I love accessorizing. I really do. ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ It's my favorite part of decorating. ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ Accessories add that special something to a room. ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ I like to use pieces that have personal meaning. ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ And play around with grouping items together. ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ Sometimes using things in an unusual way. ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ I love how accessories can help to create a certain feeling. ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ Do you love accessorizing as much as I do?

Hi Everyone, I'm having a very peaceful morning. The kids don't have school today so everyone is sleeping in.  The sun is coming up and making a very bright appearance. ~ so relaxing ~ ~ at least for a little while ~ I'm having my coffee in one of these mugs I received for Christmas. They're from Crate and Barrel and  they're great for a large cup in the morning. I also received this farmhouse mixing bowl. I love the soft, white color and it is really large. Perfect for mixing a large batch of cookies ~  may have to do some of that today for the kiddos. I want to thank everyone for such nice comments about our master bedroom. You're very kind. Also, a big thank you to Kim at Savvy Southern Style for featuring our bedroom this week. Such a nice compliment ~ Thanks Kim! Have a wonderful day ~ I hope the sun is shining where you are! ❉ ❉ ❉ joining ❉ ❉ ❉ Home Sweet Home ❉ The Charm o...

Hello!  I'm Jessica and every day I get to write about interior design for   Arcadian Lighting , an awesome website for affordable light fixtures .  I'm delighted to be guest posting on A Pocketful of Blue today  to share some very bright, inspiring interiors.  While we may still be in the middle of winter, I thought  I'd share some lovely rooms that let in plenty of warm sunshine.  I hope you enjoy! Floor to ceiling windows and folding glass doors ensure that this cozy,  casual living room gets as much sunshine as possible.  The stone fireplace adds just a bit of rustic texture to the modern setting. A beautiful pair of French doors, decorated with delicate white curtains,  allows fresh springtime air to gently breathe through the room.  During the colder months, the soft beach-inspired color palette keeps the room light and bright. This very simple entryway is the perfect pla...

Hi Everyone, I'm really excited to show you my finished bedroom. It's all freshened up with a couple coats of  Cozy Cottage by Behr. I love my new bedding. It's by Ralph Lauren and I found it at Homegoods. I moved the armoir to the corner. It's amazing how much larger the room seems now. Here is just a paper bag with some hydrangeas and twine. This picture is actually a greeting card I happened to find. I love how it looks in this frame that I already had. The room seems really pulled together now. The toile bedding works great with our French style furniture. It's a wonderful retreat after a busy day. Thank you so much for taking my little tour ~  I love being able to share my decorating projects with you  and I always love hearing from you! ♡ ♡ ♡ ~ JoAnne PS...click here to see the before of  our master bedroom.  • • • joining • • • W...

 If you saw my post a few days ago, you know that I started painting our bedroom and wasn't happy with the color. So I chose another color and I now have the first coat on the walls. It looks really nice so far and I'm much happier with how it  looks with my furniture. The color is Cozy Cottage by Behr. It's very soft and has a very slight yellow tone to it. It works well for this room because it doesn't get a lot of natural light. ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞  See "The Boss" inspecting my work? Here is a peak at the new bedding I found. I wasn't planning to buy anything new but of course that is always when you find something. This was a Ralph Lauren comforter set at Homegoods. It was literally right inside the doors of the store ~ it jumped  right out at me ~ really!! The colors are so pretty and since we have French style furniture, I think it will go well in the room. ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ Can'...
