I’m excited to feature one of the sweetest bloggers out there today! Meet Stacey with Poofing the Pillows, who’s been blogging for several years and I know she is probably one of my longest readers and has left me the kindest comments on my blog over the years. She’s just a doll and I finally got to meet her in person at Haven and if I had the chance, I’d love to hang out with her, I know we’d have fun.
Stacey is from TX and she and her husband built their dream house in the last year or so. They moved in last summer and she’s still getting settled in, but wow is it pretty!
A brick TX house, stately with a mix of brick and stone.
I love Stacey’s front door and notice it’s black on the outside and take a look at the inside.
That luscious shade of aqua blue inside the house gives an clue of the accent color that Stacey uses throughout her open floor plan home.
Soothing shades of cream and aqua blue are easy on the eyes and how about that kitchen?
It’s absolutely gorgeous!
Built in bookcases on either side of the fireplace.
Another peek at that aqua door.
The living room flows into the kitchen and dining spaces.
Stacey has great taste and has added lots of pretty things to her new home.
The dining room is open as well.
Open shelves in the kitchen give Stacey a chance to add and change accessories around.
Another view of the kitchen and dining area.
And a peek at that gorgeous planked barrel ceiling, it’s a stunning feature.
And the beautiful marble backsplash is so gorgeous.
I love all the features in Stacey’s new house, she did a great job with everything.
The island is painted a pretty shade of aqua as well.
Spring on the breakfast table.
Isn’t that so pretty and really makes me ready for spring! I’ve been getting ready for spring at my house too and will be sharing lots of that next week.
It was so fun to feature Stacey and her new home! I hope you go over and say hello to Stacey and get to know her sweet heart, she is such a wonderful friend in blogland at Poofing the Pillows!

Rhoda, thank you for sharing Stacey’s beautiful forever home! I have been smitten with the aqua island ever since I first saw it. She is such a sweet blogging friend. Happy Friday!

Kelly says
Very pretty! That china in the last photo looks like it might be vintage. Love the aqua and pink.
Stacey @ Poofing the Pillows says
Kelly, the china is vintage from the 50s or 60s. The back of it says Limoge France but I’ve never been able to find more of it. It belonged to my husband’s grandmother. We love it! 🙂
Andrea Nine says
Stacey is such a gem with a sweet eye for decorating. Love her new home.
Stacey @ Poofing the Pillows says
You are a gem yourself, Andrea!! You always have a kind word. 😉

Rhoda,
Stacey is one of the most encouraging people I have ever met, and being a retired educator I have met and worked with thousands of people as colleagues in a large urban Texas school district. She was one of the very first people who commented when I first began my blog. She wrote encouraging words and continues to leave more encouraging words now over five years later. I have had the good fortune to meet her in person at Texas blogger gatherings and found her to be as kind, encouraging, and delightful in person. Her new forever home is gorgeous filled with as much charm as she possesses.

Stacey @ Poofing the Pillows says
Judith, you are so nice to say this. You know I’m an old teacher too. 🙂
I have to leave comments at your blog because talent just oozes from everything you do!
Nancy says
Oh my, I could look at that aqua door for a long time. And the black front is So perfect. I think I would have to imagine excuses to go in and out that door very often to admire both sides. Maybe the mail came. Maybe the plants need watering.. some sweeping.. anything.
Stacey @ Poofing the Pillows says
Nancy, your comment made me smile. I’m going in and out that door right now to stare at the spring bulbs that are popping out of the ground! 🙂
Jane says
Stacey’s beautiful home is a breath of fresh air! I just love her gorgeous kitchen and pops of blue! Thank you so much for sharing her lovely home with us!
Stacey @ Poofing the Pillows says
Jane, thank you!! 🙂
Kitty says
I loved seeing Stacey’s beautiful home, with all her aqua touches, and special accessories. Her taste is just so perfect and her lighting fixtures are stunning. Thank you for featuring Stacey.
Stacey @ Poofing the Pillows says
Kitty, thanks so much! I do love the light fixtures and spent many hours picking them out. I’m happy with the way it all came together. 🙂
Jann Olson says
I agree, Stacey is one of the sweetest bloggers I know! Her new home is gorgeous, and I love how open it is. That ceiling definitely made me drool the first time I saw it. Love the open shelving and her aqua door too!
hugs,
Jann
Stacey @ Poofing the Pillows says
Jann, I’m just bummed that you didn’t come through Rockwall when you came to Texas! Maybe next time. We can have cake and a cold drink in the kitchen. 🙂
Jane says
Absolutely love Stacey’s new home. Her exuberance while it was being build had even me rooting for it to be done asap!
I, too, love her accents of aqua. Just the perfect touch. I would die for that kitchen and farmhouse drop sink!
All the best, Rhoda. I didn’t know you got married and I am so, so happy for you!
Stacey @ Poofing the Pillows says
Thank you Jane!! 🙂
Rhoda says
Hi, Jane, thank you so much! It’s been an exciting year for me!
