Where are you Spring?

Dear Spring,

We would love to say hello to you.
Please come out and play.
You are suppose to be here today.
It says so on the calendar.
We've been ready for you.
We have even decorated for you.
Where are you hiding?


We want to see your beautiful
 colors and feel your warm fresh air.
Please be here soon.
We've missed you!

Sincerely,
JoAnne

    Yes, indeed! It was hovering around 5 degrees in my part of the country. I am so ready to open windows, spring clean from top to bottom, paint projects in the garage etc. It's been a long, cold winter.

    I can't wait for the spring season to start here in NJ. Cold, windy with snow on the ground.

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...

Pretty Centerpieces for Spring

To celebrate the first official day of Spring, I found some pretty and easy table centerpieces to inspire us. This first one is what I currently have on my table. I'm sure I will be changing it out many times especially when the flowers in my yard start blooming. Here are a couple more from previous years. As you can see, I usually stick with something pretty easy - a pitcher or flower pot with flowers and a few other accessories to make it a little more interesting. There are so many possibilities. Using jars or bottles for flowers can be so pretty and I love how the Spring sunshine reflects through them. source source source I also love nature inspired centerpieces. You can get really creative with some spring blooms,  moss and terra cotta pots. source source source I have never made a centerpiece using veggies but I have seen  some like these below that look amazing. The colors are so fresh and vibrant. source source source If you like a more rustic look, ...
