Design….it should ALWAYS be fun…..

Looking back on 2014 I have to say that I am most proud of how my design business has evolved and grown, and by that, I really mean how I have evolved and grown in my design business. When I began this adventure in 2012, I really just dove in…. if you were one of those first clients, God bless you. While I am proud of ALL my work, what I know for sure, is that my work has only gotten better,...

HOUSEKEEPING……..

First things first……I have been having email troubles - ugh! If you been sending any email communication to my  jillhinsoninteriors.com email address, I have not been getting them for the last week!  I apologize as I have been trying to figure it all out and make some decisions to as to what email  service to use going forward.  In the meantime, if you could, please...

Christmas in the Kitchen….and a favorite recipe!

Welcome to my Christmas kitchen! Thank you to Kelly from Talk of the House for inviting me to  participate in her Christmas in the Kitchen blog hop! As with the rest of our home, I keep the Christmas decor pretty simple in my kitchen.  I tend to prefer natural elements.   When my girls were smaller I started a Christmas snow globe collection for each of them - this year...

A little Christmas in our Ho*Me*…...

I'm not going to chat your ear off about our holiday decor…. Here it is….I actually enjoyed doing less this year…..seems there is a trend towards 'more life, less hassle' and I am a big fan of that mantra. I couldn't resist these whimsical bottle brush trees from Anthropologie this year - especially their fabulous colors….love. I made the pom-pom wreath……I did.  I will...

Striking Family Balance During a Busy Time of Year - $100 Visa Card Giveaway

If you have visited here more than a couple times, you probably know that I have two teenage daughters (well, technically just one, but my 12 year old will be 13 very soon).  I truly LOVE having teenagers.  I didn't think I would - when my girls were toddlers I seriously feared them becoming teens.  But I am here to tell you, you grow into it, you know your children and find that...

Reflecting on designing for all of you…..

Just over two years ago I began offering e-design services via this blog. About the same time, I also began working with local homeowners to make their  homes beautiful and functional.  It has been quite the journey - the time has fulfilled and challenged me in so many ways.  I feel amazingly blessed to be able to do something I love so much on my own terms in a way that still...

Happy to Friday to YOU!

We made it - it's Friday! The first Friday in December in fact! I don't know about you, but the first week of December always seems frantic and leaves me feeling panicked….this year was  no different…..but I decided to embrace it.  I worked hard this week in order to {hopefully} be able to enjoy the rest of the month…. I ordered gifts online, made dinner reservations for Christmas...

Blogger sALes….and one of my own {ironstone and clocks, oh my!}…..

See the new addition to my living room above?  I lucked out and scored the vintage Persian rug from Fran at Green Street blog when she was having a little sale of  home 'extras'.  Her My rug is happily layered over the PB Heathered Jute Chenille rug  and warming up our family's great room.  I love it! I question my timing - but before I 'deck the halls', I am feeling...
