I’ve been following your blog for quite a while and always check it each day. Love all your posts. I think I want to start using Thieves cleaner but was wondering if that is what you use to clean your floors.
I have subscribed for quite a while and look forward to your Sunday morning messages. I love this message about Amazing Grace. Is it possible for you to send this to me so that I can print it and share it with a member of my church family?
We just bought a home and I seem to recall you had an image posted of the front of your new home with grasses and hydrangeas, but I can’t seem to find it again. I love it and want to see if I can do something similar. Can you point me where I might find this again.
PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT THE SISAL RUG I SEE ON THE FLOOR IN THE FARMHOUSE. IT HASE THE ZEBRA RUG OVER IT. I HAVE HAD TWO SISAL RUGS ORDER AND DELIVERED SO FAR THAT I HAVE SENT BACK BECAUSE OF WORKMSANSHIP. PLEASE HELP/GUIDE ME. THANK YOU.
Hi! Here is the rug we have:https://rstyle.me/+KebIZ5gsc-zkFkiQe84h3A Sisal rugs are often hand made and they are made out of jute. They do not have the same workmanship as a woven rug. I don’t expect them to fall apart but I love their rustic artisan look.
I would like to put a glass on top of a beautiful art work should also serve as a mirror. I meant, if I get closer I see myself too. This frame will hang in my foyer. Plain mirror is boring. Pls help!
Your home is absolutely beautiful and I love your decor ideas. The black, white and neutral floral throw pillows are unique. I mentioned that you bought the fabric a long time ago, but do you remember the manufacturer?
Thanks!
Joyce
Could you please tell me where you found the magazine basket next to the cream chair? love it! Thanks for the tips on mixing metals. I really enjoy your emails!
Hi . My name is Mary Ellis and I have been a fan for many years. I wanted to ask where you got your round table and upholstered chairs with brads and also the rug underneath it? Its beautiful! We are moving and I would like to “copy” your decor! Love …… Mary
Love your ideas and inspirational messages. I’m looking for a repost of your herbed chicken salad. Ive seen several at other sites but love many of your recipes and this one will no longer pop up when searching. Would you consider reposting? I’m planning a ladies virtual tea and this looks wonderful, I’m planning to fill home made cream puffs. The whole tea will be an interesting challenge since I’m delivering all to my neighbors in decorated boxes and visiting on Webex! Thank you so much, Phyllis Lukens
Good Morning – I was looking for your recipe that was bow tie pasta with salmon/asparagus in a creamy sherry sauce. I have made it multiple times and absolutely love it. I am unable to locate that recipe on your blog. Would you be willing to share it with me as I am wanting to make it this evening for my family. Thank you Rosemarie
Good morning,
Enjoyed your blog as always while having my coffee this morning. My wheels are already turning about changes when take down all my Christmas stuff! 😊 still working on my living room update and love the picture taking idea. I’ve decided need a bar cart like yours. Hugs D
Good morning and Merry Christmas week!! I was just reading Ann Sutton’s blog and she featured your post on a ” Tartan Brunch “. It was nothing short of STUNNING!!! I LOVE plaid and absolutely fell in love with your table setting! How creative and unique! I have always enjoyed all facets of decorating, I just don’t have the lifestyle or family to enjoy it. I pinned your post so that I may refer to it each Christmas season.
Let’s hope the world experiences a happier and safer New Year!!!

