What I'm Loving Right Now

Hello everyone!

Just thought I'd share a few things that are making me smile right now.  Nothing much. Just simple, yet pretty.

I'm loving my burlap draped ottoman with pillows in the kitchen.


You may recall I moved my chair out of here to use in the family room.  So, I had this empty spot that needed a little something.  I remembered that I had the ottoman (that I wasn't using) in my basement.  So, I decided to rescue it and see if I could make it work in here.


So here it is.  Simply using what I had and it fills an empty corner.



Another thing I'm loving is this magazine cover.  It embodies the look that I love all in one picture!


And last but not least, I'm loving this french bottle drying rack that I just ordered.  I can't wait for it to get here.  I'll show you where it ends up after I receive it.


So, that's just a bit of what I'm loving these days. 

Just thought I'd let you know that things are getting ready to be very busy around here too.  May and June will be a full calendar.  My posts may not be as frequent as a result.  But I will be visiting all of you. 

Thanks for stopping by!

~ Kelly ~

    That ottoman does work nicely in that spot, Kelly. I was looking for that magazine this week ~ I'm heading to Lowe's this coming week and I know they have a nice selection of magazines, so I'll check there.

    Your ottoman looks like a comfy spot for taking your shoes off. I love your warm colored wood floor with the light walls and black doors.

    Great inspiration, Kelly. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has to fill a corner if it looks empty. Your stool with the burlap pillows fit nicely in that spot.

    I love what you are loving right now, Kelly.

    The corner by the doors is beautiful. We are going to paint the doors in the kitchen/hearth room and the front door black. I love that look.

    Kelly, your corner looks great with your rescue piece! I love how you just draped a piece of burlap over it. I love your french bottle drying rack you've ordered. I've seen a few here and there but they have been very expensive!! Enjoy your day, Gail

    Your corner with the ottoman looks wonderful, such cute pillows ~ I love when I can use something I already have. The room on the magazine cover is beautiful and I know we all like to change things up from time to time but I have to say, your home is already just as beautiful!!

    I think I have that same coffee sack needing to be sewn into a pillow. I'm avoiding thinking of burlap, or maybe I am avoiding sewing?

    I love the color scheme in the corner of that room... that black door, the warm wood floor and brown burlap, contrasted on the white wall. Trifecta!
