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

Grab Your Purse!

C

Grab your purse and come with me to Houzz.com.  Pretty please?

Because I am so honored to be featured over there today and I'd love it if you'd stop by too!  This site is FILLED with inspiration and great photos of all different kinds of decorating styles.  The Washington Post says "It's the Flickr of design idea sites."  Cool, right?  Almost as cool as my little vintage butterfly.  ;-)

Anywho - I hope you visit Houzz.com and guess what? I was able to pick out something for you! If you leave a comment at their site in the post where I am featured, you will have the chance to win this from Anthropologie!  Thank you Adi and Houzz.com!

Okay, now where are my keys???

Kim

*edited to add that you have until June 21st to leave a comment over at Houzz for the Anthropologie giveaway.  :-)

Hi, Kim! I enjoyed reading the interview at Houzz, and seeing all the pictures of your wonderful home. I wasn't familiar with Houzz, and bookmarked it to go back and browse. I have only been visiting Daisy Cottage for a bit, but I just love it, and am blessed every time I come. Thanks for all your work here.

Ok, Kim now you're making me feel really old when you refer to your little gold butterfly as "vintage". haha I have one that looks just like that that was on a necklace I received for high school graduation back in 1981. That was just a couple of years ago--right??? ha.

Love your blog and all of the "vintage" stuff. ~Teri

Went and read your interview before commenting here. What a great site! Congrats on your interview. You have a beautiful cottage with such charm, warmth, happiness, it just looks so welcoming.

Congrats kim on the great piece on Houzz. They did an amazing job of showcasing your home. I loved all the pictures. I'd love to see some more of your favorite room - your office. It is so inspiring and fun that it much do a great job in your creative spirit.
As always I love your house and your bravery to do what colors you love. I am a bit more timid there but you are helping me break free and realize that it is "my" home and it should reflect me and should make me happy.
thanks for the great blog-

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 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 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 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!
