Want to learn more about the person behind From Farmhouse To Florida? Here are some interesting fun facts about me!

Fun Facts about Kim

I love rusty things, herbs, chocolate, reading and dogs.

How to Create a Rustic Inspired Autumn Tablescape

A classic picture of me with my husband:  we are at a party…. I am reading a magazine and Dave is talking! 

I drink a lot of Ice Tea and Diet soda.

I love to be on the water…. Not necessarily in the water but on it .  My favorite way to travel is via a cruise ship.  I think I could live on a cruise ship… well maybe not since I like to have a lot of stuff.

 

Definitely not the most flattering picture of me!  I am sure it is the way I am sitting, but I look pregnant!

Contrary to what my husband says, I am not a hoarder!  And although I have downsized considerably over the last 3 1/2 years, I will never be a minimalist!

I am an only child. I was quite sheltered and over protected.  I didn’t learn to light a match until I was 19 and I have yet to mow a lawn. My  mother might possibly have been the first helicopter parent in 1960.  I am an introvert and don’t normally do well at extemporaneous speaking but I did ROCK my 2 appearances on CI Living in Champaign, Il when I spoke about Makin’ Pizza.  Speaking of pizza, pizza is my favorite food!

I discovered baton twirling as a young child.  Twirled baton as a teenager.  I even won a few trophies and medals!

When I turned 50, I took lessons again so I could surprise my parents by twirling in the Homecoming parade!  I was actually better at twirling 2 batons at the same time when I was 50 than I was in my teens!

Herbs:

    Kim did an awesome job twirling for her parents. She worked very hard to regain that skill!

A little Shabby Chic nostalgia before I head back A little Shabby Chic nostalgia before I head back to Round Top today.
This fabric sample is from the mid‑2000s — rescued from a tiny shop in Monticello, IL that carried Rachel’s line. The owner was closing, and I scooped up every sample she had. I’ve kept them all these years… soft florals, gentle colors, and that sweet Shabby Chic soul.

Carrying that same spirit with me today: Peace. Love. Joy. Hopefully there will be a few brocante treasures waiting out there with the same kind of history.
