Are you ready to walk to my friend Lori's house?
I hope so, because, you are in for a real treat! Her home is one of my ALL time favorites and she is so excited to have YOU as her guests.
Our Lori is amazingly talented in SO many ways. She inspires me ALL of the time! She is also an incredible mosaic artist! We will have to make sure to come back another day to view Lori's gardens and enchanting mosaic wall!
Lori is a daughter, wife, mother, and grandmother, and along with her full-time career as a sales director, she is also the creator of this fabulous event, that I had the honor of speaking at this year. AND she is busy working on her next event - The Fancy Flea - a vintage home and garden market to be held locally on November 14th. I will share more about that later!
Lori has decorated her entire 1920's bungalow with her thrifty finds and has transformed numerous drab and dingy vanity tables, dressers, and sideboards into gorgeous pieces with her artist's eye and paint brush.
Lori is also a fantastic cook who loves to entertain and I've never stepped on to her porch without being greeted by the heavenly aroma of fresh coffee brewing and something yummy baking in the oven. Her creative spirit FILLS her home from room to room and her beautiful bungalow is always a delight for all of the senses!
So let's go inside my lovely friend's home and spend some time in the beautiful haven that she has created from her HEART.
(if you click on any of my photos, a larger view will open up in a new window)
The welcoming living room ...
Little Moby kitty ...
The dining area ...
The green hallway ...
Lori's sweet hubby Dave's den ...
The gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous bathroom ...
The romantic bedroom ...
The colorful and charming kitchen - Lori created the tile counters and back splash ...
She made banana pudding for us!! Thank you Lori!
And the delightful garden room ...
My sweet assistant for the day ~ Little Dog!
Wasn't that so much fun??? Thank you dear Lori for opening up your home to all of us - you are a sweetheart and I can't wait to come back and photograph your gardens.
I'll be back soon - in the meantime, please help yourself to Lori's banana pudding! ;-)
Next stop ~ Erin's!!

Kim

Oh Kim - yet another amazingly beautiful house!! I love so many things about it - but the kitchen ceiling might be the single bert part!
Thank you and Lori for sharing it with us.

Oh - my goodness gracious - another beautiful home tour. Lori's home is adorable and I love everything - especially her garden room with all of her wonderful garden treasurers. Daisy Cottage is certainly in good company with all of the wonderful cottage homes you have shown us.
Thank you Lori and everyone for opening your homes to us and thank you dear Kim for sharing and for your lovely photograhs.
Happy Labor Day to you and your family.
Bentley sends a big kiss to Miss Maggie.

OMG - again! I would never leave the front porch or the garden room or the kitchen! I usually don't like wallpaper but the red toile is to die for! Where in the world did she find all those GORGEOUS chandliers? She has done an amazing job of displaying all of her beautiful collections and treasures. I love all of her suitcases. That's my next collection! What an absolutely beautiful home. It really feels like a loved home.
btw - because I value your decorating and thrifting eye . . .perhaps you could take a look at my home on RMS (countryrosegal) and give me your thoughts. It is no where near as decorated (YET :) as yours and your friends but I have been collecting all my thrifting treasures and just need to find them the right place in my home.
Thanks for all the tours - I'm speechless really at how beautiful they all are.

Lori's house is one glammed up cottage! All of the attention to detail and use of color is wonderful. My favorite has to be the garden room.
Posted by: Tanya | September 06, 2009 at 05:32 PM
You are SO welcome Sarah and thank you! I will try to find you on RMS, but I get lost over there! ;-) You can always email me a photo and I can "play" that way.

Just breath-taking... truly.
Thanks Kim & Lori!

Hi Lim
Make sure you thank Lori so muchfor letting us all peek inside her home. It is so charming! I see why it's a favorite of yours because you like the same colors. It looks like Lori has the same red yellow and green that Daisy Cottage has. I love all the French provincial style furniture she has and the colors she chose to paint it.
Thank Lori fo rthe banana pudding too!
Hope you'r ehaving an enjoyable labor day weekend.

I got excited just looking at the front door area! All my favorite colors are there! Then the cheery yellow walls and the red toile bathroom....oh my! You know I LovE that room! I love how she uses color on her walls...I'm thinking I might paint my hallway green now like my kitchen! Her whole house is just gorgeous! Little Dog and the kitty are so adorable too! Thank you Lori! I really enjoyed the tour of your house and can't wait to see your gardens!Thanks Kim - I'm so enjoying these tours!

I'm going back to spend more time in the garden room...and the kitchen! I would love to have some 'nana pudding but I'm not sure I will be able to sit still long enough! The most interesting things after my first time through...is her use of books. I want to stack books high on the coffee like she does and I would love to make a wall of framed art and photos. The touches of red and the fabrics she has on pieces of furniture is perfect! Thanks so much for giving us a tour, Kim and I appreciate seeing photos of her beautiful home!
Posted by: Lavender Dreams | September 06, 2009 at 08:37 PM
Kim,
What another wonderful tour of one of your freind's homes...Lori's home is so pretty!! Hard to pick what I like best. Loved the front door area, the living room, the dining room...and oh my, the kitchen and the garden room!! Guess you could say that I just loved it all!! Thanks to Lori and you for sharing it with all of us.

