Setting the Table for Thanksgiving Three Ways
I love to set the table for Thanksgiving. I thought it would be fun for you to decide which of the three I styled you most think I should use for my dinner table this year. Most all of the pieces came from my party pantry and are either vintage or not new to me. The...
History of the Keeping Room and a Look at Mine
I have done a lot of redecorating in the last few months. I purchased a few vintage pieces, moved furniture around the house, and finally hung a collection of plates with new art I found during a trip to Laurel, Mississippi. It’s fun repurposing what you have...

Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.She taught me how to prepare fabulous food, entertain guests with style and design a traditional home with a pop of color and a splash of animal print. Share my fondness of blending Mother’s mid-century style with a modern spin.

Our favorite spring activity in Fort Worth is the annual Butterflies in the Garden exhibit in the Rainforest Conservatory at the Fort Worth Botanical Garden.
The seasonal event features a diverse collection of exotic butterflies from around the world. It truly is magical to walk among these beautiful creatures and be up so close to see their coloring!
Visit the @fortworthbotanicgarden to learn more and purchase your tickets - which includes access to the grounds - before the exhibit ends April 14.
My sweet Mr. Twist. Here`s how we met...
My sister and her friend set us up on a blind date. He left a few messages saying he`d like to meet, and I ignored them because I was seeing someone else. But my sister said I was being rude and needed to call him back.
Reluctantly, I did call him, and I told him that I wasn`t interested, but I`d be his friend and help him make a love connection with someone else, like a networking opportunity.
Since it wasn`t technically a "date," he showed up dressed like a lumber jack. He wasn`t too thrilled about my three cats looking him over. After dinner, when he dropped me off, he almost ran over me with his car. He (much later) told me he thought I was high maintenance, and I thought he was a seriel killer because his car was way too clean.
Needless to say, about a month later, I changed my mind, dumped the guy I was seeing, and fell in love with Mr. Twist. After my very sad and lonely first marriage, Mr. Twist was the gift my heart and soul needed.
We`ll celebrate 28 years of marriage in May, and it`s been the best years of my life.

We are entering salad season, and I love to use Mason or pickle jars to share with friends! This lemony white bean salad is filled with fresh herbs and feta! It`s light, refreshing, healthy, and so good as a side with anything!
Comment BEAN, and I`ll send you the link to the recipe on my website www.homewithatwist.com.
