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

Pasta by Daisy Light

Img_0096

Well of course this silly daisy lamp from Goodwill had to come home with me to Daisy Cottage! I just couldn't resist it. It does give off a pretty yellow glow in the kitchen. My hubby and son are away on a father and son fishing trip. My daughter and I thought about going out and grabbing a quick bite for dinner, but we decided on having pasta at home. I'm glad that we did.  It has been really nice, having this "girl" time ... funny how the house is so much calmer without the men. We enjoyed our dinner by Daisy Light.

Oh Kim, you find the best things. What incredible secondhand shops you have! And daisies... I think that lamp is perfect. Isn't that what a cottage is for? Decorating and adorning it? I'm glad you make the most of it. I hope you and your daughter enjoyed your pasta. Kim.

Love the lamp Kim! This lamp of yours gives me an idea for a lamp I just got in the mail today, I won it on ebay, it is the cutiest cottage white lamp, but it is without a shade...I think I can buy a plain white shade at Hobby Lobby, and "dress it up" with flowers! Ok, now I'm excited! Tomorrow, I'm off to Hobby Lobby! When I am finished with it my daughter and I will have a pasta dinner together by the light of my "flower lamp"....Thanks Kim, Tina

Hi Kim! I can not think of a better home for that sweet lamp! It was kismet! I cherish those alone moments with my child. Today my son went shopping with me...and we went to an old fashion icecream fountain and shared a ice cream vanilla soda....simple moments like that are the best! Love your rooster basking in the daisy light. cherry

Some of our best memories have been cozy'ing up at home rather than eating out. Your pasta looks wonderful - and I'm sure tasted *great*. Bless you.

Yes! My house is always quieter and calmer with the boys gone. Funny, even when they aren't making noise they are making energy. Love the lamp!

Absolutely delightful bit of wit and lighthearted joy, your daisy lamp for Daisy Cottage! How nice to enjoy a happy pasta dinner with your daughter. I love the alone time I get with my daughter when her husband's working late and I'm at her home visiting and enjoying my granddaughters. The best things in life, indeed.

Thank You Dena!

  • "Kim, I love your blog. I so appreciate you sharing every day. I miss you when you're gone. Losing my dear sweet baby boy in Iraq has made me treasure life and those so dear to me. Reading your blog is such therapy for me. You have made me treasure the finer things in life that I use to overlook. Birds singing, flowers blooming, my home and all of the treasures within it. I'm not sure that I ever looked at a teacup or saucer and saw such detail and beauty in it." ~ Dena

Thank You Grace!

Since I was diagnosed with an immune disease a year ago I wanted only to read positive and very inspiring blogs and your blog was the first I found. I think maybe the good Lord meant for me to find your blog and since then it has been nothing but smiles all around. I have tried very hard to stay positive about this disease and very up beat. I know that there is no cure and I have accepted this, but reading things with a positive message and filled with so much love helps. This is where you come in and I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart and to let you know how very much you and Miss Maggie are loved." ~ Grace

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

Thank You Anne!

  • "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
