  1. Brenda thank you for sharing your lovely home with us! I noticed in one of your pictures that you charge your phone on your nightstand. For health reasons, you should keep your phone far away from your head as you sleep. All the best!

  2. I love the changes you've made. I'm not moving any furniture. I'm trying to get rid of the piles and baskets that I've let accumulate. When I donate something or throw away old magazines, I feel so free.
    I, too, love your quilts. They add so much color. I'm not much for "white space" either.

  3. I love to problem solve too! Most of the time my projects stem from a problem "I think" that I have, something that bothers me… I love the changes that you've made. Your bedroom is pretty. That's my next room to tackle. My bedroom decor has always lacked something…but I have some pallet wood and some ideas 🙂 You always inspire Brenda!

  4. Looks very nice and I love the colors and how well it all comes together. Very cozy!

    Blessings,
    Jill

  5. Brenda I love all of the changes! You have incorporated some gorgeous colors and they all blend together! And don't feel bad. ..I'm doing the same thing. .. the house is topsy-turvy right now, lol

  6. I like the you are going back to your original colors. I like them better than the boho colors. I like the style but not always the colors. I am slowly adding things to the walls . With the living and dining rooms plus the kitchen all the same room, it is hard to decide. Be careful moving things.

    1. Don't worry. I have all vinyl floors. Easy to move stuff. I just had the bug for Boho. But it didn't last very long!

  7. I always love to see how you change things around. I love to change things too. But, I am afraid I could not live with a plain white wall.. I always tell my friends, live is to short for just white. We have so many wonderful colors to live with. I love color!! Keep up the good work…

    1. I am trying to live with "more" white walls. Still going to be things on them. Always. But I'm trying not to cover them from floor to ceiling.

  8. Change is always great! Love the look of the coffee bar area, where does one purchase a coffee cup hanger such as you have? Thanks for sharing Lisa@ Sweet Tea N' Salty Air

    1. The coffee cup hanger you're seeing is one that I found, of all places, at my grocery store, for $21! I have a shorter one I ordered from World Market for about $15. But the taller ones are usually pricey when you can find them. That's why I snapped it up.

  9. Your quilts are truly lovely. You are a very talented lady. Your home is a reflection of your creativity. I read once that for woman- rearranging furniture is the equivalent to taking a vacation. I just finished cleaning out and rearranging four closets and the pantry while my husband was away on a duck hunting trip. I had a ball and am very refreshed! Lani

    1. When I was married, I couldn't wait for him to go out of town so I could turn the house upside down!

  10. Love your changes.. And I too move things around, from place to place.. I just found your blog and am having so much fun looking around.. You have some beautiful decorating ideas.. Love it. Judy

  11. Great changes. Love the height for the night stands. I've been on a "change it up" binge too. Been meaning to say, I love your new header. Have a nice weekend.

  12. I just love how creative you are with your furnishings! My home hasn't changed lately because I somehow feel 'stuck'. Especially since Christmas. Thanks for inspiring me to try again! Oh, and I have to have symmetry, also. Or else I can't relax. Does that make sense?

  13. I do the same thing, and then all of a sudden a great solution comes to me and things fit perfectly. I have the same picture of two cows,and the same mug tree by my coffee maker. I love quilts and want to know how you attach them to the wall. Keep being creative and moving things around!

    1. Great minds think (and choose things) alike! I use thumb tacks to adhere the quilts to the wall.

  14. It all looks great. I am the same way, I change one thing and it leads to another and another. You decorating is always so great. Love visiting your blog. Have a great day. Karie

  15. It looks fantastic, Brenda – as does your new header!! Love both looks! Oh, and I'm obsessed with that super cute lamp next to your bed – the one with the embroidered shade. I admit, I have a thing for lamps…it might be a little addiction – 🙂

  16. I'm right there with you Brenda! Our house feels so unsettled to me. January is like that I think. Your apartment looks great from where I sit! 🙂 ~julie

    1. I think maybe it has something to do with putting all the holiday things away, and then not quite knowing where to arrange things back.

  17. It looks great! I love how all your pieces have such great storage also. In a small place we have to look for all those nooks and crannies to put our things. I have been moving furniture, adding a new to me chair and getting rid of clutter. It feels so good. So much more to go but I will dedicate the month of January to getting my front room just as I want it. Then on to the next room. I'm on a roll. How do you move furniture? by yourself or does someone help? It's a bit of a problem for me but sometimes I can move things myself.

    1. It does feel good. I have readers email and ask me: Doesn't it upset you to give your things away? No, it really doesn't. I'm not sure why. I just usually think someone else can use it.

    1. I haven't shown it yet, but I took the smaller quilts down from above the side tables next to the couch. I'm trying to learn to live with "white space" without automatically feeling I have to fill it.

  18. I know what you mean about always searching for better ways to design and use a space. I think you've done a great job. I like the 2 dressers beside your bed. I have the same thing next to mine. I like the extra surface space they provide.

  19. I do the same thing – one change always leads to another. I think it's fun to move things around and get a fresh perspective. And the bright and cheery colors lend themselves to a lot of mix and match in your apartment! Wish you could come see my space with new eyes and help me out…

    1. Yeah, kind of stupid of me not having a designated place to eat. But I was actually just pushing my desk chair down and eating at that long 8 foot craft table!
