Morning Sunshine in the Dining Room

Hello everyone!

This weekend is going to be beautiful here in Georgia.  No more rain and lots of sunshine and warm temps are finally here!  It will be a busy weekend here too.  Tomorrow, we'll be celebrating my youngest son's 14th birthday.  We'll also be celebrating Mother's Day (early) with my MIL.  On Sunday, my husband is planning on grilling all day (which I'll share with you).  It is one of our favorite things to eat and it has to cook all day.  Yum!  Be on the lookout for that soon.  

In the meantime, I wanted to share some of these rays of sunshine shining in my dining room today.  It gets the most sun of all of my rooms.  

Share Your Style Party #11

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Share Your Style!  I'm so glad you're here.  This week, Barbara from 21 Rosemary Lane is your host.

Our Little Bitty Vegetable Garden

Hello everyone!

Our little garden is proof that you don't have to have a lot of property to grow vegetables.  This year, we planted only a few things.  Tomatoes, squash and peppers.  We quit growing cucumbers because we got so many and I was the only one that ate them.  We also cut back on our peppers because so many of them just ended up in the freezer and some are STILL there a year later!  

My husband went to the nursery to gather the materials we would need.

Crisp White Slipcover

Hello everyone!

I've had a wing chair in my sitting room for years.  I found it for sale by a neighbor at a garage sale.  It was a cream color and always had a few water mark stains on it that wouldn't come off, so I finally decided to buy a slipcover for it.  I don't know why I waited so long to do it now!  (Gosh, I've been saying that a lot lately.)  Anyway, I thought I'd share it with you in case you've been looking for a good brand slipcover for your furniture too.  I'm very happy with it!

Share Your Style Party #10

Hello everyone!

Have you been having a good week so far?  I'm happy that the rain has finally let up and the sun has decided to visit us again.  This Spring has been so wet and stormy here in GA!  I'm excited to see what you have to share with us this week.  This week, Debra from Common Ground is your host.

Final Reveal of Family Room Changes

Hello everyone!

Well, it's been weeks that I've been tweaking the family room.  It took a while to decide which direction I wanted to take it in.  I played around with red and white, blue and white, red and blue etc.  But, everything I did  just fell short of what I was looking for.  Until now.  I wanted something cozy and comfortable.  I wanted something soft and imperfect.  Yet, I wanted something stylish too.  So, I decided to bring in soft denim blues and some indigo to my sofa and chairs.  I moved some furniture around to give me the cozy seating group I was after that also made more sense for how we use the room.  I changed the lighting around as well.  And this is what I came up with.

Antique Shopping (Part 2)

Hello everyone!

It has been raining here almost all week and I am SO ready for it to stop.  The ground is saturated so we can't work on our vegetable garden like we had planned to.  So, what's a girl to do with all of this rain?  Go shopping!  Here are a few more fun finds that I saw at an antique store and thought I would share them with you.

I forgot what these metal buckets are called but I know they are a country french accent for the fireplace.
