  1. How do you hang your quilts? It looks like tacks. I love your ideas and your home. Thank you for sharing.

  2. Everything looks good…I love to take things down and rearrange…I am bad to get TOO much on the walls and then it does take away from some of the more important things…so I go thru every now and then and remove at least one thing.
    I just repainted dining room benches today and they look better. They were blue and white in my old house…now, in this newer place, they are better black and white.

  3. Hi Brenda, great tips. I am doing the same here. De-cluttering, refreshing, moving furniture around and changing out colors. So much fun. Love your pics. Celeste

  4. I admire your decorating…I think of what my daughter has taught me about negative space. Empty areas that make us focus on what we love. Did you mean you still do or don't hang quilts—wasn't sure about that paragraph.

    Re-painting…I love your energy!

  5. All your quilts are gorgeous, but I really love that 9-patch alternating with the floral blocks.

    What a good idea to cover a lamp shade with an embroidered piece of vintage linen. I have a lot of short embroidered runners that might be perfect for such a project.

  6. After so long having our house mostly staged, I find I have so many things to put on the wall. But I have clutter phobia. Love your ideas.

  7. You could "jump in red and swim in it"… Haha. You do have a way with red, Brenda. Those quilts are so charming and warm. I tend toward mirrors, because then I don't have to commit to long-term color and art choices. I'm trying to work on this fear 😉

  8. Brenda,
    Everything is looking new and fresh and so homey! I love it all. My daughter actually got the same cow canvas last fall and put it in her kitchen. That guy can go anywhere!

  10. You are a tremendously gifted decorator! I love all of the changes. Your home looks so cozy and comfortable. I've used rocks in our landscaping outside. Got them in Colorado many years ago. Have kept them through many moves!

  11. Brenda,
    I like rocks too, but I just collect ones shaped like hearts or I would have a house full. My daughter likes them too.
    I love your cozy simple style. Thank you for sharing.

  12. Great tips! My 11 year old son brings me small rocks that he picks up when he's outside playing. I keep them in a glass jar proudly displayed front and center. That's the best decor 🙂 I put an empty frame around a metal medallion on my bedroom wall today. It was nice coming here today and seeing you do something similar. I wonder if I'll ever get this house cleaned and put back together. You're doing a great job! Lots of inspiring ideas and pic's here!

  13. I am a fairly recent reader, and I wonder if you are the quilter of your lovely quilts, or if you bought them? They really do warm up your space and make it look so homey.

  14. No…you are not the only one who likes rocks! I use them outdoors in the landscape…as well as inside my home! I collect them from places I visit! 😉

  15. I am wondering where you got the cow canvas. Love cows since childhood. Also love your quilt collection. I read your posts daily Brenda…you inspire me to try when I feel like giving up.
