I'm Loving White

Hello everyone!

I made a few changes (what's new - right?) to my sofa and coffee table that I wanted to share with you. 

I added these white candles and faux sea sponge (?) to a white platter.  As I mentioned in my last post, I love to sprinkle candles around the house in the winter. 

It instantly adds warmth, but also brings the white color that I love so much to the coffee table. 

I'm still keeping to my theme of natural elements to decorate with. 

Another change that I made, was to add  jute webbing to some white pillows that I had.

I love the added texture and subtle pattern it gives. 

One other room, I made a subtle change in, is the kitchen.  I added another white platter with some textural items there as well.

Is that another candle?  Yes, it is!  I guess I've covered about every room now.  ha! So, along with my candles, I'm loving white right now.  It seems to be a dominant color in all my rooms and soon the powder room will fit in with that scheme too. 

Oh........I also wanted to mention that Sherry with No Minimalist Here is featuring my home today on her blog. I feel so honored for her to want to include me as part of her Open House Party Home Tour. She features some one's home every Thursday.  Her blog is full of wonderful inspiration, so I encourage you to go check it out if you haven't visited her before.  You won't be disappointed!

Thanks for stopping by!

My Little Secret - No More

Hello everyone!

First of all, thank you so much for all of your great paint color suggestions for my guest bath.  I hope to make a decision soon on it. 

I was going to just show you a new vignette on my sideboard in my dining room. 

During the winter months, I love using candlelight everywhere!

So, after I put away the Christmas decorations, I decided to change up the sideboard by adding these candles.  I love how romantic it looks in here all lit up at night.

So, I'm snapping away, and noticed a trend happening in every room.

There it is!  Don't you see it?  It's a Lego play set.  Don't you have one on your dining room table too?  This one is a police station that my son got for Christmas.  It was built in here and left.  Yep!  I think my son thinks this is it's new permanent home.

They are everywhere in my home!

On the kitchen table.

In his room.

On his dresser.

In bins.

Lined up in front of books.

Why he even has a new Lego game (yes now they make games) that he hasn't even played with yet!

Since my home has been taken over by Lego's, I've come up with an acronym for them. 

"Little Evil Gizmo's On Steroids"

If you have boys, then I'm sure you're all too familiar. These things multiply!  I am quite used to them by now since my oldest son is now 18.  I figure I have to live with them a few more years and then my youngest son will probably move on to something else (just like my oldest did).  So, I'm not going to complain.  One day, I'll probably look around and miss these days when all of his toys are spread around the house. 

So now you know.  Whenever I take pics to show you, just remember all the Lego's that I had to move or crop out of the photo.  Ha!

Thanks for stopping by!
