I spend a lot of time in my dining room and kitchen..
it's a favorite area of the Summer House
with so much natural light flowing in thru 2 sets of French doors
and the 5 large windows.
The plants think this is a GREENHOUSE...
they are all doing so well.
...just take a look at the fern on the floor...
it's so healthy and green and......growing !
"SWEET AS sugar"...a sweet gift from sweet grand, COURTNEY
New sconces from Kirklands that I really love.
I use a LOT of PIONEER WOMAN'S recipes and I
LUV her pretty cookbooks.
I am going today with my girl, STACY LEIGH....
we are heading to a great place not too far away
that has SHOP after SHOP after SHOP.....
a great time to go and I just know we will find lots of fun things
for Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers.
I have a little bit of extra money (if there IS such a thing)
since I sold a bed we no longer needed....
sooooo.....
hoping to find lots of goodies for all the stockings
that will soon hang
by the chimney with care.
which reminds me that I want to show you this adorable stocking
from JOHANNA GAINES
new line at TARGET.
She has a lot of cute things at reasonable prices there.
LOVE TO ALL,
bj

Your home looks so pretty! I always love your black and white touches. I'm starting to shop for stocking stuff also!
ReplyDeleteBJ your home is gorgeous and your plants are amazing . . . I wish I had a green thumb, but when it comes to house plants, I have zero talent. It is a true sin for me to even bring one into our home, because I can not make them thrive. Outdoor garden plants are another story . . . they love me. I think it's all the manure I spread, LOL. I pinned that little sign "Please Close the Gate" . . . we need one like that. So, if you don't mind, I'll be copying it to hang on our front gate. Every now and then the Fed-Ex or UPS puts something on the front porch and forgets to the shut the gate. I'm afraid that our little Butchy will get in the road. Many of your neighbors have lost dogs to the road through the years and we don't want to be one of them. Well, I have certainly wagged my tongue a bit here . . . but once more, beautiful home and I love the black and white checks . . . have fun Christmas shopping.

Love your dining room with all the light coming. That would be my favorite room also. Your plants love their location and they do give off a lot of oxygen. Everything looks terrific BJ. So glad that your getting out and about. Happy hunting my friend.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Mary

Oh my . . . your green plants look wonderful . . .
ReplyDeleteThey must be saying, thanks for the sunshine, by staying so green and full!
Lovely home you have bj and lovely decorative pieces too.
Enjoy shopping with Stacey . . .
Shop for the stocking stuffers but don’t forget to buy something “sweet” for yourself!
(Years ago, after a day of shopping with my mother, it always ended with a stop for “a sweet”,)
I love my “momma memories.)
Oh BJ...You have created such a darling living space which is full of color and personality! I wish I had your talent! It is indeed House Beautiful...have a grand time holiday shopping!
ReplyDeleteOH HONEY, your home is GAWGEOUS! I am stopping at Target after Church today to pick up computer ink, I will check out the Gaines collection:) Have a blessed day dear B.J. HUGS!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful home and I must say that those zebra pillows are the cutest! I love zebras and that is partially why I sell Pink Zebra. Enjoy your shopping trip!
ReplyDeleteSuch a bright a pretty space - I love how you decorated it!
ReplyDeleteThose sconces really are gorgeous. Have fun shopping today!
ReplyDeleteLove the sconces and your pretty room- love all those pretty plants, too. Mine are still outside as summer is still sticking around. It won't be long until I have to de-bug and bring them in, but I have no place to put them. Heading into a sad holiday time (first without my mom) so I am trying to think of new and different things to add to old favorites to change it up a bit. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking amazing and you have made everything so inviting and comfy there bj. We don't have enough light to grow much indoors, but I have started two amaryllis which hopefully will grow and bloom for the holidays as we plan to be at home this year.
ReplyDeleteLove those sconces - what a great find.
Happy shopping!
Mary -
BJ, The sconces look fabulous like that. I would love the wire baskets with liners. I love things organized...not that I am any more. LOL. I love have lots of light in my home too. Hope you have a great time with Stacy. I am eager to see some of Joanna's things in the stores. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeletep.s. the plants look wonderful.
Can't wait to hear all about your shopping trip! Your plants are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMy Amber loves everything there is about Joanna Gaines and The Pioneer Woman!
Your house looks just great. The plants are so green and beautiful. Have fun shopping. Have a blessed day.. Madeline
ReplyDeleteHave fun shopping, I know you will. Oh and you will inspire us with all the wonderful finds. I love, light and so I super love your room. We are having such a dark fall, sure doesn't help ones spirit does it?
ReplyDeleteI will take a full picture of the hutch to share with you, just so dark I could not get a good picture.
Nonie
Your home is lovely bj. These rooms are so sun filled and bright and makes a great place for all of your plants. I know you wil have a grand time shopping for gifts. Enjoy the day........
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the light that comes into your space. Love it. As I write this, I'm sitting on our outside cafe table, that we brought indoors until we get a new kitchen table.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cozy looking room! That black and white stocking is you! Do you live near the Gains? I love that cute couple and their style.
ReplyDeleteLisa
You have a lovely home. The Hutch is so pretty done in your color. I do like the old glass.
ReplyDeleteI would spent tons of time there too! What a lovely bright space, and your plants do love it there!
ReplyDeleteOh, my, your house is just beautiful!!! So warm and homey and inviting and lovely! I can see why you like to spend a lot of time there! Your plants are just amazing. So thankful to visit with you today, sweet friend. I am continuing to pray for you.
ReplyDeleteWith all that lovely natural lighting your house is a greenhouse. Beautiful décor.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Love all your natural light coming in your home. I can see why your plants are doing so well. They look very pretty. Have fun with your friend shopping. Sounds like a great girls day out.

