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

Wow...looks so lovely! Beth

I love the idea of "planting dishes"! Could you post a pic of your entire dish planting? It's something I'm considering but am not sure how Mr. BH will like it. Your cottage always looks so friendly and inviting. Just love visiting--thanks for having me.

Michele

Had a great day, too.............got house ready for a ladies spring brunch today (Sunday.)

I decided to go with color versus my normal pastel spring pallette. Kim, you are rubbing off on me, haha.

Looks great, starts in a while and thought there is nothing I would rather do to change my mood to joy than logging onto Daisey Cottage. Thanks Kim for all your happy inspirations.

Love your new pics - the dishes in the garden is such a unique idea!

natalie

I love your little dishes in the garden too. I like to collect them and hang them on the wall. Each one has a sweet personality all their own.

Take care ~Natalie

Julie

What a lovely and whimsical post. Just brings smiles to the face and heart. Love to come visit to see your wonderful photos...
Wish I could come and visit down there...
I love to play house too...
It is a "happy place" to go to when there is time just to putter and think only smiling thoughts and put your "vision" ideas into working vignettes and settings.
Makes that feathering the nest just delightful! HUGS for a great Sunday. Thanks for your blog to visit daily. It is a treat.

Adrienne

Love the dishes you planted! Will they grow? Oh, of course they will - they will multiply and each one will be as beautiful as the others. ~Adrienne~

Maggie

Everything looks so pretty. Love the dish idea! I wonder if my hubby would let me do that?!

Sheri@lavenderfields

So pretty! I love the roosters! I did a post not too long ago on roosters in my kitchen! A real passion of mine! LOL! You're so luck to be out in the garden in warm sunshine. Typical Vancouver style we had rain on Saturday! So I made a nice dinner! Just popping in with my cup of tea and then heading out to do a Walk for MS this morning in honour of a girlfriend. We have a little sun so hopefully it stays for a few hours: ) Beautiful pics! Have a great Sunday ! Sherri

Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions

We had a lovely Saturday here as well, Kim. I took advantage of doing some outdoor gardening since rain was in the forecast today {and they were actually right}. Today I'm hoping to get some sewing in.

Danielle

Hello Kim,
Your photos are always so beautiful. I have some planted dishes too! Hope your Sunday is a good day as well. ;)

Privet and Holly

My mom and I are having SUCH a LOVELY time on our trip....meeting beautiful people, tasting new and delicious foods, laughing and loitering....over flowers, houses, lattes and....WHATEVER we want to, which makes it the most special. The place we stayed last night is called Anchuca, a Choctaw word meaning HAPPY HOME. That SURE applies to Daisy Cottage! Enjoy the rest of the weekend! xx P&H

Karla Nathan

Its nice to see the chickens at home!

I've had plates in a row around a flower bed for a while, but now, my grand daughter has discovered them and wants to sneak them out to play tea party with!

dale

Are the dishes going to produce a crop of tea cups and saucers? LOL! ;)

I love Saturdays, I slept in very late, it was great and then spent the rest of the day making minis. :)

I love all of your red and yellows. So bright and cheery. :)

pogonip @ meadowsweet cottage

I thought you'd mistyped when I read planting dishes...silly me!

Lovely Saturday here with sunshine, a sparkling clean pond, a puppy to babysit, growing chicks and not much pollen. My kind of day :)

Laura @ PARING DOWN

I love your signs and plates...I'm still not feeling quite up to it yet but yesterday I had my hubbie moving things around in the house, how refreshing it is to do that, makes everything new again! Have a nice day and come say hi :D

Beautiful little vignettes. Sounds like you had a lovely Saturday. We have had rain the entire weekend, but I don't mind. It's a good time to cuddle up in the house, read and nap!!

Kim,

I love it when you play housekeeping:) You know these pictures are so lifelike that I feel like I am right there along with you. I enjoyed this sweet time at Dear Daisy Cottage.

Hugs and I hope you have a wonderful day!

How delightfully charming!!

I have two old iron roosters that my mother had hanging on her wall when I was little, her ceramic "Alex" and "Elizabeth" rooster and hen, and her set of Metlox Red Rooster dishes. She was before her time.

