Happy Friday, my friends! I’m always happy when the weekend rolls around, because it means Mark will be home and I get to see more of him which is always fun. Our bathroom project starts next week, so that’s going to be a busy week getting things done around here.
We decided to gut the entire bathroom ourselves and most of it is already gutted, but Mark is going to remove the old one piece bathtub this weekend. I’ll be sharing progress on it all soon as well. It will be awhile before the whole thing gets finished and I’ve ordered those wallpaper samples to check out, so I’m pretty sure that will happen too once the bathroom is complete.
Today’s Feature Friday is a blog I’ve just found, Tonya with Rustic and Woven. She’s a newly single girl living outside Chicago with her rescue dog and she lives in a historic Dutch Colonial built in 1939. She loves old houses, mixing old with new and doesn’t follow trends, but instead embraces classic and timeless appeal, a girl after my own heart. I think you’ll love her cute and quaint home. She says she has no DIY skills, so it’s going to take her awhile to get things done, but I think her home is as cute as can be and I love how welcoming and homey it feels, with the wood tones and her pretty furnishings.
Isn’t this a cute home?
There’s her rescue pup, Alice, what a sweet girl.
I love the newel post and the gorgeous hardwood floors in Tonya’s home.
Such a pretty shot into the dining room with that curved doorway and those floors. In love with those floors!
Peeking into the dining room.
She definitely has a nice vibe going on with all neutrals.
Another variation of her winter dining room.
To the right is the living room with a gorgeous fireplace.
Card cabinet inside the door.
This looks like a great place to hunker down for the winter and enjoy the cozy fire and a good book.
So welcoming and peaceful.
Doesn’t it feel so homey?
One little peek at her kitchen. She hasn’t touched it yet, but hopes to update it in the future.
Home office looking so cozy and cute.

And the guest room.
I hope you enjoyed this tour of Tonya’s home as much as I did. I love to see how everyone decorates their homes and it’s so fun to take tours of so many different styles. I can appreciate them all and it’s inspirational to see so many ways to put homes together. The feeling evoked is always welcoming and cozy! Stop by Rustic and Woven and meet Tonya!

So cute and cozy. I could just imagine curling up on that sofa with her sweet pup Alice.
The kitchen sink brought back so many memories of my grandparents kitchen in Dalton, Ga.
Thanks for sharing!

Love that kitchen. It would be fun to keep that sink.
Stacey says
Love it! I really like the light walls with dark accents in the rooms. All the wood is perfect for the home too. Great feature. 🙂

Hello Alice, aren’t you a beautiful girl! What an inviting home, especially with the sunlight pouring in. Love the floors and that card catalog. I’m with everybody else, keep the kitchen sink…it’s fantastic.
Rhoda, good luck with the upcoming renovation. We can’t wait to see it. Happy Weekend!
Angela says
Hi Alice, your home is so welcoming and warm and your floors I absolute love, they look just like mine. Love your style and yes you must keep that vintage sink.
Lynne says
This is such a beautiful and serene home. Alice has done a great job in decorating it.
Rhoda says
Thanks, Lynne, Alice is actually the dog and Tonya is the homeowner.

There is a lot to like about this sweet home; and like everyone else, it would be a travesty to lose the porcelain one piece sink – but of course I’m old and sentimental. I know it isn’t exactly conducive to usable counter space and in a smaller space I’m guessing a good flat surface would be preferred. But still…. 🙂
Rhoda says
I have a feeling she will keep that sink, she seems to love vintage things and that is a keeper.
Clearissa Coward says
So cozy and cute. I got lots of ideas for my small space from your wonderful home. I love the neutral colors too.

When I found her on Instagram a while back I remember thinking that her style was so soft and classic. The reason I started following in the first place. Thanks for sharing her home with us.
VirginiaGeorgia says
For sure keep that absolutely fabulous sink! Love the floors and the feel of the entire house; so very inviting!
Sue says
Happy Friday Rhoda, love this darling house. The floors,vintage kitchen sink, and Tonya’s office are my favorites. Alice is a sweetheart. Going to Tonya’s blog to leave a comment. I’ll tell her that you sent me. Haha

Esther says
Love,love the sink!! The whole home is beautiful!
Rebekah Purnel says
WOW! I have a dream to make my house a unique one! Yours is exactly what I was dreamed! Going to follow all of your ideas!!! Wish me a good luck Rhoda!!! 🙂
Melesa Garrison says
Even if she doesn’t keep the sink for her kitchen, it would be cool in a laundry room or something. Love it! Her house is so nice and comfortable looking. Alice is adorable!
