The Search Has Ended...

The Search for the perfect couch pillows has ended!

I walked into Bealls Outlet while they were putting their new merchandise on the shelves and I immediately grabbed these 4 matching pillows. New Year, new look! I'm going for French Country mixed with traditional decor in 2016.

I will be adding plants in cream vases, I have already spotted a few possibilities from Hobby Lobby.

Trying a New Color Scheme...

In our kitchen I'm trying out a new color scheme that I'm not sure about...

I'm not sure because I've always used more traditional colors but after watching the HGTV show Fixer Upper I liked the cooler tones but it's like starting all over from scratch. Everything I have is country/traditional. Not sure how long I'll keep it. 

I did find this basket at Bealls Outlet that I'm loving next to my stove. 

Mr Roo had to make an appearance too! 

Happy Monday!

Spring Greens

I don't have much of a green thumb but when Home Depot had these huge Boston Ferns on sale for only $5.00 last Saturday I knew I had to purchase and give it a go...here's hoping I don't kill it!

Here is the Bonsia Ponytail plant that I've managed to keep it alive for almost 4 years! It really loves this corner of our kitchen and whenever we move it is placed in our kitchen next to a window. 

I'm thinking about setting up a little container garden on our porch this year, We really want to try our hand at growing Tomatos in FL this year. 

Have any of you had a container garden?

Guest Bathroom Makover

Remember that BigLots haul I showed you about 2 months ago? 

I'm almost finished with our Guest bathroom, just need to find some Artwork for the walls. 

Not sure if the basket with hand towels will stay. 

Just not sure what to put on these 2 walls. 

Still looking for a tray for those Guest hand towels. 

Loving how these towels match the shower curtain. The towels are thick and nicely sized. 

I'm wondering about adding a nice clock in here and a black scroll wrought iron piece, any ideas Ladies? I'd love a fresh set of eyes and ideas!

IKEA~Yes Please

So this past Weekend Husband and I made our very first trip to IKEA!

I know, Where have we been!

Husband was looking for some Desk ideas and I just wanted to browse and take it all in. 

As we entered I saw this Beautiful bed

And Instantly fell in Love!

And then we both saw this

Love the cabbage roses but after awhile Husband admitted it wasn't for him. 

Then...

We both saw this and we Both love how cozy it looks. I love the colors and patterns. We haven't updated our bedroom in about forever so Slowly I'll be using this as our Inspiration and change out our Master. 

I did purchase this IKEA URSULA cozy couch throw. It reminds me of a Cableknit sweater and is so cozy on our couch. The color goes perfect with our BHG flowered couch throw. 

It was a Great Valntines Weekend! Hope you had a great one too!

Organization Week 2~ Laundry Room

I'm cleaning my Laundry room, it's not dirty just alittle dust on the shelves. 

I hung my Roosters on the wall opposite the washer/dryer and added my antique canning jars next to the window. So Pretty when the sun glistens through the glass! 

Here are a few pictures 

Here is a more in-depth video where I can share how nice this room really is.

Fall in the Kitchen

Sadly it seems that we've lost a box of my Fall decorations in our move so I'm forced to decorate simply this year. I started this morning with our new Kitchen and had to stop because our little guy is sick with a high fever and stayed home from school, we are snuggling on the couch while Tylonel starts to work. 

I'm still loving my hand-made Scarecrow that I made a few years ago in Ohio. He doesn't look to worn from all the moves he's made! 

I like how this grouping is going to look together, I just need to find some Sunflowers at my local grocery store. The candle is "Spiced Pumpkin Pie" from Better Homes and Gardens this year. 

I'm loving my White table scape this year. The white Pumpkins are from Target and we like to fill them with candy for Halloween. 

I also have the large white Pumpkin from Target on our Breakfast bar area. 

I will share our living room with you soon as I can, depending on who else gets sick now, ain't it always like this when School starts?

Starting....

It's starting to look more like Home each day!

Enjoy your Weekend! 

I'll be decorating more on Saturday and posting pics on Monday. 

