So as I wrap up a few of the finishing details in the living room.One thing I keep debating on is switching out the curtains?Right now this is what we havesorry bad pic.I was too lazy to take a recent one real quick.. because there are a lotof new details in the room now,like new pillows, new rug, new lamps, wooden blinds behind the curtains,and you can hardly see them, but they are pretty, solid white,with a linen type stitch throughout.And they are fine, and I do like them,but...there's always a but, isn't there?I can't decide if I want to keep them,or swap them out.Here's what I'm debating :Not this color, but these totally caught my eye.I love the tiny white stripe with the ...

I will never forget how much I LOVED the way my grey walls came outwhen we painted our dining room in this new house.With the crisp white trim, the grey just screamed something you would seeon the cape, or Martha's Vineyard.Which is a look I just love.So simple and clean, and classic.I always chose paint colors with a grey undertone,so it was a no brainer to try Better Homes & Gardens2011 top pick paint color "wood smoke".I loved it so much that at the time, I debated painting the living room the same color,since the two rooms have an open feel.So a few weeks back when I stumbled across this article inNew England Home magazine,I was captivated.Not only do they feature a home in ...

So, I realized after I was going through all my photos for this post, that I'm missing some :( So sad. And I didn't get any photos of us having Easter at our house. Oh well, I guess there is always next year right? Anyways, we have a fairly large row of forsythia bushes in front of our house, so after gathering all my yellow tulips and daffodils, I headed out front to fill in the gaps with a bunch of their branches. ...

{Spring Burlap Wreath}

Well, even though I made this a few weeks back, I still wanted to share my spring wreath(s) with all of you :) I totally have a love for burlap. The texture and the color get me every time. For a while a really wanted burlap throw cushions for our living room, but we do a lot (LOTS) of laying around on the couch, and my husband already complains about the pillows with the beads...(Pier 1 score years ago, and I still love them!), so scratchy just wouldn't go over well. So I added it elsewhere, and first place was this wreath. I followed the tutorial over at Top This Top That, I was totally inspired, gathered all my supplies, and off I was... or so I thought? I already had burlap, and ... Read More about {Spring Burlap Wreath}
