Little Hallway Changes



 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
~ ~ ~ ~  ~ ~ ~ ~

Hi Everyone,
I made some changes in the little hallway
that leads to our bedroom.


~ this is how it looked for a long time ~


~ and this is how it looks now ~


I found this plate at a yard sale a long time ago and I love it.


I love it even with its little imperfections.
But I had never really found a good spot for it.


With the little bit of yellow in it, I thought it might
look good here with the yellow of this little table.



Then I just added some flowers in pretty jars.


I found the jars at Joann Fabrics and thought they were pretty
with the design on the front.
They were very inexpensive ~ $3 for the small one, and $4 for the larger one.
(They came with lids also.)


Doesn't it look kind of sweet?

A simple little change to freshen up this spot
for spring and summer.

  1. This looks great, a little change is always a good thing. It is a super summer look, the flowers are perfect in the canning jars. I found you at the Cozy Home Scenes party.

  2. It most certainly DOES look sweet, JoAnne!

    Very nice change-up.

    Isn't it nice to refresh things every once in a while?

    You know a small lace or crocheted dresser runner scarf would be pretty there too, to give some texture to it.

    Well done, quite lovely.

  3. I also love your pretty floral plate, JoAnne. When I find a plate with pretty flowers I feel that I must have it. Thank you for sharing your hallway all freshened up for spring. It's nice to have you at Your Cozy Home Party.-------- Shannon

  5. I love the new look you created! Those jars are really cute too and you can't beat the price. Where did you get the flowers? I just love the little areas you create. You really are talented JoAnne!

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
