Welcome To Home Style Saturday #404
Summer and hunderstorms go hand in hand in our area. They can be impressive. And I love them! Bring on the lightning and thunder and torrents of rain and sometimes hail. I think this odd love of thunderstorms goes back to a strong childhood memory of sitting in a rocking chair on my Nani’s front porch during a thunderstorm and getting a short repreive from the heat. And, oh, I loved to watching nature’s magnificient show from my front row seat!
Summer’s are made for memories. No matter how wonderful or odd! I hope that as you peruse all of the ideas in HSS this week, they will inspire you to make the most of summer, every single day, and make memories!

A Visit With Plaid And Poppy
Rhoda says…
Today’s Feature Friday is another gal I met on Instagram, Tracy from Plaids and Poppies. She’s a wife and mom of grown children and also a grandmother. She totally doesn’t look like a grandmother. Her home is just so pretty and I think you’re going to love it! What caught my eye on Instagram was how colorful her home is and her pics just draw you right in.

Happy Weekend, Friends!




I know that it”s an older posting but I LOVED seeing the home that Rhoda featured. It is impeccably decorated, but sooo fun! And what a gorgeous location and yard!! I’m not a big COLOR fan in decorating, but that home is stunningly vibrant and homey!
