I’m back today with another Feature Friday sharing a blogger’s home.  Meet Julie with Less than Perfect Life of Bliss. She’s been blogging for about 7 years or so and I’m just getting to know her.  I saw her beautiful home and wanted to share it with all of you, so come along for a tour of Julie’s Tennessee home.   She loves decorating and DIY projects and believes in doing things on a budget, but you’d never know it looking at her home.  She’s a wife and mama to 4 kids, so you know she’s a busy lady.

Her pretty rock and brick home looks very inviting and welcoming.

I just love Julie’s warm and inviting style and knew you would too.  It’s a big home, but she has done a wonderful job making it all flow together and I love seeing real life homes and how they are decorated.   Stop by Less than Perfect Life of Bliss and meet Julie, she’s a sweet lady!

    Another beautiful feature Rhoda! I love her gallery wall in the entrance! So cool the way she has images of front doors in gilded frames. I also adore her screened in porch and the kitchen is amazing.

    Beautiful!! I use that same laurel in containers in my home – love the fresh scent! I think that plant is considered to be a native in the Southeast. I have back porch envy, now, btw!
