GETTING CRAFTY FOR THE 4TH OF JULY

When I saw these flags on Jennifer's blog Town & Country Living,
I thought they were just so adorable!


I also thought they looked fairly easy to make and I knew 
I had some fabric scraps and goodness knows we have
plenty of sticks.

So I got busy and this is what I came up with.


It was fun coming up with the combination of fabrics 
 and I even added buttons to one of them.


When my daughter was little she hated to wear anything with buttons on it.
She would throw a little fit and really didn't even like it if I wore clothing with buttons.
I have never really figured that one out.
So when she saw these flags, she said the only one she didn't like
 was of course the one with the buttons!!
She was just kidding . . . I think.



I ended up kind of scattering them around our dining area.







Quick, easy and cute - gotta love it!

I hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th of July!

    I just love your soft approach to the red, white and blue color palette! Your fabric choices are perfect and take a theme that could be harsh and make it really beautiful. It fits so well into your surrounding romantic decor. Really really lovely.

    Hi JoAnne, The flags are so adorable and I love your light blue wall drawer chest. I plan to paint a cat bed stand in such a shade of blue. Your furry boss is such a cutie!!!
    Have a sunny weekend!

    Oh if I had seen this post earlier, I would have made a few of these darling flags. I guess I should actually make some today while they are in my mind and then bring them out again for Labor Day.

    My husband too has a hatred of buttons - just on pillows though.

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
