  6. Barbara Lipari says:

    I used Classic Gray by BM (the SW equivalent is Oyster White) in my whole house. It’s really white with a ‘hint’ of gray. I love it!

  7. I enjoy your blog. Your tip to keep the whole house in the same color scheme is right on the mark! I find it soothing to have consistency from room to room and when you want a change it is easy to shop another room… and it all looks brand new without dropping a boatload of cash. But, its occasionally nice to get a little something new, with say, perhaps a gift card??? LOL LOL Thank you

  8. Beth Weaver says:

    I love Yvonne & Stonegable!
    You have made such an impact on my decorating . I now have more comfort & enjoyment while decorating! And I’ve learned not to buy everything I love at Homegoods! ?

    1. I laughed out loud when I read your comment about HomeGoods! We both learned that lesson.

      1. Ha! Y’all are too funny. Learned that lesson as well, “what was I thinking”?

    I found this site by accident and it has helped me IMMENSELY with decorating my new house! We just moved across states, which is daunting in and of itself, but I’ve never owned a new-build house. Starting from scratch is a bit overwhelming! I am very thoughtful now about what colors I choose, what goes where, etc.

    More importantly, I read every Sunday blog that Yvonne posts, as I’ve recently found God again in my life after many years. Yvonne has such such thoughtful, loving commentary and it has helped me to re-learn how to interpret the Bible. If nothing else, I am forever grateful for her in this respect.

    1. Oh STACEY!!!!! This is THE BEST COMMENT EVER! I know God has blessed me with this blog to show Jesus to all who read StoneGable. Oh, praise God for finding our loving Father again! God bless you to know Him and His Son more and more! Your comment brought me to tears!

    Thanks for being so open with your ideas and feelings!

  255. I just love whites, they’re so fresh and relaxing. My most favorite is SW Alabaster, I used it on all my trim work. I do use just a little bit of color on my walls. I really need to paint it on some walls so day soon. Thanks for all your posts they give me a lot of info and ideas and personal healing also.❤

  256. Karen Webb says:

    I first saw an article on Stonegable in a magazine that I picked up from my daughters coffee table. That was in 2019. I searched the index to find out what paint color you used (BM Simply White). I proceeded to redecorate my entire house based on your examples and ideas including kitchen, bedroom and baths. With Covid rampant it took a while but I am now finished and loving my home!! Thank you Yvonne!

  257. amy macfarlane says:

  266. Yvonne, Yay! Congratulations on the 300. I accidentally stumbled upon your blog several years ago & now find myself always anxiously waiting for your next awe-inspiring post.

You’re amazing! I don’t know how you do it all.

  267. Debbie E. says:

    Congratulations on reaching 300! Definitely a milestone!

    Hello dear. I always read and enjoy the HSS blogs! You, in particular, are inspiring to me and I do so appreciate your words of wisdom. Thank you. Sandi

  273. I love your theory on color and have learned more from your blog than other decorating books. I have always loved beige and when everyone went grey I just knew beige would be back!! I love color more so as got older I felt more confident to go brighter! I also enjoy your Sunday posts and saved one to read to my grandchildren!

  274. Victoria Ksenyak says:

    I love your blog and really like the ideas, inspiration and links!

  282. Congrats on #300! I love your blog, Yvonne. Thanks for all the inspiration. ❤️ How sweet of you to offer this special giveaway. Blessings!

  283. It is so much fun watching you decorate your new home. It is interesting to me how you choose what to slowly edit from your previous home and what you keep. When I redecorate that is always hard for me. Paid good money, liked it when I bought it, and I should make it work. You have given me the courage to let some things go and replace with something more appropriate for new look. Thank you. Your Sunday posts are my favorite. Vicky

  288. Thank you for all of your hard work. I have learned so much from your blog. I am starting to see the wisdom of having a “tight” color palette in my home. Oh what a difference just a few small changes have made.

  289. Congratulations on your 300th! Always enjoy the wonderful design information you share! Thank you!

  290. I’m always blessed to read your blog. I’m thankful that you approach everything from the background as a lover of Jesus.

  291. Thank you for your kind and caring blog, I love it!

  292. Marie Empringham says:

    I continue to enjoy your blog as well as the others and read them daily. However, what speaks to me most, Yvonne, is your spiritual wisdom. The recent calendar to pray for your husband is something I had not considered and will put it into practise. I shared your calendar with my daughter-in-law, who was very pleased.

    With thanks and kindest regards, Marie

  297. Yvonne, I have been following your blog for a few years now. It has really helped me to define my style in home decor and I enjoy not only trying out some of your craft projects but also following your decor suggestions and organizing ideas. I live in a small one bedroom apartment but one of my greatest joys is changing up the decor seasonally and your blog has helped me to refine and define my style.. I check in every night after work. Thanks for hours now of pleasurable reading

  301. Lynn Sinapi Matsko says:

    Starting a major “refresh” of our home! Started last fall with paint choices- your blog has been so helpful since I chose white paint. Easy right? Ha! Glad to read and re-read about choosing a white palette. Now I’m not afraid to tweak that white color. A white choice in one room can look completely different in another. Thank you for all the information, hints and discussions of your mistakes!

  302. Dennie Brooks says:

    I read the blogs from you girls every day. I get so many great ideas. They keep your mind fresh with ideas for my home.
    I am in the process of moving from western New York to Florida and my mind races with what to do with the items I have collected over the years. I now realize I will not have room for all of them. I have learned from Yvonne’s downsizing to her Townhome a few years ago. She also just visited my area’s wineries. That was fun to read as well. Thanks for all your hard work to produce these blogs

  303. Cyndy Brooks says:

    Home Goods is the best!

  304. I’m building a new small home and have relied on your expertise on decorating I so love the clean lines and suggested guidelines that you post each week.

  311. Love all the beautiful ideas – Yvonne – where did you get the three candlesticks on your table? Love

  312. Congratulations on 300 posts! I have enjoyed “walking” with you as you learn how to decorate your new home through trial and error. It is refreshing to know that it doesn’t all just happen at once with no mistakes. It can be disheartening to see the final product and imagining that it all came together without any bumps in the road. Always look forward to your posts!

My guest bedroom now has a great summer look which I’m liking very much! Yvonne, you were right about reds and pinks complimenting a neutral space
    Prior to reading your blogs, I had operation hodgepodge going on in my home! Now I have direction, and decorating knowledge while I continue to make a cohesive beautiful home!

    Yvonne,when I read your blog, it reminds me so much of my own interests: faith, family, food, and a happy home! In fact I am making 4 of your meals this week!! A definite step up to what I typically make! So far what I have made from your previous recipes have been great including my favorites, the Tuscan Chicken and your potato salad. So delicious! You have no idea how you have impacted me eventho we have never met, but now we have so much in common thanks to your blog!

    Thank you Yvonne!

    Thank you for sharing your expertise with those of us who love beauty but do not always know how to best achieve a good final result. Thus far, my foyer, living room, and dining room are Simply White and I’m slowly transitioning to the home of my dreams (a quite simple home actually, but elegant in the invitation it offers our family and friends). Thank you also for including your Sunday devotional study. I eagerly look forward to each one. I too am a follower of Jesus and want my light to shine in all I do. By the way, I’m an artist (oil painting), so beauty is what has drawn me to your site. Thank you.

I will be selling my painstakingly-designed house soon and have yet to find my next happy place that goes beyond decorating to set the stage for me to create my ideal lifestyle. Your Sunday messages are special, and not only lift my spirits but are Bible based. I have forwarded them to friends. Huge thanks for all your work and sharing.You make us readers feel a part of your and Bobby’s family.
