 1x / week, or happy that I'm working out 52 x / year vs 0 last year! :) I digress.

My poor husband has to hear my seemingly endless list of projects for our home based on the inspiration of fellow bloggers (which now I want to make my own copycat Demijohn).

I love the addition of the numbers. I've never been a big fan of fake plants. They just get dusty and well, they look fake. lol! I think it looks much better without. I know that they were real popular at one time. I'm laughing because I know what you mean about always wanting to do things. My hubby says, "does it ever end?" lol! I've always been one to decorate for holidays and make home improvements, but seeing what others do makes you want to do more, more, more! My only advice would be to not worry about what is trendy, just do what you love.

I think we all compare our homes to others, whether it be on blogs, in magazines or our friends homes. If it inspires us to make positive changes that we enjoy it's great. It's when we start feeling bad about our home because someone else's is "better" that we run into problems. I admit I've done my fair share of this, and my home has a long way to go to get to where I want it to be, but the joy is in the process. You have a beautiful home that you can be very proud of!

I ...Hi, I'm ginny and I found your blog today. I love how you decorate with wooden boxes, baskets, and other earthy things! Where is your favorite no nonsense place to shop for your treasures? I know you mentioned TJMaxx.....<br />Also, yes, I agree on the hanging ivy....<br />Your home is lovely and I have been very inspired to make some changes in my home. I have no particular style, but I am a bit of a traditional person. I absolutely do not like the modern colors of oranges, bright greens, etc. I actually like warm colors as we live in Michigan and it is cold. Our summers are too short, so I tend not to go toward whites and pastel colors. Well, that said, I will continue to stop by and see what things you have been doing. I have a blog, but, I have not written since last April.
