  1. You are quite an interior decorator. Thanks for sharing your cozy little house.

  2. I just saw an episode of “Unsellable Houses” yesterday on HGTV and one of the things they said stood out to me. Their recommendation for decorating a smaller home is to have one color that you use a bit of in each room to creative cohesiveness. I think that’s exactly what you’re talking about here and it makes sense to me. Thank you.

  3. I’ve enjoyed your sense of color and decorating style for years. Your home is beautiful, warm and cozy. Thank you for sharing!

  4. Love all of the color. What I really want to see is your closet! Tee, hee.

  5. I love your kitchen. I wouldn’t change a thing in there. Just the pop of the yellow plates is perfect!

  6. You are just so talented. I never tire of seeing your pictures.

  7. Lovely home from your choices. The polka dot plates are fun so that adds to the happy feeling in your home. Your home decorating is some the best I see.

  8. Your apartment is lovely. I use more muted colors, but the way you use bright colors is amazing. Well done!

  9. Brenda, thanks for the decorating post. Those are my favorite! Do you remember the Layla curtains I asked you to look at? They arrived and I’m so pleased. I was expecting really sheer curtains but they aren’t. They are just heavy enough to hang beautifully. And, with the colors of orange, turquoise, green, red and touches of yellow, they are a feast for the eyes. It will be easy to select an accent color. What a happy dining area I have! These are hung on the patio doors which is to the right of my round table. Could you suggest an appropriate centerpiece? Thanks.

  10. Good Morning Brenda!
    What good informative information. I feel like I just had a personal tutorial from a friend on how to apply color evenly throughout the house! I personally love that yellow-gold color; it feels happy and sunny year ’round. And, your charming red bistro style kitchen is always a treat to view! Thank you for this post, very helpful…
    Today feels good, sun is shining for now…. Hope you and your fur-babies have a wonderful week!

  11. You have a wonderful sense of style. I am learning a lot about decorating from your posts. I downsized into a small cottage and am just now starting to put some color on the walls. Now I’m afraid I may be overdoing it…turquois on the kitchen walls with a medium shade of yellow into the adjacent living room. I thought I liked it until I saw your French county cottage. That always happens to me: I like something, get started and then see something I think I like better. I suppose it will all be fine and I can always redo yet again.

    1. Try removing the decor one thing at a time. Then putting things back one at a time. Step back and look before adding another item.

  12. Tasteful, cheerful, colorful, peaceful, beautiful, cohesive, interesting and comfortable are the adjectives I use in describing your home. I think you have hit every nail directly on the head! I actually have plates
    with the colors I am trying to incorporate in my home. I can see pictures of things that I love and how you have decorated your home, but have trouble envisioning a project at the beginning. I love watching renovating shows on TV where they take a rundown home, change walls, floors, fixtures etc., and make it totally different. It is starting at the beginning that is where I get stuck! Thank you for this post!

  13. Every room is just beautiful! I have learned so much about decorating from you! I love the mason jars with the photos !

  14. Brenda, I love what you have done with your space. Your colors are my colors.
    I am so sick of seeing the depressing greys the sheep are using. Keep up the good work.
    Mary Jones.
