Simply Home

My latest book Simply Home is actually TWO of my original BOOKS in one! These two were popular paperback books, Simple Organizing and Simple Decorating, and they are now combined into this hardback version called Simply Home.

Use the organization tips to declutter, optimize your space, and restore order to your home…then flip the book over for my advice on embracing your style, setting the mood, simplifying your spaces and more great decorating ideas!

Even if you already have the paperbacks, Simply Home is a great book for gift-giving or an opportunity to get a fun hardback version for your shelves!

A Lovely Life: Savoring Simple Joys in Every Season

Available to order now!

I have a passion for creating a home, not to be a showplace, but to be a sanctuary in every season. Creating that type of atmosphere at home involves cultivating a deep appreciation for the most ordinary of days. Rather than always striving for more than I have or can handle, I feel the most peace when I am simply present in the here and now, savoring the routines of the day and finding beauty in the rhythms of the seasons.

If you ever feel like you don’t have or do “enough” I wrote this book to remind, inspire and encourage myself as well as my fellow homebodies that a lovely life isn’t an unattainable one! Every day can be a better one.

I filled my new book, A Lovely Life, with encouragement, simple ideas and photos that I hope will inspire you to put on your own “rose colored glasses” and embrace your own lovely life. That kind of life doesn’t mean the house will be perfect or guarantee that there will be an absence of trouble filling our days, some seasons are messy and hard!

In A Lovely Life I share how embracing the rhythms of every season and romanticizing the most ordinary experiences and rituals of our days reminds us to be more intentional, present and grateful for the moments we have.

It’s seeing the little gifts in front of us that make life lovely.
