BLOG*ROLL
blog*roll - A list of blogs. A blogger features a list of their favorite blogs in the sidebar of their blog.
When visiting with my Aunt in Baltimore a couple of weeks ago, and telling her all about CactusCreekDaily.com, I mentioned several other blogs that I love to read. She asked me to send her a list of them but I thought instead I would go ahead and make a Blogroll - something I’ve been meaning to do for a while now…
Here is a list of the blogs I LOVE to read, along with short descriptions about each… {I hope to update it frequently so check back every now and then.}
Barnhouse Modern
With our quest to eventually build our own “Barn House”, I have found Barnhouse Modern to be a source of great inspiration!! They also offer a blog called Farmhouse Modern which offers another perspective of this growing trend in “Country” Design {which I LOVE}.

the Farm Chicks
With a practically cult-like following, the Farm Chicks are a dynamic duo that have created an entrepreneurial empire comprised of an Antique Show , a book, an online store, and a brand new blog that is going to be on the top of everyone’s list!!
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
Smarts & Crafts
A blog from the owners of the Curiosity Shoppe, the Smarts & Crafts blog follows the musings of the proprietors… My favorite feature of this blog is the Weekly Photo Assignment. The assignment is always simple {this week’s is “Fall”}, and it’s meaning is left up to the photo-taker. Fun, easy and intriguing…

Urban Prairie Refueled
Designed and edited by Chris Brown, Urban Prairie Refueled is an extension of Chris’s website, Urban Prairie. With an uber-hip perspective of country design ~ urban styling ~ and unusual collections, Chris offers a peek into his eclectic style that works to solidify a new definition of design that is definitely emerging.

Hill Country House
What I love so much about the Hill Country House blog is the splendid photography of homes located in the Hill Country of Texas. Each has it’s own brand of rusticity not found very often outside of the Hill Country region, but certainly worth reviewing - especially if you plan to build your own Rustic Home someday!!

Jane’s Blog
Written by Country Living editor, Jane Dagmi, Jane’s Blog is a wonderful peek into the world of a super-cool job. From Florida to Atlanta, Iowa to Canada - Jane takes readers on her adventures and introduces them to the creative energies she meets along the way!!

Diddy-Wa-Diddy ~ the artwork of Kelly Buntin Johnson
Kelly Buntin Johnson is a self-described mixed media artist/preservationist, who revamps common cast-aways to become objects d’art. Her pieces include beaded and hand-sewn jewelry, figures, holy emblems, and relics. Kelly’s blog discusses art ~ her hilltop homestead ~ and the beautiful details in the plants & creatures that fill our world.

CURIOUS SOFA Diaries
This was the first blog I ever spent time on - it is updated by Debbie Dusenberry, the owner and creative force behind of the ultra-fabulous Kansas City store, Curious Sofa. Debbie’s store, website and blog are all inspirational - especially for those of you who own, or dream of owning, your own retail store.

Mrs. Blandings
Another KC gal, Mrs. Blandings offers insightful blogs about interior design, posts photos of Kansas City homes & stores, plus a bit about her life with Mr. Blandings and her 3 sons. What’s more, she also contributes to SPACES Kansas City - a beautiful magazine that fuels my decorating spark.
