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

Gorgeous...and it does go straight to my heart too! :D

Janine

I have to agree with you. We can learn so many beautiful life lessons if we just open our eyes to take in the beauty that surrounds us inbetween all the busy-ness. Thank you for the reminder during a busy season.

Mother Nature is so lovely......
be still and take it all in.
We should just kick back and take
it all in and not fuss over the small
things.

right?

love you...
me

Michele

Amen to that, Kim!

What a gorgeous and perfect photo, thank you!

I couldn't agree more, sweet Kim.

Hi Kim,
Gorgeous photo! One beautiful piece of nature captured....oh how I miss the colors that autumn brought us. Winter has come, snow is falling and it's so cold!
But it's a beautiful time of the year with all the festivities to look forward to. This weekend we celebrate St. Nicolas and soon it will be Christmas. Hope you'll enjoy decorating the house as much as I do!
Warm hug, Nina.

Trish Rowley

Beautiful photo Kim, I totally agree with you have a great day Trish xox ;)

Kim
Thank you for that inspiring post. At this busy time of the year when we are buying gifts, baking, running around and decorating ~ we should all stop and soak up the wonder all around us.
Beautiful picture
Have a great day

Pretty berries!!!

Alice

When we were young my dad made a point to take us on drives in the country, pointing out berries, mounds of dirt that the Native Indians had made their home upon, clouds in the sky, etc. We learned to appreciate these gifts. So many of us hurry around and never stop to appreciate what is right in front of us. I guess the 'stop and smell the roses' phrase is so appropriate these days.

Thanks for sharing the lovely photo!

Lovely sentiment, Kim. Have a wonderful day and give Maggie and marley a hug from me. La

Joni

This morning, we have a little snow to enjoy! Thanks for the reminder of these gifts sent to us each day from the Creator, Kim!
XOXO

There is no way that we mere mortals can compete with Our Lord's creativity, splendor and simplicity. Not even bloggers! Lovely post Kim!!!

Lots of love,
Susan and Bentley

I love this, Kim. Truly I do.
Peaceful day to you.

Sharon Wengel

Beautiful, makes me want to grab my camera and go out looking for beautiful sights. Thank you !

Melesa Garrison

We truly have a Great Creator to appreciate, all of the glory and splendor ;)

Sami Jo

We woke up to 7 inches of Mother Nature's Gifts! It's gorgeous! Happy Day! Hearts, Sami Jo

Enjoyed the photo of the pretty red berries.

Mother Nature is not too happy with us up in the Northeast today..driving rain and heavy winds (55 miles per hour) although it is fairly mild. Also scattered power outages and bridge restrictions, etc. I had plans with a friend today but that got postponed so I am staying put and trying to get some decorating done. Can't say for sure how that is going to work out ;-)

Lynda Dishner

Mother Nature is getting us in the mood for CHRISTMAS.
When I got up this morning my black jeep was white on top.
And snow has blown all day. LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!
It is soooooooooo cold today. Isn't mother nature wonderful. Come on up to Virginia Is For Lovers.

Gail K.

So true, so true Kim....as I awoke to lightly falling snow. I'm crunching up the fall leaves I used for decoration upon my flower bed for winter mulch, and putting the small gourds and pumpkins in the compost pile for beautiful soil next spring. Nature is balm for the soul....I believe our Creator had that in mind....

Kathy :)

Pretty pretty......

How is everyone at Daisy Cottage, I hope well and I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

No I haven't started decorting yet....I will this week-end. I am now an empty-nester Kim and I have to say that when my daughter left on Monday, I was so sad it hit me like a ton of bricks. Sometimes when they're little you wish for the day but never think it will come.

Both of my kids are now 3,000 miles away, if you had told me when they were little that their jobs would take them that far away I would have said NO WAY !!!!

On the bright side we will have fun vacations and their rooms will ALWAYS be here for them, not like the Staples commercial LOL

Have a wonderful day, hope I wasn't a Debbie Downer today.....

All the best,
Kathy :)

Pretty picture! I was sitting on the back porch about a week ago talking to my red birds at the feeder and here comes just walking along the fence line an 8 point buck deer. I sat as still as a statue and he walked on by, glancing at me ever once in a while. He was probably headed to the north pole. Cindy OKla

Val

Indeed. I hope you and yours have a great holiday season, Kim.

Donna@soakinginmustard.com

Finding the beauty that surrounds us every day, a simple gift you can embrace. And it doesn't cost a penny. You can share it with others, too.

Kim, can you tell us what that gorgeous red berry bunch is called? And have you decorated yet?

I always enjoy your welcoming photos and gentle, joyful style.

And the music always comforting and just beautiful.

XOXOX
Donna

Peg

So pretty and it would look so nice on our white wrapping!

Patti VZ

Beautiful, Kim! I needed that dose of beauty today. THANKS!!

Barbara Anne

Another Amen! Will soon be walking about the yard and in the woods to glean some holly with berries, nandina with berries, cedar, and evergreens to bring the soul-satisfying fragrance of Christmas indoors.

Thanks be to God!

Hugs!

Brenda@Coffeeteabooks

It snowed all night last night and most of the day.

How lovely to see a picture of something other than white (although one must admit it looks very Christmasy outside). :)

D'Ann

I think we discount Winter's beauty...in favor of the briliiant colors of Spring.

Winter has its own beauty that should not be missed.

maria

Hi Kim I am new to your blog, I love shabby chic and vintage stuff and i bought the book ,Where Women Create. I read about you and tuned into your blog, I fell in love with it. I read for hours and hours, and i checked out some of the blogs of your friends, and things you wrote about, I love your pictures, such beauty in simple things, I was wondering what kind of camera you use to get such color and detail. I would love to go to the fancy flea, Maybe one day! I live down here just outside the City of New orleans, La. And have a little cottage in the country, that is all furnished with flea market finds, I lived there after Katrina storm so my son, The youngest of 6, could finish school, and my house was being repaired, I love it ,so I decided to keep it after house was completed. I go to a craft fair in canton Mississippi one or two times a year, in May and October, and stay at the cutest little B&B, I rather the vintage things though .I sure hope you return to your Blog ,i am looking forward to reading it, and the inspiration i get from it. I feel i have made a friend,one that feels like i do about so many things in life. Love your cottage, maybe one day i can send you pictures of mine, Not as well done as yours though, Thanks and have a VERY Merry and Blessed Christmas. DENA L

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!

Thank you Karen!
