Pocketful of Blue

Hi Everyone, I've been adding some little touches of Spring here and there. A few little purchases from Homegoods brought about some changes on my kitchen shelves. Some blue jelly beans in a jar and my pink cake stand add some Spring to my baking corner. I couldn't resist this sweet little primrose at the grocery store. And here is my favorite bunny wearing her cozy pink sweater.   ♡ The little burlap bag was found at Michael's for $1.00. I simply added some flowers I already had and hung it on my old cabinet door. Have a wonderful weekend. I hope we all have some spring like weather! ~ let's keep our fingers crossed ~ ~ ~ sharing here ~ ~ Town and Country Living - It's A Spring Thing

Last summer we bought a new chair for our family room. It's the Voltaire Lounge Chair from Home Decorators. I had my eye on it for awhile and waited until they had a really good sale to buy it. The image below is how it looks on their website. The color is called natural linen but it's really more of a light gray than it appears on their site. I was a little disappointed by that but otherwise we have been very happy with the chair and it's really very comfortable. I like that it has so many nice details like the tufting  and the nailhead trim on the arms. My favorite detail is the wooden feet with the casters! I know I sound like a commercial for Home Decorators but  unfortunately  they are not paying me for this post. Just wanted to show you my chair and mention that sometimes it is worth taking a chance to purchase  furniture that you have only seen online. I think it can be very scary but somet...

Hey you guys, I finally have pictures of our new bathroom with all of the accessories and fun stuff. This is our kids' bathroom so I had fun decorating it for them. The picture below is what you see as you approach the bathroom from the hallway. Then, looking straight ahead, you see two of the three windows that make up the dormer we added to our second story.   The dormer gave us the space we needed to     enlarge what was a very tiny bathroom. Around the corner is the tub area. My son is 16 and my daughter is 12 so I tried to choose colors and accessories that would work for both of them. You know, like this sign with the Bathroom Rules. And a clock to keep them moving in the mornings. Hooks for towels and a big basket for dirty clothes. Or at least I will have somewhere to put them after I pick them up off the floor!  : ) They even have a basket handy with extra rolls of toilet paper. I found this bench...

I recently bought my second ever can of Annie Sloan chalk paint. This time I bought Coco. I used it to makeover this little table at the end of the hall by our master bedroom. Here is what it looked like before. I painted the main part of the table with ASCP Old White and the drawer fronts with the Coco.  I was surprised when the drawer pulls came off in four separate pieces. I decided to leave off the back plate for a more simple look  and brushed on a little of the old white onto the pulls.  The top was accessorized with a little basket I purchased at the shop where I bought the paint. Of course I couldn't go in there and only buy the paint, could I?  I like how my porcelain birds look in it.  Now don't be jealous, but I also added my huge collection of 5 old thread spools. The one marked "Sox" was our kitty's toy but not anymore ~ sorry Sox! I don't think you can buy anything for 15 cents anymore and ...

Hi Everyone, My post last year on blue kitchen cabinets received a lot of  views (a lot for my blog I should say) so I thought I would do another one this year. I think I could look at pretty kitchens all day long so it is fun for me to search for inspiring photos to share. I hope you like these too.
