Since Summer is taking it's own sweet time to make it here in the PNW, I've decided to bring a little bit of the beach into my home. We did have a beautiful weekend and I got some much needed yard work done along with a little bit of junkin. I found some more pieces of coral and and a couple shells so I decided to fill my dough bowl in my dining room with them. I had intended on placing this bowl on our table, but didin't really like the wood on wood, so am now on the lookout for something else forthe center of the table. This room seems to be getting filled up with lots of architectural pieces and I love the look. Enjoy! xoxo K.
I really love all the texture when they are piled in this bowl or in the urn on my little table.
Can you see my lilac bush outside this window? They are such a pretty sight and when the window is open, the smell is heavenly:-)
Today I'm featuring Rene' @ Miss Gracie's House with her beautiful altered books and bottles. I think she did a fabulous job and will be selling them at her upcoming Sale that she holds on her property. Rene' also has a wonderful Etsy shop where she sells her lovely creations along with many vintage finds. Take a minute and hop on over to get all the details and check out more of her wonderful blog.
LOVE,LOVE,LOVE your whites today Kathleen:)

Hi, Kathleen. I actually added some sea shells and star fish today to the living room. I think we all have the itch to welcome summer!

Hi Kathleen! gorgeous whites and beachy look ... makes me want to get out to our beach house now but I'm too busy here!
ReplyDeleteAND I am also a DOOFUS. I was trying to put a picture on my link for White Wednesday, and kept getting an error message, so clicked 3 times all told ... and then discovered I had listed myself THREE TIMES.
Oy, as we say in New Jersey. I am so sorry!
I can't find any way to remove two of them!
Just slap me upside my dopey head.

Kathleen you sure know how to layer and create beautiful effects with all your chippy whites!
ReplyDeleteso many pretties!!! off to visit!
ReplyDeleteLove the dough bowl filled with those Sweet Shells~ Your Touches in the room are Beautiful. Summer has hit here Big Time, we seem to go from 40's to 60's to 90's in a flash... I also love seeing the Lilacs outside your window, I sure wish they lasted longer than they do....
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week