At first photo I was hooked! I love this home!! I too love roosters and chickens in my home decor so this place just feels like home to me. The reds, yellows and greens in her decorating style are very welcoming and warm!

Hello Sweet Kim~
Oh, another wonderful tour! Beautiful!!
Driving through the area you just want to knock on some doors and say hi!...what's your house like inside?! LOL
And now you are letting us see some of your fabulous neighbor's homes via your skilled photography.
Thank you Lori for sharing your lovely and artful home with us.

Hello everyone! Thank you for your warm comments about my home. Kim and I are indeed kindred spirits with our love of color!! Isn't she the most fabulous photographer? It is truly a gift to be that talented. I'm honored that she chose my home to put on her blog.
Posted by: Lori Powell | September 06, 2009 at 11:20 PM
~WOW! Kim another stunning home in every single detail. I adore it!
I just added red shaded buffet lamps to my kitchen dinette area. They feel so cozy.

Posted by: Melissa Miller | September 06, 2009 at 11:44 PM
Makes me want to start all over with my home!!! No words to say how wonderful Lori's home really is!!! It just took my breath away.
I think the thing that impresses me the most is that the painted furniture is not all the same colors. I have seen this in all of your tours and I think it is wonderful! So many are painting everything white or black, yes it is pretty but the colored pieces are just fabulous!
Thanks for the tours!! Mary Ann
Posted by: Mary Ann | September 06, 2009 at 11:46 PM
i am loving the inside tour of these homes... feel like i need to send a baked good to the gal's - Thanks for hosting! You can come see me in Texas anytime!

I wonder if sales on red and that pretty gold paint will jump this weekend. I am dying to go get some red paint and paint something! I thought I was going to paint my china cabinet powder blue but now I need red paint!
Posted by: Betty @ She's Sew Pretty | September 07, 2009 at 01:47 AM
so pretty and cozy! love it!
i have a question.. how often do you (lori) dust? you have "a lot" of beautiful things but you must be dusting around the clock! would love to know if you have any secrets.. i hate dusting and feel like its a never ending job!
love these tours!!! so fun to go through others homes!

Kim, Lori's home is so totally gorgeous. It would be such grand fun to have you stop by and take pictures. I can only imagine the fun the two of you had arranging and chatting as you worked.
You are a darling and I hope your Labor Day is filled with wonderful end of summer fun.

Dust? If I could figure out how to do it, I could weave a quilt out of the dust in my home. I followed Kim around saying, oh no...don't shoot this, don't shoot that! She promised me it wouldn't show up in the pictures...and it didn't, thank goodness!!
Posted by: Lori Powell | September 07, 2009 at 11:08 AM

OMG! All of the homes you have visited are amazing. I will be back to look, look and look again. I think you are so lucky to have all of these talented and creative gals as your friends and neighbors.....I just wonder where everyone gets the time and energy "to do it all"?
Your photography is beautiful, Kim. Thanks for another beautiful tour. Love, Debbi
Posted by: Debbi | September 07, 2009 at 11:46 AM
What a wonderful home! I love how she has incorporated so much storage in her decor! makes me want to get out all of my little treasures and put them all over my home!
Thank you for the home tours! You are so blessed to have such wonderful friends living nearby!

Love her home , thanks for sharing! There's another home with yellow walls! I just have to try it. My mother always had a painting in her living room above the couch of a lady in a red dress playing the piano - just like the one in Lori's living room! I couldn't believe my eyes. What memories it brought back. Thanks again for sharing.

Pamela in NE OH
Posted by: Pamela | September 07, 2009 at 06:33 PM
So many beautiful vignettes she has created..really makes interesting touring..this is what I love. The home tour in my town this year says that they are only selecting bungalows focusing less on interior design and more on historical significance. :-( Doesn't interior design enhance the architecture? How much historical significance can a 19th century bungalow and a more modern 1951 design have? I think they meant architectural significance. Too bad..we know every one goes to see the decorating! It's fun and inspiring...Thank you for sharing these charmingly decorated homes with us!
Posted by: Kim | September 07, 2009 at 07:20 PM
Oh my, Kim, you have certainly outdone yourself this time. This cottage is the perfect companion to Daisy Cottage. You know how you can sometimes tell that people are related? Well, this must be Daisy Cottage's sister. Sooooo beautiful, there are no words to describe it. I have taken the "tour" MANY times today, and each time I see something new. Every little detail is perfect. You and Lori should DEFINITELY do a decorating book, with your great design sense and photography. Wonder-filled!!!!
Posted by: ksarrasarra | September 07, 2009 at 08:11 PM
Lisa's home is 2die4 gorgeous! It looks like such a happy home with all the beautiful colors! I love all the details in each room.

