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

A Garden Tub

Img_7910_medium

Happy Sunday! I hope yours has been a wonderful one!

My hubby and brother-in-law, Jim, were very good boys when they brought home two vintage bathtubs that they found for $25 each at a local horse farm. The tubs were being used as water troughs for the farm's horses.  My sister and I wanted them for our gardens and today we filled ours with dirt and flowers.....

Img_7915_medium

Do you remember this? I couldn't decide what color to paint it and it eventually made its' way to our garden. When we entertain I'll put candles in it and light them for fun ambiance. I love cottage gardening because it is lighthearted, playful AND very forgiving for gardeners like me who do NOT have a green thumb! ;-)

Aren't these hearts absolutely ADORABLE? Oh how I LOVE them ALL!

You girls are soooooooo talented - I will cherish each one of these works of art!

They are just wonderful - thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!   

Speaking of art - lucky, lucky me won this beautiful work of art from Donna, of The Decorated House. Donna is a special friend of mine so I am EXTRA lucky indeed...

Img_7888_medium

It is just perfect Donners - thank you so much!!  (((hugs)))

Now, some of you will remember when I shared this special heart from Debbie. Well, unfortunately, one day Miss Maggie was a tiny bit naughty and decided to "play" with my special "Debbie heart" and it became - let's say - a bit chewed up. When I decided that I was going to collect fabric hearts, I told Debbie about Maggie's mischevious act. So sweet, sweet, Debbie sent a big box to Daisy Cottage and you will KNOW how wonderful it was to open it when you see what she sent!  Not only did she send another special heart, Debbie sent these hearts that she made too....

Img_7873_medium

AND these ADORABLE hearts....

Img_7870_medium

AND this very special blankie just for the Daisy Cottage Diva herself....

Img_7898_medium

Aunt Debbie - Maggie loooooooooooooooooves it!!!  Oh it is SO cute!!!

Img_7901_medium

Thank you, my special heart friends.  Each of you are true sweethearts. Oh how I love you all.

A Thrifted Chandy

Img_7823_medium

Hi Sweetpeas!

I thought I'd share a chandelier and a few other thrifted goodies with you that have made their way to Daisy Cottage in the past few days.

I found this cute chandy at the local Habitat for Humanity thrift store....

Img_7832_medium

Poor hubby doesn't know it yet, but it will be going in our kitchen to replace a yucky ceiling fan.

I bought a cozy throw from a thrift shop around the corner and it will join the others in our "granny room". I love the colors that were chosen by its' original creator....

Img_7835_medium

And of course, this vintage suitcase had to come home with me too and it will be added to the growing collection in our "travel office"!  Isn't thrift shopping soooooo much fun?

Thank You Jane!

  • "I just discovered your blog and am blown away with the comfortable, almost nostalgic feel of it...almost like finding a long-lost friend after many years apart...somehow familiar, but all so exciting and new." ~ Jane

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!

  • "I would like to let you know what a joy it is to wake up each morning and read your delightful blog. I always feel as if you are speaking directly to me. 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

Thank You Francesca!

Thank You Kathy!

  • "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 Rue!

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 Rose!

  • "What I love best about Daisy Cottage is Kim. I love the way you appreciate every good thing in life and embrace joy in every moment." ~ Rose

Thank You Lisa!

  • "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 Pamela!

  • "I am so touched by your words and photographs. Whether in happy or sad times, you inspire my heart and soul. We all need each other's light and you offer us that dose of sunshine." ~ Pamela

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

Thank You Tracy!

  • "Your words and thoughts of encouragement help me see myself with value. You are a blessing. Thank you." ~ Tracy

Thank you Karen!

  • "Your humble spirit has not changed through your many posts here in Blogland. You have been blessed with a special gift and I am very thankful you share it with us." ~ Karen

Thank You Betty Jo!

  • "You truly inspire me to do whatever I can in my own little nest. I've always been an artistic dreamer, but you've enlarged my dreams with your way of seeing." ~ Betty Jo
