All systems go


There was good reason to wait a week before climbing up onto the rooftops to remind everybody to check out this month's Cottage of the Month. I've been working out some wrinkles with my new webhost, learning how to tip toe around it's fussy nature, and frankly, I think it would have been easier to navigate an 18-wheeler through quicksand.


If it wasn't for this girl, the real wizard behind the curtain, there probably wouldn't even be a Cottage of the Month, with all of its technical requirements. I know I sing praise about her often, and rightfully so. She's come to my rescue so many times, she is my lifesaver and a true friend.



Don't you just love this house? This is LeAnn's home, and she's March's Cottage of the Month. It was one year ago when I called LeAnn to deliver the news that she was going to be in an upcoming feature. She was driving while talking to me on her cell phone, and I remember instructing her to pull of the road, she was so excited. Making that phone call made my whole day.



These are just a mere few shots from LeAnn's feature. I'm so loving her use of color, it's the perfect intro to Spring, don't you think? Please hop on over and see her feature in its entirety.

  3. Hi Jennifer :)

    I love LeAnn's home! She's been such a great blogging friend and she's really talented at make her home look fresh on a tight budget. She's always changing it up and even though people think I have a lot of energy, she makes me look lazy LOL

    Thank you for making her cottage a feature :)

  4. What a great, personal take on the cottage look.

    I find myself looking forward to every cottage you feature, and you know what I like the best - what makes me happiest? The lack of cold stainless steel appliances in the kitchens! I am so sick of decorating shows that say you *must* have SS appliances.

    Thanks for yet another uplifting visit.

  8. Jennifer thank you for sharing LeAnn's home.
    I believe she had closed her blogs, right?

    One word comes to mind to describe her home... fresh. It's cottagey with a fun, fresh new look. Love the green and orange.

    I really liked the kitchen cabs, those little cubbies above. The things I could shove in there! LOL!

    I also enjoyed reading your 40 things. Have a wonderful spring!!

  22. Hi Jennifer! Leann is such a sweetie! Her home has transformed so much since she started blogging, it is amazing that it is the same house! Very, very pretty :) I love the charm of the outside, so inviting. I love the bike too, I have a vintage bike in my garden that is pink. I cant wait to pull it back out when spring FINALLY gets to Michigan!
