Entry & Foyer Tour


Hi Everyone,

I would like to show you our foyer and hallway today.

This picture is taken from the front porch so this is what you
see when you enter our home.


Come on in!



I actually have two of these little benches.
This one is just right for this little space.
I have it decked out for summer ~
I usually change out the accessories
for the seasons and holidays.



The doorway to the kitchen is just past the bench.




To the immediate right is the powder room.


Straight ahead is our living/family room.



The hallway to the right takes you to 
our master bedroom.


{Old pictures of myself, my parents, and my husband's parents.}





Looking back, you see the staircase to the mysterious
and scary second floor!
Okay, not really mysterious but it is a little scary.
The second floor has not been remodeled yet.
It has three bedrooms and a very tiny bathroom.
We hope to start that project in the next year or two.
Maybe one day, I'll be brave enough to
show it to you!


Now back to the foyer and that's it!


Thanks so much for taking my little tour.
I hope it makes you and everyone who visits feel welcome!

~ HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY ~

Blue Kitchen Cabinets 2017

I have done a couple posts on kitchens with blue cabinetry in the past, after all it is my favorite color. It has been awhile though, so today I have rounded up some more  amazing kitchens with cottage style that also incorporate blue in  the design. source The kitchen above and the one below have white upper cabinets and soft shades of blue on the lower ones. This is a nice way to use blue without going overboard or ending up with something that you would get tired of quickly. source source Finding the right shade of blue would be key and using a lot of white and wood tones along with it creates a beautiful and timeless look. source source Isn't the kitchen above just so very unique? It has sort of a french country feeling but in an updated way. Wish there was a better picture of the script that's on the wall  on the right. source This kitchen is from Remodelondo la Casa and I've always thought the w

AFFORDABLE WALL DECOR

Hi Everyone, One of the things I find the most difficult about decorating is finding wall decor that I like and is also affordable. That is one of the main things that I am always on the hunt for and sometimes I have to come up with some creative ideas. Just yesterday, I found this beautiful image of a  white hydrangea at The Graphics Fairy . The Graphics Fairy I printed it out in a size that would fit in a frame that  I already had.  I think it looks so pretty in the simple white frame. I'm probably going to hang it in our bedroom. I'm making a few small changes in there and I will show you when it's completed. This star is actually from the garden section of our local Meijer store.  It was originally silver metal and I spray painted it white. I have seen a lot of people decorate with bread boards. This one fit perfectly in the narrow space between my  cabinet and window and I love the warmth of the wood.  I love th

Family Room Reveal

Hello Everyone! I've been meaning to post about our updated family room for a very long time and I'm  finally doing it - yeah!! I had been ready to replace our brown leather furniture for a while and when a new Ikea opened very close to us last summer, I jumped at the chance to take a good look at their slipcovered furniture. Originally the plan was to buy another sofa and loveseat like we had but when I  saw the Ektorp sectional on the showroom floor at Ikea, I was sold.   It just seemed so cozy and I could really envision it in our family room. As you can see, we purchased the sectional with the white slipcover. You just can't beat the prices at Ikea and the quality is definitely good enough for us. I'm at a point where I don't want to buy expensive furniture that I feel like I have to keep forever.   We even had the sofa delivered and they took away the old sofa and loveseat  for a very small fee. We purchased this dre
