Sunday Ramblings

Sunday, May 10, 2015

Happy Mother's Day to all of the mom's out there but especially to my Mom and my Mother-in-Law. I have been really under the weather, but thankfully I am starting to finally feel better.  We were pretty lazy this morning. Then I remembered that we had not put our new outdoor rug/mat in the screen porch so I got to work.

#1 Cassie's Master Bedroom ORC

 Have you seen Cassie's bedroom from the One Room Challenge on Hi Sugarplum!  You should check it out!  The super dark walls and spotted drapes are dreamy.

#2 Outdoor Mat from World Market

 A full reveal of the porch updates coming soon, but here is a sneak peek. This rug is a great deal!  I love the idea that we can just hose it off when it gets dirty and should not stain.  Plus it is surprisingly soft underfoot.


#3 Calendars as Wall Art

 I ordered the American Cities 2014 Calendar from Anderson for the Boy's TV room.  I framed and matted them over the weekend, but they still need to be hung.  Below are some awesome examples of other calendars framed as art.

My favorite porch perk up is palm trees. They brighten up a space and plants have been proven to make you happy.  At least that's what I read online :)  If nothing else, they will remind you of the beach and life is always better at the beach.  My second fave is pillows.



Sunday, I mean Monday, Ramblings

So I missed my Sunday ramblings...let's call it Monday ramblings.


#1 Spray Paint the Hardware too

Here's a tip from Emily A Clark: Paint the hardware too!  Sometimes it can cost a small fortune to buy all new hardware for a dresser or any piece of furniture with a lot of knobs and pulls.  Instead of buying all new hardware you just spray paint it the same color as the dresser.  Genius!

#2 Laundry Sorter

 Did you know my hubby is a born neat freak.  The exception to this rule is in our Master Closet which is probably the area that I try to keep the neatest in our house.  I just love the look of an elegant closet that makes you feel like you are in a retail store.  Laundry piles were a big issue on his side of the closet so I picked up an awesome laundry sorter from Walmart.  My favorite part, besides the $28 price, was that each bag pulls out.

#3 Better Homes & Gardens

While we are on the subject of Walmart, have you seen the new BHG stuff?!?  Some of it is fabulous!



This pillow is embroidered and looks even better in person.

#4 Outdoor Mat

 I scored this outdoor rug/mat from World Market.  It's usually $39.99 but they are having a 15% off outdoor items right now so it's only $33.00.  Did I mention that it is a 6' x 9' and it's reversible.  I love that is made of plastic fiber so it will be easy to hose off.
#5 Teal Door

If you have followed my blog for more than 5 minutes then you know I love teal, turquoise and aqua. I have been wanting to perk up our mud closet room and I think painting the door teal or turquoise is that way to add a pop.