Little Moby kitten was so itty bitty and cute, and Little Dog, well, just adorable.
Thank you both very much for sharing this lovely home with us.
Posted by: Michele | September 08, 2009 at 09:24 AM
Wonderful, warm, and welcoming home, Kim. You certainly have a marvelous talent to capture it all so beautifully. I stopped up short in your friend's kitchen. The windows and window treatments over and beside her sink are amazing.
Posted by: Vee | September 08, 2009 at 10:01 AM
What a beautiful home! Decorating must be an innate talent! Nobody can learn decorate as beautiful as that...it's just something you do! Thank you Lori for sharing your home with us. I am going to "steal" a few ideas. I hope you don't mind. I love how you placed those two chairs behind the sofa. How clever! I never thought of doing that. I also love how you mixed picture frames with little mirrors. And I especially love how you decorated with all the little suite cases. I see cute suite cases all the time at my thriftshop but I never buy them because I wouldn't know what to do with them. Thanks for the great ideas. Your mosaic top was absolutely gorgeous...okay I'm going to stop now. I can go on and on and on!
Posted by: jessica | September 08, 2009 at 11:43 AM
Jessica,
Thanks to you and eveyone else for the warm comments about my home. I truly love this little place (1700 SF) and I like to look at all my "stuff" all the time! Yes, it is a lot to dust, but that comes with having so many "treasures." Nearly everything in my home has been found at a yard sale or thrift store. I have a wonderful guy who does my reupholstery and I paint everything I can get my hands on. Kim, thank you again for capturing my home in such a delightful way.
Posted by: Lori Powell | September 08, 2009 at 12:50 PM
OMG!!! Do they need an adopted granny? Those are my colors but I don't have near the cool accessories! Love it because it looks like someone actually lives there and loves it.
Posted by: Teri | September 08, 2009 at 12:57 PM
Such a beautiful home....I need to know two things what the name is of the green, yellow and red paint and where did she find that beautiful dinning room tablecloth. OMG, there is so much to comment on but I have to admit one of my favorites was the yellow china cabinet and the Grace Kellyish painting above it. Another beautiful home and thank your friend, Lori!

Oh! I think this one is my favorite, only because I'm partial to lots of STUFF! ;-) She has it displayed so creatively! It just makes you want to walk thru and pause everywhere you turn to take in all the goodness of the vignettes! Great job!
Keep 'em coming! Can't wait to see her garden!!

Posted by: Diana Thompson | September 08, 2009 at 04:39 PM
Oh my goodness what a magnificent tour!! Each tour has been fabulous, each home unique in style and personal taste. Lori, thank you so much for letting us explore and dream through artistic and creative style.
So much eye-candy I can hardly scan fast enough. All the chests in various hues are stunning, especially the white one with red toile inserts. The rooster pillow, rooster figures and dinnerware are divine. I love the fancy sugar & creamer, the lady's bust in the bedroom is darling as well as the lovely bed cover & shams. And, Chanel No. 5 is my favorite. You decorated the bathroom in elegance it's unbelievably amazing to look at. I love, love the kitchen with that striking wallpaper and unique mosaic countertop.
The garden room is cozy and outdoorsy and oh there's more yet to come with the gardens and mosaic wall.
Lori, how blessed you are to live in such a beautiful home you created. Little Dog is precious too.
Kim, you did it again... fabulous photos!!

Christine,
With regards to the paint, True Red by Valspar and I'll have to find the can of yellow paint (it's in the garage somewhere), but the green was trial & error...I mixed a bunch of paints together to finally get this color! Thank you everyone for your comments...they mean so much to all of us!

Sounds redundant but....A beautiful home & beautiful photograpy.
Since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery my cottage is not getting a mudroom but a garden room. ;) I think I would spend the most time there at your home. Books are my best friends & I loved the way they are everwhere. I felt "welcome" eminating from every photo. Thank you, Kim & Lori, so very much for sharing.

Dearest Lori,
I simply can got stop thinking of your beautiful house. All the details keep running in my head. I have a very old house in Indiana which is up for sale. I want to paint my ceiling in the kitchen green and the counters in black/white. I want red toile wallpaper. LOL
Kim's house always spoke to my soul and so does yours. Must be those wonderful warm colors and those beautiful 1920's cottages. Thanks again for sharing with all of us.
Hugs,
Connie
Ps: I love banana pudding. LOL

Lori and Dave, your home is wonderful, charming, and SO delightfully decorated. Love your bold use of color, the striking kitchen, and the green wall with the art!
My mother's favorite color was red and she would have loved your home, too.
Applause!!

I just found this site 2 days ago. I CAN NOT pull myself away! Lori's home is so wonderful! I feel like I am right at home. Please Kim show us more!

I think I have looked at your house at least a dozen times and everytime I see something I hadn't seen before. I think my favorite piece is the yellow piece with the table cloth over it. Love the yellow color. I have tried several yellows but they seem to be not exactly what I am looking for. You have the "touch". Thanks for sharing your home with us. All the homes Kim has shown us are absolutely beautiful and I really appreciate them being shared with us.

I would love to get the name of the person who does your upholstery projects. I had a woman do some things for me, however, she retired a while back. I just bought a great chair at Good Will and would love to get it recovered in a red fabric. Again, your house is beautiful. Hopefully I will get to meet you and Lori at the Fancy Flea this year!!
