Pinterest Board Spotlight: Prep School

I like Tretorns:


I like Madras:


 and Seersucker:


and I believe that pink, green and navy are wardrobe and decorating staples.


I like shingled homes with crisp white trim:


and monograms, on everything.


I grew up in New England where there is a certain understanding of all things PREPPY.
My friend Neil, totally gets it. Although she isn't from New England, she has the preppy aesthetic in her blood. So Neil has inspired me to create a new Pinterest Board devoted to embracing the Preppy look in clothing, decor, products, lifestyle. It's a look, it's a way of life. You get it or you don't. Think Martha's Vineyard. Think Southern Prep like Lilly Pulitzer. Think Traditional with colorful flair...that's Preppy and that's what I'll be pinning onto my PREP SCHOOL BOARD this summer!
Come follow me and mention me in your Preppy Pins and I'll pin your selections onto the Prep School Board.
XXXOOO!

Freebie Friday: Free Garden Planner

I'm so excited to share these free gardening printables from One Creative Mommy.
Have you ever wondered about which plants would do well together in the same bed? It really does matter which are compatible when it comes to watering, sun exposure, ect. so that your garden will be happy and productive.

And I just LOVE this potting advice from Dwell on Joy
For the perfect pot arrangement you need a thriller, a filler (or two) and a spiller.

Happy Planting!
XXXOOO.

Word Wednesday: the most important things in life

Usually, Wednesdays are "Wordless Wednesdays" at Commona-my House. But today, even though the sun is shining here in Oklahoma, I'm still heavy- hearted thinking about how in the blink of an eye, your life can change. Today's "Wordless Wednesday" has words. And they are so meaningful to me. Even though I blog about design/decor and all things "home"... It is important to always remember that the foundation of your home and your life shouldn't revolve around things.

 

My thoughts and prayers are with the families who have lost.
XXXOOO.
