Happy Spring!!

I kept Posy Ann Saturday afternoon, so of course we had a photo shoot!
She and her babydoll Hugums LOVED playing in the daffodils!

She loves being outside and flowers...I think she was named appropriately;)

Posy Ann also loves to nap in grown up beds! Being so cute can be tough on a little girl!

DIY

Okay, here is my excuse for not posting in forever...

What do you think? I turned this old egg basket into a chandelier in my kitchen! I know it's a little funky, but it's been quite the conversation piece. It wasn't as involved as you might think, but like every other home project it took 3 trips to Lowe's before it was complete. The quirkiness of it has really grown on me and I really love the design it makes on the ceiling!! I've got another one just like this in yellow I'm currently using to hold towels in my bathroom. If I ever get my act together I'm going to make a chandelier out of it too. And when that happens I'll have an Etsy shop with lots of other vintage homemade goodies for sale! Now, onto getting those eyesore cabinets painted!

Smart and Small

My kitchen, much like this one featured in House Beautiful, is small...and I'd like to think it's Smart as well!
I like the look of shelving instead of cabinets, but then again I know how unorganized my cabinets can become and love that you never know it unless you open them up! The color of the lower cabinets is great and just blends right in. I'm getting ready to paint my own. I'm leaning toward a gray/blue color with something similar to this white semitransparant glaze on them.

I'm in LOVE with this small farmhouse sink! And the faucet too! In my next home I will have a farmhouse sink;)

As small as this kitchen may be they still found room for great accesories, like this woven tray to organize everyday items. It's got me thinking of a place to put my bamboo tray on my counter at home! Adding your own unique touches can make any room homey and inviting.

On the hunt...

I want to refinish an old 4 drawer chest, but I need some inspiration with some new drawer pulls...

It is currently an ugly green color and I want to paint it white and rough up the edges a bit. This pink would look pretty...maybe?

I really like this one too of twisted vines...


And, really love this one! The chest is in my bedroom now...mainly because it won't fit anywhere else. But, this pull would go with everything in my bedroom or out. I found all of these at Anthropologie. They seem to be the only place with cute/different kinds of drawer pulls....do you have any suggestions of other place I can look??

Curb Appeal


This walkway is lined with lavender plants, wouldn't that smell yummy?!


The beautiful weather this weekend, daffodils beginning to bloom, and HGTV's Curb Appeal the Block has me itching to vamp up my very unappealing curb!
