A SMALL SHOPPING SPLURGE

World Market always seems to carry a lot of things that I like
 especially kitchen items.
   A couple weeks ago they had a coupon for 25% off of everything so I decided
to treat myself and make a few small purchases.
( btw ~ this is not a paid post ~ just sharing some things I like )

I've always thought these Weck jars were cute so I put one of these in my basket.
They come in different sizes and this is the largest one.
I love all kinds of jars and the fact that they have so many uses.
( It actually comes with an orange rubber ring around the top but I removed it )
sale price $4.49

Another purchase was this measuring cup.
I like its unusual shape and the graphics on the front and inside.
 sale price $3.74

Isn't this cake plate adorable with its scalloped edge?
It comes in three sizes and this is the smallest.
 sale price $7.49

I also picked up one of these chair cushions for my black rocking chair.
I really like the color and texture of the fabric.
( the photo shows sort of a weird wavy pattern towards the front
 of the cushion that is not actually there )
sale price $12.74

So now I know you're dying to see what I did with my purchases, right?

The Weck jar is on my little table in the corner of our dining area.
I have a feeling that it's one of those things that will be moving around a lot!

The cake stand and measuring cup are together on
 my kitchen shelves.

And here is the real shocker ~ the chair cushion is on the chair!!
Scandalous, I know!

So for under $30, I got a few little things to give my kitchen area a little
spring/summer pick-me-up.
These changes may or may not have prompted some other changes
but that will be for another day.
You know what they say - Another day, another decorating change!

Thanks so much for visiting and I hope you're having another
 decorating good day!

    What great finds at World Market. I love the measuring cup and plate stand together, what a pretty scalloped edge. Your corner table vignette is very pretty as well!

    Great finds! Love the measuring cup...it looks so good on the cake stand. Also love the glass jar. Wish there was a World Market near me. I've only been to one a year or so ago and I really liked the store.

    I like every single one of your excellent purchases.

    Sometimes we just gotta spoil ourselves just a tiny little bit, don't we?

    I love the big glass jar I had no idea it was so large. Perfect pieces, you deserve them.

    That jar is awesome!! It looked tiny in the first picture...that is a pretty substantial piece! I love little shopping trips! Sometimes, they have the biggest impact!

    The measuring cup is just too sweet. I'd have scooped it up without a second thought!

    I love World Market also, but don't get there often. The vignette with the cake stand is so sweet! Thanks for sharing with SYC.

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. ...
