~Chairs~

My friend Alison over @ the Polohouse is having her Favorites on the First Party and this month we're sharing our favorite chair or chairs!
Here's a few favorites around my house...

My buffalo check chair in our family room has always been a favorite.

Another chair in our family room that's so comfy & perfect for snuggling up with a cup of tea and a magazine.

The french chair in my living room that my mom bought for me a few years ago for my birthday...love this chair!

Another french style set of chairs that I have in our living room.

And last but not least are my kitchen chairs, I love these chairs and I'm so glad I mixed it up a bit and bought the darker ones for the end chairs.

Well there ya have it... these are my favorite chairs, now I can't wait to head on over to Alison's and see yours!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A few changes in the Kitchen

It was a cold and rainy day yesterday so what's a girl to do when she's stuck in the house all day...play of course!
This wall in my kitchen has been on my radar to change for quite sometime, so I finally got around to doing it...so glad I did!!
I bought nothing new, had everything I needed on hand.

I was so excited to get this done I forgot about taking a before shot, but I found one from my very FIRST post! WOW... how things have changed!!
My in-laws gave us this clock. It was pine and I painted it red a few years ago.

I added the basket and sign over my pantry door. This was in another spot before.

This sweet bunny painting I purchased from my friend Ann On Sutton Place before she opened her Etsy shop. I love it grouped with my cabbage plates, I'm so glad I found a place for it in my kitchen!

A few more changes are in the works so stay tuned!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a super weekend!

PB Teen...Teen Room/The Reveal

Mackenzie's room is FINALLY done!!
I felt like this makeover took forever! Everything in her room was painted, walls, ceiling, trim, & furniture. She picked out the colors and most of the accessories.
Even this little plaque over her bed was hit with the paint brush to a brighter green (AS Antibes) to go better with all the bright colors in her bedding. Her aunt gave her this plaque one year for Christmas, she loves it.

My mom bought her the bedding for Christmas from PB Teen.

Every room needs a touch of animal print;)

She wanted a chalkboard in her room, we found this one in Hobby Lobby. She painted it in Graphite and added the fun little applique to the top. I bought her the chalk makers to use on it.
Those are her first set of point shoes hanging from the hook. She LOVES dance and is in 5 different classes.

I ordered her these wire initials from PB so she can display all her pictures.

We found these pictures in Home Goods.

Can you tell how much I LOVE these knobs from Hobby Lobby, I even added them to her closet doors.

I prefer to use sill length drapes in here, they stay nicer especially when this room is full of teenage girls! I ordered these form PB Teen also, they go her with bedding, the color is "Pool".

We still need to add one more piece of artwork to the right of her window. Shes working on a water color in school that she wants to use when she's done.
