Sunday Post ~ Dreamy Ranunculus

Do you love the Ranunculus?


I only discovered this flower within the last couple years.
I guess they don't grow in this part of the country.

I saw these artificial ranunculus recently at Meijers.  
They looked so real and so pretty that I had to have some.
They also had some orchid stems that complemented them well.

I arranged them in a creamy white pitcher
 and put them on my table.
I've been enjoying them so much.
They are now one of my favorite flowers.


They will definitely do until the Peonies bloom!

Don't beautiful flowers just brighten your day?

    These are very realistic-looking flowers. Normally I don't buy fake but I really like these and there's a Meijer just down the road. Don't be surprised if you see these in some of my photos. Thanks for the shopping tip!

    Hi Joanne, Your faux ranunculas are really cute. I just love the colors. I live in the San Diego area, and we have the Flower Fields up in Carlsbad. In the spring you can visit their amazing fields filled with ranunculas. You would love it! You can see what I mean here: http://www.theflowerfields.com/ Happy Pink Saturday! ~Marti

    I thought those were real flowers! They look so nice in the white pitcher and I love the blue pitcher next to it! I guess I need to check out the faux flowers at Meijer's.

    Happy Sunday!

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. ...
