Chippy Screen Door



Hi Everyone,

I spotted this old, chippy screen door at a garage sale a couple weeks ago.
It was only $6.00 so I snatched it right up!
It's adding a little charm to this corner by our computer desk.

This old pie tin is the perfect accessory don't you think?
I think the wording on it ~  "Blue Bird Pies" ~ is especially appropriate!


Don't you love how old pieces like this just add so much
character and charm to your home?

I think they're just so special!

    Definitely adds charm to that corner. And I love the bench and shelf you painted and added to the blank space in your home. Will be very useful and looks great, as does the makeover on your kitchen cupboard. I've been thinking to do the same to some pieces around here. Just need to find time to make a mess and paint. :) Have a fabulous Friday. Tammy

    I love old screens. They make wonderful decor items. I have an old chippy red paint screen from a window that I use for a photo prop.

    Fantabulous!! I love it. I found you through Kim at Savvy Southern Style. I am the friend she met for lunch in Asheville. I live here. If you ever come back this way I would be happy to meet you and take you to the tobacco barn!

    Last year I had a blogger brunch and Kim plus 14 other people came, and then we went antiquing all over Asheville including the tobacco barn.

    Come visit my blog when you have time. I just did a Kim post!

    I would have snapped that up in a second too! It is SO cute and I love it in the corner with the plate on it! You could hang a wreath on it too, and change it out seasonally! Endless possibilities with this piece! LOVE IT!

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
