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

Sunshine

5629530916_279b47d056_o 

 

 

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high

If I had a day that I could give you
I'd give to you a day just like today
If I had a song that I could sing for you
I'd sing a song to make you feel this way

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high

If I had a tale that I could tell you
I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile
If I had a wish that I could wish for you
I'd make a wish for sunshine all the while

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high
Sunshine almost all the time makes me high
Sunshine almost always.....

 

lyrics by john denver

 

 

May the sun shine not only on your home but in your heart today!

Thanks for the sunshine Kim! It's snowing here in Michigan! Gloomy and cold.

Sunny rays seem to be coming around in gentle waves today---ours unexpected during this week of projected DREAR every single day.

So Today---I enjoyed it, beginning about six a.m., upstairs where the beams began peeking through the sheers. I invited everyone to join me, too. And I think your addition of John Denver is a splendid accompaniment to the gold of the sun.

Ah, a favorite song, although sunshine often makes me sneeze. Go figure. I wasn't finished with John Denver but I have several of his albums and tapes. Sigh!

Happy sunshine to you!

Hugs!

Oh I just love that song- haven't heard it in forever. Going to go put on Denver's Greatest Hits right now!

Have a blessed Holy Week, Kim!

Hi Kim,
Me too! Sun shine makes me smile..
and we had the most beautiful sunshine this past weekend in my little town of Modesto Ca.
I love John Denver, we took our girls to see John Denver for their first concert, and they still remember it and still sings along to his songs even now. John Denver had a life well lived but all to short.
Have a sweet day and big hugs for you,Elizabeth

Sheila

Oh! I love that John Denver song.
And his sweet story telling style of music. Jim Croce was another favorite of mine. Their lives were taken far too soon. But we'll have their music till the end of time.
It is a beautiful sunny day today Kim, Don't you just love Spring?

The sun is shining brightly today here as well. Here in the pacific northwest we never take the sunshine for granted, it is in fact CELEBRATED.

I love it! My family get togethers are always full of guitar playing and singing. We sing a lot of classic rock and folk. This has been one of the staple songs in our get togethers for as long as I can remember :) Makes me think of summer nights around a bonfire singing with my family ...makes me smile :D

You are so right: Sunshine on the water is lovely! I always think this as I take my coffee down to the dock and watch nature unfold before my eyes. How blessed I feel. Thanks Kim for reminding me.

Posted by: Pat | April 18, 2011 at 06:22 PM

Anne

Kim, I'm sure a lot of your readers would like to say to you that "You are my sunshine, you are my sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray, please don't take my sunshine away." I agree with Beth above, that we are lucky to live in Florida. (Even though my local newspaper says we're in the worst drought in 80 years)

I have always loved John Denver. Remembering him always tugs at my heart...he was a sensitive soul who left us far too soon. His music always lifts me up. Hugs, Terri

Bluebirds and Butterflies

Hi Kim,
Didn't John Denver give us some great songs? I miss him and his wonderful songs. I have a song posted on my blog playlist called "For You" that he did. It is a very romantic song. I am hoping my son and future daughter-in-law will play that song at their wedding. Thanks for posting the words of the song today---sunshine lifts our spirit so much! Of course, I love your bluebird with the light shining on it at the end, too! Have a fabulous day today, and hope you get lots of "sunshine on your shoulder" today! xoxo Kim

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

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

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
