Magazine Rack

Happy Sunday

Hope your weekend is going great.

I was minding my own business in the Home Goods the other day.  Just taking long romantic walks up and down the aisles when this rack caught my attention.  

Yep! I stopped in my tracks for this sweet numbered wire rack.  I had a good idea of what I wanted to do with this.  First though it needed some white paint lol!

So this rack got a nice coat of white paint and then I moved it into my office area.

Now I have a storage place for all my magazines and catalogs.

Sometimes those nice romantic strolls down the aisles of Home Goods pay off!!!

Have a great start to the new week.
My living room project is coming out of my head and into my decor!  I just have to wait on some slipcovers being made for me and then I will have the reveal for you.

Chippy Arch Window Headboard

I have had this old chippy arch window for a long time.  I love this window and have moved it all around my homes for all kinds of different looks.

It is really a great piece to have for a new look in different rooms when I feel I need a little change.
 Since I do not have a headboard on this twin bed I thought this window might be a great decor piece to hang over the head of the bed.

It compliments my angel picture.

This is the section in my 2nd bedroom that acts as three rooms in my house.  I have this area as a guest room and another area is my office and also a small area that is a make up area.  When you live in a small home you have to be creative and utilize every inch of living space.


Wishing all of you a great day today.

One Thing Leads To Another!

Hope your Easter was wonderful.  Here is a pic of my two grands.  Abby is going to be 8 in May and Charlotte will be 2 in June.  My mom will be 86 in August.  All three are such pretty girls.

Ok you know the old saying one thing leads to another!  Well I got this new rug at Birch Lane for my living room and now that is starting a whole twist to changing a few things up in this living room.

This new rug got me thinking!!!!  I have been thinking about how I could make this space different in a small way with a big impact.  Every time I walk into this space I kept feeling like it was missing something to pull it all together. Now that I got this rug it was screaming at me.  So stay tuned to see what I add to this room to make it have a whole new feel.  All because of a new rug!!!!

I think you will all agree that rug needs a little somethin somethin!
Stay tuned.

Happy New Week.
Have a good day today.

Happy Easter

Some of you asked me to take a pictures of the Expand O Matic table in action!

Here is the Expand O Matic table closed and in it's cabinet

Easy Peasy to open up and pull out.  Then just add the leaves that hook together.

I needed seating for 8.

I added my new table cloth I got from Home Goods.

I love the soft bunny colors of this table cloth.  It match so well with my soft pinks and creams in my centerpiece.

Little Peggy was trying to nap on her chair.   She was a little upset with me that I was waking her up by setting the table and taking pics as you can see by the look on her face!!!!

We are a no fuss group.  We gather to eat, drink and celebrate our blessings on Easter.  Then we do an Easter Egg hunt.  This year with the weather here in Illinois being so "un spring like" will be doing the egg hunt in the downstairs family room.

My pictures are very cloudy and gloomy like our weather.  It would have been so much better if some sunshine would have come out.  Just take my word for it the table is looking very pretty.

Wishing all of you a wonderful Easter as you gather with family and friends tomorrow.

Easter

Hello everyone.

Recapping my Spring and Easter Decor.

Wishing all of you a wonderful week and Happy Easter.

Vintage Hangers

Hello Everyone.

I was out in the garage digging through some old pieces I had in storage.   I found these great old iron hangers.

They were so cool with their scroll design.  I had two of them.  Yep these needed to come out of storage and into my house somehow!

 Terry screwed them onto my old french window in the entry way.  Now my french window has become a hanger for the entry way.

Gives my french window a new purpose in my decor.

Spring umbrella, garden boots and bunny wreath are more decor to welcome Spring into the house.

The birdhouse replaced the bunny and wreath on the door.  Thought the birdhouse looked cute with the picket fence.

Another bunny to welcome guests for Easter.

Do you see what is wrong with this picture?!! Yep an empty wall in my tiny cottage home!!! What?!!!!  Hoping to remedy that soon with a new piece or two.

My little design assistant Peggy is on her white chair that she loves.  She gets the window chair so she can see outside.  I sit and read in the other chair.

Hope you are all having fun playing with Spring and Easter decor in your homes.  I host Easter so I will be excited to use my newly re loved Expand- O -Matic dining table.


Have a wonderful weekend.  If you celebrate Easter enjoy getting ready to be with family and friends.
Hugs,
Kris

Switching Can Make A New Look

Sometimes I like to  switch things up and move things around I can get a whole new look for 0$ spent.

Plus switching things up can give new purpose to decor pieces.

This is one wall in my living room where I had the picket fence piece and the old architectural birdhouse and porch post.  They needed to come down and find new purpose.  Ignore the pile in my chair of all the decor off my table.  Keeping it real lol!

This picket found a new purpose on my front door.  I think it is cute and gives a Spring/Summer vibe to my cottage door.

It is so hard to grab a good picture with how the sunshine hits the front of the house.   This gives some cute curb appeal to my entryway.

I cannot wait to be planting flowers and enjoying some much needed warmth and sunshine.  Now the bunny in my wreath has a little picket fence below her.

I am doing some other decor change ups to things around the house.  I love changing things up to get a whole new look.  I love change and love that I can do it for no money spent.

Do you like changing things around in your house to get a new look?

Hope your weekend was fabulous.  Wishing all of you a wonderful start to the new week.

It was 50 degrees here in Illinois today.  Feels so good to us.  Just love when the sun comes out too. I am so over winter and need Spring to arrive and stay and then Summer!!!

Hugs,
Kris
