Little Glass Jar is a project I have been wanting to start for quite some time now, so let me first begin by saying thank you so very much for stopping by. I am so happy you are here!
My name is Ashley, I live in a growing little town about forty-five minutes west of St. Louis, Missouri. I am married to the absolute love of my life, and we bought our first home together in December of 2012. Now that we are settled in, I am more than excited to really create a space that we are in love with and proud to call our home. I have so many thoughts and ideas for every square inch of our house and I cannot wait to really get to work. Hopefully you will follow along!
Home design is my passion. It is anything and everything that goes along with making a house a home. It consumes my brain. It’s taking an empty room and making it into something that reflects a piece of you. It reflects how you want to feel when you sit down after a long day, or lay down at night. It is comfort. It is personal. It is familiarity.
I want every piece of furniture and every accessory in my home to have a story. I love everything old. I love giving something new purpose. You can find me slowly browsing antique malls, trying to bargain down prices at our towns Sunday Flea Market (my husband will laugh at this because I am awful at it!), frequenting the local Goodwill for those gems that just need a little love, and maybe a fresh coat of paint. From mason jars to old wooden crates, ironstone to chipped window panes, I love the character and charm of it all. Where it came from. How was it revived. How many years its been around. To me, there is nothing better than how happy my home makes me. But it is always, always a work in progress.
I hope you stick around to watch our house transform into our home. I really do believe that there truly is no place like it.

Ashley, I just have to tell you that you’re style is by far my FAVORITE of any of the bloggers I follow. I too like so many others have and always will be a lover of farmhouse style. But yours is perfection in that you just have a way of bringing in “just enough” to make each of your spaces perfect and cozy. This is something I struggle with, but your spaces make me want to declutter my style. Thanks so much for your daily inspiration!! I truly strive to achieve what you do because EVERY time I look thru your spaces I’m immediately relaxed and know that is what truly feels like a home.
All the best wishes and prayers for you,
Misty

Hi Ashley! I have followed you on Instagram for some time now, but haven’t spent time on your blog. I commented on your IG post from May 15th (if my memory is correct) and started checking out your blog quite a bit! I LITERALLY LOVE everything you do! 100% my style. I love all things old as well with a little mix of new or farmhouse-ish items. Would love a follow on IG…hoping to create a new IG account or blog here soon 🙂

Hi Ashley! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home! Can I just ask what you put into the collage of frames that are placed behind your couch. I absolutely love it! Thanks again!

Ashley,
I just ran across you blog and love it. I was wondering where you got the Missouri Heel Compay St. Louis? My dad use to work there years ago and we have one downstairs in our basement. I just might have to bring it upstairs and try to find a place for it. Seeing the picture of it totally surprised me and brought back memories of my sweet daddy.

Hi Beth! Thank you so much for the sweet comment! I found the crate from a local vintage store and love using it as decor for our living room. I hope you find the perfect spot for yours! 🙂
