BEAUTIFUL LIGHTING


    ~ I have seen some beautiful lamps and chandeliers in blogland this week ~

~ finding a wonderful lamp or chandy can really make a difference in a room ~ 

Look how pretty this one looks especially with the 
ruffled shade ~ Martina @ Northern Nesting 
found the perfect spot for it in this sitting area!




Kate @ Kate's Place found this sweet and delicate alabaster lamp at a garage sale.
It did have a broken piece but after a quick fix you would never know!



I'm loving this country french lamp that Kim @ Savvy Southern Style
found at an antique mall ~ so many pretty details!

Kim also shared with us her gorgeous
 new chandelier in her dining room ~
isn't it just beautiful?


Here is my favorite light in our house ~ it hangs over our kitchen 
table.  We've had it for about 2 years and I still really love it!




So many choices for lighting out there and yet it can still be difficult to find 
the one that is just right . . . but when you do, it can make all the difference!

HAVE A WONDERFUL, FUN, AND SAFE LABOR DAY WEEKEND!!

  1. All of the lamps are just beautiful, Jo Anne and I really love yours with the shades. You're right...they do make all the difference. I love lamps so much more than recessed or track lighting...they are just warmer and cozier!!

    XO,

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
