LAVENDAR AND BLUE IN THE KITCHEN

Our lilac bushes didn't do very well this year but I did manage
to make a small bouquet for the kitchen.
I thought the color looked really pretty with the light blue
of the ceramic colander.


So when I noticed some lavender colored wildflowers along the creek
in our backyard, I cut some of those and brought them in.


I played around with some different arrangements.
There were a few yellow flowers which I cut as well.



I'm just really loving the lavender and blue combination.




Some of the yellow flowers replaced the lilacs here.


On the table, I grouped some flowers in a basket that I got
 for a couple bucks at a thrift store recently.
I added a sprig of the lavender flowers in my little blue and white cream pitcher.


The tiny white flowers in the white pitcher look more like weeds
but they'll do for now.  : }


All in all, not too bad for free flowers.

Thanks so much to everyone who read my Saturday Spotlight post
at Junk Chic Cottage.  It was so fun to be featured and I really
appreciate all of your super sweet comments!

{And yes, Stacey, peanut butter and mayo - you should try it!}

As always, thank you for visiting!

  10. Your flowers are beautiful, JoA - my lilacs are just beginning to bud.....we have the latest bloomers, so when they do bloom come on over for a cuppa and a visit before your travels, perhaps? I should very much love that. Hugs.

  12. As I read this post I kept 'singing' the old song 'Lavender blue, Dilly dilly - Lavender blue'! Your flowers are so sweet and the way you put them together is wonderful. I think I should go outside and get some flowers to bring inside!

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

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

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
