In my 5 years of blogging, early on there were a few home bloggers out there and Jennifer is one of the girls that I met that first year or two.  I love her style and her friendly manner and I’ve loved watching her home evolve over the  past few years, to a home of warmth, family, and casual comfort.

She has a really easy-going cottage style that I know you’ll love!

Jen has a beautiful cottage style and I love how she puts things together.  This shot looks straight out of a magazine. Just lovely!

Jen has a knack for putting old and new together effortlessly and loves using vintage finds.

Jennifer and her hubby had a misfortune in their kitchen (pipe burst) and had to completely redo it, but Jennifer ended up getting the kitchen she had always longed for.  Check out this post for all the details.

They replaced the old flooring and subfloor, as well as the base cabinet.  Keeping the uppers, everything was painted the same.  And now look at it!

It’s a stunning cottage kitchen now.  I’m such a sucker for white cabinets!

Wood counters from Ikea.

A free standing buffet saved money on buying more cabinets.  Love the idea of a free-standing piece if you have room for it.

The master bedroom is equally soothing and pretty.

Another beautiful shot of the nightstand and soft colors.

Her daughter’s room is really pretty too with the white framed gallery wall.

Jennifer is a major thrifty shopper too and painted yardsale frames white and made the butterflies.

Another daughter gets a pretty makeover in aqua and red.

With a nice storage solution in the corner. Great way to store books.

    Thank you for sharing Jennifer’s home, I think she is one creative person. Although I do not have my own blog, I have been following Jennifer’s and your blog for about three years now. I am so inspired by you both. Thank you both for your creativity.

    Just wondering where she may have found these curtains in the top picture in her living room? What a beautiful home.
