I'm Gillian, a Scotland based home & lifestyle blogger. Follow along as I navigate this new journey sharing my life from home.

Today I'm going to be sharing my summer tour with you! Thank you, Meg from Green With Decor for organizing! If you are new to my blog, welcome! I'm Amy.

My blog is a combination of home decor, crafts, recipes, and fashion. My desire is to inspire others to live their lives to the fullest at home. Home to me is a happy and inspiring place where I enjoy spending time with my loved ones. I feel your home should be a reflection of you, your journey, your memories, and your style. I love all things with a history and I fill my home with things that are meaningful and inspiring to me. I would sum up my style in three words: vintage, cozy, farmhouse. I've been lucky to inherit a lot of pieces and enjoy putting them to use in my home. I like a clean, fresh pallette with pops of greenery and color in subtle ways. A standard color throughout the home is black. My floors are black and I have pops of black through fixtures and accessories throughout my home!

Are you ready to come in?

Welcome to my home!

We recently did a front porch refresh and you can catch up on that here and here.

As you enter the home, we have a small foyer which has a travel gallery wall and barn style doors on our pantry.

Our office has a gallery wall with maps of favorite places we've been and my vintage camera collection.

I recently bought this headboard bench from a French Market Sale. I saw this and just could not resist it. I literally rearranged the whole room to accommodate this new purchase. Can anyone else relate? With neutral throw pillows and a stack of books on one side, it is the perfect spot to read a book or enjoy the sunshine pouring in.

Next, we will head into the dining room, where I have set my table for you in my summer tablescape. I used galvanized chargers that are great for indoor or outdoor entertaining. Paired with that, mismatched white plates, antique bowls and linen napkins. Using my olive bucket, I put together an arrangement of white, green, and crimson flowers. A perfect setting for a luncheon or tea!

Another spot which gets some summer touches is my fireplace. I used another olive bucket to house a fern. My mantel is my spring mantel scheme which has a bird theme using a bird's nest in a milk glass dish, antique bird prints, a birdhouse wreath and a tobacco basket.
