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

Honey, I'm Home

4358537211_49140920dd_o



I'm home.

I missed you.

And I thank you.

And I really really don't deserve you.



But thank you so much for all of your sweet and generous comments on the Giveaway post.  Right back at you too.  You mean the world to me.



And Sue.....  YOU WON THE GIVEAWAY!



Kim,
Your blog was one of the first I discovered and I have followed it from day one. You continually help warm my heart
in cold and snowy IOWA! I love your style and grace. Thanks for sharing yourself with so many like minded creative souls.
What an amazing give away!!!! Enjoy your heart day!! SUE

Thank you so much Sue! Please email me your mailing address when you get the chance.



I will catch up with your emails over the next few days. I promise.  And I hope you had the loveliest of Valentine's Days too.  I went to Savannah with my sis and a few friends over the weekend and guess what I saw????


;-)

 

It was beautiful.



I had a wonderful time BUT someone is very mad at me ...



Aa 



It seems that we forgot her birthday. 


Uh oh.



Signed,

Mean Doggie Mommy

Oh precious Maggie. I know she missed you! Speaking of a dog missing a human, I saw the best movie last night. It's called Hachiko http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1028532/. If you ever get a chance to see it, please do! Glad you had a good time though. It's great just to get away sometimes.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, sweet little MAGGIE!!!

Hi Kim

Glad you had a good time in Savannah. Happy Birthday Maggie. Should we tell Mommy that you told me she is forgiven?. Congratulations Sue on your priceless win. Enjoy for years to come.

Love your post about Maggie. My daughter Olivia and I wait everyday to see if there is a post about her. My daughter is a dog lover and espically loves dachshunds. She calls them pickles or homers. I am allergic to all dogs... so no dogs here. Only sweet dreams of dachshunds here. Thanks for sharing her with us!

Ouch, what a sad puppy. Bet if you give her a treat she'd forget you missed her birthday. Dogs are so forgiving. That's one of their sweet qualities.

Welcome home Kim. Miss Maggie, you get extra special treats for being good while mommy was out playing. Mom's need to get away not only from their kids at times, but from their fur babies too...I know I'll be leaving all my 7 fur babies when I come to Florida. I might get to meet you Miss Maggie and your pretty mama. I'm counting down the sleeps.
Please warm Fla. up for Julie and I. I'm tired of it being cold here in Canada. Tell your mom we were going to Savannah because of all the pretty pictures she posted a while back, but unfortunately it will be St. Patrick's Day... and you know what kind of partying goes on then don't you?? Crazy people drinking green beer. I also hear they turn the river green!! Can you imagine? Well needless to say we will be stopping in Atlanta, Ga. and visiting some very special blogging friends instead.
Have a great week precious Maggie.
Love Claudie

I love your blog and especially seeing pictures of Maggie. I posted some pictures of our Long-Haired Dachshund puppy (6 months old) in my last few "living room" posts. She was my model for my couch. :) We love our Millie SO MUCH. I will never get another breed of dog again. She's perfect. I'm going to post some close-up pictures of her later today and link up to your blog, since we share similar dogs (and design love).

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

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 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 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!
