Dewdrop has come to spend some summer with us. My pal, Lori was kind to offer to have me stay over in her Kentucky home as a half way spot to pick up our grand fairy, who was coming from NC.
Not only did I get some precious time to reconnect with an old friend, I got to meet her family for the first time. And yep, they were as wonderful as she is.
And her home? I was probably too full of seething jealousy to take photos...
Seriously, what was wrong with me? Why didn’t I take pics?
Every inch of her home is a delight. I snapped this of some of her artwork on display in her studio, but it doesn’t represent her home, which is more neutral toned and filled with vintage and farmhouse glam design.
Plus, the most important part of any home, comfort and hospitality. There wasn’t a single area in that house that didn’t call out, “Hey, sink into this comfy chair and relax a bit!”
Lori will be teaching at A Snowbird’s Song, and she sent her finished examples home with me (photos soon.)
That isn’t all she sent home with me...
She filled my car with this load of vintage glory!
(Maybe she was afraid that I would steal her sweet, little Lucy, and wanted to make sure there was no space in the car to squeeze her into? I did fall for her girls, and that littlest one really grabbed my heart. I wanted to keep her.)
Recently, I had redone my studio and had everything rearranged and streamlined. But all of the wonders Lori sent home with me went seamlessly into the room and made it even better. Probably because all of it was stuff I loved.
If you decorate with things you love, they always mix and match well together, right?
This prom gown and stack of boxes from her look like they were supposed to be here, don’t they?
Thank you, Lori, for your generosity in sharing your home, family, and pretties with me.
I'm glad I didn’t kidnap your daughter, that would not have been a very nice thing to do to repay you for your kindness (although, I would have enjoyed having her around!)
TRuis post made me smile. So glad you came and your welcome to come anytime!!!
