I joined Instagram back in the Spring and since then I have been introduced to an entire new world of eye candy. It is a world where people who have a love for decorating but do not blog enjoy sharing their homes. Today I want to introduce you to Trinity Holmes from c.1934 over on Instagram. As soon as I saw a pic of her dining room I was hooked. I knew I had to ask Trinity if she would like to stop by and share her style with us. I was excited when she agreed. |
I was addicted to hunting and finding unique one of a kind pieces to fill my home. And of course I still am. It really has just evolved from there.
I would say my most treasured find is an old church pew that sits at the foot of my bed. It was a phenomenal price and it has all the patina, crackling, and alligatored paint that only age can create.
I know it's been said over and over again, and it gets a bit redundant or cliche, but fill your home with the things that YOU love.
It's easy to go on Pinterest and Instagram these days and find something beautiful and think that's what you want to have in your house. The problem I find is that can lead to a room looking mismatched and confusing. You will know when something is truly your taste.
If you see something that moves you, whether it be a piece of furniture, a painting, an old tool box or something as simple as a beautiful plate...buy it. Too many times I have walked away from something like that and have always thought about the "one that got away".
Thank you so much Trinity for stopping by to share with us your home. I look forward to following along with you on Instagram. |
Oh my goodness, what an awesome home and gorgeous style! Everything is truly collected but so perfect together. I am in love with the mirror turned chalkboard and plates all around it. Great find Pamela!! So happy Trinity Holmes shared with us. I love it all. Pinning!

ReplyDeleteThank you!
Trinity has a beautiful and I love her style. That church pew is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing your home with us!
ReplyDeleteProud to say that Trinity is my sister in law. Grateful that I can pick her brain for decorating ideas. I definitely don't have that skill set so it's nice that someone in the family does!!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.
ReplyDeleteWow, Pamela, how exciting!! That is a white kitchen I would love...wow, love her styling and mixing old, new, glam and rustic. What a warm, welcoming and unique style she has.
ReplyDeleteI love her home. So sweet and cozy. Talk her into blogging. I like her style being "collected."
ReplyDeleteGorgeous gorgeous gorgeous...every single ounce of it!! Great feature...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful home, I every room is done so well! I especially love the church pew also. Thank you for sharing! Kimberlee
ReplyDeleteHow fun featuring someone from instagram. What a great home full of wonderful collections. All the stuff I love. Now, I am following her, too. Thanks for the introduction.
ReplyDeleteI call those left behind items 'I should haves" and I have sworn off them. Now if I see it and can't quite turn away I know it will be one of those so I make sure it comes home with me. I'm told I need a keeper. Beautiful home and lovely items. Wish I could shop there!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful home, Trinity! Love your collected style!
ReplyDeleteLots of great ideas! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Pamela,
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool house! I love her mix of rustic pieces and elements in her decor. I also LOVE and want the rattan chairs in her dining room. I waited and waited, debated and debated about buying those from World Market and when I finally made the decision to do it they were on clearance and no longer being sold online. I tried to locate them at a store in a neighboring state (we don't have World Market here) and would have made the drive to pick them up but none of the stores had enough left. I guess, as she said, "the one that got away". Oh well~
Thanks for sharing this awesome house!
