Style Scouting: Vol. 178
Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.
Posts You May Have Missed This Week:

- My New Favorite Afternoon Snack
Now that it is February, Spring doesn’t seem that far away. I don’t mind the winter months as I always use them as a time to get indoor projects done around the house so that once Spring does arrive, I can spend more time outside.
After dusting off my sewing machine a couple of weeks ago, I have been looking around my house to see what else I can make to freshen the spaces. I posted about making fabric napkins and will share another thing I sewed for my kitchen this week.
I am also thinking about wallpapering a room. I have the paper in my Amazon cart, but have yet to hit order as the little voice in my head keeps telling me to just paint it. Decisions… decisions…
As for the hutch I was planning to make for my living room to display my collection of white dinner and serveware, that has gone on the backburner of projects. Snags in the design may not work as I planned. :-( I will keep you posted.
Now onto the links I found this week.
Decorating
I like the lived in cozy feeling of this large home. Don’t miss checking out the walls in the dining room.
When the winter blues start getting you down… seeing these rooms should help energize you.
Would you want 3 of these in your kitchen? I would!!! Click on the first of the photos in the line up of 3 small photos. Doing this will open up larger photos of the home.
While on vacation in Rosemary Beach, Florida in the fall, I rode my bike past this home everyday. I enjoyed this post allowing me to see how it was decorated.
DIY
I think I shared this Valentines’s Day gift wrap idea for baked goods last February. They are so cute I had to share again.
A clever idea to do with drawers.
Making and hanging this Valentine decoration in your home is sure to bring a smile to your face everytime you pass it.
Food
I loved soup made with this kind of pasta when I was a kid… and still do.
Do you like French fries? Have you ever made them like this?
These colorful heart cookies sure look good and fun to make.
Out & About
I may have to subscribe to Hulu so I can see this movie adapted from this book.
Make use of your local public library – they have books, DVDs, video games, puzzles, etc – all of these things are free to borrow. They often have free programs you can attend as well. Some libraries also circulate unconventional things – like check engine code readers, bubble kits, binoculars, telescopes, and a ton of other things!
Fun & Interesting
Things to do when you are overthinking and can’t fall asleep.
Something to Think About
This is good for all to know in 2024 and going forward.
I didn’t make a new year resolutions or choose a word of the year, but I am trying to do more of this… it’s called quietude.
