Overnight we received about 5 inches of snow. It is our first real snowfall and I love it. It's a day I want to curl up in a warm blanket on the couch with some hot chocolate and read a book. I may just do that later this evening. But I have tons to do, so no cozy couch for me yet. Luckily hubby didn't have to go to work because of the snow so that is an extra bonus!
For those of you who can snuggle up today and just may be looking for some good home decor reads, I thought I'd share with you a few of my favorite blogs. I come across new ones all the time, but these have been some of my favorites.
1. The Lettered Cottage: Layla and Kevin feel like old friends to me. I have been following her for years now and love just about everything she does. She is cute as a button and seems like a truly happy person. They are in the process of adopting a baby so that is another adventure she has been sharing lately. Hopefully that blessing will be realized soon for them. Kevin has mad photography skills and together they make a great team. Layla actually went to decorating school and frequently offers lots of helpful free advise. In fact, she currently has a free download able book on Space Planning - as in your house spaces, not outer space. You will not be disappointed if you go take a look.
2. The Inspired Room: Melissa is a newbie to me. I have just recently started following her and have loved what I've seen. She's a big deal in the decor blogging world and is even publishing her first book in March. I have already preordered it. Go HERE if you'd like to as well. I have no doubt it's going to be good. She has tons of decor and organizing tips that won't disappoint. She is also not a huge DIYer which is nice to see that you can still have a decor blog and not have to do everything yourself to get credit for your taste.
3. Nesting Place: This is also a new blog for me, but Myquillyn (very unique name), has got my number!! Her philosophy about your house and the way you should see it is like manna for any sole who feels discouraged about the state of their home. She also has written a book which I will be blogging about that at a later time, but if you can't wait to hear what I have to say about it - and truthfully you can't, nor should you wait to hear what I say about it - go HERE to get your copy. I'll wait until you get back from doing that to continue. It will be some of the best money you've ever spent.
4. Life in Grace: If ever I coveted a style, Miss Edie Wadsworth would be the winner. I would even covet her name. Her style is full of color and randomness that some how magically all comes together. I hope someday to have at least one room that mimics her home. She is also a great cook and a God fearing woman which inspire me as well. She just seems like a super fun person that I would really like to be friends with. She has a southern drawl that just pulls you in. I called her first if it ever come to that.
4. Thrifty Decor Chic: I saved this one for last because I have probably been following her the longest. Of all the blogs I follow, Sarah has got my style in almost every way. I love everything she does and her home just makes me happy when I see it. She is my decor twin sister but much more of a DIYer then I'll probably ever be. Perhaps when all my kids are in school, I'll join her on that front. Her house is BEAUTIFUL, yet she is constantly finding new and fun ways to update it. She is a consistent blogger as well which makes following her nice since you know there will always be something up.
There you go!! Just a few of my favorites. I hope you find sometime to curl up and take a peak at them. They are all great and you will come away encouraged and inspired. Let me know what you think!
