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

Carol @ Old Glory Cottage

I always love it when you take us inside other peoples' homes! Mary and Gary's home is just gorgeous, and I especially love that kitchen, with the vintage stove. You can get so many decorating ideas from these tours, and I admire anyone who is brave enough to let strangers come through their home!
Happy Monday!
Carol

Kim Nichols

Kim, what a warm and inviting home. I love going on home tours. Especially older homes with so much history. They are so charming to me. Every December in a little town not far from me they put five homes on tour that are mostly older renovated homes much like the one you showed. Twelve homes is a big tour. How fun. I wish they would do on in the warmer weather here. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

Donna

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marcia

Their house is adorable, and I love the tile in the kitchen! The porches were really cute, makes me want to take a peak inside! I especially like the porch with the mirror and the topiary. Thanks for the pics, marcia

joy

Loved the tour! I always see things that I put on my "list" to search for...

Debby

Beautiful home. Lovely porches. Thanks for sharing.

Katie

Thanks for showing us such a lovely home, as well as the azaleas and other flowers! They're such a treat to see this morning as we're emerging from a spring snowstorm we had over the weekend. Nothing like a fresh 12" of snow to remind you of who's still boss around here!

Maggie

Love the tour of their home! That is exactly what I hope to do in our house. Love the look and feel of everything. It just looks like a comfortable place to live.

I hope that you got my email with my address. I sent it from my husband's account. If not, let me know and I can resend it. Thank you again for choosing me for your giveaway! I can't wait to get it!

Daisy Cottage

Good Morning Maggie!

No, I didn't get it - please send it again. :-)
I am going to try to get all caught up with emails today.

xo,
Me

Dena

She really is a talented artist, those swans are precious! Thank you for taking us with you, her home is lovely.

So lovely! What a treat to get a tour! I know you had a great time!!
Have a joyful week!

mary-The Calico Cottage

LOVE it all! Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos!

Judy

Thanks for sharing.....loved the house and especially loved to look at all the porches.....always wanted a house with a porch!!

Susan Freeman

A lovely house. I especially like the kitchen and am glad to see that it has not been "modernized" and is more age appropriate. The kitchen counter and sink are wonderful. From the appearance of the tiles, I suspect they are new, yet are a perfect copy. It must have been a wonderful tour. Your photos as always are spectacular!

Love,
Susan and Bentley
xxoo

Loree

What a warm and inviting home. Really lovely. I love the warmth of the wood colours.

Brenda Kula

Love the unusual picket fence toward the top. And all the porches, of course. I always wanted a nice table perched right underneath a window in a kitchen to sit down and stare out while I drank my morning coffee. Mary has that, and it's so cozy and appealing. Her whole home is, in fact. And you photographed it to perfection, Kim!
Brenda

Julie Harward

Great photo's! I like your home better though! I'll be gone for a few days (see post)...catch back up with you as soon as I can! :D

Kathy

What a cozy home....

Her art is awesome Kim !!!

All the best,
Kathy :)

Cindy S

What a gorgeous house, I love the old houses. The owners have done a wonderful furnishing and decorating it. Thank you for the chance to see it! Hugs, Cindy S.

Rhonda

Kim, thanks for sharing these beautiful photos! Loved the various porches, and loved the beautiful home. That's so gracious for folks to open their homes for others to enjoy. I'm sure that was a fun day for you!

I LOVED the screened-in porch on the home you showed. It reminded me somewhat of my grandparents' screened-in porch, though their's wasn't that big, or "furnished." I think it had a porch swing, and maybe some chairs, and that was it. LOL But that porch surely saw it's share of happy family get-togethers and visiting. :) It's interesting to see a porch treated as another room - very inspiring!

Our "porch" is a 3' X 5' cement slab, more of just a big "step" to the front door, and a small overhang above. Not much room for furnishing! And any sitting has to be done in the yard. LOL But I do have a rock collection arranged on it for interest, plus a wooden dog cutout that my cousin made for my dad once. :)

Thanks again for sharing the gorgeous pictures. Have a great week!

Fay Marie Torzsok

Love those porches Kim as well as Mary & Gary's home.

Thanks for doing all the hard work while all we do is sit back and enjoy. Each persons home is one of a kind and it is just a thrill to pick out little ideas for our own homes when you do these tours.

Thanks again, it is appreciated. I hope you have a good rest of the day.

Fay Marie

Julie

I always enjoy the house tours! I get so many idea's and always love each and every house.

Michele

Oh my word I love her house SO MUCH! WOW.

The original cupboards in 1920's kitchen are to do for.

