I am an Air Force
wife and homeschooling mom .
We are stationed at Offutt AFB near Omaha, NE. I live in military base housing with my husband and two kids ages 13 and 15. I've lived on a military base and in military housing almost my whole life. It is fun, but challenging at times to turn a blank, nothing special house into a warm and cozy home. I would call my decorating Colonial/Primitive.
I love the clean, crispness of the Colonial look, but also love to mix in those neat old primitive pieces
Spend a Cool 4th of July Touring This 'Cozy' Home!

as well. Most of the things in my home are reproductions, though one day
I hope to have many real
antique pieces and more Colonial inspired furniture.
Photo Above: Summer is one of my favorite times to decorate.
I enjoy having all the old flags throughout my home. Some of my flags stay out year round like the ones in my entryway.
One thing I always try to remember when I decorate my house is to only keep things in my home that I love. If I don't like it anymore, then I put it away or get rid of it. For me that is the best way to avoid clutter and keep the look that I love!
I hope you enjoy the tour of my Cozy Coop ! :-)

Some of my favorite things to decorate with are crocks, colonial coverlets and linens, old bowls and trays, dried goods, samplers, candles,baskets,old wood boxes, hooked rugs, colonial portraits and sconces. I also love stenciling throughout our house.
Photo Right: This pie safe is the first piece of primitive furniture I bought. I made the rag balls in the black caddy sitting on top. The black caddy was a good will makeover project. My mom brought me the shore birds from New England a few years ago.
Photo Left: I built the black towel rack after seeing one on Etsy and the candle shelf hanging on the wall was a goodwill makeover. I got it for $1.99! Love those goodwill makeovers! The set of stacking boxes are from Kindra at Momma's Prims and the crock holding the sweet annie was another goodwill find.

Photo Above Left: I found this old fashioned tool box at Lowes
and I keep my makeup in it. I printed the Presidential pictures
off of the internet and framed them. The candle holder was .99 at Goodwill and I painted and stenciled this set of boxes that I bought at Michael's.
Photo Right: I framed these old family pictures in frames I found at WalMart and hung them in my room.