Home Office Organization and Placement

The placement of my desk is very important to me. I need to be able to see around me and have a very calm but pretty area. 

See this area? Not peaceful. It's right next to my Husbands desk area and he is not an Organized guy at times. 

So today we moved my desk to another wall. 

It took us about 2 hours to move the desk, get the phone set up and I simply took my time organizing. 

I'm really liking that my Laptop has an permanent home, Plus when we have guests over I can close my desk up.

Welcome Home

Welcome home..

This Summer 2014 we signed a lease on a great house. Even though it's a Rental it's in fantastic shape plus it's in a great little neighborhood that is within walking distance to a lake/park.

We are fully moved in and have been here for about 3 weeks. So far all 3 kids have made friends and most nights can be found riding bikes and playing legos outside in the driveways until the streetlights come on.

It's been so nice being able to tell the kids to go play and have fun but to come inside when the Streetlights come on in the evenings, We've never done that before.

Yesterday I was busy getting the 2 younger kids enrolled in their new School and Crystal is getting ready to start her Virtual schooling on-line. School starts in another 2 weeks and I will be getting those school supplies bought.

I hope to have a few rooms and vignettes to share with you very soon. 

Enjoy your Week!

New Zip Code- We've Moved

We've moved!

We are unpacking boxes and setting up a new house that we are Leasing.

After 2 years in an exceptionally small house, It was time to move forward.

I'm very excited to show you our new space and all the decorating options that I now have.

It's been a very long 2 weeks of packing up the old house and car-loads back and forth from old house to new house. We are in the home stretch though with minimal cleaning at the old house.

For now I will be putting up my feet and enjoying the rest of my Sunday.

Re-Purposed Command Board

I had this Command center made for me a couple of months ago but after living with it in this space, our long skinny hallway, We have come to the conclusion that it simply was not working out for us. With 3 kids we need something larger that will hold numerous papers in an organized understandable way. I didn't want to sell this piece, I love it. So off to Pinterest I went to browse at some fresh ideas.

I decided to re-purpose it into my Necklace holder, so many pretty pictures on Pinterest of different ones in so many different ways. I cleared off my dresser top, dusted, purged and came up with this nice Dresser top. I can display my Necklaces and most of my beloved pottery pieces that all 3 of our kids have made in elementary art class for us.

Such a nice change on this Monday!

I vlogged about it if you have the time to watch, Enjoy!

Crafty Organizational Tools

This is our mudroom hallway that we use more than our front door. This large picture was given to me by my Sister acouple of Christmas's ago and we love the saying but in my search to be more organized and needing more space to hang notes from Teachers ect. other than our fridge, We needed something more. We where at Staples buying my Day-Timer Planner and I saw some lovely cork boards but many were out of our price range. So the search went on...

While on facebook one night searching the sales page for my town I found Rough Lemon..Oh My, She paints such Lovely pieces of Furniture. This was in our Budget and fits our decor perfectly right now. So now when the 3 kids get home from School if there is a important teachers note or an activity that we do not want to miss we can use the clips and we will be reminded every morning as we walk by..nothing will ever be missed again (Here's Hoping)..

See that Horse picture, Crystal our oldest drew that free hand just by looking at a picture in a book..she has some talent!

It's raining here today and I have a sick girlie at home so we are watching random T.V. shows and taking it easy. 

Hope your day is Relaxing!

Are We Home or Just Visiting? House Pics Included in Your Stay!

Don't they look so Excited! This was after a full day of driving that took 2 days to get to FL.

This is our 2 story 5 bedroom new rental, I did manage to find the time to hang my Americana wreath on the front door.

This is our front formal living room..

Very huge kitchen...My Roosters have got to somehow get to the top of the cabinets...lol...

Our eating area....not much of a backyard compared to our almost 6 back in OH.

This would be the family room but it will be part sewing room for my Mom and office space for my Husband...A room with many hats!

I know it's not very pretty right now and really boring. It took me 4 years to make my Farm house comfy cozy and now we move to FL...

Any and All decorating ideas for these HUGE walls Please??!!
