Love Of Family & Home

Today I would love for you to meet Tonya and her mom from Love Of Family & Home.

Tonya and her mom share a passion for decorating and decided to start a blog together to showcase their talents.

I was drawn in by not only their wonderful talents, but their relationship reminds me so much of my moms and mine. :)

Aren't they gorgeous!

This is the image that had me at HELLO and lead me to them!

She made her coat closet into her home office!!

Genius and beautiful!!!

Click here to see how she made the transformation.

She also turned her kitchen from

this (which is beautiful)..

to this!

I love what paint can do and how much it can transform a room!

To see more details of her beautiful kitchen click here.

You know how much I love painted furniture!

She does that as well!

This buffet was picked up at a resale shop and given new life.

It currently resides in her beautiful kitchen area.

She has a such a wonderful eye for detail and finding the right things to dress up a space.

Her latest creation absolutely blew me away!!

It was this amazing little table that her and her dad put together for her son by using a baseball bat and old plant stand.

So creative!!!

I am also SO in love with these!

Her mom makes these adorable pillows for their Etsy shop!

I know, they are beautiful!!

Please check out the shop, she has so many more selections there that you will fall in love with!

And not only does she make pillows, she does furniture reupholstering!

From this

to this!

And how about these adorable little flowers used to decorate just about anything you can imagine!

I seriously could go on and on showing you all the beautiful and creative things that this mother/daughter duo does but I would love for you to stop by and take a look for yourself!

Tonya is the sweetest and her family is just beautiful! If you have not met them yet, go grab a cup of coffee or Chai and head on over!!!

Tonya also has another blog called The Diehl Family where she shares some more projects and all her adventures with her family.

Thank you so much ladies for letting me show you off today!

You have truly inspired me and I always enjoy my visits with you and I always feel so welcomed! :)

Restoration House Feature

Hello my little snow bunnies!!

How are you?

I hope this week is treating you all well and those in the areas that Jack Frost has blown his frosty kisses are staying warm!! We now have about 14" of snow and are supposed to get another storm this weekend!

Also, thank you so much for my little man's birthday wishes, he had a wonderful day and is busy playing with his gifts!

I would like to introduce to you Kimberley from Restoration House.

I found her one day partying in blogland and this picture immediately caught my eye

GORGEOUS!!!

I love everything about this room and it looks like a photo out of Pottery Barn!

She actually purchased the dining set on line for $50!

She sanded and refinished the top and gave the bottom some fresh white paint!

The table sits in her breakfast nook that she has so beautifully decorated for Christmas!

I am in love with the garland and all her details!

I would definitely love having breakfast every morning in this beautiful and cozy little nook!

Here is peak at her Christmas Mantel

Kimberley is so talented and I just adore her style!

Please stop by, you need to see the whole mantel, you will NOT be disappointed!

While you are there, take a look around,

her home is just gorgeous!

Driftwood! A girl after my own heart!!!

Thank you so much Kimberley for allowing me to show off your beautiful home!!

Weekend and A Feature

This weekend I did a little bit of everything..

We watched some volleyball!

My daughter is #2!

It is 7th grade, they are all so cute and little!

We roasted marshmallows!

This is how I love mine....put it in the fire and let burn until is it crispy!!!

mmmmmmmm!!!!

I wanted to show you how cozy my living room is at night with the fire going!

My friend dear Tracy, from Tracy's Trinkets and Treasures posted about enjoying what you have.

(click here to see her brief, but oh so true post)

So, I did just that!

Last night and again tonight.

I feel so relaxed and cozy in my little living room with the roaring fire.

(Linking to Bright, Bold and Beautiful to show my favorite cozy spot)

I also wanted to feature what my beautiful friend Deborah, from With all my Heart..Deborah, made last week with her hubby.

He found these shutters on the side of the road and picked them up for her (knowing how much she loves shutters)

SO sweet!

Together they turned someone else's trash into her treasure!!

Isn't is gorgeous!!!??

When I saw how these came together my jaw dropped! It looks like something out of Pottery Barn!!!

Take a minute and go say hi to her, she is so sweet and the title of her blog describes her perfectly! You also have to see her pieces that she filled up the shelf with, if you love the beach, these are a must see!!

She also inspired me to go get those closet bi-fold doors out of my shed and do something with them.

So, I did!

Come back and I will show you what I made!!
