Hello everyone!
I recently made some changes to some rooms in my house (subtle changes), which meant that my antique books found a new home. They had been in my secretary for years! I decided to fill the shelves with more white pitchers and blue glass. I can't get enough of these dishes! I just realized that they are in every room in my house now!
I love the new look. It has a clean look to it now.
The pitcher, below on the left, is a recent find. It's ironstone. I found it at a "new to me" antique store very close to my house.
I added my fresh lavender to an old galvanized bucket.
Here is a sneak peek of what I've been working on in another room.
Don't let this picture fool you, though, and think that I've started adding lots of color and pattern everywhere. I'm just enjoying a touch of it here and there.
Hope you're having a good week so far. I'm still battling my inflammation problems this week. It has now moved on to my stomach. I was just thinking how it's been a long time since my last flare-up. It makes me appreciate the days that I feel good, that's for sure! Hoping that the meds I'm taking will get me well soon.
Thanks for stopping by!

Very pretty! I love the ironstone mixed with the pale blue jars. I can't wait to see what else you are working on. I am feeling under the weather this week too. I got food poisoning on Sunday and it is taking me a bit to bounce back.

love the changes. I just starting collecting ironstone and blue mason jars with the galvanized lids. love how they look paired together. just finished stripping, and priming a vintage corner shelf. it was painted a hideous blue so I'm painting it white with a linens and background. Need lots of cupboard space for all that ironstone. I love the gray color of your secretary and the doors are gorgeous! I've never never seen a secretary like yours. One of a kind.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful styling of the secretary.
ReplyDeleteYou make me want to change some things around the house.
You stay busy creating new looks. Your secretary looks great. I would like some lavender.
ReplyDeleteThe temps are great today. I am sitting on my porch so relaxed and pleasant. Wish it could stay like this forever.
Kelley, I hope you are totally well soon. I like your white things. The china cabinet is wonderful too. Blessings , xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteYour secretary looks gorgeous, Kelly. I really like how you put the beautiful lavendar in the bucket too!
ReplyDeleteI sure love this look, Kelly...the colors are so beautiful! I'm sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well...hope this flare up passes quickly...xo
ReplyDeleteI like the fresh new look for your secretary, Kelly! And, of course, I'm loving your floral paintings! I can't wait to see where you've got them displayed!
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon. I've suffered with IBS (not the same, I know) for all of my adult life, and I know how painful it can be.
LOVE that combination of the blue and white. Hope you're feeling better, Kelly. take it easy!
ReplyDeleteLove the touches of blue Kelly. Your secretary looks so pretty. I cannot wait to see what you are doing with the pictures. Hope you start to feel better soon.

Your secretary is a favorite of mine, and I always like the different ways you've styled it. Looks so fresh and pretty with your newest arrangement.

So pretty! Love the gray cabinet too - would look beautiful in my kitchen! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Kelly ... I love how your awesome pitchers pop against your gorgeous secretary! Of course, the blue bell jars and lavender mixed in are the perfect complement!
ReplyDeleteLove how you designed the secrtary with your white pitchers, glass jars and the bucket with lavender! I like the floral pictures- of course because I love color and flowers! I hope your inflammation settles down :-( That's no fun.
ReplyDeleteGreat new look Kelly..love the pops of blue too!!!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your new project!
Looks great -- and guess what? I have the mate to your "new" pitcher. I found it at an estate sale (where else) a few years ago. I had a teapot with no lid ($2 from the same sale) just like it, but I finally put it in a yardsale and made a $3 profit (yay).
ReplyDeleteAlways love to see that secretary!!!! Great new look. Jane
ReplyDeleteLove the simple clean look-gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better! :)
