You are so welcome! Isn't it so much fun being a part of this wonderful community. It has been my saving grace many times and so much more than a place to just look at lovely houses etc.
BTW,your kids look like they are a credit to you and your husband.

Welcome to the land of blogs...
You have started off in such a big way. Your home and style is amazing. Looks like it is right out of a magazine...or should be in one. Looking forward to seeing more.

Maria,
I was wondering....
i was going to buy an Atlanta Bartlett book but I was wondering which one would you recommend to buy? There are so many to choose from. Which one is your favorite/most resourceful/most inspiring in your opinion?
Thanks!

Hi Maria, I came by via Garden Antiques Vintage. I am so glad I did too. What beautiful style you have. I am so happy to have found you and know you will be a great inspiration to me. I am also a mom of many (six) only I am 20 years ahead of you in age. Motherhood is the best thing that ever happened to me. And now that all six are grown and five on their own, they are truly my best friends.
Have a wonderful time here in blogland.
hugs

Welcome to blogland!!! Your home is so incredibly inspiring - I was totally blown away and can't wait to share your spot with others!! I have only been a member of "blogland" for 6 months or so and I can't tell you the inspiration and admiration I have for these talented and creative folks that I have "met". Not to mention all of the giggles I get from them! Always a pick me up when needed! Good luck - can't wait to see and hear more from you!

Simply white says it all~You have a talent and I think we will enjoy seeing more to come.

A lil press would be great for you and do believe your home should be in a magazine.Maybe Flea Market Style will have another print coming out.They will be looking for homes done from Flea Market, Tag sales, vintage shopping.Sounds like you are a thrifty shopper.

I tried the white-on-white with my very cute ex cowboy, still husband from Montana turned city skicker and he was worse than the kids.I now have denim slipcovers.What is your secret? Thanks~Kim

Monica said...