TY for this eye candy, your photo taking talent is amazing.

Whew.

Marianne & Mindy

Kim

Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos of Mary & Gary's lovely home. The kitchen is to die for and the house is so warm and inviting. Sounds like just an all around great day. We should be having a home tour in the next couple of months and I can't wait. Love the porches.
have a great day

Jane Carter

Fantastic! A beautiful home....thank you for sharing the photos.

Dan

Kim~

Thank you for sharing the wonderful pictures of the beautiful home. I really enjoyed looking at them. It looks like the weather was wonderful! I hope you have a great day!

~Dan~

Krystal

That was fantastic! I loved the bead board and green and yellow in their kitchen. Believe it or not, that's exactly what I want to do in mine! Now, I have a picture to show my husband and say, "See, this is what I was talking about." Thanks for sharing with us, Kim! And a big THANK YOU to Mary and Gary for letting you share!

Vee

A lovely and warm home. I really enjoyed seeing Mary's artwork and have a special fondness for the swans. Thank you for sharing this home with us. It proves that each and every home is a unique represention of the souls who live there. Oh, I also loved the sign over the kitchen range.

pogonip @ meadowsweet cottage

Charming home from end to end! I appreciated the wonderful bookcases (and the pears).

Sandy

Thanks Kim for taking us on the tour of Mary and Gary's lovely home. From the screened in porch, to the entry, through the living room, to the bedrooms and then that fantastic kitchen with the vintage stove. I loved it all! Every Christmas hubby and I go to a neighboring community for a tour of historic homes in Chadds Ford, PA. That tour usually is composed of three to four homes plus some historic non-home buildings. I just love homes and I love seeing other folks homes. Nothing is nicer than a well kept home.

Looks like a beautiful home tour, it is so nice to see homes restored to their original beginnings. Florence

Jen

Simply love it! Thanks for sharing!

Pauline

Hello Kim.....I loved the photos' of Gary and Mary's home. I especially loved their corner china hutch.....love love that!! Thanks so much for sharing. All of your photo's always make me long for an older home in Florida with a white picket fence. Wish I could have been there to take the tour!

Renie Cee

Dear Kim,
I loved the tour of the Mary and Gary's home and enjoyed the pictures of the porch. I also want to compliment you on the articles in the newest Romantic Country magazine. I Heart that magazine! Yours and Madame FiFi's blogs are my favorites to read. Keep the home tours coming! Give Maggie a hug from me and my french poodle Beau:>)

Thanks for the pictures Kim...I really enjoyed them!

judy hale

Kim I loved the tour thank you so much for taking us along.I found you thru Dan and I have absolutely fallen in love with all the things you share with all of us. I knew I would because of the name Daisy was my mothers name and all the music you play she played on her first big wood stero I remember all the tunes like Last Date by Floyd Cramer one of her favorites.The houses that you have shown are really neat alot of the things I remember people having in their own homes when I was growing up I am 58.The weather looked great for the tour and the flowers were so beautiful can't wait to plant some flowers here in Illinois hopefully it won't be long.Have a great day Kim.

Emily

Love the Tour! You captured the warmth of the home so sweetly:)thank you for sharing.....

Cindy

Kim,
Home tours are so much fun!! Thanks for sharing Mary and Gary's home with us...it looks so warm, cozy, and inviting.
~Cindy~

Renee

Thank you for the wonderful tour of Mary's home. My grandmother's name was Mary and it it my first name:) So I immediately thought of my grandmother.

The porches are wonderful. Mary's house and art is so lovely. I collect bowls, too. My parents had a fan like that. (The one by the bowls). There are so many things to comment on, but just want to say thank you so much for sharing.

I'm jealous because the azeleas are blooming there already. I can't wait until mine start blooming.

Your blog and pictures are always so inspiring.

Now I've got to get busy with a few projects of my own.

Renee

I forgot to mention, my daughter lives in a historic district (St. Elmo) of Chattangooa in a home that has so much character. One of the front porches reminds me of hers. When I drive to her house I'm always so busy looking at all the beautiful old homes in her area.

Tracy Barkett

Thank you for sharing those beautiful pictures! The kitchen was my absolute favorite!

Gorgeous porches and gorgeous home. Thank you to you, Mary and Gary for sharing with us. I have a Mary and Gary living next door to me.

Scribbler

Thanks for the wonderful tour -- I almost felt as though I were there. I just adore the old Craftsman style -- does the whole neighborhood look that way? And when I got to the kitchen -- well, I had done those same tiles in my last house! I was so sad to leave them.

Thanks again for sharing.

