Jersey Fresh

Summer fun is in full swing here in South Jersey.  Mallory took a break from her job working with children at Summer camp to spend a week in Nashville on a missions trip with our church youth group.

Last week I took Middle and Little blueberry picking at one of my favorite farm markets in Mullica Hill.

You go ahead, I'll stay here and watch.

 
We wasted no time making good use of those yummy blueberries!

Gluten-free Blueberry Muffins!

Cooling off in the pool.

Looking for blueberries in all the wrong places...

All this fun sure works up an appetite!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a Summerlicious week!

Outdoor Bliss 2013

Last week marked the first official heatwave of the season here in South Jersey.  For the first time in years we got to enjoy a seasonable Spring with cool temps up until Memorial Day which is the unofficial start of Summer around here.  People head "Down the Shore",  roadside produce stands abound with fresh Jersey sweet corn and tomatoes, and weekends are filled with BBQ's.  But for me the best part is getting to spend time outside with my family and friends.

Sprucing up our outdoor spaces is something I look forward to every year.  I love being outside, getting my hands dirty in the garden and decorating the front porch.

Welcome to our home!

The backyard is where we love to hang out the most in the Summer time.

What's your favorite thing to do this time of year??

Thanks for stopping by and have a Summerlicious week!

Mary's Living Room

I recently had the pleasure of designing a Living Room for a previous client.  Mary is a wonderful lady who lives in a beautiful condo.  Her personality is sweet and soft so I decided to use that as my inspiration for her room.

As usual, my starting point was the accessories.  I found a set of pillows on Joss and Main that gave me the color scheme for the whole room.

It's a very large room and the previous arrangement made it feel disconnected (sorry no before pictures...).

Almost everything in this room was purchased online.  The chairs and rug are from Overstock.

The sofa, ottoman, accent table and media console are all from Joss and Main.  Most of the pillows and throws are also from Joss and Main.

The window treatments and artwork are from Bed, Bath & Beyond.

Miscellaneous accessories were purchased at Marshalls and Ross.

This project came in way under budget. Mary is thrilled with her new space and already has me looking for new Dining Room furniture with the money we saved.

But before that I'm taking time off for some much needed rest and relaxation!

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulicious day!!
xoxo,
Kim