GOOD SEEING YOU GETTING INVOLVED AND OUT AND ABOUT. IT WILL HELP A LOT. REACH DOWN A LITTLE MORE FOR THAT EXTRA STRENGTH YOU WILL NEED FOR THE HOLIDAYS. AFTER THE NEW YEAR, THINGS WILL BEGIN TO GET SOMEWHAT EASIER. HANG IN MY FRIEND AND ALWAYS KNOW YOU ARE ON MY MIND.
ReplyDeleteTarget often does pretty well with having pretty neat decor
ReplyDeleteHope that you had a fun time with Stacy or will have. My time is a little off. Oh my! Your room looks so light and bright wearing its new paint. And your plants...Gorgeous! This is a room for Better Homes and Gardens. 🌿
ReplyDeleteOh fun, I still need to head over to Target and check out the Home line from the Gaines'
ReplyDeleteHave a great week bj!
If this were a room in my house, I, too, would spend a lot of time there! The french doors, plants, lighting and furnishings are all so cheery!
ReplyDeleteLovely, simply lovely! I really like Pioneer Woman's recipes too. Have you ever tried making her apple dumplings? We all love them, including me who had never liked baked apples of any kind before.
ReplyDeleteBlessings~
P.S. I'm your newest follower. :)
Plants breath such life into a home don't they?! It is no wonder that yours are putting on such a good show, it's a virtual hug from the universe to say we're all doing pretty good :) Have fun shopping!
ReplyDeleteWren x
I always enjoyed the photos from your dining room before and now a whole new pleasure. You've done a spectacular job which I suspect is only the beginning ;)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I noticed the sconces first thing and wondered if they were new. (I almost said scones but they will no doubt appear at some time--haha)
I would spend my time in that beautiful sunny space too.
ReplyDeleteHi BJ, your home is so warm and inviting. I know it holds many happy memories.... and more to be made for sure.
ReplyDeleteYour home is beautiful, BJ. Love it!
ReplyDeleteYour home is so pretty BJ and the best thing about it, is the way you and your family fill it with love! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours ~ J. xxx
ReplyDeleteThe kitchen is the heart of the home and large or small it seems to be where everyone congregates. I can see why yours would be a magnet. I'm wildly envious of your beautiful light -- my area is so dark. It's just a wonderful place and so cozy.
ReplyDeleteYour day sounds wonderful!
Oh....now I love your home more than ever !!! Look at all that light. And your plants are just thriving ....beautiful. Take care...please know I think of you so often!!!
