Let Your Home Be Your Heart

  • What I hope for my readers and for all keepers of the nest, is that they embrace their homes with their heart and all of the passion that it holds. I want them to know that they can decorate on a limited budget by seeing things in new ways; by rescuing the broken and transforming the ugly. I hope that they flaunt their favorite color and decorate their life with it. I hope that their homes feel like one giant hug that welcomes them each and every time they walk through their front door. More than anything I want everyone to have their own home-sweet-home dream come true! xo, Kim

Betty's Bungalow

A

I went on a fabulous home tour yesterday with my sister and friends and we had the BEST time touring wonderful historic homes and meeting the nicest homeowners.  I will share more about those homes later on, but first I wanted to share with you the bungalow that we all fell in love with as soon as we saw it...

This bungalow belongs to Betty, who kindly allowed me to take some photos to share with you.  The colors she used to decorate her home inside and out are delicious and I think you will agree that Betty has created a delightful home that one would never want to leave.

So let's start our tour with her adorable front porch ...

Wasn't that a treat for our eyes?  I hope you enjoyed the tour of Betty's bungalow as much as we did.  Poor Betty .. she couldn't get rid of us as we didn't want to leave!  We invited her to come visit us one day and hopefully she will because we would love to have her and she is a real sweetheart.

Thank you Betty so much for your hospitality and for sharing your dreamy home with all of us.

Love,

Kim

An Apple a Day

C

What is that saying?

Oh right - "An apple a day keeps the doctor away"

Hmm.

Note to self:  Eat more fruit.  Drink more water.

And most importantly, always have a cute hankie available ...

Cozy Coverlet

B

Isn't this so sweet?  

I got this coverlet, matching shams, and the round white pillow from one of my favorite Etsy sellers.  Claudia's handmade creations are so endearing and every little stitch is exquisite.

C 

My dollhouse bedroom is very happy.  And so, apparently, is Maisy.

I hope she doesn't drink my coffee.  I need it as I have been blessed today with a scratchy sore throat.  Maybe I should take a nap in the dollhouse bed?  Move over Maisy, I'm climbing in....

Good Morning!

Good Morning!  :-)

What are you looking forward to today?

I'm looking forward to talking to this sweet girl on the phone and catching up with all things in her world.

A 

And then I'll be back to catch up with all of you.

Love,

Kim

  • "I visited my friends with their tasteful beige homes and sometimes questioned if there was anyone else in this world who loved the things I did. Then I found Daisy Cottage and a whole community of other women who shop the side of the road, paint their furniture fun colors, and aren't afraid to fill their homes with touches of whimsy and fun. What a relief! We aren't alone! I'm not alone. Thanks for all your inspiration and for confidently sharing your home and the idea that we can have fun with our decorating. I never get tired of visiting here Kim." ~ Kathy

Thank You Lenna!

  • "My eyes have been opened to a world I never knew existed. Such vibrant creativity, such caring community: it literally takes my breath away. After so much loneliness and isolation it is overwhelming to me that such a world even exists. In time I hope to be able to fill my garden of life with lovely, loving friends instead of the weeds of loneliness. Until that time lace tablecloths will come out of storage, music and lovely scents will fill the air of this home. And I shall visit the Daisy Cottage when I feel despair raise its dark, obscuring head, for I know from experience, that it is ever lurking behind that next bout of pain and weakness. Your kind and generous response has strengthened my resolve, you have helped me more than you will ever know, my new-found friend." ~ Lenna

  • "Here's how I can best describe into words how your blog made me feel. You know when you wake up in the morning and there's an early morning thunderstorm and every room in your house is as dark as night? Then, the rain and thunder stop and the sun comes shining through all the windows and you just know it's going to be a beautiful, sunshine day? Well, that's how finding Dear Daisy Cottage made me feel. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Kim. You blessed my day and may God do the same for you." ~ Lisa B.

  • "Thank you for your wonderful blog. I have been "lurking" but had to share with you how much you have helped me embrace the fun of decorating. I came to your blog looking for pictures to inspire me as I redecorate my house with cottage style. Today I was so tangled up in doing it "right" that it was really depressing me. I visited your blog again for some fresh ideas and came away realizing that there is no "right." Just me being me and enjoying my home! I am laying here in bed with tears in my eyes - tears of happiness that it is okay to be me and let that shine through in my house and what I wear and what I make with my hands. You are God's gift to me today and I thank Him and you." ~ Anne

Thank You ALL! You are the BEST!
