Hello Friends! Have you heard the news? Winter is over and today it's officially spring! Clearly, this summer loving girl is super excited and to celebrate, I have the most darling DIY. You see, I've been hippity hopping my way through a bunch of Easter crafts over the past week in anticipation. The colors and the sweet bunny faces have been making me smile. So I can't wait to share all that holiday cuteness with you. It all started a few weeks ago, when I came across these festive Easter transfers and I had to have them. Aren't they precious? Anyway, I placed an order and started dreaming about all the things I could make with them...but hesitantly, because as we all know, sometimes when you order online, you get a stinker. However, I'm happy to report that when these transfers showed up, they were gorgeous and worked so well. A definite win. While I admit to going a bit crazy with my DIYs - that's your cue to get ready for more! - today I'm only sharing t...
I live in a cottage and I adore it. I know it's not for everyone, but there's something appealing about the design quirks and vintage details. Not to mention the way the entire dwelling just feels like it hugs me. As a matter of fact, I'm such a fan of cottage living that this is actually my second one. Both were built in the 1920's. Both have been located in the same small beach community. And, as expected, both of my historic homes have had tiny rooms. The smallest being the bathrooms.
When I was small, my two favorite things to play were house and school. I don't think that's a surprising fact, I mean they've always been pretty popular games. Especially among little girls. I loved making mud pies, decorating the inside of my playhouse with loose leaf wallpaper and using that red and blue double sided stick pen. Of course, the most challenging part of these make believe sessions, was battling it out with friends to be the central character. Mom in house, teacher in school.
Spring, spring, spring! The countdown is on my friends, and the fact that it's now less than 20 days away is making me downright giddy. As we welcome this first day of March, it's honestly all I can think about. Yes, yes, I'm aware that in my neck of the woods, it's been known to snow until April. Ok, and rarely, there have even been a few random flakes spotted in May. But, today, I'm ignoring those facts, opening my car windows and turning my attention to bunnies, daffodils, colorful outfits.
Where do you hang the curtain rod? It's a big question and not an easy one to answer with so many different types of curtains and window styles. Lots of supposed rules. Well, here's what I say. Apparently, I've violated a very important decorating rule. And people are pretty up in arms about it. That's ok. I've been doing it for years and I've got a pretty tough shell. You see, the thing is, I don't believe in decorating rules. I think they're nonsense. And firmly entrenched in my 50s I can confidently say, I'm smart enough to never say never. Especially when it comes to decorating.
