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.

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.

Looking Like Christmas Is Coming {In The Great Room}

 Hello again...
Yesterday I shared the fireplace and today I will share the rest of the great room.

 I see all the blogger home tours online this week... all over the top drenched in Christmas.

First Fall House Post - The Antique Hutch Cabinet

Oh my am a glad to share this post!
After over two weeks with no internet--- I am back!!
We are moved into the new house...
but the lines were not connected to the services.
So it took much longer than we expected!

{Saturday Shopping } 5/20/17

I am still on the hunt for unusual blue accents for the new living room area.

Amazon was quick to point out these pillow covers.

I love that they were a little different and will add some print to the area.

And they were cheap... less that $4 each... SOURCE.

{Simple Decorating Ideas} Adding A Touch Of Burlap

Welcome back dear sweet followers...

Today's idea is easy on the pocketbook and quick to do.

But these little touches are so fun and make a big impact.

Spring and Summer are my favorite seasons.

I love warm weather and the brighter colors we can add to our spaces.

So today I am taking a hum-drum little terra cotta pot and faux sedum and adding some country charm.

{Repurposed Furniture} Sweet Vintage Dresser

We've had much more spare time since selling our farmhouse...

And waiting on the new house to be done.

Spare time is not a good thing for me.

I think of too many things I want to be doing.

This is what I found last week.

This lovely vintage girl with a really bad paint job.

And she was CHEAP.... forty bucks cheap.

Do we have room for a project... no.

Do we have any room to store it... no.

But she came home with us. 

The Perfect Floor Lamp....

Yes, I've been shopping.

Guilty.

But I will tell you... I needed it!

ya...ya... I know.

The little rental living room is so dark during the day.

I am missing all my natural light.

My last floor lamp broke in the move....

So I've been on the hunt for a few months.

When we moved down here and I thought I would be a die hard HomeGoods gal.

Don't get me wrong... you can get me in there any day and I will find something.

But Kirkland's has my heart...♥

And it's where I found my perfect floor lamp.

Specifically the Mackinaw Cream Floor Lamp. 

It has the prefect amount of distressing.

And it is HUGE!

68 inches tall... that's almost 6 ft!

New Beginnings.....

Welcome new friends and followers....

well... followers to come!

This is my brand new endeavor.

My previous blog was called "Creative Country Mom"

Maybe you have heard of it?

Lol... I hope so, I hung out there for nine years.

But we are selling our farmhouse and have moved to Alabama.

New home, new start, new blog.

It just felt like it was time.
