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

I love the early evening sun.

And I love YOU.

Thank you SO much for your sweet comments over at Houzz. As always you are so kind, so generous, and my heart feels like it is going to overflow... thank you!

What can I say other than I am so thankful that YOU are part of our home. And you are.

Each and every one of you.

Love always,

Kim

Lovely sunshine streaming in, you captured it well. Always love coming here.

I love visiting your bright, cheery home :) And I didn't realize you live in FL until I read it on Houzz. I'm a tad N of Tampa, on the Gulf coast. Are we neighbors??

Posted by: Lisa K in FL | June 16, 2009 at 10:14 PM

I just finished catching up with your last two posts, Kim. They're so beautiful. You're an inspiration to me.

I love the evening sun too. Beautiful pictures.

I love your blog and visit everyday. I always feel welcome here. Mary Kate and I just finished her scarf for the fund raiser for the abandoned animals care of KatillacShack and Maggie's boyfriend Oliver.
I hope everyone makes a scarf for this great cause.

Thanks Kim! You have such a kind spirit and such a gift of hospitality! It is amazing how welcome you can make people feel...over the internet! Amazing! Your lovely home is an inspiration. I am a "pink and white kind of girl" but lately...for some strange reason.....little bits of yellow and red are appearing throughout my home! Blessings!

There's just something so moving in the sun light at that time of day. I love it too. Thanks for all the love and kindness you spread around the world in each of your beautiful posts.
Sweet Dreams, Colette

Kim I love your house! It's so bright and cheery like you! :) I just want to hang out at your blog all day LOL.

All the best,
Allison

Oh that early evening sunshine! Ain't it grand. Last night I went for a stroll in my neighborhood to refresh body and soul, and was reminded all over again of how restorative it is. There are many flowers and a sort of "country field" nearby, and it all looks like a pageant illuminated by the glow of that pre-dusk hour.

Spring in New England, when it's like this, is unlike anywhere else!

Hi Kim
I too love the way the sun shines into our house at various times during the day and lights up parts of the room or leaves a path across the floor.
I hope you have a wonderful day and the sun shines where you are today.

Hi, Kim!

You have such a lovely heart -- filled with love and gratitude. You are inspirational.

I agree with you - there is nothing like the evening sunshine as it closes the day. I am also wicked fond of the morning sun as it welcomes in a new day.

Hope the sun is shining on you!

Posted by: Jo | June 17, 2009 at 08:27 AM

The sunshine looks so wonderful filtering in at Daisy Cottage. You always find something new to show us and keep us inspired. I don't know how you do it!
Blessings,
Patty

Hi sweet Kim...I will have to go over and read your guest interview. ~xoxo~ Janet

Hi Kim,

I loved reading about you and Daisy Cottage in the Houzz interview - the photographs are fabulous - and of course - I adored getting to take a tour of your adorable home. Your sense of color and creativity using your fabulous flea market finds always inspires me and makes me smile every time I pop by for a visit.
Blessings,
Erin and Bentley

Your Beautiful Hearts For Jack

Thank You Dear Sis!

Thank you Fifi!

"It's people like yourself that make everything beautiful and worthwhile." ~ Fifi

Thank You Ida!

Kim I just wanted to thank you again for allowing us into your sweet home! I absolutely loved being there and looking around with you. Your hospitality and sweet spirit make the home even more beautiful! Thanks for reminding me that one day I too will have my "dream come true!" ~ Ida - MOPS Member

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!

"Oh my! I have just stepped into heaven. A nostalgic, magic, getaway place where folk love one another and life is sweet. Kim, you will probably never know just how many hearts you have touched with your site. " ~ 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!

"That hankie is like you and your blog Kim. In the middle of all of the other beautiful hankies, it's the one that stands out and makes you feel at home." ~ Rue

Thank You Jeanette!

"Sigh.... between your music, red and yellow mellow feeling and wonderful writing I just feel so calm. What would I do without you in the morning with my cup of coffee." ~ Jeanette

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 Joy!

"Your blog has helped me start to see the beauty in life again." ~ Joy

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
