Welcome to Cindy's gorgeous home, located in Southern California. You might remember when we featured her Home way back in November 2008, and her Garden in May 2008.

Books, magazines, shops, blogs.

In 5 words or less, your home is?

Simple, cozy, comfortable, evolving and busy (4 kids!)

What is your favorite store or flea market to shop at?

No favorites. I shop EVERYWHERE, from antique shops to thrift stores and flea markets to yard sales. I try to buy only items with a function that have a place in our home.

Share one of your favorite decorating tricks or ideas:

I drape flour sack tea towels and fabric remnants over tension rods for window curtains and for hiding clutter.

Your favorite paint color, name and brand?

No favorite, but we use a lot of Behr Pure White from The Home Depot! It does the job.

Rusty hardware, vintage lace, sheet music, aluminum lunch boxes, vintage rosaries and crowns.

The master bedroom because that's the most recent project near completion.
