TWO:


Lauren Leiss gave some great advice on how to relax a formal more traditional home. 

Often times a traditional home can feel a bit pinned-up!! Lauren is a young, fresh designer with a new take on Traditional design. I always am inspired by her. Click HERE to go to her post. You will get some great information and inspiration.

Melissa Michaels from The Inspired Room had this darling idea for an indoor garden.

With all of the cold weather I know many that are just aching for Spring to get here. Until it does, this is a great way to bring Spring inside your home. She has some more fun ideas for small gardening projects on her post.

And It BEGINS!!!

   

Happy Monday to all of you out in blogland!! 

Today is the day!!

You might be wondering, “What is today?”

Today is shut down  the kitchen day…….

In the beginning stages.

It is kind of fun seeing everything all lined up.

There is no mistaking what colors are in my home, white, yellow, greens, blues and once in awhile a touch of pink.

I have some red transferware for my touch of pink!!

Drawers all stacked up, pots and pans ready to be used, Ooops, no cooking gas line will be off . Darn looks like take out for awhile!

The cupboards are bare!! Just like Old Mother Hubbard!!

There will be no more washing dishes for a couple of weeks. This 35 year old sink is going bye-bye!!

Would you like to see my new kitchen?

This is the cooking area!

Here is where I am keeping my new china that my sweet hubby bought me. It is genuine Chinette!!

This is how we will be living for the next two weeks. 

Tomorrow is demo day so bye bye to my tile counter tops.

Wednesday is template day so they can cut my new counter tops out of these beauties…..

I will keep you posted on our progress!! 

Wish us luck!!!

 

 

Three Things That Inspired Me This Week!

   

Inspiration is a word we use quite often, but I would venture to say what inspires each of us is going to be different. 

In design I seem to see less, and less that inspires me these days, but I attribute that to the many, many years I have been reading about design, and of all the wonderful images I have seen.  

When I see something that inspires me I like to pass it on to you in hopes that you will become inspired to new possibilities.

I have a love for numbers and letters and this is right up my alley. 

I am definitely going to try and find a place for this to work in my home. I will be using letters and numbers that represent family members names and birth dates, or an anniversary date. Just think of the fun you can have with this.

My friends Eddie Ross and Jaithan Kochar took a trip to Southern California . While visiting some friends that live by the ocean they had a seafood boil.

( For those of who might not know this, Eddie has started blogging again!)

 Go HERE and check out his blog. Eddie always inspires me and I am thrilled he is back to blogging. Blogland has missed his presence.

Now back to the fish boil.......

This is something I have always wanted to do, and have not done yet. I even looked into having it shipped from Maine, at one time. YES you heard that right there is a company that will do that for you.

I love traditional, blue and white, and a touch of whimsy.  I think by painting the pedestals bright green I am going to get some whimsy. 

This really caught my eye, and this just might be showing up in my family room someday. 

I already have all the elements I need except for the green paint and that will be a simple fix. 

This really excited me!! I know it is not for everyone, but it is definitely a good fit for me.

So there you have my three inspirational finds for this week! I hope these have inspired you!!
