THE OASIS THREE

July was an adorable country July 4th/Patriotic Ttheme with an antique color palette for one of the guest rooms. This was just darling, and I even put a rustic little pine tree in the room that was decorated with all July 4th antique style ornaments!

I love this bowl with star in the center

Great wall hanging

this rug was on the side of the guest room bed

We also had our Master created in a darling Island theme with flamingos, colorful bedspread I adored, hanging parrots that looked so real, you surely expected them to say “Polly want a Cracker”! Artificial island fruit, yukalalee and surfboard in the corner

We also played music to go along with whatever theme we had in our home all year. .. I had cd’s galore for our pleasure. We also changed over our kitchen and greatroom seasonally too.  It was great fun for us and we were always talking about and looking with great expectation to the next theme !!

It has become too difficult for me to do this at present as our lifestyle has changed. This breaks my heart, as I love decoration my world in every way I possibly can, and I just love the change of seasons. However, I am so happy with our home at present, it seems to suit my husband and I well.

When I met my new husband he had a dream for place in Iowa (he is from there) where people could come and be taught and refreshed in the Lord. As we began to discuss this, I was reminded of the scripture about a place called “Elim” which was an Oasis surrounded by some shading Palms where the Israelites came to find rest and refreshing from the dry dessert during their sojourning. ? A place where we can let down our hair and find solace from the world. A place to get away from it all. So it seemed fitting that our ministry and our Greatroom would be called “the Oasis”


So, in the last few years that we have been married (it will be 4 years in October 2011), we have added some wonderful pieces to add to the Oasis atmosphere to include some stunning Biblical prints we purchased on our honeymoon. Isn’t that what our homes are supposed to be? Did you ever hear the expression a man’s home is his castle? I do think my husband feels that way about our home, it is a blending of the two of us which is the way it should be, with decorating pieces like “the sower of seed”, buffalo, bear and moose, prints of the wise virgins, and enchanting decorated lighted wine bottles my husband has made, and I have decorated along with burning rock oil lamps we have picked up mostly in the Mountains of GA, TN, NC. .. I say “we picked up.. however, I stayed warm in the car, while he forged rain and cold to pick them up”!! They are total treasures to me.

As a perfume designer, my hubby constantly keeps me in his newest seasonal creations such as perfume, and linen/auto/air fresheners, and such to keep our home in accord with the year.

Our Exclusive Vineyard Room/Linen/Auto freshener .. can also we used to
freshen work places, lockers, potpourri, closets and other uses!  $11.95 + S&H

He has also created a new fragrance line called the Vineyard to go along with our guest bedroom which is named “The Vineyard” in a French Vineyard theme. So, if you come to stay at our home most likely your guest room will smell like you are in a grapevine orchard with scents such as Muscadine Grape, or Champagne and Strawberries! God is the husbandman of the vineyard in the bible. We ask Him to watch over those who come into our homes in prayer, covering and love.

Anyway… enough for now.. enjoy the pictures of our home .. and I do love comments.. So, please email me with any questions or some sweet words.. at