Playing house is fun!

Hugs!

LeAnn

Who needs to go window shopping, I just come over to your blog:)

Beautiful post. I love the "Planted" dishes! Now I'm going to have to plant a few of my own. Thanks for the lovely idea. It's raining here, so I've been playing house too.

Kimberly Padilla

You're house and garden look beautiful Kim. I love the tray in your kitchen. I can't wait to get back to my home in New York, get out of school for the summer and play! Have a splendid day!

Dan

Kim~

I am glad that you had such a wonderful Saturday. We participated in a 5k race to benefit a no kill animal shelter. The weather wasn't the best, but we still had a good time and what a wonderful cause.

I love all of your pictures! I hope you Sunday is going as well as your Saturday did!

~Dan~

Brenda Kula

You sure have the magic touch, Kim! Everything in your house is something to behold. And now everything in your garden as well. Are you having fun out there? I have that same gardening magazine that I keep thumbing through for inspiration.
Brenda

D'Ann

I love the little chicken sticks for decoration - you should make some cute cupcakes and use them!

I like puttering around the house. I'm finally making plans to make our house our own. We've lived there for a few years now - and we haven't done a thing to personalize it. SO...it's time. time indeed. Let the projects begin!

Vera

You had such a beautifully productive day. The first photo is really stunning. A very lovely still life. . . .

Barbara @ Southern Lady's Vintage

Everything looks so beautiful, fun, bright and cheerful!

Marfa (crafting marfa)

WELL, I will be a monkey's uncle! I never thought about planting dishes, but what an extraordinary idea! I love dishes. I love my garden. Therefore, I SHOULD have made that connection before. As usual, your house is fantabulous.

Donna Rae Barrow

Saturdays are meant for playing! I love the planted plates and all the color, color, color... it's always such a joy to visit Daisy Cottage!!!

flowerdisco

I have to agree with post above me:

"It's always such a joy to visit daisy cottage".

elyse

xo
elyse

ps
i am getting into red!

Terri Morse

I just love your hearts! I've never thought of planting dishes! The first time I read your post, I did a double take. I thought I'd read it wrong. They look really cute. I spent my weekend dyeing wool I got at the thrift store. I've got lots of wool applique projects planned! I'm glad you had a productive weekend! Hugs, Terri

Alison Gibbs

Nothing can be more fun than playing house... well maybe cruising blogland:-)
Alison

I just love all the loving touches everywhere.

Those rooster picks are fabulous! So cute, and so YOU!

Melinda

Yes, playing house is so much fun! Love your dishes planted in the garden. How cute!!! And your basket of hearts are so special too. Glad you had a wonderful Saturday. I was attending a Beth Moore conference in Atlanta with my 2 precious daughters, so it was a great day for me too. Love & blessings from NC!

Renee

How pretty. I love the glasses. Reminds me of the kind of glasses my grandmother had.

Loree

Oh Kim, you have such pretty things and soo much imagination. I enjoy visiting dear Daisy Cottage so much.

Anna

Aww I love those signs in your garden, they are too cute :) Spring is really the best season of all.. I've spend a wonderfull weekend at the lake and in the forest.. it was a blast. Much love xoxox

Nancy Hutson Maisenbach

Your Saturday sounds delightful as were the pictures. My Saturday was a nice day too. I was preparing for Sunday. I love seeing our home through the eyes of another. I can over look a lot with my eyes. After sprucing up I planned, shopped and chopped. You all know the routine.
My favorite today was the basket in the kitchen. So pleasing to look at!
Peace!

Melodie

OH MY GOSH Kim..........I LOVE the idea of planting plates!! I'm such a softie for china, but I can't really use it all...........maybe I can!!..........thanks for such a terrific blog.....

Diane

Ah ha, - someone else noticed those pretty drinking glasses! I thought I was the only one - I am certain I had those kind of glasses growing up! Wow, it sure brings back memories!!! It is interesting how something you didn't remember, will suddenly come back to you! Anyway - always love your blog, your colors and your optimism!!! Oops, and your pictures too!!!

Hugs from Michigan - Diane

Thank You Dear Sis!

Thank you 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