A while back you had a post on the website about buying and using faux greens. You mentioned that there was a store in Lancaster (or somewhere nearby) where you purchased quality faux greens and flowers. I will be visiting Lancaster in the Spring for a weekend and would love to go to this shop if you could provide the name.
I’m not sure what those pinecones are. Give them a try. And let us know! I bet they would be beautiful. You might have to adjust the time the pinecones are in the bleach solution you don’t want to ruin the pinecones if the are papery.
Alum works to keep the sap from clogging up and closing the ends of the stems. I’m not sure it works on all flowers. I see you are a florist so I defer to you.
Where did you find that 3 tiered small table at the end of your sofa? I have been looking for something to put at the end of my sofa and it looks to be perfect
Yvonne, I just wanted to encourage you and let you know how much I appreciate your Sunday devotions that you post. I pray for you each week and for the ladies that will be reading them and ask God to bear much fruit from them. I also love your decorating style.
Grace and Peace, Sherry
Thanks so much for all the beautiful things you do and for the inspiration… may God bless you and your family
I look forward to your post each day
Laura Aycock
Thank you for your uplifting blog and wonderful ideas. You have blessed my lonely life due to the Covid and living alone for the first time ever in 79 years as my husband passed away. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Love, joy and peace, Nancy B.
Hi Yvonne. I happened on your blog today and started looking at your Fall Home Tour. I really enjoyed seeing all the beautiful touches you added to each room. I have a question: where did you get the window treatments in your sunroom? The fabric is something I would like to have hanging in my front entrance windows. Thanks for the tour. You have a beautiful house and your decorating style is right up my alley.
Sincerely, Carlotta
Every week my daily emails from Yvonne do not arrive in my email.
I subsequently resubscribe each week.
Please recheck from your end and see if there is a problem.
Sherry
Hi Sherry, you are fine on my end. It’s probably how you have your email set up. Things like daily newsletters are often flagged and go into your spam or trash. If you find one in your spam or trash folder just add it to your inbox and then they should start coming there. Or better yet, add my email address to your contact list.
Hope you find this helpful.
Hello. I just found your link by searching for washer/clothing issues and ran across home made laundry detergent. Yours was recommended, but when I researched, it was not listed any longer.
Would you please email me your recipe for home made laundry detergent. Would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,
Elaine Schichtle g.e@windstream.net
In your blog, “HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST ACCENT CHAIR”, there is an accent chair depicted in the first photo – white with blue floral, I was hoping to find out the link in which it can be found. Please share. Thank you.
Yvonne, the kitchen is so beautiful. I am hoping you will share all of the details/ sources. I am thinking about a kitchen reno so it would be helpful…… Thanks Marjorie
Your Tanglewood Home is beautifully decorated for fall.
Please share where you purchased the bleached fall wreaths & faux seed pods.
Thank you.
Deborah
Yvonne, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your Sunday writings. I wish you would have them all put into a book. You have blessed my life in so many ways by what you share from the Word and from your heart. I pray that God continues to bless you as you bless others.
Hi Sue, I found it at HomeGoods. At the time I had no idea what I was going to do with it. So it sat in my basement for a long time and then one day when I was down there I rediscovered it and put it in one of the guest bedrooms.
Hi Tracy, when we were considering moving to StoneGable one of my conditions was the kitchen would need to be made over. Our home is very open and this kitchen can be seen from so many other living spaces. And it did not fit into my style, colors etc. Since we did not build our Tanglewood home we needed to make it ours.
Hi Yvonne,
I love your office. I too have been decorating my office and am trying to find a natural looking desk like yours for some time now. Is your desk available to purchase from a company? If not, if you have a direction to look, I would greatly appreciate it.
Take care.
Sharon
I really need someone’s opinion on whether I should purchase a new sofa, or have our like new 25 year old Pennsylvania House camel back sofa reupholstered. It has been virtually unused in a formal living room for all these years, so it is in perfect condition. I was wondering what your take is on having it done as some of the furniture quality today is not that great. That, plus it seems a shame to simply dispose of it . We still like the style, and will be downsizing and it would become the main sofa in our new living room. I think what is holding me back is wondering how it will turn out after it’s done. Help!
Hi Lyn, if you reread your question I think you will find the answer. It sounds like you don’t want to really part with it. If you love it and recovering it won’t cost more than a new sofa (I’ve done that) then recover it. My best advice is to keep it light and neutral!
Our views on furniture have changed. We used to go to the local furniture store and buy very expensive, well-made furniture that would last the rest of our lives… or almost. Now, with the onset of the internet and lots of online sources for furniture that are good quality but not maybe as good as the things we bought years ago, we have options.
We no longer have to keep a piece of furniture for 25 years or more! We can buy something that will last for 10 or 7 or even less.
Here is something I hope all home decorators will remember… SPEND ACCORDING TO THE YEARS YOU ARE WILLING TO LIVE WITH SOMETHING! The longer you need to live with a piece of furniture the more you should spend to get the quality.
Lyn, you hit on a very good point and one I so strongly believe in… LIVE WITH WHAT YOU LOVE!
I know it might be hard to picture what something will look like when it is done, but keep it light and neutral and you will be okay! Hope this helps. Please send me a picture of the sofa you choose!
Hi, Yvonne. I’ve enjoyed your blog for many years! Did you re-do the kitchen at Tanglewood yet? I couldn’t find a post about it… I got behind in my blog reading and wondered if I missed it?
Thanks,
Jackie
Hi Jackie, the makeover begins on July 21st! We had to roll back the start date because of the Covid virus. I’ll be sharing how it looks now and the 3D plans for it in a couple weeks. And I’ll be sharing lots of posts and Instagram stories about the progress.
Great! Thanks. We just moved into our house last year, and I had to put a lot on the back burner due to Covid (paint, kitchen, etc.), so I understand! I’m hoping to get the kitchen done soon… I’m still trying to decide on a few things, so looking forward to seeing what you do!
Hi Susan, I’m thrilled you are enjoying StoneGable. I just was the floors with Young Living Oil’s Thieves. I’ve never had tile floors before and I’m not sure I love them. We have not done anything with the grout yet. I’d like to clean it and then seal it.
Hi, Yvonne…I’m hoping you can tell me the color Gray of your front door. My husband and I purchased a spec house in Loudon, TN was it was partially complete and I’m having a hard time working the white windows in with the color exterior we chose. It’s a Fiberglass front door with wood frame and we’re painting the frame white. This color gray will work well with the partial stone. Any help would be appreciated. Your home is beautiful.
Hi Kimberly, I call this door color “Puddy”. It’s not gray but a very interesting bisque with almost a greenish tint.
We are not sure. We moved to our Tanglewood home 8 months ago. The door was already painted. I’m trying to find a source and when I do I’ll make sure to post it.
Hello!!!
So enjoy and appreciate your talents. Everything is just beautiful.
I’m inquiring on the two round pieces you have above side tables. One.. your large round clock and the two piece round mirror? Can I asked where you found these? Been on the lookout for sometime now. I do remember you painting the clock frame? Not necessarily where you found it.
Hi
For some reason I’m not getting emails for Stone gable any more. Could you please add me back on your emails! I enjoy reading your blog with my tea in the morning! Dmoraris@aol.com
Thank you Denise
Hi Yvonne, I have not been receiving your newsletter for about two weeks. I had been getting it daily – I have checked my spam mail but nothing there either. Would you put me back on the list please! I miss my daily inspiration. Thank you
It was wonderful meeting you in the Pottery Barn Outlet today. You mentioned I could email you for decorating tips and suggestions for some additional sites that might aligned with my transitional (with a gray base) style. I look forward to connnecting. My email is below.
Hello!! I just discovered your blog on blue and white decor. I love your photos! I have always wanted my home to be decorated in these colors sadly O have a husband who works outdoors (oilfield) and two sons so white, cream, off-white… are never going to happen. But I paint! I was wondering if you took the photos yourself or a professional photographer did. If you did I would love permission to paint from some of them. You can view my work on FB or my website (added below). Thank you!
Hello, I love your home. Its so put together and I love all the “finds” you find at little stores. I’m going to be in the strasburg area and I was wondering if you could share with me some good home/consignment stores to check out?
Hi! I have been trying to sign up for your news letters but it keeps saying I am already signed up. If so, why aren’t I getting them. Please reinstate my subscription. Thank you soooo much!
HI Ronnie, I bet the StoneGable newsletters are going to your spam folder. Look there and then move just one to your inbox and the newsletters should start coming there. I’m so happy you signed up for the newsletters. There is so much great info in them!
Hi, I love your Instagram and Pinterest. Also always look forward to getting your newsletter. I was on another website and saw a pic posted from your website but there isn’t a link and I can’t find it on your site. It is two square galvanized planters on your porch. Do you mine sharing where you got those? Thanks!
Hello,
I really enjoy your website. Your home is just beautiful and I love your design. Recently you posted some blue and white fishbowl planters on your front porch. I am obsessed with these and have been looking all over to purchase some. I find that they are outrageously expensive. Do you have a recommendation for me as to where to purchase these at a reasonable price? They are not very easy to find.
I just wanted to tell you that I love your blog! I discovered it several years ago because of your tablescape postings around Easter time and have enjoyed it ever since. I follow you via Facebook and love waking up each day to see your posts.
Thank you for curating and sharing such a beautiful and inspiring blog site.
Yvonne, for some reason it seems that I have been unsubscribed from your blog. I have not been receiving your emails for a couple of weeks now. They are not going into a spam folder, either. I did contact before but have not heard back yet.
Please resubscribe me!
Thank you so much.
Hello. The bedside table ( black with gold zebra top) in your guest bedroom is beautiful and unique. Would you mind sharing where you got this? I’m looking for something like that for my guest bedroom.
Thank you!!
Please subscribe me to your blog/website! I have came across your blog from others and just love your style and tips! I have tried to subscribe a few times but can not seem to locate where I do that :(. However I have just discovered your podcast which I will be checking out after this!! Thank you 🙂
Yvonne, for some reason I have not received your emails over the past 6 days. I have been receiving them for some time now, so not sure what happened. They are not in spam folder.
Thanks for your attention, and thanks for all of your time, energy, thoughts, and prayers on our behalf. You are appreciated!
Shirley
Hi just wondering where you suggest getting a dough bowl. I thought you have suggested before but I can not locate where I thought I saw it. Thanks for any help you can give me!
Hello!
I don’t know how I originally came across Stonegable, but I love your blog, your style and your podcast!
Wondering if you have any input for those of us who have (some) stained woodwork/furniture in our homes? We have a country home on 5 acres and all of our trim is white EXCEPT for our kitchen and family room. 20 years ago when we purchased and remodeled this house and were installing a custom kitchen, we felt like white cabinets were probably a trend and went with stained Hickory. Clearly, white was not just a trend! Our very nice and quite expensive custom cabinetry is still in excellent condition and there is no plan to change them. The woodwork in that entire area is stained an early American brown, and we have newer granite countertops. I was listening the other day to your podcast #3 about trends. When we did this house, we decided that traditional wood would always be in style while colors would probably come and go. But now 20 years later, here we are! Can you offer any “hope”
or suggestions for me and others like me?
Thanks so much!
Hi Paula, Stained woodwork is also a classic and has a lovely warm feel. But if you don’t like your stained woodwork you could paint it. That would mean sanding them and then priming and painting… a lot of work. Or you can replace them. I think those are the only options. You might try painting or replacing one room and see how you like it and if it’s worth changing your entire home.
I’d love to know what you decide.
I’m very much enjoying your podcast and I wanted to make a comment about your adjustable bed and the problem you are having with your bottom sheet untucking. My mother bought a similar bed st Sleep Train, and at the time she also purchased 2 sets of sheets specifically designed for the adjustable bed. they were quite expensive but they were perfect! The bottom sheet was fitted but also had elastic straps that kept the sheet in place. ( I’m using past tense because my mother has since passed away and I donated her wonderful bed and sheets to another person who needed the adjustable bed). I think if you invested in a set of these sheets your problem would be solved!
I’ve just found your blog n your beautiful home.
I saw your coffee Station and love love the vintage daily grind metal sign.
I do not see any comment on where you purchased it…
Would you please share that info.
My bestie would really enjoy that.
Thanks so much for all your info, input and efforts.
Much appreciated
Hi I was hoping you could tell me how you did the Paris Grey buffet? I can’t figure out if you did a white wax or maybe a whitewash over the paint. I would love to get you tips as I am just starting out in the fun adventure of painting furniture!
Dear Friend,
I’m so sorry you still are having pain. My prayers are with you! I want to wish you sweetly scented spring days and a rapid recovery.
Sincerely,
Karen Podany

