Open Kitchen Shelves

Open kitchen shelves are so pretty. I love this inspirational kitchen from BHG:

So, on my trip to Ikea I got these shelves and found a spot for them in my kitchen

I added a small white table below the shelves for my Kitchen Aid.

This unused area in my kitchen is now so useful and cheerful.

Have a nice day

Master Bedroom Update and Ikea Finds

The new centerpiece of my master bedroom is this adorable sweet pillow from Honey Pie Designs on ETSY.

A few other additions to my room are from Ikea:

Fiddle Leaf Fig for $13.00!

White Ivory Cable Knit Blanket for $30.00 and it is so soft and cozy.

I got 3 of these frames for $17.00 each and will use them for some of Marks photos of Lake Arrowhead.

Happy weekend!

Framed Kitchen Towel

The Lily Pad Cottage Blog inspired me to make a new sign with a kitchen towel from Cost Plus World Market.

Here is my version:

World Market also has this sign that I put in my kitchen window:

Master Bedroom Remodel

My Master bedroom has new paint! The color is Benjamin Moore – Stone House.

The new dressers are from Macy’s. Some of Marks photos of Lake Arrowhead will be going on this wall.

The white chair is from Ikea and the lamp is from the Lamps Plus Outlet. The brown pillows on the bed are from Pottery Barn. The rest of the décor is from Home Goods. My good friend and neighbor, Karen,  helped me with all the decorations.

Charlie loves being on our bed.

Happy Sunday.

My master bedroom painting starts on Monday. I plan on using Benjamin Moore Stone House. The same one I used in the Guest Room. Here is my inspiration:
Two beauties from The Wood Grain Cottage.

And this one from BHG is so calming.

So so pretty… I want my room to have a very calm, comforting and cozy feel.

Have a Happy Day.
