Color Changes in the Master Bedroom

Hello everyone!

I'm popping in this Saturday since I missed posting yesterday.  I wanted to share the changes I made in my master bedroom recently.  I moved around some pillows from my family room and master bedroom.  I decided to bring some black and white accents into my bedroom to replace the yellow that I had in here last time you saw it. It's always fun to make changes with things you already have.  That's what I did in here.

Black and White Farmhouse Touches

Hello Everyone!

I recently discovered these bar stools for sale at Target and decided to give them a try in my kitchen.  I liked that they were solid black and metal which gave them a very modern farmhouse look to them.  My old ones were great too, but I was ready for a change.  I will be selling them at a consignment store.  

Modern Farmhouse

Hello everyone!

I mentioned in my last post about some of the elements I choose to decorate my home with. One of them is the contrast between elegant and rustic.  The other one is modern textiles and farmhouse style.  They don't sound like they would go together at all, but in a weird way they do!  I think it's the mix that makes them interesting.  If I used only modern items, it would not suit me.  However, throwing in a little bit of it with some of the casual rustic quality of farmhouse style is a pleasing mix to me.  

Here in my kitchen, I have a mostly farmhouse style.

Contrasting Elements in Decor

Hello everyone!

I've been off my usual blogging schedule this week because it's Spring break.  It's been so nice to actually forget what day of the week it is for a change.  I kept thinking that yesterday was Sunday!  Fortunately, the weather has been kind to us this week but I think it's getting ready to change.  Cold temps are heading our way.  April is such a fickle month!  

I thought I would share, with you, some elements in my decor that seem to be a pattern in each room.

I love contrasts in style.  What I mean by that is I don't want everything in my home to look like it came from one store.  So, I like to mix it up a bit with contrasting elements.  My favorite way to do that is with elegance mixed with rustic.  I also like modern mixed with country.  However, today I'm sharing the first one.

In my family room, I have this very dressy crystal chandelier.

But, underneath it is this chippy painted coffee table.

Bank Bag Makeover

Hello everyone!

I mentioned, recently, that I was going to try my hand at making a pillow from a bank bag.  I got the idea after seeing some for sale at an antique market.  But, once I received the bank bag, I realized my pillow wasn't going to turn out as cute as the ones that I saw for sale.  So, I displayed it temporarily until I could find a better use for it.  

I found a way to incorporate the graphics from the bank bag onto something else instead.
