Master Bedroom Refresh

I finally found some time to freshen up our master bedroom for summer.
Better late than never, right?


The first thing I did was paint this little rustic stool that I found
at a barn sale a couple years ago.
The poor thing had been hanging out in a dark corner of our basement
waiting patiently for its makeover.


I think it looks very sweet now at the end of our bed especially with
 the addition of a basket of flowers.


I took down the plates I had above our bed and on a whim
I decided to try placing my herb drying rack in their place.
I really liked how it looked but it was a little plain so I added
a wooden plaque above it to complete the look.


Also, hidden away was a matelasse coverlet, that I brought out
for a lighter feel and look.


This is my favorite little Cath Kidston pillow purchased from Ebay long ago.
It's a little small for the bed but I do think it looks kind of cute and I like the addition
of the pinkish red flowers.


At the end of the bed, I threw on a cozy throw for those afternoon naps.
(If I ever get to have one of those!)


Here it is all freshened up.
A quick, easy and inexpensive change that
really lifted my spirits.


I hope you are all having a great summer!

As always, thanks so much for visiting ~

    Luvly Joanne. Luv the calm spa like feel !! Over the years I find myself needing a calmer palette of colours in the master. With tiny pips of colours for summer. A lot like yours.
    Luving the darling little bench at the foot of the bed.

    I love the new look of your bedroom. Did you use chalk paint on the little bench? I'm getting ready to do a few pieces of furniture and I haven't decided if I'll use chalk paint or if I'll use what I have on hand.

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