I enjoy the tips and ideas shared that continue to freshen up my home. They are realistic, inviting and financially reasonable. Not a bad combination! I love staying tuned in to all the ideas shared!
Hello! I’m wondering if you have a recommendation for area rug pads. I’ve read various internet articles disparaging several different types but can’t find consensus on what is really best. I have hardwood floors I’m anxious to protect as well as to pad the rugs.
Thanks for any advice.
Hi Jennifer, I don’t feel I have researched rug pads to be able to give you the best advice. I would probably call a rug dealer and talk to them. I hope this helps. Happy New Year from StoneGable!
P.S. Quick design question:
What do you think about floor lamps in a living room? Yay or nay? I have mixed feelings about mine, they don’t really seem classic, I guess. It is a newer Roth + Allen floor lamp from Lowes. But I think it may be outdated already.
Thank you for your time.
Hello there,
I just adore your blog. I really appreciate the relative and fresh content. I have revisited many of your posts over and over again, particularly on hosting guests, cooking and finding you’re decor style. You have my dream home 😉
We currently live in a rental home in a new city & state where my husband took a pastorate in November.
I’m looking forward to the decorating journey, working within the rental limitations.
As with any move, I am finding some decor no longer working and sensing a shift in my design style. Do you offer any design consultations? Your look is so classic, yet fresh and casually elegant. All your rooms look pulled together so well. Maybe a post on the essentials of a well put together room?
Keep up the great work. I admire you, your style and your lovely Stonegable.
Hi Kathy,
That hen lamp has stood the test of time. I probably have had it 20 years or so!It came from a little boutique shop in Vienna Va. I’m sorry I can’t point you to a source to find it.
Hope you have a very happy Thanksgiving!
Yvonne,
First of all congratulations on the grand baby! They are wonderful and truly a blessing. I love your blog; God has given you the gift of color and design for sure. I also live in Lancaster county. (The Buck to be exact). Actually it was funny you mentioned you know what goes on at the Buck because my husband pulls there. I look forward to your daily newsletters.
God bless you and your family and just so you know Christmas will never be the same now with your new little love. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and CHRISTmas.
Carmen Wiker
Gorgeous!! Love it, so calming. I love the curtains in your dining room, would you mind sharing where you got them, or the fabric please?
Thanks for sharing your gift ?
Yvonne, I am so enjoying your blog!! I am September contest winner! Have not received visa gift card. Very concerned there might have been a problem with the mail. Please let me hear from you!
Marilyn G
Hi–just read & so enjoyed your post re: “10 Great Tips About White Dishes,” along w/all the great comments; all very helpful & inspiring as I embark on undertaking a major overhaul of our table service. However, maybe I missed some info. but even in your linked article I couldn’t find a maker/pattern name for the 5 stacked cream bowls w/a “deckled” edge in the middle of the photo above pt. 5–I really love them; can you help me out on this? Thanks, Linda
MARY, Look in your junk mail. Sometimes newsletters end up there. If you find StoneGable there just move it to your inbox and the rest of the newsletter should show up there. Hope this helps, Mary!
Can you tell me where to find the hare pic above the bed in one of your Christmas posts? I tried to attach the screenshot, but can’t. I saw it on Pinterest.
Hi Liz, wow that’s quite a list… the mirror came from Ballard Design, desk from World Market, clock from Pottery Barn Outlet, the lamp from HomeGoods, I made the lampshade, the chair from Ethan Allen, the garden stool from Ballard Design, the big basket from HomeGoods. Hope this helps!
Can you send me your link to ‘Buying Paint Color”? We just bought a new home & I love your pallet & article from a few weeks ago. Please send your advice, as well!
Thanks so much,
Julie
First and upmost, I love your blog, newsletter and decorating ideas and tips that you give us from your very own personal collection, it has given me the repurpose eye even more for my own items before I invest in more. I am getting ready to distress my black urns for Fall and will send you a pic when complete if you’d like?! We are growing pumpkins this year for the first time and already having great success. My husband is so excited! I already have my Fall plan!
Now a question I have, where is a good place to find the items to make your vingettes on your tables, counters etc. I group my fav things together without on coffee table, breakfast island without it, would like one for Fall!
We have so many herbs, my husband brings me bouquets, or whatever there is an obundance of to use as a floral bouquet with my vignettes in Kitch. Green and fragrant! I am also getting ready to do your herb freezer cubes, thank you! You must of known I needed that! Thank you so much again! Love to you and family!
Jacqueline, I love that you are already thinking about fall and planning. As far as finding things for a vignette I usually “shop my house”. We all have books, so start there. Use them as risers. Did you see my post on covering books with burlap? Those covered books make a fabulous item for vignettes. You can see the post here: http://www.stonegableblog.com/how-to-cover-a-book-with-burlap/. I’ll be making a decorative orb in August. Look for the post. These orbs are such nice additions to a vignette. Thanks for being part of the StoneGable family!!!!
I love the color you chose for your walls. They look quite sunny and cheerful. What colors did you use? I’m remodeling my home and I can’t find the right color to use to get the same affect. I chose a neutral but I think its just too dark. Lovely home.
Good morning A friend of mine told me about your site today and your blog. I don’t know how to add myself to your blog but if you could do that for me that would be awesome! She knew I would love your style so she showed me your daily blood that she gets in her mail. My email address isritaabook@sbcglobal.net thank you very much! I also added you on Facebook
Hi! I was wondering if your backsplash is tile or wood? Im looking to do wainscoting in my kitchen, but am not sure how wood works with grease etc. Thank you so much!!!
Hi Magdalena,
The front door color was a serendipitous mistake. We thought we were getting gray, but when we got home the paint was blue. I have no idea what the paint store mixed. The door must be repainted this summer and we will try to match it. Stop by sometime this summer and I’ll be doing a post about the new and hopefully closely matched door color.
Hi Leslie, Because you unsubscribed to my list in the past I can’t resubscribe you. You must do it yourself. Thanks so much for coming back to StoneGable.
Hi Yvonne,
Everything you do is beautiful! You have inspired me, and I have used many of your ideas in my home!!
I’m in the process of painting the exterior of my home and wanted to ask you about the color of your front door. Is it black or dark blue? Do you by any chance remember the brand and name of the paint?
Thanks in advance, and have a wonderful summer!
Tina
My front door has an interesting story, Tina! It was supposed to be a slate gray, but I guess the color got mixed up and when we started painting it, it turned out this blue/gray. Serendipity! We love it. But I can’t tell you a color, sorry!
Hi Carmen. So happy you would like to subscribe. Go to my blog http://www.stonegableblog.com and look across from the words “STONEGABLE” at the top of the page.There is a gray box that says “FREE EMAIL UPDATES”. You can subscribe there. Hope this helps!
I actually asked about the wrong article – it was called White Dishes Farmhouse Style. I love those dishes and I’m really hoping you can tell me where you got them. They are more decorative than your Mikasa plates that are your “workhorse”.:) but I can’t find anything like them.
Hello. Just now found your site through pinterest. Love your decorating style! Could you please tell me where you got your white plates. They are beautiful.
Thank you
Heather
Hi there! Love your style! In your Christmas blog pictures on your foyer table is a metal and glass lamp that I just love; could you share where you purchased this at!
Hi Cyndee, If it’s a sit down dinner after everyone is seated and the wine is poured I usually remove all dishes if I am serving. I stack them on the counter until they are ready to be used. Hope this helps.
You have a beautiful farm house style home. I enjoy your decorating ideas, tips. I was wondering where you got the black rod with hooks in your kitchen? You have coffee cups hanging from the hooks.
Hi Alyssa, That table is a couple decades old. I can’t even remember where I got it. However I painted the base and the apron around the top. Sorry I can’t help you more.
Hi! I love love love your decorating tastes, I use your blog as a template for my own interior decorating! I was wondering wher you found that two tone ivory accent table in your living room??
I’m not sure I know what accent table you are talking about? I don’t have ivory accent tables in my living room. Can you send me the image and then I’ll be able to help you better.
I love the mini Indian corn wreath so much, I made four of them: 1 for myself, two as gifts, and someone asked me to make a fall wreath, so I sold one!).
However, it took weeks and a little frustration to find the mini corn. I never did find grade A. The B (maybe) was alright and the price was great, but I want to sell some next year, and I might hold a “class”, so I’ll need nice corn. Would you share your contact information for the Amish farm?
Thanks for sharing your idea. Oh, and you wouldn’t believe my shock when I noticed the medallion on your black front door–same exact medallion I have in MY black front door!! What a hoot! Thanks, again.
Just love the orange leaf bowls and plates in your fall table arrangement!! Would you mind sharing the maker/where you found them? Thanks for the inspiration!!!
I love all of your blog entries and appreciate the great advice given each time!!! Please share info about choosing the perfect coffee table. I am looking for a coffee table but only see osome I like in blogs and in magazines!!! I want to vignette ideas but I need the right table. My home is decorated in traditional and cottage style. Our family room has a sofa, two matching side chairs, a wicker chair , two door cabinet and side table but no coffee table. Help…sources would be appreciated.
Love the Indian corn wreath. Also took notice of the pineapple emblem on your front door and the color of the door. Can you share the color used and where you acquired the pineapple emblem?
Hi! I was in the Pinterest app and saw your farmhouse kitchen…serious love!
My question is: where could I get the galvanized divider bucket and the galvanized cart/trey?
Thanks in advance for your reply!
Heather P.
I get my galvanized metal items anywhere I can find them. The caddy came from our local Pottery Barn Outlet and the tray from a Barn sale that was local.
Hi I just wanted to say I love your posts and I am a farmhouse lover! I’m the owner operator of a new outdoor wedding venue in upstate South Carolina. It is located on 37 acres with a 1920’s Farm house. It is an amazing house with all the great architecture & would love for you to check out my website and see the photos and weddings we have had there. It was vacant for 7 years when we bought it a year ago July 2014. We knew it was special and wanted to share it with others! True Farm houses are few and far between! I was going to mention your blog in a quick post I’m doing about Farm house history & really just wanted to say hello & I think your blog is a great inspiration on farmhouse living & decor. I would love for others in my area to view it!
Hello!
I just found you on pinterest, and wanted to say that you have a lovely “eye”, your home is exquisite!
Thank you for sharing your paint colors, l am looking forward to reading more from your blog.
Thanks again,
Aphrodite (Dee) Turk Cottage Comforts
I love the wrought iron tiered bowl that you used to decorate Christmas decor/garland with (listed 2 years ago). Do you mind sharing where you find this awesome gem? I would love to have one like it in my kitchen for fruit.
Thank you!
Hi there
A friend who is a devoted follower sent me the link to join a few days ago. I tried several times but was unable to do so successfully. Can u add me to ur blog? I am a somewhat fanatic about decorating and other home tips. Thank you in advance and in Christian love,
Janice Gardner/New Mexico
Hi Lynette, you are all signed up. If you don’t get an email from me look in your “spam” folder”. Sometimes newsletter end up there. If you find it there just move it to your inbox. Thanks for subscribing!
I’ve been following your blog for quite a while and always check it each day. Love all your posts. I think I want to start using Thieves cleaner but was wondering if that is what you use to clean your floors.
I use Thieves on our hardwood floors. It works great!
I have subscribed for quite a while and look forward to your Sunday morning messages. I love this message about Amazing Grace. Is it possible for you to send this to me so that I can print it and share it with a member of my church family?
You can copy and print it right from your computer.
We just bought a home and I seem to recall you had an image posted of the front of your new home with grasses and hydrangeas, but I can’t seem to find it again. I love it and want to see if I can do something similar. Can you point me where I might find this again.
Hi Freddie, we had those grasses taken out. They were so messy. You can see the post you are asking about here:https://www.stonegableblog.com/welcome-to-the-tanglewood-house/
PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT THE SISAL RUG I SEE ON THE FLOOR IN THE FARMHOUSE. IT HASE THE ZEBRA RUG OVER IT. I HAVE HAD TWO SISAL RUGS ORDER AND DELIVERED SO FAR THAT I HAVE SENT BACK BECAUSE OF WORKMSANSHIP. PLEASE HELP/GUIDE ME. THANK YOU.
Hi! Here is the rug we have:https://rstyle.me/+KebIZ5gsc-zkFkiQe84h3A Sisal rugs are often hand made and they are made out of jute. They do not have the same workmanship as a woven rug. I don’t expect them to fall apart but I love their rustic artisan look.
I would like to put a glass on top of a beautiful art work should also serve as a mirror. I meant, if I get closer I see myself too. This frame will hang in my foyer. Plain mirror is boring. Pls help!
Hi Belle, I’ve never heard of this before. Search on Google. It sounds very interesting. Welcome to the StoneGable family.
Your home is absolutely beautiful and I love your decor ideas. The black, white and neutral floral throw pillows are unique. I mentioned that you bought the fabric a long time ago, but do you remember the manufacturer?
Thanks!
Joyce
Hi Joyce, I got the fabric but do not know the manufacturer. Sorry!
I was wondering where you got the three tiered end table?
Could you please tell me where you found the magazine basket next to the cream chair? love it! Thanks for the tips on mixing metals. I really enjoy your emails!
Hey Sharon can you tell me what room? I’m so glad you are enjoying StoneGable.
I can’t seem to find your Raw Apple Cake recipe.
Here you go:https://www.stonegableblog.com/the-best-apple-cake/
Hi . My name is Mary Ellis and I have been a fan for many years. I wanted to ask where you got your round table and upholstered chairs with brads and also the rug underneath it? Its beautiful! We are moving and I would like to “copy” your decor! Love …… Mary
Hi Mary, you can see the table here:https://rstyle.me/+yxd_AnUm2uMmu63FaRGNHg and the chairs here:https://www.birchlane.com/kitchen-dining/sb0/dining-chairs-c1805511.html?redir_sku=BL13754 and the rug here:https://rstyle.me/+-UX8bAV_8h20_no9ILyvTQ
Good Morning Yvonne,
I love your blog. It is so refreshing I look forward to your emails everyday!
Thank you,
Donna
Donna, thank you so much!
What is your favorite source for faux flowers?
I really don’t have one source Cheryl. I have a few local shops I like and Pottery Barn has gorgeous faux blooms as do some sources on Etsy.
Please, please repost your cinnamon toast biscotti recipe! I made it at Christmas, and my husband wants it again!
Thank you, Karen
Here you go, Karen. It’s so old I took the post down. Sorry! It’s back up just for you!
Love your ideas and inspirational messages. I’m looking for a repost of your herbed chicken salad. Ive seen several at other sites but love many of your recipes and this one will no longer pop up when searching. Would you consider reposting? I’m planning a ladies virtual tea and this looks wonderful, I’m planning to fill home made cream puffs. The whole tea will be an interesting challenge since I’m delivering all to my neighbors in decorated boxes and visiting on Webex! Thank you so much, Phyllis Lukens
Here you go:https://www.stonegableblog.com/herbed-chicken-salad/
Good Morning – I was looking for your recipe that was bow tie pasta with salmon/asparagus in a creamy sherry sauce. I have made it multiple times and absolutely love it. I am unable to locate that recipe on your blog. Would you be willing to share it with me as I am wanting to make it this evening for my family. Thank you Rosemarie
Hi Rosemary, here you go. Happy New Year
Good morning,
Enjoyed your blog as always while having my coffee this morning. My wheels are already turning about changes when take down all my Christmas stuff! 😊 still working on my living room update and love the picture taking idea. I’ve decided need a bar cart like yours. Hugs D
I love barcarts! They are so practical and pretty.
I love everything about this tree. Absolutely beautiful and I love the little white houses. Where can I purchase the houses. Thanks so much!
Hi Sharon, I made those houses. You can see where to get them and how to make them here: https://www.stonegableblog.com/little-christmas-house-diy/
Yvonne, the confirm subscription button is going to “Oops, this page doesn’t exist”.
Good morning and Merry Christmas week!! I was just reading Ann Sutton’s blog and she featured your post on a ” Tartan Brunch “. It was nothing short of STUNNING!!! I LOVE plaid and absolutely fell in love with your table setting! How creative and unique! I have always enjoyed all facets of decorating, I just don’t have the lifestyle or family to enjoy it. I pinned your post so that I may refer to it each Christmas season.
Let’s hope the world experiences a happier and safer New Year!!!
Denise V. Cox
Hi Denise! Thanks so much for heading over here from Ann’s beautiful blog. I am a tartan lover too! Merry Christmas!
Hello Yvonne:
A while back you had a post on the website about buying and using faux greens. You mentioned that there was a store in Lancaster (or somewhere nearby) where you purchased quality faux greens and flowers. I will be visiting Lancaster in the Spring for a weekend and would love to go to this shop if you could provide the name.
Thanks,
Shawn
Make sure you visit Cocalico Home on RT 30. It is amazing!
I’m not sure what those pinecones are. Give them a try. And let us know! I bet they would be beautiful. You might have to adjust the time the pinecones are in the bleach solution you don’t want to ruin the pinecones if the are papery.
does ALUM work for other fresh cut flowers
Alum works to keep the sap from clogging up and closing the ends of the stems. I’m not sure it works on all flowers. I see you are a florist so I defer to you.
Where did you find that 3 tiered small table at the end of your sofa? I have been looking for something to put at the end of my sofa and it looks to be perfect
Louisiana pinecones must be defective because I have tried this twice and nothing happened.
Yvonne, I just wanted to encourage you and let you know how much I appreciate your Sunday devotions that you post. I pray for you each week and for the ladies that will be reading them and ask God to bear much fruit from them. I also love your decorating style.
Grace and Peace, Sherry
THANK YOU! What a blessing to know you are praying for me and the other people reading the Sunday Scripture posts. God bless you!
Thanks so much for all the beautiful things you do and for the inspiration… may God bless you and your family
I look forward to your post each day
Laura Aycock
Thank you Laura!
Thank you for your uplifting blog and wonderful ideas. You have blessed my lonely life due to the Covid and living alone for the first time ever in 79 years as my husband passed away. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Love, joy and peace, Nancy B.
God bless you Nancy! Happy Thanksgiving.
Yvonne,
I love your cozy round table. The snow was a perfect touch. May I ask what type snow/brand you used? I have been unable to find anything like it.
Best wishes,
Debbie
Yes, this is the best snow. I’ve tried all kinds and nothing is as pretty as it. Find it here: https://rstyle.me/+XwVXse_rMoI5jqfUGlhftg
Hi Yvonne. I happened on your blog today and started looking at your Fall Home Tour. I really enjoyed seeing all the beautiful touches you added to each room. I have a question: where did you get the window treatments in your sunroom? The fabric is something I would like to have hanging in my front entrance windows. Thanks for the tour. You have a beautiful house and your decorating style is right up my alley.
Sincerely, Carlotta
Hi Carlotta, the curtains came from Ballard Designs. You can see them here:https://fave.co/2HVclVQ
I love this photo! Do you know where it came from? I’d like to use it in a Facebook or Instagram post.

