Yesterday evening Monica hosted a Premier Designs Jewelry party. I thought this would be a great time to take a few photos of her cutecutecute home...
Monica has her home ready for fall...
Everything is always so neat and festive!!
That's Monica on the phone. I bet she's volunteering to do something...you should see her calendar, there's not an empty space on it.
I love Monica kitchen window...
She loves her family...
Look how much is on that window ledge?
Too Cute!!

The roofing trim was brilliantly done. It's simple, and yet clean. From the outside, the house looks cool because of this. I was stunned by the chocolate chip cake. It made me remember the pains of my diet. Nonetheless, I like the indoor plants.

spired me . Thanks.

OHMYGOSH..... I know Monica is your BEST friend but I had no idea what kindred spirits you are..... You two need to start a consulting business and show others how to have such style..... or maybe professional shoppers.... oh yes.... I think you would be a a very marketable team.... what a pair of talented friends..

Who is Monica? Is she your sister? Her house is beautiful just like yours Tina but I can not figure out if she is your sister or a good friend. Thanks so much for sharing the beautiful pics of both of your homes. I am trying to mimic everything you do....already have the beautiful red and white quilt at the foot of my bed like yours Tina. For those who dont know the quilt is from JCpenneys. Have a wonderful Blessed weekend everybody!!

Such a cute home. I just love all your pics. I recently found an apothecary jar like the one you have in one of your pictures! I was so excited! I filled it with fall gourds. I hope you can tell me what you think. Check it out at

Oh I Love It~ Everything is Great, but really envy the little island table with the small dresser with drawers... who would have thought to stick plates in it like that~ So Creative!
Everything looks so Inviting, just want to sit & have a cup of tea.... gave me some ideas for my Blaaahhh Kitchen!

Posted by: Tracy | October 23, 2009 at 11:19 AM
Her house is so cute and it reminds me of yours, you two must shop/decorate together. I have a question that I've been wondering and since someone else asked in another comment above, did you take the pic's of your sisters house off of your blog or am I just not seeing them somewhere?? I love to look at your house and hers occasionally for inspiration.
Hugs~Kelly

Adorable! You have a lot in common. :)
Tina I was wondering, is there a way to look back at old posts on your blog? I haven't been able to figure that out. I enjoy the Flikr pictures but would love to see the actual posts themselves.
You inspire me daily!
