Black & White for Spring?



I've been dressing up our foyer a bit for Spring and Easter.


'The Boss' says "Come on in and see what the crazy decorating lady
in this house has been up to this time!"


(You better do what he says, cause he is 'The Boss' after all!)


It all started with the Cherish, Live, Dream sign but this wall
needed something else.


So I found these little drawings of the lamb, chick and bunny
and repurposed this black frame.


My old window frame is on the opposite wall.


I added a black & white bunny print heart and another 
little bunny with a burlap bow.



The brown bunny I purchased recently at Homegoods is sitting on the bench with a basket
of pink flowers to complement her pink bow.



I'm beginning to think she's quite the snooty little bunny with her nose stuck
so far up in the air!!


I never thought I would use black and white for spring 
but I like how it looks with the blue walls.
And it ties in with these hooks on the other side of the doorway
to the kitchen.



And also with the ceiling light.


'The Boss' says "That's all for today."
I say, thank you very much for coming in to see my
 black and white (and a little pink) spring foyer.

Happy Spring Everyone!

    Hi~~ I love the old window hanging on the wall. It is so pretty. The color and chippiness looks perfect against your blue wall.
    Have a great week

    I like what you have done, and the black and white works well in your home. I haven't even started my Easter decorating, but you've inspired me. I'm visiting from Cozy Home Party.

    I love, love, love the adorable lamb, chick, and bunny picture. The planter and bunny are cute too. My HomeGoods hasn't been well stocked lately, but I hope when I visit, they will have more cute spring and Easter things such as your bunny. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful Easter things at my party!

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
