Your styling and photography are just beautiful, Jen! I love seeing your gorgeous home. So much great inspiration!
ReplyDeletexo, Andrea
I want to say thank you! See I love you home and the fact that it is not huge!!! See we moved from Alaska to Indiana about a year ago. Yeah we are talking the big move from a 1850 square foot home that we heated with a woodstove on 10 acres where we grew some of our own food and picked berries which grew wild on our property to 1200 square feet on just under a 1/2 acre surrounded by an organic farm. (which was a blessing in itself as I HATE chemicals!!) But the house has been a challenge as we are a family of 5 who were feeling cramped... but now I have hope when I look at your lovely home. It is calm and serene and inviting! Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Your home is gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your kitchen, every square inch of it!
Love that green bench in your entry too!
Hugs!
Your home is beautiful! I like that you have some natural wood pieces of furniture, not everything is painted. I like painted furniture very much but a room full of it tends to be a bit much. I am your newest follower.
ReplyDeleteEmily
Love the mix of dark woods and white - can you share where you picked up your chairs in the kitchen?
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer your home is stunning!! I enjoyed taking the tour so much! Martina
ReplyDeletein love with your home! where did you get you dining chairs in the nook? they look like they might be new, but not sure. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Jen, You know already how much I love your kitchen! Your home is so beautiful and I enjoyed seeing more.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sherry
Your home is Gorgeous with a capital G! I love the touches of silver everywhere! I have silver in my dining room, but you have inspired me to let it free in other areas of my home! That tray that is above your stove looks like it has feet, if so how did you hang it? I have one similar that I wanted to hang, but wasnt sure how to pull it off. Thanks for sharing your home, providing some great eye candy, and giving me tons of ideas!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I particularly loved the use of silver in the kitchen and you have some lovely mirrors which I do have a weakness for.
ReplyDeleteHow very perfect!
ReplyDeleteJust stunning! I love the chandy and your I live in your bedroom forever... so calming and peaceful!
ReplyDeleteYour home is so pretty, congrats on the CL spread!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful house! I also live in the NW burbs of Chicago. I don't have blog but would like to some day (along with a hosue of my own. hence no blog.) I love your decorating style! you have a new follower!!
ReplyDeleteYour home is beautiful! Thank you for sharing! I would love to hear how you mounted the curtain to your pantry if you wouldn't mind!!
ReplyDeleteIf I wasn't already a loyal follower, I would be adding your blog to my list! Such a beautiful home and what I love the most is I can incorporate so many of your ideas in my own home. Thanks Jen!
ReplyDeleteWowzers! I LOVE your kitchen {{Well the whole house...but the kitchen is my fave!!}} I think I stumbled 'accidently' on your blog a few months ago, but apparently I didn't follow it..now I did! Thank you for posting such beautiful pictures!

ReplyDeleteI really should not blog when I am over tired!! lol !
Every single space is so beautiful, Jennifer! I used to think your kitchen was my favorite and I think it still is but I truly love all of your other rooms as well! LOVE that clock and blueish chest at the bottom of the stairs! Can't wait to see your home in print!
ReplyDeleteYour home is so beautiful and I really luv your kitchen. Thanx for sharing

ReplyDeleteI add my thanks to you for sharing your beautiful home with us!
ReplyDeleteOf course I love it. You have decorated with a lot of the same things that I have chosen for our home ~ white milk glass, blue, green, & loads of white colors. I just purchased that same fabric you have in your bedroom.

I love everything about your darling home, Jen!
ReplyDeleteYour home is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteyou've transported me right to your doorstep!
ReplyDeleteJennifer:
ReplyDeleteYour home is just delightful. I love all your great accents and attention to details.
My favorite room has to be that absolutely wonderful kitchen of yours. I love the island with the wood top. Everything has an elegant touch, but at the same time it is warm and welcoming.
So nice to visit your home,
Cori

Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour home is beautiful! I am especially in love with our kitchen. So cozy looking. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteJennifer,
ReplyDeleteI am in LOVE with your kitchen, well actually the whole house! I am so stealing/borrowing that silver platter over the stove idea. I love the juxtaposition of the shabby white & chippy paint with the shiny silver. Great job! Lisa
jen your house is beautiful! i love your breakfast nook it's perfect! LOVE the mirror in there too so pretty!! thanks for sharing it with us! susan
ReplyDeleteSO lovely...should be in Country Living :) love it all Jen!! x0
ReplyDeleteOh Jen. I don't know where to begin girl!!!! Everything...I mean absolutely everything is so beautiful!!! What an amazing transformation you have given your home this last year ~ it looks like a truly peaceful haven to me....thank you so much for all of the photos, IT'S GORGEOUS!!! hugs and love, Dawn
ReplyDeleteLOVE your home and reading about your makeovers. Your kitchen is stunning - I love the green apples and the chandelier - beautiful. Thanks for the tour!
ReplyDeleteEvery room is just beautiful. If you were my friend I'd be at your house every morning for coffee just to take it all in ;)
ReplyDeleteI was wondering what color butch block you went with for your countertops. IKEA has three choices I think and I am feeling like their colors on the web may not be true to shade in person. I think the warm tone of your is just right.
Also, did you do nothing other than oil them? I have heard people talking about waterlox....
Thanks for your help! -Sarah
Beautiful home, especially love your kitchen. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is positively awesome. I'm especially intrigued with your wood counter tops. Are they butcher block or ??? They definitely look warm and rich.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a beautiful and cozy home. The kitchen was fine, and it's lovelier after it has been redone.

Lovely greetings...
Hi Jenn!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
I love your kitchen nook and love your cabinets that reach to the ceiling. So English! Your creamy dreamy whites mixed with the warm earthy wooden tones are gorgeous.
We will have to plan a house tour with each others' homes one day!
Would love to see yours in person.
You are so clever and creative!
Beautiful tour,
thanks for sharing.

Hello! I absolutely adore the pendant lighting over your kitchen sink. I am looking for one just like that... where did you find it? Is it antique?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful house! Where did you get the light pendant above the kitchen sink? Please email me at jes89sts@gmail.com
