It seems my posting schedule is a bit off…you’re getting some late afternoon/evening posts from me lately, and I suppose that’s because I’m working night and day on editing the Ebook.
Thanks for understanding and reading along.

Simplicity~~
the freedom from complexity, intricacy, or division into parts. the absence of luxury, pretentiousness, ornament.
I know many of us feel the need to live simply after the holidays with all their sparkle and hype. Many of the projects I’m doing around the house are cut and dry…
paint that door
clean out closets
re-style the mantle
paint that chest
I’m not quite ready for book wreaths or creating abstract art. My brain needs to de-clutter and check off straightforward tasks.
When it came time to style the entry, I just didn’t want to think.
I grabbed a few things I have been appreciating the last few months and put them together.
What I got was free of luxury and ornament. Free of fuss.
Simple.
The most random objects come together to form happy in my home.
I treasure the special, the sentimental, the “me.”

Be still my heart.
Just looking at this book inspires me to do great things.
This is even a section we cover in the book…stop worrying whether it’s perfect and place the things you love in your home.
I promise you won’t regret it.

In other news….
I’ve decided those doors are coming down, baby.
If I were on Twitter, this is where I’d say

That turquoise dresser in your entry is so pretty Shaunna! So you're going the door-less route in the kitchen? I took mine down to paint and am thinking about keeping a few of them off. My hubby needs a little convincing though!
Shaunna…Honey,bunny. I have just found the world of blogging (I am old, it took me longer.) But you are just an artist!! So proud of you! This is well done!
Shaunna, another beautiful display. Your home looks so peaceful! I know what you mean about simple decorating after the holiday clutter!
I treasure the special and sentimental as well. Your entry looks very pretty. Every time I see your aqua dresser I love it even more…it is gorgeous. Your mirror is beautiful above it and I think the simplicity of your decor on the dresser is just perfect. I still have some barren pieces as I haven't figured out quite what to do after the holidays. Your arrangment just gave me an idea!
I love that rug! Can you please tell me where you bought it? 🙂
Simple, yes, but as the result of your lovely editing and attention to detail. And the cello? My God, what a detail!!
I love your entry way. Very pretty and love that it's just randomly put together. That usually works out best…
That is just beautiful!So simple, yet so very stylish. The turquoise dresser and cello (bass?) are fabulous.
The entry way is so inviting…Can't wait to see your cabinets come down…mine are already down but I don't have the shelves in to replace them…Maybe this weekend we will get it finished.
shauna…i am in the garage now digging out one of these…i can so do this…thanks for inspiring me…i am starting a new section on my magablog that will eventually be a website of its own (Ghosts of furniture past)…if you would like to contribute, i would love it!!!
I would LOVE to know what paint/color that is on the dresser…I’ve been trying to find my perfect aqua/blue color….it’s gorgeous!
Love it! I have a bench w/iron in entryway that collects stuff: magazines & gifts to be sent out. The area is small w/a window pane w/glass hangs on wall across from bench & a big vintage mirror over bench. Love all but something has to change. An ideas?
I love your style, the colours and all the loveley little things,

LOVE the entry photo! Especially the Cordova Sconces, which I have as well. 🙂
