Our Southern Style Mississippi Home

Hello friends and thanks for the well wishes on this next segment of life!  Over the next few months I'll be sharing Summer recipes (with a Southern spin) and Homemaking tips as our journey in the South continues.

Sadie and I loaded up our Florida lives and arrived in Mississippi last Thursday around 4:00 p.m. Sadie and I were both happy to see the hubby and he was happy to see us too. Sadie jumped out of the vehicle and I crawled out ( I was stiff from 6 + hours of driving😂) Seriously though, at this stage of life I am just not going to take myself or life too serious. I am embracing change, it keeps me on my toes.  I am here and by golly I am going to make the most of it, I really just don't have the time to get old.

I am just going to share a few photos today. We really do love our new Southern Style home and I love the Kitchen most of all. Perhaps Dave does too, because he has been waiting for some cooking and baking from this gal. He has eaten a heap of pot pies while I was in Florida. He has been overseeing the building of our home here in Mississippi. I am going to deliver too-I have a hankering to do some cooking and baking and it's all going to start with a Coconut Cake!

As we all pretty much know styles come and go. So I am pretty tickled that brushed gold and champagne gold are back in style, while gold is not for everyone it is for me and I am happy to see it has returned. I love gold paired with white and gray paint too. You know that old saying- if you wait long enough everything comes back in style. So it is with Gold. One could say we are ushering in a New Golden Age of Home Décor!

(Pine floors pre-sanding, staining, and varnishing)

These are heart of pine floors. I am loving them, but I know they are a softer wood than Oak so I am just gonna have to deal with scratches and dents.  But hopefully there won't be any for a few weeks!😏

With all of the new choices for fun floors I just had to add this tile to our Laundry room and powder bath. It is neutral enough to fit in with our décor.

You know what I am going to be doing right here on this Front porch don't you?

Yes indeed there is going to be some porch sitting, while I ponder what I am going to be making for supper, baking for dessert and of course, when are those seeds that I planted going to turn into blooms.

Thanks for joining me friends and I am wishing you a heap of happy Homemaking wherever you live!