Pamela Thompson

GORGEOUS~ I just like to come and look at your photos.. what an amazing place~

Diane

Thanks for the great tour, Kim. Very warm and comfortable home. For some reason I just love the shot of the stove, spices and sign. And I wondered if she painted the rooster. I really like that. I love your home tours. I always get inspired to do different things in my own home. Diane

Cindy

Thanks for the tour. Cozy was the first word that came to my mind. I love the home. I even saw a book on their shelf that sits on a shelf in my home.....Tales of Old Florida.......a great book! Great photos Kim! Thanks for sharing.

Mary and Gary's home tour, what a lovely place! A breath of sunshine and a mini vacation for the spirit. As always, thanks for sharing Kim!

Beverly

Lovely pictures of a lovely home.

I remember so well when mom and dad bought a stove exactly like Mary's. We kids were fascinated with the colored push-button lights for each unit. On Sundays, mom would use the timed baking oven to have dinner waiting for us after church, and quite often it was our favorite: Scalloped corn, scalloped potatoes and scalloped salmon. Yum!

Elizabeth Marchus

HI Kim,
How fun to take photo's of your dear friends home. It's as lovely as can be. I love the green tile on the fireplace and the rugs are fab. I'm a big fan of area rugs. The kitchen black and white tile is so charming, I really love it!
I always enjoy seeing how other gals decorate their homes. It's so much fun to share ideas with each other. Stop by if you have a chance, I am having my first 100th post give a way!..
Hugs, Elizabeth

This is just a wonderful home! Kim, you have a way of finding all of the beauty and capturing it for us. There were so many things to like about the decor and style of this house...but you knew that...and I thank you for taking me on this tour.
♥, Susan

Lauren

Oh man, I surely hope I get to live in a neighborhood one day. Or that I at least get to tour one! Those white linens make my little heart sing.

Nancy

Your many photos are beautiful Kim. You did a great job capturing the peace and grace of Mary and Gary's home. I found some tips for art placement. I will return to look again and again.
My heart is on it's way. Thanks again for organizing hearts for Jack!
Yours truly,

Patty O'Malley

What a beautiful neighborhood!

Barbara Anne

Lovely, lovely, lovely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for taking so many photos so we could enjoy the serenity and beauty of this wonderful older home. These are spaces meant for people to live in from the time it was built as is typical of Craftsman homes. The owners have furnished each room so graciously.

It's wonderful!!

oh how I love the kitchen!! Love it all! Thanks Kim for sharing.... hugs to you dear!!

sweet cottage dreams

Oh my goodness!

Where do I begin?

I so enjoyed touring Mary's beautiful Craftsman home. There is such a love the exudes in the warmth of the woods, cozy niches and personal touches. The paintings are amazing - LOVE the chicken! The bowls, the glider, Mary's paintings, the books, the stove and that little cottage pillow are my favs.

What a fun day and a delightful post!

I haven't read all the comments so I hope I'm not repeating what someone else said, but I think what struck me the most in their home is the beautiful rugs that bring each room together. Those rugs are stunning and the furnishings are unique and beautiful, but simple at the same time. Mary's paintings are wonderful too. I really enjoyed that tour!

Angela

I haven't been reading your blog for very long but already I find myself talking to myself when I'm at one of MY many Goodwill's. I'll find an item and think oh Kim would love this, especially when it's red. And today I found a fellow thrifter at my new Goodwill. She was very inspiring since she wears what she likes and doesn't care how many stares she'll get. And her taste is as eclectic as mine. Thank you so much for inspiring me, although I am living with a friend and can't decorate, I slowly collect items. Since coming back from Iraq back in 2008, my spouse and I are getting divorced and I want to make sure that my children and I have a home be it rented or otherwise that feels like our own. With nary a reminder of my previous life except for pics for the kids benefit.

Angela Harvey

You have made my days so much brighter-thank you!! I am a new business owner of a quaint little gift shop in Wyoming and the first year has been difficult & stressful. On days when I don't think I'll last a minute more, I visit your blog and it takes me away and helps me find peace in my day. March was a very, very slow month, taking my stress to unbearable levels and you saved me!! I know how very silly that sounds, but your photography and loving words help me appreciate the simple blessings in my life and to be thankful for little things. I have been able to step away from the bad and look more at the good in my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Susan Minor

Really pretty pictures. The first time I've seen your blog. Thank you.

Susie Q

This is beautiful Kim! Please thank Mary for alowing all of us to peek into her lovely and warm home! I adored every nook and cranny!!
Happy Easter to you dear heart...

Love always,

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

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.

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
