Free "Bonnie Plant Farm" Crate

Hi Everyone,

We've been working our fingers to the bone doing yard work.

This past weekend was so gorgeous, we spent the entire two days outside

and I have been doing some work myself the last couple days as well.

I wanted to show you something I picked up over the weekend at Home Depot.

They had onion plants for sale and they were in these cute crates.

I asked an employee what they do with the crates when they're empty and

he said they throw them away. So of course I asked if I could take one

and he said I could - he only looked at me a little bit strangely. : )

The red lettering is what really caught my eye.

I started thinking of things I could do with it.

It's not terribly sturdy so you couldn't use it for anything heavy

but I think it's cute enough just on its own.

It has a little wire latch if you want it to stay closed as well.

You could use it indoors or out.

It looks kind of charming with a potted plant sitting inside.

If you have a potting bench, it would work well for

storing small gardening tools.

So many possibilities.

Of course the best part is that it was free.

Kitty loves to be outside with me when I'm working.

So the moral of the story is that if you're at Home Depot

and you spot one of these cuties, it could be yours simply for asking.

The second moral of the story is that if you have teenagers and they are with you,

don't even think about it - they tend to frown on this type of behavior! ) :

Thanks a bunch for visiting!

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
