I’m sure you’ve been losing sleep wondering where those bright blue accessories from the sun porch have disappeared to — I know I have. Painting the sun porch white has created sort of a ricochet effect throughout our little cottage and everything is all mixed up and turned around! It happens! Well, there they are.

Salutations! Well, I’m at it again. Our mantel has been feeling a little left out lately. Yes, I’m afraid she has been somewhat over looked and maybe even a bit neglected while the rest of our living room has been getting doused in Summertime blues. She has been patiently awaiting her turn ready for the freshness of Summer to head her way. I thought this vintage mirror in robins egg blue might just do the trick.

Salutations! The Summertime blues have made there way around cottage fix — a little blue here, a little blue there. I’m loving shots of blue throughout our little cottage!

You might have noticed that flowers are one of my favorite decorating accessories, especially casual displays using fresh cut garden flowers. Oh yes, I love a room with a fresh garden bouquet.
