Hello, all you gorgeous, blessed, frugal, creative, charitable,
expressive, thoughtful, whimsical, intelligent, funny, and charming homemakers!
Today I wanted to take you all with me over
to Kathysue's home in California!
She is my new friend, and I want to introduce you to her!
(Let's all pile in my Honda CR-V.
Sorry if some of you are hanging out of the car!
I'll drive fast so we don't get caught by a State Trooper!)
Kathysue lives in a darling yellow house in a suburb in California.
(Did one of you remember the map? Chocolate?)
She loves color and has amazing skills creating tablescapes and vignettes!
(Someone has their foot in my ear! Move it!)
As she makes her home, she always enjoys the process.
She loves the Lord and honors Him with her talent!
She is so knowledgeable and full of ideas and inspiration!
Can't wait till you meet her!
Kathysue, we're here!
Let us in!
The Powder Room is MINE first!!
We drove all the way here so you could see her
Easter and Spring Tablescapes
Don't you love this all-white theme?
Fresh spring green grass, real gerbera daisies,
white roses, and sweet, little porcelain birds.
This is her whimsical forest scene.
She wanted the bunny to look like a huge chocolate bunny.
She also used little chicks, mushrooms, and clay pots full of chocolate eggs.
She used things from her garden: rocks, moss and real flowers.
This yellow and blue setting is all about Daisies, Daffodils, and Eggs!
She found these egg holders at Anthropologie,
and the inspiration for the tablescape began.
See! I told you she was creative!
Other spaces in her home.
Thank you, Kathysue for letting us parade through your lovely and loving home.
Thanks for the tea and cookies, too!
(We pray you have a wonderful and joyful Easter!)

Thanks for the road trip, Leslie. I'm a bit crampy because Suzanne up there was sitting on my leg.
ReplyDeleteI love her house and now need to make a return trip. Those yellow egg inspirations were my favorite part. I might be able to do a faux version.
Kathysue has an awesome style and home..thanks for sharing Leslie!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, that was a fun trip, Leslie. Thanks to Kathysue for the house tour, too. I loved her bathroom, especially----very Victorian looking. And did you see those BASS faucets.....my fave....and brass matching lamps! Yeah! They say that brass is obsolete but I LOVE it and will never replace all the brass around here.
ReplyDeleteShe has a beautiful home and a lovely decorating style. Gosh, Leslie, that was a super trip. Thanks again. Susan

Leslie, you are just too creative! How do you think of these things?
ReplyDeleteLoved the trip and the home tour! Lovely.
Oh, I forgot! I call shotgun on the way home!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely home! I love the yellow and blue table. The grassy eggs in the egg holders are just too cute!!!! Thanks for sharing, Leslie! <3 Paula
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you, Kathysue! What a charming home she has, so beautiful! Thank you for sharing Leslie, just love everything!
ReplyDeleteThose grassy eggs took me down memory lane. A science class in early homeschool days. Loved how she used them on her table, never would have thought of that.
What a fun road-trip, Leslie, but could have used a few more potty stops -- aging bladder, you know. Well, maybe you don't know yet, but you will. Anyhoo, adorable home. I loved everything about it, & Kathysue was so nice to invite us all in. Let's do it again, sometime!
