Christmas Kitchen


Hi Everyone,

It has taken me  f-o-r-e-v-e-r  to get my Christmas 
decorating act together.
Thanksgiving at my house, then my daughter's 10th birthday
 party put me a little behind.
Not to mention band concerts, basketball games, shopping and 
all the other things that go on this time of year.
You all know what I'm talking about, right? 

I have mostly pictures from my kitchen today and I will also share
my favorite holiday decoration.




These are salt & pepper shakers ~ aren't they little cutie pies?


A little candy cane bouquet!

I kept things fairly simple in some areas by just
adding in a little more green.
 A little "button art" on the wall by the fridge.

In the picture below you can catch a peek of my favorite
decoration this year ~ do you see it?

I love, love, love this window frame.
A bought it a couple months ago and have been
saving it for Christmas. 
 I spent a lot of time (too much time) playing around 
with accessorizing it.
 I'm loving how these vintage looking ornaments
look with the frame.


That's it for today.  
I hope to be back with more this week
and I hope you are all having a joyful Christmas
season so far!
I've been trying to keep up with visiting all of you and
I have seen so many beautiful decorations ~ thank you for keeping
 me motivated to get my done!

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
