• Sharing how the foyer table looks today. I gathered little pots to see what I had to fill them with but then I liked them all clumped together here. Can you see the old gum ball machine? I had that in my shop space for sale but brought it home yesterday. Thought I would do something with it. What would you do? White gum balls? When the boys were little we had a gum ball machine. It was a fun surprise for the little friends to buy gum in Ben and Luke’s playroom. I hope the boys remember the little things. . . #downtoearthstyleblog #foyer #eclectic #vintage #vignette

  • This bedroom reminds me of family vacations in Park City when I was little. My sister and I shared the loft room of the condo we rented every year for several years in a row. We went in the summer, it was off season and slow. Park City is not that way anymore but I am so thankful for the memories. This week I am thinking of my mom so much. Must be the change in seasons but I feel so nostalgic, even a bit sad. This room is in a home up the street. It’s super cute. Enjoy your Wednesday. 🌸 . . #downtoearthstyleblog #interiors #missingmom #bedroom #farmhouse

  • Our loft space has been a small project over the last week. It's a highly visible space but under used. I posted on how I made it a bit more cozy on the blog today. My link in my IG bio doesn't like to send you straight there but you can visit downtoearthstyle.com to see for yourself. Have a happy Tuesday! . . #downtoearthstyleblog #loftstyle #tuliphillhouse #modernrustic #vintagestyle #redesign #interiors #cottage #welivehere

  • Do you get nervous when houses in your neighborhood go up for sale? I didn’t used to until we put our home in Connecticut on the market in 2012. The market was terrible at the time and it took forever to sell. There are several homes for sale in our community here in VA now too, so I have been watching them closely. Today a lot of “under contract” labels went up on them so I can breath a little sigh of relief. However, I still get whoozy thinking of buyer and seller markets. 🙄 We bought our first home in 1996 or 1997. (?) We’ve seen a lot of up turns on the housing market but some lows too. I don’t take home ownership for granted but I certainly don’t want to lose money. I am a nervous Nellie this Monday night. Don’t mind me. Just look at this cute house for sale (I don’t dare look up the price 🙄) Thankfully the interest rates are great. Our first home was an FHA loan at 8.5 percent 😮 I think we have bought and sold 7 homes since then. 😮 It used to be exciting to move up and on. Now it makes me nauseous. I think I am going to go to bed and wake up with a more hopeful outlook. Let’s put this big Monday baby to bed! 💤💕 . . #newbuild #newhome #farmhouse #curbappeal #whitefarmhouse #cottage #downtoearthstyleblog #cottagestyle #farmhousestyle

  • I am a fan of ferns on the porch. As the weather is unpredictable it’s easy to pull them inside when it’s cold. . Do you watch House Hunters? I watch tv while I fold laundry. Thankful to be settled in our home but shopping for a house is so fun. Selling is the worst though. Buyers are so picky! . . #lmbpresets #porch #exteriors #curbappeal #downtoearthstyleblog #frontdoor

  • This room is one I had imagined being used a lot when we built this house. A bonus/game room. Turns out... it’s basically a hallway to a bathroom. Maybe I should have listened to the kids and put a door to it from the hall. I like natural light and that is what this western facing room gives to our second floor space but that is about it. . Would you put doors on it to make it a bedroom with an en suite? . #newbuild #gameroom #familyspace #interiors #familyroom #bonusroom #loft

  • For real I am sharing a somewhat clean kitchen photo but if you look closely, there are cups in the sink. Aren’t there always cups in everyone’s sink? 🙄 This place is the hardest working room in the house. When it looks tidy enough for a photo I jump for joy.👏👏👏 . Have a fun Tuesday! . #kitchen #downtoearthstyleblog #farmhousekitchen #interiors #currenthomeview

  • I love to feed the birds. We have so many colorful feathered friends here in Virginia. We have some not so colorful fury friends too. I put a little pot of seeds out to share with the four legged critters to make it easier on them. It’s amazing how they will risk their life for a little bird seed. Besides, Mazi doesn’t notice them as much when they just crawl on over, it’s when the squirrels fly across the windows that makes Ms. Mazi b-a-z-e-r-k! 🙄 Our bird feeder hangs from the house. . We turned our A/C on already 😮 Have you? . . #squirrels #nature #backyard #lmbpresets #garden #downtoearthstyleblog

  • Tell me what you think of this brick fireplace painted black. The coffered ceiling is black too. 😮 I thought it was stunning but I love black. This is a family room of a model home in a new section of our neighborhood. Living in a new construction neighborhood has a few perks but I wake up to noise every morning. It will be nice when our street is finally finished. Have a great Monday! . . #familyroom #fireplace #interiors #housebeautiful