Hi Kae, it’s my image. You can use it with a link back to my site.
Where did you find the beautiful mirror over the mantel? Thank you.
Hi Kathy, I found the mirror at HomeGoods.
Every week my daily emails from Yvonne do not arrive in my email.
I subsequently resubscribe each week.
Please recheck from your end and see if there is a problem.
Sherry
Hi Sherry, you are fine on my end. It’s probably how you have your email set up. Things like daily newsletters are often flagged and go into your spam or trash. If you find one in your spam or trash folder just add it to your inbox and then they should start coming there. Or better yet, add my email address to your contact list.
Hope you find this helpful.
Hello. I just found your link by searching for washer/clothing issues and ran across home made laundry detergent. Yours was recommended, but when I researched, it was not listed any longer.
Would you please email me your recipe for home made laundry detergent. Would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,
Elaine Schichtle
g.e@windstream.net
Hi, Elaine I no longer have that laundry detg.posted. It was a very old post. Sorry if this inconvenienced you.
In your blog, “HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST ACCENT CHAIR”, there is an accent chair depicted in the first photo – white with blue floral, I was hoping to find out the link in which it can be found. Please share. Thank you.
Hi Yvette, It is from Pottery Barn.Check there. Hope this helps.
Yvonne, the kitchen is so beautiful. I am hoping you will share all of the details/ sources. I am thinking about a kitchen reno so it would be helpful…… Thanks Marjorie
I’m so looking forward to sharing every detail of the kitchen. When everyone is out of my home and it is put back together I’ll be sharing it!
Your Tanglewood Home is beautifully decorated for fall.
Please share where you purchased the bleached fall wreaths & faux seed pods.
Thank you.
Deborah
Hi Deborah I found them locally. I am trying to source them.
Yvonne, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your Sunday writings. I wish you would have them all put into a book. You have blessed my life in so many ways by what you share from the Word and from your heart. I pray that God continues to bless you as you bless others.
I just love your decorating style!! Where oh where did you get the black/tiger stripped table?? I absolutely love it!!
Hi Sue, I found it at HomeGoods. At the time I had no idea what I was going to do with it. So it sat in my basement for a long time and then one day when I was down there I rediscovered it and put it in one of the guest bedrooms.
Do you have the instructions for making the corn cob wreath you just post? It’s beautiful!
Yes, the post is in the body of the post. Hope this helps.
Hi! LOVE your style!
Where can I purchase the mustard bedding and accessories?
Thank You!
Hi Brenda, Isn’t that a striking duvet cover? You can go here and see all the sourced items in my bedroom:https://www.stonegableblog.com/master-bedroom/
Thank you Yvonne for sharing your kitchen renos. So interesting to hear your reasons for the changes that you made. Awesome!
Hi Tracy, when we were considering moving to StoneGable one of my conditions was the kitchen would need to be made over. Our home is very open and this kitchen can be seen from so many other living spaces. And it did not fit into my style, colors etc. Since we did not build our Tanglewood home we needed to make it ours.
I love your decorating style! Gorgeous home!
I vote to take the curtains down. I do not think the windows look bare at all.
I love the jute/sisal rug. Wait and put the zebra rug back in the room in the fall.
Hi Yvonne,
I love your office. I too have been decorating my office and am trying to find a natural looking desk like yours for some time now. Is your desk available to purchase from a company? If not, if you have a direction to look, I would greatly appreciate it.
Take care.
Sharon
Hi Sharon, I found them locally and will try to find a source!
I really need someone’s opinion on whether I should purchase a new sofa, or have our like new 25 year old Pennsylvania House camel back sofa reupholstered. It has been virtually unused in a formal living room for all these years, so it is in perfect condition. I was wondering what your take is on having it done as some of the furniture quality today is not that great. That, plus it seems a shame to simply dispose of it . We still like the style, and will be downsizing and it would become the main sofa in our new living room. I think what is holding me back is wondering how it will turn out after it’s done. Help!
Hi Lyn, if you reread your question I think you will find the answer. It sounds like you don’t want to really part with it. If you love it and recovering it won’t cost more than a new sofa (I’ve done that) then recover it. My best advice is to keep it light and neutral!
Our views on furniture have changed. We used to go to the local furniture store and buy very expensive, well-made furniture that would last the rest of our lives… or almost. Now, with the onset of the internet and lots of online sources for furniture that are good quality but not maybe as good as the things we bought years ago, we have options.
We no longer have to keep a piece of furniture for 25 years or more! We can buy something that will last for 10 or 7 or even less.
Here is something I hope all home decorators will remember… SPEND ACCORDING TO THE YEARS YOU ARE WILLING TO LIVE WITH SOMETHING! The longer you need to live with a piece of furniture the more you should spend to get the quality.
Lyn, you hit on a very good point and one I so strongly believe in… LIVE WITH WHAT YOU LOVE!
I know it might be hard to picture what something will look like when it is done, but keep it light and neutral and you will be okay! Hope this helps. Please send me a picture of the sofa you choose!
Hi, Yvonne. I’ve enjoyed your blog for many years! Did you re-do the kitchen at Tanglewood yet? I couldn’t find a post about it… I got behind in my blog reading and wondered if I missed it?
Thanks,
Jackie
Hi Jackie, the makeover begins on July 21st! We had to roll back the start date because of the Covid virus. I’ll be sharing how it looks now and the 3D plans for it in a couple weeks. And I’ll be sharing lots of posts and Instagram stories about the progress.
Great! Thanks. We just moved into our house last year, and I had to put a lot on the back burner due to Covid (paint, kitchen, etc.), so I understand! I’m hoping to get the kitchen done soon… I’m still trying to decide on a few things, so looking forward to seeing what you do!
Demolition starts July 22nd!
Where did the large cream colored clock come from?
Hi Marsha. The clock has gone through quite a transformation. I found it on a sale (big sale) at Kohls about 8 years ago. Then I painted it. You can see how I painted it here:https://www.stonegableblog.com/upscaling-and-rescuing-things-you-love/
Hi Yvonne, I love your home and all your decorating tips. The tile in your foyer is beautiful. How do you keep it and the grout so clean?
Thanks
Hi Susan, I’m thrilled you are enjoying StoneGable. I just was the floors with Young Living Oil’s Thieves. I’ve never had tile floors before and I’m not sure I love them. We have not done anything with the grout yet. I’d like to clean it and then seal it.

