Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and your unique style. It is a jewel in an otherwise bland world of "neutral" decor.

Sono stata un pò assente anch'io con il mio blog... ma sono ritornata a scrivere... ed è bello ritornare anche nei blog amici. E' stato un piacere rivedere la tua magnifica casa.

I have enjoyed following you for years too. I remember many of these changes. I always LOVE your tables outside as your setting reminds me SO much of our last house. I totally agree, I have almost stopped blogging at times because there was so much competition. I even had a BIG BLOGGER ask me once how long I was going to continue since I didn't make any money from it. Well, like you I just enjoy doing it, don't follow any trends and surround myself with what WE love. I smile every time I walk into different rooms so that is what is important, at least to me. Keep on publishing, Anita. And God bless you and your beautiful family.

Oh, how rarely do I comment on any blog ever---but you make me weak, lady, so I simply must fight this keyboard and speak up! Anita, I do not use these words lightly, and I am not speaking about just your blogging when I say this, but for me, you are a shining star in every way. First, it is your spirit (that love you feel for the Lord and people and this gift of life) bursting through that makes you, your very cool mountain home, your decor and this blog "far above rubies". Your style is such a bright spot in this washed out, extremely BORING, BLAND, TYPICAL, tired, never ending cookie cutter landscape of decorating blogs for the very reasons you said yourself above...you simply share what is Anita and not a speck of anything else! And it is your weaving of old and new, this and that, function and glamour--right along side nature--that is your special magic! You have a wonderful sense of style, and man oh man, do I dig it!!

One more thing. I just want to say a huge thanks for not monetizing this space . I am able to shop all by myself and will no longer visit such blogs, especially when they used to let me peek in without having to fight through the insanity of all those dang ads! Not enough time in my day!
I save time for your beautiful blog so I can simply sit and savor it....as it should be. Thank you so much for sharing yourself as you do!--Connie
PS: We're neighbors, too...upstate SC here!

You have certainly reaped what you have sowed....an amazing journey these past 7 years. Your family is beautiful...I can just imagine that they are such kind souls, as you!...Happy 7th Blogaversary and I look forward to many more beautiful years of your home!!

Congratulations on eight years, Anita! I think you are very creative and it shows with all your posts. It's very easy to follow but much more is required when going your own unique way. Thank goodness you do and I will be cheering with you for eight more years!

Congratulations on your blog anniversary, Anita. I loved reading what you have learned over the last seven years of blogging and seeing the photos of your beautiful children during that time. I think you have always had a very original decorating style, and now you have really come in to a unique way of styling your rooms that is immediately recognizable as all yours. I admire you for being wonderfully different in our cookie-cutter world, something that is becoming harder and harder to do. You are one of the few truly creative home decor bloggers and it's been a pleasure to follow you. Here's to many more years!

I'm glad you kept going with your blog. I've only been following you for about a year, and I must say that I am envious of your music space, and your daughters' room is so unique and pretty, your porches are so welcoming and enticing, and wherever that pink rug goes I will follow! I've really enjoyed watching how you change your look with rearranging the lovely pieces you already have, and I really like all the colors you use everywhere. Congratulations on the 7 year anniversary!

Anita, congratulations on 7 years of your wonderful blog! You were one of the first people that I followed when I started in 2011. You know that I just love your use of color and sentimental keepsakes in your home. I can't get on the trendy bandwagon either; and have tried to stay true to what I love. I get so excited each time you put up a new post! I love everything that you do! You so deserve all of the good things that have come your way! Wishing you many more years of happy blogging!
