Feather Your Nest

I love velvet blue in my winter decor. As a matter of fact I just pulled out my velvet pillows for the year. I've never really been a feather girl, but when I came across the blue velvet with feather pillow I thought it was a great idea. I think I could duplicate this look on my pillows... just another project to add to my list. Do you use feathers in your decor? Here are a few ideas to get your imagination stirring. Happy Thursday!

Summer Dining

Well it looks like we are going to have one more weekend of winter weather before our spring/summer temps stay around. I can't wait to dine outdoors like this image below. I guess on a positive note I still need to redo my table top that got ruined through the winter months, redo my seat cushions (that I just recovered last spring) and hang outdoor lights. It's important to look on the positive side of things right? Is your outdoor space ready for summer entertaining?

I want to sip on one of those refreshing looking drinks!

Have a happy-happy!

My Summer Dream!

Happy Monday friends! I promised I would get back into blogging, so here I am really putting in the effort! I don't have a "Make It Monday" project to share with you, but I still think you'll be pleased with what I am sharing. I was lucky enough to receive the latest issue of Country Living magazine this weekend and I have to say it didn't disappoint. With summer fast approaching I dream of my some day cabin where the family can escape for pure relaxation. When I came across these images they just made me smile. This "Rustic Revival" family retreat in Ohio is just what I envision. I think I best post these pics on my vision board! Hope you enjoy this getaway as much as me! If you don't already have this issue of Country Living, do yourself a favor and pick it up.

Man I wish I could grow hydrangeas...


I just love those cots, with the numbered pillows

Can't you just picture yourself sitting around that campfire, roasting mallows, and telling stories.