Hi, Yvonne…I’m hoping you can tell me the color Gray of your front door. My husband and I purchased a spec house in Loudon, TN was it was partially complete and I’m having a hard time working the white windows in with the color exterior we chose. It’s a Fiberglass front door with wood frame and we’re painting the frame white. This color gray will work well with the partial stone. Any help would be appreciated. Your home is beautiful.
Hi Kimberly, I call this door color “Puddy”. It’s not gray but a very interesting bisque with almost a greenish tint.
We are not sure. We moved to our Tanglewood home 8 months ago. The door was already painted. I’m trying to find a source and when I do I’ll make sure to post it.
Hello!!!
So enjoy and appreciate your talents. Everything is just beautiful.
I’m inquiring on the two round pieces you have above side tables. One.. your large round clock and the two piece round mirror? Can I asked where you found these? Been on the lookout for sometime now. I do remember you painting the clock frame? Not necessarily where you found it.
Like many others, I am no longer receiving your e mails. Please add me back onto your list.
I’m so happy to add you back to the list.
Love your site. Would you add me to your subscription list?
Yes, of course!!! Thanks!
Hi
For some reason I’m not getting emails for Stone gable any more. Could you please add me back on your emails! I enjoy reading your blog with my tea in the morning! Dmoraris@aol.com
Thank you Denise
Hi Yvonne, I have not been receiving your newsletter for about two weeks. I had been getting it daily – I have checked my spam mail but nothing there either. Would you put me back on the list please! I miss my daily inspiration. Thank you
Please subscribe me to your website/blog. Thank you!
Hi Faye, I just subscribed you! Thanks for reading StoneGable!

