Ihave loved touring my blogging friends’ inspired rooms over the past few weeks. It’s been a delight to read about their favorite spaces and see the creative ways they make their homes feel welcoming. I’m deeply grateful for the support I’ve received during my book launch — every share, post and review means so much. If you missed Part One of the bloggers’ inspired room tour for the book launch, you can catch up there.
Home Stories A to Z
Today I’m excited to share another group of inspired rooms from some truly talented bloggers. First up is Beth from Home Stories A to Z. Her front porch is charming and incredibly inviting — a space that feels ready for every season. If you want ideas for styling a porch that evolves throughout the year, take a look at how her porch changes with the seasons.
Balancing Beauty and Bedlam
Jen from Balancing Beauty and Bedlam has a story that reminds us patience pays off — she waited 17 years for her front porch. The result is beautiful and well worth the wait. Her home’s exterior is lovely and her porch adds so much character. Visit her post to see the transformation and how she brought that space to life.
Domestic Fashionista
Ashley from Domestic Fashionista made a thoughtful change by swapping her dining room and living room to better suit her family’s needs. The rearrangement makes the spaces more functional and comfortable for daily life. Her post shows how simple layout changes can improve flow and usability — well worth a read for anyone considering a room shuffle.
Sweet & Simple Home
Rachel from Sweet and Simple Home shares cozy, approachable video tours on her YouTube channel. I first discovered her through the 31 Day Love Your Home Challenge she created to complement my earlier book, and I loved her warm, practical approach. She recently offered a video tour of her living room and dining area — a cozy, family-friendly space used for homeschooling and daily life. She plans another series based on The Inspired Room book, so be sure to follow her channel if you enjoy video tours and practical inspiration.
Happy Happy Nester
I enjoyed Janine’s kitchen post at Happy Happy Nester. That little bench with the cheery yellow smile pillow is irresistible. Their kitchen was opened up to create a more functional, family-friendly space — a wonderful example of thoughtful changes that make daily life easier and more joyful.
Honey We’re Home
Megan from Honey We’re Home shared her master bedroom, a space that came together over five years. I love seeing rooms that evolve slowly into something a homeowner truly adores — a reminder that real-life makeovers often take time. Her room, including that stunning mirror, is a beautiful example of gradual, thoughtful design.
In My Own Style
Diane from In My Own Style completed nine paint projects over time to transform her dining area into a room she truly loves. Her painted white hutch and the fireplace mantel are standout details. It’s amazing how paint can renew and unify a space — Diane’s before-and-after approach is full of useful ideas for anyone considering a refresh.
The Chronicles of Home
Jen from The Chronicles of Home has a lovely screened porch that looks like the perfect spot to relax. She added an electric fireplace to warm the space on chilly evenings and used blinds and curtains to create a cozy, polished look. Her porch is a great example of making an outdoor room comfortable year-round.
Cuckoo4Design
Julia of Cuckoo4Design shared how her living room evolved as her taste shifted toward a more neutral palette. Watching a room grow and change alongside its owner is always fascinating — her color transitions and styling choices offer practical inspiration for anyone refining their aesthetic.
I’ll share another installment of this series next week. I’m so grateful to the bloggers who participated and supported the book launch — they have so many great ideas to share, so please visit and follow them. See the full list of participating bloggers on the book tour page.
