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 ;)

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

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.

All Is Merry and Bright

Happy Holidays Dear Friends...

Yes, I know I've been absent for quite a bit.

I had to replace my digital camera at a bad time for bloggers.

But we are all set now... and I hope to see you more often again.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

We certainly did.

New Rustic Shelves in the Great Room

 Welcome back my dear friends.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families!

My hubby and I are off much of this week.

Yesterday we started several DIY projects.

I am so excited to say my reclaimed looking shelves are done!

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.

New Wall Clock, The Fireplace and Great Room....

Just a quick update today...

 My hubby got the big wall clock hung for me...
I am loving it!
I found it at Ashely Furniture when we ordered the new couch.
It should be coming any day now...
It will be going in the study, the room with the pretty windows.

 I have the wires hidden on the fireplace now.
Were not hanging the TV, it might be replaced with a larger one.
I am looking for two lanterns for each side of the TV.

Almost Completed Kitchen!

 I honestly don't remember what I shared with you last time...
but so much has changed since then!

 Here is what the kitchen looks like this week!

 We are about three weeks from the big move in day!

  I love how bright the counters and back splashes are!

{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.

{Vintage Style} Treasures On The Sideboard

I shared a little glimpse of this last week...
But wanted to give you a closer look at the sideboard.

{Color Inspirations} Denim Blues

 So yes, I am starting to find things for the new house.
Today I ordered these lovely drapes from Wayfair after looking online for quite a bit.
I had been inspired by another home's blue drapes
and how they drew so much attention in a neutral room.

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!

{Vintage Style} Follow Your Heart

Hello again and welcome back...

This has been a busy week here in Alabama.

We hope to start the build in the next few days.

Possibly as early as beginning of next week.

Praying for dry weather for a few days.

{Vintage Style} Wire Wrapped Vases

 Good morning and welcome back...

Yes, I finally am going to start posting some pretty things again.

I know building homes is fun... but decorating is my thing.

Yesterday Morgan and I went to Decatur, AL to the 

Vintage Market Days of North Alabama

Welcome To Several New Followers....

 When I opened my email this morning I was so happy...

To see so many new follower requests!

I have missed blogging so much.

But some days with us in the rental...

it feels like a hotel room.

Not  the pretty, homey spaces I like to share.

But soon, very soon... I hope to be settled into our new home.

And sharing all the spaces and ideas.

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.