Hi Yvonne,
It was wonderful meeting you in the Pottery Barn Outlet today. You mentioned I could email you for decorating tips and suggestions for some additional sites that might aligned with my transitional (with a gray base) style. I look forward to connnecting. My email is below.
All the best,
Janelle
Hi Janelle! Why don’t you send me some images!!!!
I’d like to subscribe to your blog. I’ve all your podcast.
I can do that for you Janette.
Is it better to do aging of galvanized metal in the sun or will I get the same result in my garage?
The more galvanized metal is exposed to the elements the faster the process will go.
Hello!! I just discovered your blog on blue and white decor. I love your photos! I have always wanted my home to be decorated in these colors sadly O have a husband who works outdoors (oilfield) and two sons so white, cream, off-white… are never going to happen. But I paint! I was wondering if you took the photos yourself or a professional photographer did. If you did I would love permission to paint from some of them. You can view my work on FB or my website (added below). Thank you!
Hi Susan, I do take my own photography. Email me about what images you would like to use.
Hello, I love your home. Its so put together and I love all the “finds” you find at little stores. I’m going to be in the strasburg area and I was wondering if you could share with me some good home/consignment stores to check out?
Hi! I have been trying to sign up for your news letters but it keeps saying I am already signed up. If so, why aren’t I getting them. Please reinstate my subscription. Thank you soooo much!
HI Ronnie, I bet the StoneGable newsletters are going to your spam folder. Look there and then move just one to your inbox and the newsletters should start coming there. I’m so happy you signed up for the newsletters. There is so much great info in them!
Hi, I love your Instagram and Pinterest. Also always look forward to getting your newsletter. I was on another website and saw a pic posted from your website but there isn’t a link and I can’t find it on your site. It is two square galvanized planters on your porch. Do you mine sharing where you got those? Thanks!
Hi JoAnn! Thanks so much for the nice compliment! Those galvanize planters came from Target about 6 years ago.
Hello,
I really enjoy your website. Your home is just beautiful and I love your design. Recently you posted some blue and white fishbowl planters on your front porch. I am obsessed with these and have been looking all over to purchase some. I find that they are outrageously expensive. Do you have a recommendation for me as to where to purchase these at a reasonable price? They are not very easy to find.
Thank you
Darla
Darla, Those fishbowl planters can be very pricey. I have a few there that are quite reasonable: http://rstyle.me/~9X9VD, http://rstyle.me/~9X9VU, http://rstyle.me/~9X9WL. Make sure to look at the sizes because they are different. The larger the fishbowl the more expensive.
Another suggestion would be to look in vintage shops. They are much less expensive. Hope this helps.
Good morning.
I just wanted to tell you that I love your blog! I discovered it several years ago because of your tablescape postings around Easter time and have enjoyed it ever since. I follow you via Facebook and love waking up each day to see your posts.
Thank you for curating and sharing such a beautiful and inspiring blog site.
Cheers,
Kelley
Kelley, thank you so so much! It’s so nice to hear from you!

Hello. The bedside table ( black with gold zebra top) in your guest bedroom is beautiful and unique. Would you mind sharing where you got this? I’m looking for something like that for my guest bedroom.
Thank you!!
HI Amy, I found the table at HomeGoods years ago. It would be so easy to paint if you found an old small table.
Please subscribe me to your blog/website! I have came across your blog from others and just love your style and tips!

Thanks for your attention, and thanks for all of your time, energy, thoughts, and prayers on our behalf. You are appreciated!

Wondering where you found the Easter eggs you used in the vase? So pretty!

