Elegant Home Tour

Elegant Home Tour-

ShirleyToday I have the extreme pleasure of sharing an elegant home tour from the beautiful state of North Carolina,courtesy of my lovely bloggy friend Shirley from Housepitality Designs. Shirley and I have been bloggy friends for quite some time and visits to her blog often feel like I am stopping over for a cup of tea . Her style and talents as a decorator spark inspiration in all who stop by her sweet blog.

Hello everyone .

My name is Shirley and I blog at Housepitality Designs. I am thrilled and honored that Katherine asked to feature me today.

I love all things home . . .

~ ~ ~ I am in constant “decorating motion” . .

So today, I thought that I would present to you, a “mini tour” of my home.

Shall we start in the room where my hubby and I spend the most time in.

living room decor

The large item over the fireplace is an antique iron and wood pair of shutters . .

~ ~ ~ the dealer said it came from a villa in Italy.

And be able to use my potting bench! There is one thing you can count on in my home . . constant change!

So many changes going on in many of the rooms. I hope you enjoyed this little mini house tour of mine . . .

~ ~ and a big thank you to Katherine for the honor of being here today!

Have a most wonderful day!!shirley signature

 

 Shirley’s home is fabulous, did you notice all of the pineapple accents she places throughout her home? Every time I see a pineapple decoration I think of Shirley. 🙂

    Love your home! Is the comforter in the master bedroom a duvet cover? If so, would you mind sharing a source for where to purchase it? If it was custom made, would you mind sharing the fabric name and source? Thank you so much.

    Such a great feature of Shirley’s home! I just noticed the backs of 2 of the chairs in her sitting area have pineapples on them. I’m like you. Every time I see a pineapple now, I think of Shirley! She is the epitome of southern hospitality!
