Easter is still about a month away but I’ve started bringing a little of the holiday into my home, along with touches of spring. I love the colors of spring and Easter decorating … I’ve always been attracted to white and pastels. All week a group of us bloggers are bringing a little Spring and…

To help beat the cabin fever that has been settling in, I ran out to the store and picked up a houseplant, and I don’t know if it was the weather affecting me or what, but I thought this cute little ivy could use some color … so I made colorful button flowers to brighten…
It’s time to celebrate! The snow is almost gone!! Not only that, but I heard it’s supposed to be 60 degrees on Sunday! It was even pleasant enough to take a walk outside with hubby and we saw about 20 robins in the field looking for worms. This inspired me to play around with some…

No doubt about it, I’m a huge fan of open shelving in the kitchen. I find I actually keep my open shelves more tidy than my closed cabinets, which is a good thing! I’m kind of crushing on this color green that covers the floor-to-ceiling open shelving unit! Farmhouse Kitchen I’m also a huge fan…
Ah, the colors of spring! I love them all! Pink, yellow, lavender, spring green, pale blue, and more. The scent of spring intoxicates me, as well. A whiff of fragrant lilacs mingled with the smell of fresh earth warming up. What’s not to love? Today I’m sharing some spring color over at Jennifer Rizzo’s blog…
Spring has officially sprung but we still have a few remnant snow piles hangin’ on for dear life. This time of year I find it harder to pass by the floral section of the grocery store without snatching up a few blooms. I can’t wait until I can clip fresh flowers from the yard, but…
Don’t let the cheery spring decor in my farmhouse kitchen fool you … snow is still on the ground outside! But tomorrow’s temperature is supposed to be above 50 degrees so I’m hoping all that white fluffy stuff melts and washes away. When the weather warms up I like to do some editing around the…
I love spring! The lengthening of days, birds chirping outside, spring bulbs poking their flowery heads out of the ground, and the promise of life that this season brings. I would be happy living in a Disney movie with Mr. Bluebird on my shoulder! I know that might sound a little dorky, but it’s true….
Last week more than 30 bloggers came together for a spring inspiration mega party and over 300 projects were linked up! That’s a lot of creativity and work all in one location. I’ve spent time combing through many of those projects that were shared and want to highlight a few of my favorites, which ended…
Sometimes I get tired of looking at my own blog and I’ve decided it’s time for some updates. The first change I’m making is to update my home tour. Each room will eventually be listed in the menu under “Home Tour” above. Today I’m starting with my farmhouse kitchen tour. Following are a few snippets…
Snow, snow, go away! I’m trying to push away winter by adding bits of spring decorating throughout our home, and I went all out in our farmhouse kitchen nook.

Today is March 1st and it definitely came in like a lion. The wind was blowing and snow was flying all afternoon! But I’m not going to let it get me down. I made a quick and easy botanical banner to complement my spring decor in the kitchen that I plan to share with you…