Hi just wondering where you suggest getting a dough bowl. I thought you have suggested before but I can not locate where I thought I saw it. Thanks for any help you can give me!
Here’s a lovely dough bowl: http://rstyle.me/n/cjcrtrb6by7
Dough bowls are an investment but so worth it!
Hello!
I don’t know how I originally came across Stonegable, but I love your blog, your style and your podcast!
Wondering if you have any input for those of us who have (some) stained woodwork/furniture in our homes? We have a country home on 5 acres and all of our trim is white EXCEPT for our kitchen and family room. 20 years ago when we purchased and remodeled this house and were installing a custom kitchen, we felt like white cabinets were probably a trend and went with stained Hickory. Clearly, white was not just a trend! Our very nice and quite expensive custom cabinetry is still in excellent condition and there is no plan to change them. The woodwork in that entire area is stained an early American brown, and we have newer granite countertops. I was listening the other day to your podcast #3 about trends. When we did this house, we decided that traditional wood would always be in style while colors would probably come and go. But now 20 years later, here we are! Can you offer any “hope”
or suggestions for me and others like me?
Thanks so much!
Hi Paula, Stained woodwork is also a classic and has a lovely warm feel. But if you don’t like your stained woodwork you could paint it. That would mean sanding them and then priming and painting… a lot of work. Or you can replace them. I think those are the only options. You might try painting or replacing one room and see how you like it and if it’s worth changing your entire home.
I’d love to know what you decide.
Hi Yvonne,
I’m very much enjoying your podcast and I wanted to make a comment about your adjustable bed and the problem you are having with your bottom sheet untucking. My mother bought a similar bed st Sleep Train, and at the time she also purchased 2 sets of sheets specifically designed for the adjustable bed. they were quite expensive but they were perfect! The bottom sheet was fitted but also had elastic straps that kept the sheet in place. ( I’m using past tense because my mother has since passed away and I donated her wonderful bed and sheets to another person who needed the adjustable bed). I think if you invested in a set of these sheets your problem would be solved!
I love your blog! How can I sign up for emails?

I saw your coffee Station and love love the vintage daily grind metal sign.
I do not see any comment on where you purchased it…
Would you please share that info.
My bestie would really enjoy that.
Thanks so much for all your info, input and efforts.
Much appreciated
Hi Anet, Thanks for joining our StoneGable family! The Daily Grind sign came from a local shop and they don’t ship. Sorry I can’t help you more!
I love all the wreath ideas!
Hi I was hoping you could tell me how you did the Paris Grey buffet? I can’t figure out if you did a white wax or maybe a whitewash over the paint. I would love to get you tips as I am just starting out in the fun adventure of painting furniture!
Here’s a tutorial for you! http://www.stonegableblog.com/paris-grey-buffet-tutorial/
Dear Friend,
I’m so sorry you still are having pain. My prayers are with you! I want to wish you sweetly scented spring days and a rapid recovery.
Sincerely,
Karen Podany

Thank you
Patti – Austin TX
Hi Patti, I found that duvet at my local Pottery Barn outlet.

Hello,
Your new farmhouse buffet is gorgeous! Could you please tell me where you got the olive jar and the lamp ?
Thank you
Hi Rachel, I found the Olive Jar lamp at my local Pottery Barn outlet.
Hello! I’m wondering if you have a recommendation for area rug pads. I’ve read various internet articles disparaging several different types but can’t find consensus on what is really best. I have hardwood floors I’m anxious to protect as well as to pad the rugs.
Thanks for any advice.
Hi Jennifer, I don’t feel I have researched rug pads to be able to give you the best advice. I would probably call a rug dealer and talk to them. I hope this helps. Happy New Year from StoneGable!
I love the three wall mirrors in your foyer in your Christmas Foyer post. Is that a set that you purchased or did you randomly find 3 similar mirrors?
Hi Julie I made them out of ceiling medallions. So so easy to make. Here’s the tutorial: http://www.stonegableblog.com/beautiful-painted-medallion-mirror-diy/
P.S. Quick design question:
What do you think about floor lamps in a living room? Yay or nay? I have mixed feelings about mine, they don’t really seem classic, I guess. It is a newer Roth + Allen floor lamp from Lowes. But I think it may be outdated already.
Thank you for your time.
Hello there,
I just adore your blog. I really appreciate the relative and fresh content. I have revisited many of your posts over and over again, particularly on hosting guests, cooking and finding you’re decor style. You have my dream home 😉
We currently live in a rental home in a new city & state where my husband took a pastorate in November.
I’m looking forward to the decorating journey, working within the rental limitations.
As with any move, I am finding some decor no longer working and sensing a shift in my design style. Do you offer any design consultations? Your look is so classic, yet fresh and casually elegant. All your rooms look pulled together so well. Maybe a post on the essentials of a well put together room?
Keep up the great work. I admire you, your style and your lovely Stonegable.
I love your stocking hanging method for the mantle. Such a wonderful idea!
Hello, how do I sign up to your blog? I would love to read all your posts and inspirations!
Audrey, I’ll sign you up!Thanks for subscribing to my newsletter.
What brand is the black/brown chairs with the round farmhouse table? I love them!!!
You can find the chairs here: http://rstyle.me/~8SZab . Remember the price is for 2 chairs. Hope this helps.
I wonder where the hen lamp came from in the dining room in the Christmas post I just love it!!!! Thanks kathy
Hi Kathy,
That hen lamp has stood the test of time. I probably have had it 20 years or so!It came from a little boutique shop in Vienna Va. I’m sorry I can’t point you to a source to find it.
Hope you have a very happy Thanksgiving!
I love the white ironstone lids you have hanging above your buffet. Could you share how you hung them?
Thanks!
Here’s a post that will show you how! http://www.stonegableblog.com/the-best-way-to-hang-plates-on-a-wall-without-wires-or-magic/

Yvonne,
First of all congratulations on the grand baby! They are wonderful and truly a blessing. I love your blog; God has given you the gift of color and design for sure. I also live in Lancaster county. (The Buck to be exact). Actually it was funny you mentioned you know what goes on at the Buck because my husband pulls there. I look forward to your daily newsletters.
God bless you and your family and just so you know Christmas will never be the same now with your new little love. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and CHRISTmas.

Hi–just read & so enjoyed your post re: “10 Great Tips About White Dishes,” along w/all the great comments; all very helpful & inspiring as I embark on undertaking a major overhaul of our table service. However, maybe I missed some info. but even in your linked article I couldn’t find a maker/pattern name for the 5 stacked cream bowls w/a “deckled” edge in the middle of the photo above pt. 5–I really love them; can you help me out on this? Thanks, Linda

What size Indian corn did you use for the wreath? 3-4″ or 4-5″ or larger??
Thank you
Hi Kathy. I used the smaller mini Indian corn.
Can you tell me where to find the hare pic above the bed in one of your Christmas posts? I tried to attach the screenshot, but can’t. I saw it on Pinterest.
Hi Christina, I found the long rabbit in the blue and white guest room at a local shop. I’ve not seen it anywhere else. Sorry!
Love the pumpkin pillow
This is a great blog, but I especially enjoy your Sunday comments…thank you!
Hi. Could you tell me where you purchased the items in your posting, “BOXWOOD WREATH IN THE FOYER AND A GIVEAWAY!”. I love it all! Thanks.
Hi Liz, wow that’s quite a list… the mirror came from Ballard Design, desk from World Market, clock from Pottery Barn Outlet, the lamp from HomeGoods, I made the lampshade, the chair from Ethan Allen, the garden stool from Ballard Design, the big basket from HomeGoods. Hope this helps!
Good Morning , I just adore your blog!!

