IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS....THOUGHTS OF HOME ON THURSDAY


When you visit someones home,
you can instantly gain an insight as to their
interests, their personalities and their passions.
I love seeing what others love to display!
Here are some of my favorite nooks and crannies
in our home...welcome to Estelle's!


Faith...Hope....and Love...
It's the foundation for our family..
this graces our entryway
and 
will always be what binds us together.
I also display the darling's parent's
vintage wedding invitation.
I treasure this so much!


I refer to the darling's office as
"Mr. Big's office!"
We surround ourselves with family photos of very special times.
The Divine Miss M's wedding photo is framed 
where we can see our lovely daughter every day.
We had such a grand time at their wedding
which took place at The Ritz Carlton in Puerto Rico!
I made her wedding bouquet and we shipped
her gown down to the resort!
We then hurried down to the Dawn Princess
and
sailed away into the Caribbean for a week! 


My Dad's movie camera....
I can still hear the low hum of the filming
as he recorded our family vacations and celebrations!
I would not take a million dollars for this! 


Sometimes, it's the little things...
a tiny iron scottie which I purchased
right here in our beautiful historic district....
he's just a touch of whimsy!


I probably have angels in every corner....
this particular one is a favorite and is 
displayed in our family room
atop my grandparents gateleg table.


Who doesn't love their fireplace mantel?


Grandhchildren photos are in every room.....
ever so precious.....


The Master Bedroom....
touches of romance....


The Master Bedroom...
my mother's vintage cherub was always on
the sideboard in our dining room growing up...
she now graces my Mother-in-law's
antique dresser.


Our Butler's Pantry...
one of my favorite spaces in the house....


The beautiful mirror 
belonged to my parents...
heirlooms honor your family's history...
My motto is...
Surround Yourself with the Things
that Matter Most....
Thank you for stopping by Estelle's today!

THOUGHTS OF HOME....THE GIFTS OF SPRING


Happiness and contentment come naturally in Spring....
What brings you a smile each day?
For me...it's my pair of Mourning Dove that coo for me to fill the birdfeeders...


It's when I walk outside on a bright spring day
and
our pear tree is bursting into bloom.....


Pulling everything together in one place
in order to create a pretty little vignette....


Spring certainly tells us a story of rebirth....
and provides us such a sense of peace.


 I look forward to creating a beautiful space outdoors...
seeing green and all the pots filled with color.
We love sitting and watching and listening to the birds..
the sweet sounds of nature.


And those beautiful warm days when we can be lazy
and grill out well into the evening...
these are my thoughts of home today.
