My kind of pretty

I'm feeling crazy busy lately. So...if you don't mind (all 3 of you sweeties who stop by... :) I think I'll just post pics that I like for a bit of time. Just to keep things moving along.

Recently, I pulled out a white pitcher that I had stored in my china cabinet. It is very similar to the one in this picture. I bought 2 packages of $5 tulips from WalMart. They didn't look like much the first day...but after that...wowza! They were gorgeous and changing every hour it seemed. I love tulips but can't remember the last time I bought any. They lasted a good 10 days...and worth every dollar spent.

This week my husband brought a bouquet of flowers to our daughter from Fresh Market and she promptly arranged them in the white pitcher. They look so pretty sitting on our kitchen table. I now vow to keep flowers on our table all year long.

ROCK this room... :)

A designer's house

I came across an awesome post tonight from one of my favorite blogs...Things That Inspire that was done back in May 2009. I oooooh'd and ahhhhh'd all over again. I love this style of decorating...it never grows old on me.

My Mother got all crafty with my kids here on New Years Eve

Another thing I'm loving today!

I'm off to take a bath and go to bed. So sad my tub doesn't look like this.

Christmas Drive-Bys

I've been carrying my camera with me everywhere lately...

the Christmas decorations have been so pretty.

While driving through Homewood, Alabama the other day,

I snapped a couple of pictures.

This door was lovely.

This house is one of my all-time favorites.

It sits on a corner and just looks oh-so-cozy tucked in among the shrubs.

Sorry I didn't get a full shot.

The wreath was the icing on the cake.

This house has been mentioned around blogland recently...look at all that china! :)



I had to keep driving as the yard-man was watching me and I felt like a total stalker. To check out the blog...go here.

Happy Holidays Sweet Blogland Friends!

A kitchen with a view

One day...

I'm going to tear down my cabinets,

bust out the brick wall and have a view like this.

Yes...one day.

Yeah, right.

for future reference

I'm still trying to figure out what to do for chairs in my kitchen. I've got a farmhouse table, 2 chairs to be covered like in the picture, a bench and several chairs from my basement and dining room. And all that fabric I want to use somehow.

I never thought about chairs with covered seats to bring in the fabric. I never really considered a miss-match of white painted chairs either. But now I have. So, I'm just going to tuck this away for future reference (hopefully sooner than later) and I'll let you know what happens with this.

P.S. Joan...I did wash the fabric and it did shrink. I'm happy though...it washed up really well. I have rigged it up over my windows...just to be sure I don't get tired of it. So far so good. Although, my sweet husband did say it reminded him of something used in a bathroom. I have no idea where that came from...why or how...but I'm not even going to question it. I love the fabric and that is that. :)
