I began our tour of Rachel Ashwell’s Shabby Chic B&B, The Prairie in a recent post, click here, and now let’s continue the tour. Most of these photos were taken in “The Big House” as Lisa calls it. Lisa, along with Danny, run The Prairie. This is such a fun desk and chair. As you enter the B&B, you will see […]
Lavender Summer Table
Thank you for all of the sweet comments for my family as we mourn the loss of my mother-in-law. It means so much to me to hear from you, and your expressions of sympathy are much appreciated. Even Mr. CH who never enters the blogisphere was touched. (I read your comments to him. Heaven forbid that […]
Texas Farm House Chic
Today we are touring Lovely Leslie’s Texas farm house. Hopefully you already saw the post (click here) on her darling private chapel. Not only is there a chapel on her farm, but also a wonderful gazebo, a barn, and this fabulous home. Leslie has an interesting story about the gazebo. Dan also built the gazebo… […]

Garden Party
My back porch is really my most favorite place to entertain guests. I thought a garden theme would be very nice. I purchased some new terracotta clay pots and painted them with the Annie Sloan Old White paint. The tablecloth is a drop cloth purchased from Lowes. I love using these drop cloths, since they are […]
