Just a Smidge of Yellow

Hello everyone!

I hope your week is starting out well.  Mine was hectic this morning between taking my son to school  an hour early for a test he had to take and dealing with road construction the whole way there.  Then, I came back home just in time to take my dog to the vet for his follow-up.  He got his drain removed and they took him off his pain meds.  He goes back on Friday to see if we can remove the e-collar.  He's finally eating better and even gained some of his weight back since his last appointment!

So, with all of the stress that I've been under lately, I'm wondering if that is why I chose to add a smidge of yellow to my kitchen.  It's such a happy color.  I don't like a lot of yellow (like I used to) but a pop of it here and there is just right.

Can you see that smidge????

There it is.  Peeking out on that pillow.  I like how it looks with the grey curtains.

I also lucked up on a HUGE sale at Michaels recently and found these extra deep lined wire baskets.

I was hoping to find one with the number 1 on it but couldn't. So, I just turned one around backwards.  It is another number 3 basket. I like that these are deep enough to hide what I put in them.

And one more pop of yellow peeks out of this basket at the end of my kitchen cabinets.

I think these yellow pillows will look nice mixed with Fall decor whenever I get around to putting it out.  I've really enjoyed seeing all of the inspiration out there that everyone has done so far.  It has even been feeling like Fall here too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Accessorized Cabinet and Dog Update

Hello everyone!

 I am happy to report that my dog, Max, is doing much better.  He had a surgical procedure to install a drain in the lower part of his eye socket on Wednesday morning.  They kept him overnight and I brought him home on Thursday.  We have to give him antibiotics, pain meds and ointment every day.  He is wearing an e-collar (which he hates).

Labor Day Fun

Hello everyone!

How was your holiday weekend?  Ours was good and bad.  We went up to my parent's lake house at Lake Hartwell. 

Rug Pad Review and Foyer

Hello everyone!

I was recently contacted by Rug Pad USA to review one of their rug pads.  Now, I know to most people, that doesn't sound too exciting!  That is probably about as exciting as buying new tires for your car, right?  However, what DID appeal to me was knowing that I would have the opportunity to finally "get it right" with the proper rug pad.  What do I mean by "get it right"?  Well, many of you notice that I don't have a rug in my family room.  I used to though.  That is until I decided to look under it and found that it was sticking to my floors and leaving rubber all over it!  Not pretty!  I pulled up the rug and then had to go to the store and buy some heavy duty adhesive remover in hopes of removing it from my floors and not ruining them further in the process.  After several hours on my hands and knees, I was able to remove the residue.  But, there are still reminders of the damage it caused if you look closely enough on my floor!  THAT is why I gave up on a rug in my family room.  I was a little shy of trying this whole thing again.  

So now.............I don't have to worry about that happening as long as I use the proper rug pad.  I have a rug in my foyer that I was using (once again) the wrong rug pad with.

Warming up the Family Room

Hello everyone!

Since most of my rooms are white, it's hard to warm up the spaces without adding some color.  But, I still love neutral colors, so I found these cute ikat pillow covers on Etsy that did the trick. I placed them on my sofa in the family room and love the contrast.
