The Kitchen and Great Room

Popping in with a few after Easter photos of the kitchen and dining area...

 

We've been enjoying some nice weather in Alabama this week.

I took photos quickly and then realized you can see dust and smudges.

Remember we live here ;)

Spring Show Continues....

Just popping in today to share more photos of my Spring gardens in Alabama.

The tulips are finishing up and the Encore Azeleas and annuals are just starting.

Enjoy the little tour....

Beginnings of a Statement Wall...

I have been changing a few things in the great room of our new home.

 When we moved into the house the art really threw me off.
We have such a long stretch of wall... what to do with it?
I have some vintage portraits hanging... but they were void of any color.

I wanted a bit of my blues... and a new fresh look.

So I added some barn prints I had blew up into posters.

They were 4-12 dollars each and I reused frames I had.

I painted them all black....in a high gloss spray paint.

My Favorite Spring Blooming Flower Bulbs...

Just wanted to take a few minutes to wish you a Happy Easter this weekend...

and talk about some lovely bulbs I am growing this year in my garden!

Spring is Here!

Spring is Sprung in North Alabama!!

Thought you might enjoy a tour of my front gardens today...

Remember we just moved into the house a few months ago.

This is our first Spring and I cannot wait to plant this full of color.

But I am happy with the few blooms I have...

Modern Shelves in my Office

Hello there... just a quick update from my last post about my office.

I ended up ordering these two smaller shelf units. 

They were half price of what I had been looking at.

And narrower... which works better with the space.

 I love the barnwood finish and the modern style.

 I will be adding storage bins soon... but for now they have a bit of pretty.

Here is the link if you want to order them.

 $59 from Walmart

Been busy with my job and the girls.

My parents are coming for a visit this weekend.

I am missing them, its been since Christmas.

Hope all is well....Brooke

Vintage Blues in the Great Room

Welcome back... two posts in a week!

I've made a few simple changes in the great room lately.

Been adding more denim blues... which I cannot get enough of.

 It all started with my rug and curtains....

 I love how warm and homey this room is becoming.
It is a HUGE space with 10 foot ceilings.
I want it to be comfortable and welcoming.

Spring Hutch & Dining Area

 Welcome back!
I hope your having a good week so far.
Today I am sharing my antique hutch with some Spring touches.

I am keeping things light and simple in the new house.

I love all the deep blues, but pretty much everything else is neutrals.

New Rug In My Pretty Home Office...

 This post is a bit overdue...
I ordered this rug before Christmas and have been in love with it.
But I never shared it on the blog.

This is a Wayfair rug called Castleford Beige.
Mine is an 10 by 12... I love how large it is.
Plus I got it on sale for less than $100!

Recently I have added a few Spring touches...

Including a new wreath...

Around The Great Room

Some random photos of the great room today...

A Clean, Simple Kitchen

Welcome back my dear readers....

 I haven't shared the kitchen much since we moved into the house...

So today lets take a look around.

Refresh of Rustic Shelves

 Hello again...

I am continuing my after Christmas decorating.

My hubby made me these shelves in the niche before the holidays.

The After Christmas Fireplace...

So not all of my Christmas is put away...
but a good portion of it is.

After the holidays my mantle looked a bit bare....
If you want to how I had it... CLICK HERE.

 I don't want a ton of decor here, but something....
I have big plans for some large lanterns... but as of yet...
I am making do with what I have on hand.
