Happy Thursday Everyone. Today I am joining Annie, and Mary Ann and a great group of home decor bloggers for our fall cozy home tour. Come join me for my Natural Collected Fall Home Tour. There is no need to go out and purchase a bunch of decor that is holiday specific. Try and repurpose what you have. Try to look at your existing decor with a new eye. We have a lot of antique and vintage items. They can be easily repurposed and reused for a unique "new" look. I added a few new pillow ...

Fixer Upper Living Room Before and After
I have been meaning to do a post on our new old living room for a while but there are still a few things that aren't done like some window repairs etc. but I decided I may as well go ahead. Let's take a look at my Fixer Upper Living Room Before and After. Here is a shot of the living room from the entryway. I probably will get an area rug at some point, but I am loving the openness of the room right now. This room (as does the entire house) has great natural light. It has high ceilings ...
Fixer Upper Bedroom Reveal
Hi everyone. I am finally sharing some of our new old house. If you are new, we moved from our 5,000 sq ft homeinto a charming rental (that needed love) that we have owned for over 25 years. We sold some of our furniture with the home but brought many pieces with us and many more are in storage. Our new home is just over 2,000 sq feet with an additional office and 1/2 bath off the garage. It is all in progress, but our bedroom is nearly done, so I am sharing it as-is. I have ordered a ...

Stylish Solutions for Small Baths
Kelly, one of my readers, recently contacted me and asked me if I would ever consider doing a post on Powder Rooms. Interestingly enough our fixer-upper involves reconfiguring a half bath to make room for a tiny shower and vanity that will be our master bath. Not only was Kelly's request timely it got me thinking about an idea for a new series. I get a lot of emails about specific problems so I thought it would be fun to do a monthly post titled "Ask Cindy". If you would like to have a chance ...

How to Style a Console
I am a huge fan of a good console. A creatively styled console gives a foyer, wall, or sofa importance. When styling your table or console piece pull accent colors from the rugs, fabrics, or art in the room. If your console piece isn't big enough for the space,try adding a pair of chairs to extend the length of the piece. If you have a lot of empty space under the table consider filling it in with baskets, boxes, or ottomans. Let's take a look at How to Style a Console. I am no ...
