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 ;)

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.

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

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.

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.

Christmas Fireplace 2017

 Hello again... yes... it's time!
My first Christmas post of 2017!!

 This is our first Christmas in our new home.
Last year we were living in Alabama, but in the rental.
We promised ourselves a big Christmas this year.

Not So Much A Dining Room....

Hello again dear friends...

Yes, it has been a bit since I posted!

Fall is a busy time with my girls and family.

Today I wanted to share my dining room.

It is right by the front door as you enter our home.

But I did not need a dining room....

So what did I do???

It's a pretty office/entry now.

Almost To Close On The New House....

 Hello dear readers...
We will be closing on the house a week from today!
September 25th.
So I wanted to do a quick update today before things get too busy.

{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.

{Saturday Shopping} May 13, 2017

Yes, I have been in a shopping mood.
I go in phases.
But with the new build I am in full on hunt mode.

So here are a few things I really took to this week.
Maybe it's just what you are looking for too.
