A little spring… a little late…

Hi friends,

I seriously slacked BAD on Easter/spring decorating this year. As in… almost non-existent. Isn’t that sad?  I think so. But I just didn’t have it in me. It was just SOOOO cold and I was in a spring funk. Brrrrr does not make me feel like bunnies and flowers. Though you would think after 36 years living in this state I would KNOW we only get 4 warm months a year and they don’t start until June.

*Shakes head* I hope someday I can convince the mister to move somewhere warm. I really hate the weather here.

Any way… I did make a few Spring purchases from Traci at

York Mountain Primitives

that I want to share before it’s to late and you are all wondering why I am sharing bunnies an July!! LOL!

In the farmhouse kitchen…

Isn’t this set just the cutest? I really love him.

Tracy also sent me this sweet little heart as a thank you.

So perfectly stitched with love. Thank you Tracy.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Until next time…

Hi friends…

Still in the kitchen… on the other side...

Fall in the kitchen…


Hi Friends…

Happy Fall!



I’ve been obsessed with pinterest more than usual lately. Is that even possible? So many beautiful fall homes to look at and inspire me. I’m obsessed!

While I am looking there… here are a few more of mine in the kitchen.

PUMPKINS!!!

Fall is coming...


Hi Friends, 

I hope all is well with everyone! I have been a terrible blogger lately and I do hope and summer comes to an end I will find more time to get back to it. I haven't stopped blogging... I have just been really busy! 

In the mean time... though late... the pumpkin hoarder is in full swing at fall decorating. 

A few pics from fall the kitchen... more to come.

~ A Farmhouse Kitchen Makeover ~

Hi Friends, 


Happy Friday to you! I hope everyone has something fun or relaxing planned this weekend. 


Tonight I'm going to try to find it in me to work on that dining room table full of bees birds and bunnies I posted a few days back. Phew. Lots to keep me busy there! 

Tomorrow I'm going for a dress fitting out of town for a friends wedding. I'm kinda freaking out about it because I've already lost 12 pounds in 8 weeks (yep... down another today! woohoo!) and you can bet by her September wedding I'm gonna be a skinny lady! LOL! So I will just have to have it altered to the max closer to then and pray it looks ok. 

Sunday... I'm hoping to get back to decorating again and get it done. You know how that goes though! Move one thing and it snowballs into a decorating avalanche. You know it does! You have been there! LOL! 

And speaking of decorating avalanches... that's exactly what happened in the kitchen! 

This was the jelly cabinet area in the kitchen BEFORE

And then I got this shelf for $5.99 at the Goodwill and you know what happened from there!

I will let the pics speak for themselves. 

My new drabbier Farmhouse look.

And lastly I added this bench and some crocks. :) 

I would LOVE to fill these with wooden utensils!!!!! Oh how I would! 

IMAG3478

So there you have it. My New farmhouse kitchen. I hope you like it. I'm not done. But I didn't want to keep you waiting any longer. We shall revisit when more changes are made and spring goodies are up! 

Until next time...
