Cottage

Isn't this the sweetest little house that you ever did see!??  I used to want a cottage home just like this when I was younger.  And it still looks pretty good.

I love the way this looks!!  And the best part is that it look super easy to do!

Light Laundry Room

I have a thing for pretty Laundry Rooms, so naturally, I fell in love with this one. 

I love how simple it is, but still so sweet and pretty. 

How cute are these flowers!? 

And cute little curtains...with ruffles! 

Isn't it pretty!  Kind of like a breath of fresh air.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

If you're lame like me and made the waffles this morning BEFORE realizing it was St. Patrick's Day which CLEARLY means those waffles should have been green, and are just beside yourself with how easy it would have been to add some food coloring if you had ONLY remembered - ! - it's ok, you can still make a fun Leprechaun Lunch for your family.  Just head on over to {Gourmet Mom on the Go} for this great little idea.

Nothing too hard here!  Just some green food coloring in milk and frosting.  And a gold coin...  Isn't this super fun!!  Love it and I'm sure the kids will too. :)

Green Ribbon Table

Saw this perfect little table at {Martha Stewart}.  What a sweet and simple way to bring some green into your day!  Great last minute idea!

Shamrock

Here's a sweet and simple idea from {Lolly Jane}.  I love how easy but cute that shamrock is!!

St. Patrick's Day Party

How about a cute St. Patrick's Day party!

I love how this one is decorated!

Cute little cupcakes sprinkled with lucky charms!
LOVE!

Love these candybar wrappers.
So cute!

Fun little tree...

I really love the green tablecloth and the yellow backdrop, too!

These little pots of gold are so cute!

Doesn't it all look so yummy!?

Seriously, awesome!

I'm loving all the rainbows and green.

And I adore this cute and simple take home gift... just packaged lucky charms.  Love it.  Visit {Wants and Wishes} for more details!

Gorgeous Dining Rooms

Here is a collection of simply stunning Dining Rooms.

Ahhh.  The chandelier, the deep wall color, the antique mantle, but most of all the gorgeous drapes!  Aren't those stunning!!?  I love the peek you get of the wrought iron on the balcony outside, too.

I love how elegant it is.  The beautiful chandelier again, and those pink flowers really add something special!  Here is proof that you don't have to have all matching chairs in a Dining Room.  It works.

I am a really big fan of dark hardwood flooring.  I love how it seems to dress up a space!  Love the crystal chandelier again, and the huge pot of hydrangeas on the table is gorgeous!  The chair skirts are so pretty as well.  And I really love those corner built in cabinets.  What a great use of space!!  

This room is very elegant, while still maintaining a level of comfort.  I love the drapes, and the warm wall color.  The chairs look very dressed up with their little skirts, and I love the accessories adorning the table.  

I love the neutral color palette in this room!  And the lovely juxtaposition between the crystals in the chandelier and the antique wood bowl on the table.  Lovely.  That mirror is stunning, as well as the molding that has been added to the walls.  

I love square tables, but it seems like you can only ever find them at counterheight.  I love this one!  That centerpiece is gorgeous as well!  It just feels alive!  And the pretty fig mixed with the green on the table really is lovely, isn't it!? 

Great way to dress up a space: throw some antique mirrors up on the walls.  Aren't those gorgeous!!?  I really love the huge accessories on this table as well. 

Another gorgeous room.  Love all the white.  It makes it feel so light and refined.  I love the chandelier, again, and the pink flowers really make the room pop don't they!!?

The Luckiest

I fell in love with this idea from {Crystal's Craft Spot} the moment I saw it!!
I love that Ben Folds song, and I love this reference to it.  It's a great St. Patrick's Day idea, but also something that would work all year round.
PS- That's not vinyl, people.  She shows us a surprisingly easy way to paint a sign board.

Fresh & Rustic Centerpiece

I love this centerpiece so much!

Something about the juxtaposition of the fresh flowers and the old, weathered, white washed box.

I just love the way it looks!!  Plus, those are my favorite colored flowers!

It seems really easy to recreate, too!  Just a box, white washed and sanded down, with flowers inside. :)

Jute Pears

Love this idea from Ballard Designs.

You could make it really easily by sculpting a pear out of styrofoam and then wrapping it in jute...I think that would be the only way to find an extra large pear shape.  But, if you got lucky and found some at the craft store, you could wrap those in jute too!

Happy Crafting!

Rustic Elements

It's amazing what something old and weathered can do to a room, or a scene, or an outfit, even.

An old rusty lantern can be filled with such charm!

Old buttons and forks can be things of beauty. 

Old jars can bring a homey feeling to any place.

An old, weathered board can tell such a wonderful story.

An old urn can be the most beautiful vase.

A piece of weathered wood can make a lovely table runner!

And old little jars can make some pretty stunning votives hanging in your own backyard.

Don't underestimate the value of age.

Gorgeous Little Nursery

When I saw this little nursery on {My Pink L:ife} I fell in love with it a little bit.

What a cute idea, to frame your favorite dress!

I love the subtle stripes on the walls.

Cute little pink desk, with a CUTE little doll on top!

I love the branches used as curtain rods.  How cute and inexpensive is that!?

Cutest little storage containers!

Have you ever seen a cuter way to store diapers!!??

And I love these little boxes with the ruffles!

She made them.

Cutest little hamper!!

LOVE the bead board ceiling!

Isn't it just so sweet!!  I love how it's femininity is so subtle!