Congratulation, Julie! I’m thrilled for you! You can find my paint colors in this post: http://www.stonegableblog.com/tips-for-interior-paint-colors/
Is there any way to send you an email?
Yes, yvonne@stonegableblog.com
First and upmost, I love your blog, newsletter and decorating ideas and tips that you give us from your very own personal collection, it has given me the repurpose eye even more for my own items before I invest in more. I am getting ready to distress my black urns for Fall and will send you a pic when complete if you’d like?! We are growing pumpkins this year for the first time and already having great success. My husband is so excited! I already have my Fall plan!
Now a question I have, where is a good place to find the items to make your vingettes on your tables, counters etc. I group my fav things together without on coffee table, breakfast island without it, would like one for Fall!
We have so many herbs, my husband brings me bouquets, or whatever there is an obundance of to use as a floral bouquet with my vignettes in Kitch. Green and fragrant! I am also getting ready to do your herb freezer cubes, thank you! You must of known I needed that! Thank you so much again! Love to you and family!
Jacqueline, I love that you are already thinking about fall and planning. As far as finding things for a vignette I usually “shop my house”. We all have books, so start there. Use them as risers. Did you see my post on covering books with burlap? Those covered books make a fabulous item for vignettes. You can see the post here: http://www.stonegableblog.com/how-to-cover-a-book-with-burlap/. I’ll be making a decorative orb in August. Look for the post. These orbs are such nice additions to a vignette. Thanks for being part of the StoneGable family!!!!
I love the color you chose for your walls. They look quite sunny and cheerful. What colors did you use? I’m remodeling my home and I can’t find the right color to use to get the same affect. I chose a neutral but I think its just too dark. Lovely home.
Hi Chirstine, how fun that you are remodeling! You can find the paint color here: http://www.stonegableblog.com/tips-for-interior-paint-colors/. Hope this helps!

Hi! I was wondering if your backsplash is tile or wood? Im looking to do wainscoting in my kitchen, but am not sure how wood works with grease etc. Thank you so much!!!
Hi Verna, The backsplash is beadboard which is wood. Hope this helps.
I love your blue front door. I hope you will share with me and others the brand and paint color you used. Thank you.
Hi Magdalena,
The front door color was a serendipitous mistake. We thought we were getting gray, but when we got home the paint was blue. I have no idea what the paint store mixed. The door must be repainted this summer and we will try to match it. Stop by sometime this summer and I’ll be doing a post about the new and hopefully closely matched door color.
Please add me to your email list.
Thank you
Where did you get that mirror in your foyer?? Love it! Am looking for something like that!
Hi Jessica,

Nancy, I’ll do that for you!
Hi Yvonne,
Everything you do is beautiful! You have inspired me, and I have used many of your ideas in my home!!
I’m in the process of painting the exterior of my home and wanted to ask you about the color of your front door. Is it black or dark blue? Do you by any chance remember the brand and name of the paint?
Thanks in advance, and have a wonderful summer!
Tina
My front door has an interesting story, Tina! It was supposed to be a slate gray, but I guess the color got mixed up and when we started painting it, it turned out this blue/gray. Serendipity! We love it. But I can’t tell you a color, sorry!
How can Inget a hold of you? I would like to ask you a question.
Thank you

I actually asked about the wrong article – it was called White Dishes Farmhouse Style. I love those dishes and I’m really hoping you can tell me where you got them. They are more decorative than your Mikasa plates that are your “workhorse”.:) but I can’t find anything like them.
Here’s what I know about these dishes: http://www.stonegableblog.com/5-questions-you-asked-stonegable-2/. The other dishes are from the same company. Hope this helps!
Will you please tell me what size you used for the square fluted sugar cookie and where to purchase the cookie cutter. Thanks!
Hello. Just now found your site through pinterest. Love your decorating style! Could you please tell me where you got your white plates. They are beautiful.
Thank you
Heather
Hi Heather, Welcome to the StoneGable family! I get my white plates anywhere I can find them. HomeGoods is a great source. Here is a post about them if you are interested: http://www.stonegableblog.com/10-great-tips-about-white-dishes/
Hi Yvonne,
Hi love the glass lamp you have in your foyer. Can you tell me where you purchased?
Hi Lisa, The lamp came from our local Pottery Barn Outlet.
Hi there! Love your style! In your Christmas blog pictures on your foyer table is a metal and glass lamp that I just love; could you share where you purchased this at!
Hi Yvonne, great name! The lamp in my foyer came from our Local Pottery Barn outlet. Hope this helps.
What dishes do you remove when guest sit down to dine? Does the salad plate remain atop the stack? I love your designs!
Hi Cyndee, If it’s a sit down dinner after everyone is seated and the wine is poured I usually remove all dishes if I am serving. I stack them on the counter until they are ready to be used. Hope this helps.
You have a beautiful farm house style home. I enjoy your decorating ideas, tips. I was wondering where you got the black rod with hooks in your kitchen? You have coffee cups hanging from the hooks.
Hi Heidi, the rod with the coffee mugs on it came from Ikea! Very inexpensive!
Thank you. Keep the Scoops coming. Enjoy your Biblical post also.

I love the mini Indian corn wreath so much, I made four of them: 1 for myself, two as gifts, and someone asked me to make a fall wreath, so I sold one!).
However, it took weeks and a little frustration to find the mini corn. I never did find grade A. The B (maybe) was alright and the price was great, but I want to sell some next year, and I might hold a “class”, so I’ll need nice corn. Would you share your contact information for the Amish farm?
Thanks for sharing your idea. Oh, and you wouldn’t believe my shock when I noticed the medallion on your black front door–same exact medallion I have in MY black front door!! What a hoot! Thanks, again.
Pamela, Indian corn is abundant in Lancaster County. Any grocery store carries it as well. The Amish greenhouses have no phone or internet. Sorry!
Just love the orange leaf bowls and plates in your fall table arrangement!! Would you mind sharing the maker/where you found them? Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Hi Cindi, they came from HomeGoods
I love all of your blog entries and appreciate the great advice given each time!!! Please share info about choosing the perfect coffee table. I am looking for a coffee table but only see osome I like in blogs and in magazines!!! I want to vignette ideas but I need the right table. My home is decorated in traditional and cottage style. Our family room has a sofa, two matching side chairs, a wicker chair , two door cabinet and side table but no coffee table. Help…sources would be appreciated.
I have so many vignette ideas. Look at “home and garden” and “tablescapes” to see them on my blog.
I would like to receive your emails/blog.
Love the Indian corn wreath. Also took notice of the pineapple emblem on your front door and the color of the door. Can you share the color used and where you acquired the pineapple emblem?
We got that years ago in Charleston.
Hi Yvonne,
Can you please share what colors you have used in your home? And also the color on your buffet in your dining room?
Thank you!! ?
Stacey
Hi! I was in the Pinterest app and saw your farmhouse kitchen…serious love!
My question is: where could I get the galvanized divider bucket and the galvanized cart/trey?
Thanks in advance for your reply!
Heather P.
I get my galvanized metal items anywhere I can find them. The caddy came from our local Pottery Barn Outlet and the tray from a Barn sale that was local.
Yvonne! Where did you get the gold bedding you have in your guest room!? It is gorgeous and would be perfect in mine! (Can I copy you!?)?
HI ELIZABETH, The gold duvet cover and shams came from our local Pottery Barn Outlet several years ago.
Hi I just wanted to say I love your posts and I am a farmhouse lover! I’m the owner operator of a new outdoor wedding venue in upstate South Carolina. It is located on 37 acres with a 1920’s Farm house. It is an amazing house with all the great architecture & would love for you to check out my website and see the photos and weddings we have had there. It was vacant for 7 years when we bought it a year ago July 2014. We knew it was special and wanted to share it with others! True Farm houses are few and far between! I was going to mention your blog in a quick post I’m doing about Farm house history & really just wanted to say hello & I think your blog is a great inspiration on farmhouse living & decor. I would love for others in my area to view it!
Yvonne,
Do you have a tutorial on the plate apron rack? I just love it and have a place waiting for my own version. Thanks.
It’s going to be in my book.
Hello!
I just found you on pinterest, and wanted to say that you have a lovely “eye”, your home is exquisite!
Thank you for sharing your paint colors, l am looking forward to reading more from your blog.
Thanks again,

Welcome to the StoneGable family, Aphrodite!
I love the wrought iron tiered bowl that you used to decorate Christmas decor/garland with (listed 2 years ago). Do you mind sharing where you find this awesome gem? I would love to have one like it in my kitchen for fruit.
Thank you!
Hi Shelly, I found it at HomeGoods. I’ve seen ones like it now and then.
