YIKES!!! Summertime & Computers



Hi Everyone,
Between summer activities with the kids and a corrupted
hard drive, I haven't been able to do much posting lately.
  But the kids are occupied today and the
computer is back from the correctional facility 
for corrupted computers so I'm finally having a
chance to get back to this blog.


Here are just a few little things I've changed up 
around my house recently...


I found this basket on clearance at Joann Fabrics
and this pot of flowers just happened to fit in
it perfectly ~  it looks so fresh and cheerful
to me.  Sometimes it's just the little things that
can brighten up a day don't you think?


I purchased this small pitcher at Homegoods 
primarily for warming syrup for breakfast but I thought
it looked pretty on display!

A couple of the shelves on our computer desk ~
I put together the picture frame with just some scrapbook paper,
an alphabet printout from The Graphics Fairy  and just a little sprig of
babies breath tucked behind.  I think it looks kind of simple and sweet.

This is my favorite basket ~ almost anything looks good in it!

I hope you are all enjoying some summery goodness
this weekend!


I have some other little projects to show you
so I hope to do that sometime soon!


***Thanks so much for taking the time to visit ~
it really does mean a lot to me!****

    Your baskets are pretty...I really like the last one and have been looking for something similar. I also like what you did with the picture frame.

    Sorry about your computer problems, hopefully this is the end of them!

    Have a great weekend, Joanne!

    Computers are great when they work. Glad yours is back from the computer correctional facility!!

    I love the basket w/ the plant - very cute idea! I also love the metal basket- I can see why it's your favorite.

    Our internet is often slow at times. Too many users in this country and not enough providers, I'm guessing.

    Every time I buy a little something for display or a pretty basket, it gets overrun with stuff and then you can't see the beauty of the piece anymore. :/ Nice to change things up just a bit even if only moving around things you already own.

    Hope you are having a great weekend. Tammy

    I think the little changes are the best. I love the wire basket with the pretty dishes and linens. I hope this is the end of computer problems for you. Have a great week.

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
