Paisley and I had a little photo shoot today, and she can really strike a pose. Could the catwalk be next? She does seem to be wondering how she managed to end up on top of the chair, and without a pillow or blanket no less!

I’m lightening things up for Spring with warm whites, red camellias from the garden, and a vintage crochet throw. The sofa is wearing all neutrals with white and taupe pillows and an ivory crochet throw, apparently she needed a little break from blue.

The Daffodils are starting to bloom in our garden. We don’t have many yet — your actually looking at all the flowers that have bloomed so far. Yep, I picked them all. I have no self-control … I can’t help myself. It looks like there are many more on the way though.

It’s just paint, right? If I had a dollar for every time those words fell out of my mouth I would be one Etsy shopping lady! I’ve been considering painting the dining room table and the china cabinet, the cabinet possibly the robin’s egg blue color of the candlestick pictured. So I guess you can consider this a before picture, unless I chicken out. Robin’s egg blue is one of those colors I’ve always oohed and aahed over, I’m glad […]
