*THINK SHABBY*

Okay - so if you don't do anything else today, you must take a look at *THINK SHABBY* ~ ~ Lara lives in Italy and she has some of the most amazing spaces on her blog.   She says that her style is  "shabby romantic, feminine and carefree."  It is all that and more - so inspiring!  I will show you a few images just to tempt you ......

Wouldn't you just love to walk through this little white gate and
through the pretty yellow door?
These vintage pails on the ladder are super cute!
And wouldn't it be nice to sit here and do your blogging?
Such a pretty and feminine bathroom!

Sweet kitchen!
This living room is so charming ~ I think part of the reason I'm drawn
to it is because the wall color is very close to my family room wall color!
Another kitchen that is so pretty and such a soothing color palette -
notice the back splash and faucet above the farmhouse sink - don't you love it?
DECOROLOGY
Just look at this work area - even the tools are pink and blue!!

You can blame me for getting nothing else done today (sorry) ~
I just had to share ~ 
That's the kind of girl I am  : }

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do...
I would love to hear from you ~
I do appreciate every comment more than you know!

Have a beautiful day !
~ ~ 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...

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...

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. ...
