Postcards from the Ridge

RIP to the legendary Dolly Parton. She was a big personality and huge light here in East Tennessee and will be missed by many. She came from nothing but never forgot her roots. Millions of children developed a love for reading through her Imagination Library project. We should all strive to be more like her and have a kind and giving heart.

My most recent mood board makes me wish it was already fall. Love the mix of colors and the washable area rug. ❤️

How do you feel about dark teal? It coordinates with so many colors. (Link to sources is in the comments.)

Spent the day in some beautiful spots in East Tennessee. A dreamy u-pick lavender farm Midfield Lavender Farm where we tasted lavender lemonade and wandered through the fields.
And then a hike at Carver's Gap with a breathtaking view at the top. Swipe to the last frame for a 360° view that's amazing. 😍

I've been working on a mini makeover in our living room for a couple of weeks. This room has a challenging layout and gives me fits when I try to arrange furniture.
I think I finally have most of the room set up in a way I really like. But I still have a lot of things to relocate from in here.
Scroll to the end to see a video including the chaotic side of the room. 😱🤪😂
Let me know what you think so far. It's subject to change again.

Drastic changes aren't always needed to make a space look and feel better.
The rug, paint, blinds, and curtains didn't change but several other items in our living room did.
I relocated some vintage furniture pieces, made a gallery wall with my favorite thrifted and vintage art, and replaced our too-small sofa and cat-clawed chair with new furniture gifted from .
Their snugg sofa and chairs are the perfect fit for this wide, shallow room that has always been challenging for me. Not too big, not too small, and very comfortable.
And they're currently offering 40% off site wide.
This refresh was just what was needed in here.
What's your favorite change?
Comment "refresh" if you want me to send you shopping resources or as close as I can find to match the vintage look.

A look back at how I've added patriotic touches to the house throughout the years with mostly vintage finds.
Plus a free watercolor printable that I made from one of my images.

March recap. A couple of trips, some beautiful spring flowers, and time to reset and recharge. Thankful.
