GUEST POST FROM PINKY!




Today, I asked my good friend Pinky, from DESIGNS BY PINKY to come by and show us her lovely home.

Pinky and I met through blogging and have become very good friends in real life!!! She lives about an hour from me and we get together often.


Pinky has a wonderful sense of style and her home is a beauty!!!!

Thanks for sharing with us today...










 HI my friends! I had asked my Joe to please make me wooden valances for the living room so he DID! They are just what I wanted to finish off the blinds. I also asked him to make them with a top board so I could sit things up there if I wanted to. When I got home today, they were all done and UP! So, I got busy decorating them. I don't have as much display space in this house and wanted to have some of these things out to enjoy. It was a little cloudy by the time I took the pics so I turned the lamps on for ya!


























 I also put this arrangement on the coffee table for Spring. The white one that I made a couple of weeks ago is now on the dining room table. I get antsy looking at the same things in the same place:)


















 TONS of  flowers in this arrangement. Hydrangeas, gerber daisies,berries and BEAUTIFUL ruffled tulips.





































 This is the footed container.
















Thanks, Pinky! I love your home!!!

Please visit PINKY and show her some blogging love!!!!

    It's so much fun to tour homes! Love the brilliant colors in the florals repeated in the pillows, a happy yet elegant room!

    Yvonne & Pinky;
    It is wonderful to see how 2 people meet and just "click" into a friendship. Funny how God uses us in many ways and puts people in our lives for reasons. You ladies seem like you guys have it together. Cherish that, and meanwhile, keep decorating and sharing.. I love both of your pages. You both have wonderful talent. :)
    Many blessings,
    Leslie B.

    I love floral design, so I so enjoyed the arrangement on the coffee table. The tulips add such a great pop of color and interest! Pinky-it was a great idea to add the extra display area above the windows...he did a beautiful job making them. Thanks for letting us into your home!
