Welcome to AMAZE ME MONDAY!

It's  F a l l  y'all!

So glad you are here for the party...

I  have some great fall inspiration for you and a charming home tour too!

In case you missed it here's what I shared last week...

It's the Weekend...

Sunday, September 28, 2014



It's Saturday morning

and so far we've had a slow morning of breakfast and coffee on the porch

while the guys are installing insulation in the kitchen/keeping room.


I finally feel we are on our way

because the next step after the insulation inspection will be the

drywall installation and I can't tell you how excited that makes me!


With the hardwood floor installation close behind there is more clearing out to do

so things are being packed away...


The Truth is Ugly!

Friday, September 26, 2014


Who doesn't like their home to be pretty,

and clean,

and dust free,

and decorated for the season,

and smelling good?


Truth is...remodeling is just plain u g l y !



Here's the truth about this gut job and it's not pretty...


Truth is, 

when gutting your old kitchen and den for a new kitchen

it's thrilling to have a strange man on your roof peeking down at you through a hole...

Welcome to AMAZE ME MONDAY!

It is really here,
Tuesday is the first official day of fall!

Mr. Heart and I spent this last week at the beach with family...

It was the perfect ending to a wonderful summer!

Welcome to AMAZE ME MONDAY!

Is it still summer or is it fall?

The weather here changes so much from one day to the next it's hard to tell.
The leaves are changing and beginning to fall, but it is still very hot and humid.


Things are moving along with the kitchen

and last week I shared Kitchen Countertops ~ Our Choices... 


Kitchen Countertops ~ Our Choices

Thursday, September 11, 2014


Whether remodeling a kitchen or just giving one a face-lift

the countertops are an important element in achieving the look and feel of the space.

We have sure learned a bunch through our remodeling journey and as promised I'll keep sharing as we go along...

Welcome to Amaze Me Monday!

Hi Sweet Friends,
are you ready for fall?

We've had a pretty nice summer her in North Carolina but these past few weeks have been hot and humid!  Even so I'm not ready for summer to be over, and since we have a little longer before September 23 ~ the official first day of fall, I'm going to enjoy the last bit of summer!

This is what I shared last week in case you missed it...

                  Beauty in the Morning and Kitchen Updates & OUR Kitchen Design




So glad you are here for the party.  It's always such fun seeing what you share each week, ya'll are so creative!

Kitchen Updates & Our Kitchen Design

Sunday, September 7, 2014


I've learned a few things.

When remodeling there are times when things are moving forward,
times when things are at a stand still,
and when nearing the end everything comes at once!

My head is spinning there is so much going on,
time to share some updates with you and also our kitchen design!

First I want to show you this kitchen I recently found. . . isn't it charming!

Beadboard walls,
an old style stove,
buffalo check curtains,
roosters, silver, ironstone, blue and white plates hanging on the wall...so cute!

Beauty in the Morning

Thursday, September 4, 2014


This was one of those times when ordinary turned into very special.

Something you have to experience for yourself  . . .  Maybe?


The sun was just beginning to rise,

 a gentle breeze on my face,

little sprays of cool water here and there,

and an early morning watering turns to pure joy.



Beautiful blooms dappled by the early morning light...

Welcome to Amaze Me Monday!


Time is flying by, can you believe it's September

and the end of us ladies wearing white until next year!

Do you follow the fashion rule, no white after Labor Day?


We are seeing a bit of light at the end of the tunnel and this week I shared about the...
