I am so excited to have Darlene here today!
I love this girl!
We met last year at Relevant, and we became instant friends.
While in my hotel room at Relevant, I checked out my new friend’s blog, Fieldstone Hill, and I fell in love. And I knew that moment that Darlene had amazing talent.
Guess who agrees with me?…
Yup. Edie from Life In Grace!
Darlene is designing some rooms for Edie in her new home. Just look at this design board that Darlene made for Edie’s Lake Room…
Amazing, Darlene!
You should see the other rooms she is designing for Edie!
But the best thing about Darlene is her heart of gold. She loves life, and you don’t have to be around her for long to notice it. I get to see her again at Relevant this year in October, and I cannot wait!
So take a second real quick to jump over to Fieldstone Hill and “follow” Darlene. Believe me, you will be glad you did. She has some great eye candy on her blog! (And I am not just saying that. I mean it.) Then come back and read Darlene’s “ditto” of my favorite kitchen inspiration!
Thank you, Darlene, for sharing your talents with my readers today. :)
Without further ado…here’s Darlene!
Y’all {I just had to say that on Traci’s blog}. Before I dive in, I must share that I had the privilege of meeting Traci last October at the Relevant 2010 blogging conference. From the moment I met Traci, I noticed that Light just shines from her eyes. Her genuine, loving spirit and warm nature is immediately evident. I am so glad to call her friend.
a hug to you this morning!!!!! :)
I’d seen Darlene mentioned at Edie’s blog, but I didn’t know she had a blog! She’s amazingly talented, and this “ditto” idea is great. I love your favorite kitchen, Traci. . . except that I imagine it’s actually not quite your favorite. I’m guessing your real favorite is wherever Cy and the boys are, even if it’s not quite this gorgeous.
I was out of town last week and just recently caught up on some reading. Happy birthday to Jonathan! And what a darling video of Eli over at Layla’s. AND I see that you’re over 3000 followers–congratulations!! I’m so happy for you!
Hope you have a great week!
P.S. You link to Edie’s blog, but you have it listed here as “Imparting Grace.” I’m flattered that my blog name sprang so quickly to your mind–probably all that work you put into making my darling notebook! :) But you might want to change it to “Life in Grace.”
Traci this is so fun, I came over from Darlene’s. It is so good to read your Ditto’s series. The kitchen is just perfect!

Hi Traci! I found your blog through Darlene, and so glad I did! I’m your newest follower. I would ditto the wainscoting on the ceiling – love it. We are living in an old home that has wainscoting on the ceiling in every room, but in the kitchen and bedrooms they have (shudder) dropped ceilings. If we are fortunate at some point to buy the house, that will be the first thing we change. xoxo michele
I love Fieldstone Hill! So inspiring and I haven’t seen a room I wouldn’t put in my own house!
thanks Gage! You are so sweet!!
Traci, thanks for introducing Darlene; I love her ‘ditto’s’ : ) What I love about blogging is that there is always someone new and wonderful to ‘meet’!
Love both of your blogs a lot! I like the ‘ditto’ idea, too! I have to confess it took me forever to find the pic of the kitchen, though. :( duh. What a great idea….a comfy chair in the kitchen or dining room! Must look into that.
I love her ideas!! I have heard of her from Edie. She has such talent.
This kitchen is gorgeous. Love the marble countertops and all the white.

I’m sorry; I’m lost. Where is the picture of this kitchen you’re ditto-ing? I’ve clicked all the links and can’t find it. Thanks.
