Oh Hey! I’m Jill!

I’m so happy you’re here!

Creating a home is a process and it’s something best done over time. Home should be a haven where we can craft the life we want. I love homes with lots of books, comfy spots to snuggle, organized spaces to work and entertain, beautiful treasures picked up along the way, and mementos from a life well lived. But the thing I love most? Home is where your life happens. Let’s make it fabulous, shall we?

I'm not a big seasonal decorator, except for Chris I'm not a big seasonal decorator, except for Christmas of course, but I do love when the seasons change in Michigan. Especially from summer to fall.The way I choose to get myself in the mood for fall rarely involves pumpkins. I'm not a pumpkin hater by any means, probably just too lazy to go to the farm stand.But this is the time that I will go picking through the fields around my business warehouse, and styling at home with all my vintage finds that make it seem like autumn.This involves a lot of dried foliage, and items that create a mood and a bit of a comfy feel. Anyone else spend more time on the couch in the fall? Or is that just me?If you're not into the pumpkin thing, you might want to check out the blog for the latest post about using what you have to decorate for fall. Hopefully you'll find a few ideas.So who decorates for fall?🙋Do you do the pumpkin thing or are you a non-traditionalist like me? I'd love to know that I'm not alone. Tell me in the comments.
Alabaster lamps...it's not a problem, right?Mayb Alabaster lamps...it's not a problem, right?Maybe an obsession would be accurate.But I love them so much. The problem started with the lamp in the second picture. This was my parents lamp. I stared at it my whole childhood and waited patiently for the time that my parents would gift it to me. My mom said, "Put your name on the bottom of it so when we're old, we will remember who wants it."I may have told all my siblings I would arm wrestle for it, if needed. Good thing they love me and graciously allowed it to be mine.But I waited a long time to get it. Meanwhile, I collected others. Then more and more, but it's not a problem right? I have many more than pictured here😂just trying to keep my obsessions more quiet. But we're friends, right? So you won't tell anyone if I need a 7-step recovery program. Cause I don't want one. Unless I get to talk about alabaster lamps some more. Then I'll go.What are you obsessed with?#alabasterlamps #vintagealabasterlamp #usefulcollections
Look what I found at the flea market a few weeks a Look what I found at the flea market a few weeks ago! Isn’t the color amazing?!💙 I’m trying to decide how I will use it? 🤔 It could become a tree skirt this holiday like the one I did last year? Or maybe add the ruffles to the edge of a tablecloth? Maybe I’ll just wear it!😂 What do you think?

Have you ever looked at a picture of something onl Have you ever looked at a picture of something online and thought "wow, that sucks"? Like this room, it's weird, not everyone's cup of tea.But guess what? This is my home office, and it's MY cup of tea. Cause I like weird stuff, and vintage. And the rest of my house is normal, but in here I can be myself and do what I want.So it's colorful, and chaotic, with a few spots of fun (maybe like me?) and that is the point.Your home can be anything you want it to be. You can make it weird, or full of color, or calm and soothing. You can mix and match, or have everything one color. But it should be YOU (and whoever you live with). And it doesn't matter if anyone else thinks it sucks.It makes me howl😂when I'm reading comments on social and someone says something like 'yuck! why would you paint a room that color?' And I'm all, 'dude, you don't live there, they do."So I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you want to paint your bedroom black, or purple, or peach, or whatever, then do it! Don't be swayed by the haters. As long as YOU love it, that's what matters. And it's just paint, you can always paint it again!If you see something you love while you're shopping, and whoever you are with is like "meh", still buy it. Surround yourself with stuff YOU LOVE!Just don't settle. Settling sucks. Make a plan, save your pennies if you need to, make the change, and live with what you love!#unapologeticdesign #makeityou #personalstyledecorating
Hello friends! I haven't been on social much this Hello friends! I haven't been on social much this summer, as there has been a ton going on. But I wanted to jump on and say HI and introduce myself a bit.I'm Jill and I love avocado.I'm a home design enthusiast who is obsessed with all things vintage.I'm a recovering shoe-aholic who would now like to buy nothing but plants.I love tacos, hydrangeas, my 10 adorable grand babies, reading, and trying new things. I've been married 40 years to the love of my life, and he still makes me laugh (and roll my eyes).When I'm not picking through an estate sale or DIYing, I'm usually traveling, playing word games on my phone (I like to multitask) or thinking about food.I'm an introverted-extrovert, organized hoarder of good stuff, and meme sender.I hope you'll stay awhile so we can get to know each other. I truly believe that your home should be a reflection of YOU and tell a bit about your life's journey. I love things, as they have meaning and deeper connections to people and memories we love.Tell me in the comments about one thing you have in your home that reveals a bit about who you are. Let's be friends!💙#livingwithvintage #personalstyledecorating #bungalow47
Everything is just about in full bloom at the cott Everything is just about in full bloom at the cottage, but when I pulled up yesterday I had a big surprise!
My hydrangea bushes have not bloomed in awhile up here, who knows why🙄, but this year they are in full bloom and the color has me swooning!💙💜🩵 #hydrangealovin #cottagegardens
Isn't it weird how age makes some things even more Isn't it weird how age makes some things even more beautiful?Wicker, wood, old glass, crazing on ironstone, I love it all! It is a story of a life well lived, time not always being kind, but beautiful nevertheless.I'm trying to capture this feeling when I look at my own self. These gray hairs, the wrinkles and laugh lines, they were earned. I've lived a beautiful life, yet not always easy. Maybe that is why I love vintage so very much.🤔Do you incorporate vintage in your decorating? Those layers of wear add character to a room. Embrace the imperfections, love the pieces and continue to give them more life. Add to their story.And be kind to your beautiful self. We deserve it. #livingwithvintage #agehasbeauty #personalstyledecorating
