Sometimes a girl needs a break...
During the last week
I have stepped back from the computer
I have stepped back from the computer
not completely,
but enough to rest and to regain some balance.
but enough to rest and to regain some balance.
I have been digging in the dirt,
watching my girl golf,
working on my porch
and
just enjoying the sunshine.
just enjoying the sunshine.
This week to continue with my break,
I am going to pull out some previous Mother's Day posts
In honor of Mother's Day
I'm going to show you my mother's house.
we do love
our shabby WHITE
and our roses
I have lived near my mother
for all of my married life
We have spent many hours together
shopping for treasures
and
discussing decorating trends and ideas.
She is my friend, my companion, my mother.

I enjoyed this post so much. I love your Mothers house! She has an eye for how to put things together that is for sure. My daughter and I are close like you and your Mom and also decorate the same. It is so fun to have a relative to share it all with, isn't it?! Happy Mothers day to you and enjoy your "little but" of a blogging break!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!!~ I can see where you get your fabulous style from!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a lovely night!
Sincerely,
Melinda
What a beautiful tribute to your mother. Her rooms are charming and inviting.

Your mother's house is amazing! And what a sweet tribute your post is to her. I hope she has a wonderful Mother's Day. ~Marti
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I have lived just down the street from my mother my whole married life (32 years) as well. My parents live in a lovely 108 year old victorian home. Such a blessing to have them close by.
ReplyDeleteYour Mother's home is lovely. Enjoy your respite.
ReplyDeleteHer home is lovely, so serene, I love it! I hope you both have a Happy Mother's Day! Love your blog:)
ReplyDeleteI think it's wonderful that you and your mother have the same taste in decor and get to spend a lot of time together. My mother has been gone almost 19 years and I now have the same taste she did as I inherited some of her furnishings and china. :) When I look at my tall china cupboard I think of her. You are blessed to have your mum with you still. Treasure your time together. Pamela
ReplyDeleteI love your home and your mother's house! The white is pretty, yet so serene and peaceful!
ReplyDeleteRene, it looks like you come by your beautiful decorating style naturally. How very blessed you are to have your mother so close by.
ReplyDeleteI love your mother's house. Please tell her how gorgeous I think it is.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! Her sweet home deserves to be in a magazine. That big chandy is just stunning! Love it all!!

A lovely post in honor of Mother's Day. Your mother's house is difinitely not "Granny" style! You've obviously inherited her flair for decorating.
ReplyDeleteYour Mother has a beautiful home! Like Mother, like daughter I see! So nice that you live so close to your Mom and hunt for treasures together! I envy that! I live 1000 miles away from my Mom, she's in Canada, I'm in Utah, and whenever she comes down here that's what we do...go on the hunt! We have fabulous times together! (*_*) xo
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Her home is beautiful. I really love the fireplace with the dark brick or is it stone...
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Amy Jo
How cool is she?!
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful home.
Wonderful to be so close together...I'm guessing she is on the young side!
What a sweet & beautiful post, Your Mom's home is lovely & the fact that you are so close to your Mom (not only in distance) is wonderful... EnJoy each & every moment!

I'd love to come have tea in your beautiful house. So cozy. I recently moved away from my mother for the first time in my life. She's 5 hours away. Just far enough to be, well, "not close". I understand the bond.♥
ReplyDeleteLinsey
What a beautiful home your Mom has! It looks so comfy and inviting! The whites are just so serene, too! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had photos of my Mom's old house. Her new house I'm sure is much more grand...and the company second to none...but when she was still here with us, her home was so lovely. And she was an upcycler that reduced, recycled, and reused long before it was fashionable!
I love reading about other women and their Moms...it just warms my heart, and brings back such fond memories.
Blessings, Rene,
Becky
Your Mama's home is as beautiful as your girl..Thank your Mama for sharing all this great eye candy with us..May you have the BEST Mother's day ever my dear friend..Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
ReplyDeleteHer home is lovely...how wonderful to share interests! Like mother, like daughter...
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your mom's house. I am ready to move right in. How wonderful that you all have such a close relationship. Happy Mother's Day to both of you.
ReplyDeleteLaura
What an incredibly blessed woman you are to have that kind of relationship with your Mother.
ReplyDeleteand what a charming home she has,

Happy Mother's day to you and your Mom.

What a beautiful post showcasing your amazing Mother's home and what a wonderful tribute to your sweet mother.
ReplyDeleteYou are very lucky that you and your Mom love the same things and have so much in common.
My Mom did not care for anything old and likes everything brand new. I even questioned at times if I was really her daughter! LOL!
She passed away 8 years ago but i still do miss her and always will. Enjoy your Mom while you still have her with you...
Hugs,
Deb
