Fab Pins of the Week!

Hello gorgeous! It’s Friday, whoop whoop! Do you have any exciting plans for this weekend? I’m hoping to cross of at least a couple of current projects off my list! I tend to get myself into numerous projects at once, and then I get frustrated when I have to finish them all. Do you ever do this?

I’m in full swing of gathering inspiration for my home office, which I will begin to design late Summer/early Fall. I am still having a hard time as to finding exactly what I want! I tend to take my decorating slow, so once I start to get some major pieces in there, I think things will start to fall into place! Meanwhile, here’s what’s been inspiring me this week!

Hello beautiful and Happy Friday!! I couldn’t be more excited that the weekend is finally here! It’s been a beautiful week here in Ohio and hoping the weather sticks around for good! My flowers have begun to bloom in my yard and make me smile every time I see them! Are your flowers blooming?

Now that Easter is over and the bunny decor is put away, here’s what’s been inspiring me!

Bunny on the Front Porch

April 14, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: diy, Easter, front porch decor, home 3 Comments

When I was a little girl I distinctly remember a life size bunny that my Nana would always have on the front porch at Easter time. When I grew up and had my own children, my Nana gave me that bunny! I have to admit, the last few years it’s been sitting in the back of the basement because I felt it just didn’t “fit” in with my Easter decor. So, this year I decided to change that and give this memorable bunny a makeover!

I started by covering him with a coat of Country Chic Paint in Cheesecake. I did two coats to cover the existing designs that were there. I love this paint and can’t wait to use it again! It coats wood so amazingly! I let the piece dry overnight. The next morning I grabbed a pencil and begin to trace out a new face and “welcome” sign. One thing I wish I would of payed more attention to was the detail of his face, because it was so cute before! But, I am happy with how it turned out! Next, I grabbed my acrylic paint in navy, black and pink and began to bring this bunny back to life! Lastly, I embellished his next with a sweet quatrafoil gray and white ribbon.

My kids just love it and that’s all that matters to me! We have enjoyed having the bunny on the porch this Easter, and will enjoy it for many more Easter’s to come!

Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out this project with me!

Hello gorgeous! I am so happy you’re here!! Happy Friday 🙂 Are you thrilled it’s finally Spring? I am! I couldn’t be more excited to know that warmer days are coming and lots of beautiful flowers! It’s been a long Winter and I’m ready for change!

This week I’ve been loving all thing neutral. Neutral tones are what I tend to decorate each room in and add color with accessories and pieces that are easy to change whenever I want! Today I’m sharing a few of my favorites I pinned this week! Enjoy!

Woot woot it’s Friday!!

I am so happy the weekend is here! I’m looking forward to spending it with my husband and kids!

Do you have any special plans?

This week I’ve been inspired by color!

1. I love the classy look of this decor! The mix of patterns and pops of fun color! It’s fun to take a plain room, which is a blank slate and create so much character with colors and patterns. Adding abstract art can also make a variety of colors work together!

2. I really love the idea of using knobs at different heights on a wall to use jewelry hangers, how neat! This would be a bold look for over a dresser like picture above, but I would more than likely opt for a space in my closet instead! Regardless, it’s the perfect way to organize your jewelry, display it and keep it out of the way!

3. Flowers, ah be still my heart! I just adore fresh flowers! Give gorgeous blooms the spotlight by showcasing them in vintage vases or teacups. Head to the thrift store to seek some cute little teacups or if you’re lucky enough to have some on hand, bust them out and bring them back to life!

4. Cute art! Bring your walls to life by adding colorful patterns to frames. For a super affordable way to spruce up existing frames, head to the scrapbook isle of your local craft store and pick out a few prints that really stick out to you. Cut them to size and voila. New art for literally cents!

Hello beautiful and happy Friday!!

I’m so glad you’re here today! I get to share with you a few of my favorites this week!

Last week I was so excited with the warmer temperatures, but should of known it was short lived! We’re back to the mid-twenties here! But, I know that Spring is coming and that is very inspiring!

1. This is such a beautiful backyard oasis! I am such a sucker for blue hydrangeas. I also love the beautiful white and blue accents, it really sets a serene mood! I can’t wait to design a comfy and inviting space in our backyard for us to enjoy with family and friends this Spring!

2. I am in LOVE with this dining room design. Isn’t it just gorgeous! I love these style of chairs and love the little accents that number each chair. The curtains are really a beautiful touch to this space. The mixed shade of blue in the curtains tie in with the small amount of blue in the napkins, and really tie the space together.

3. Such a darling shed for the backyard! Not to mention those stunning blue hydrangeas!! I love the archway, it completely makes this little shed into something special!

4. Oh my gracious, I am in love with these! I can’t wait to have these a part of my decor again this Spring and Summer! Hydrangeas are such a gorgeous flower and can easily dress up and add class to any space with such little effort! Put them in a gorgeous bowl, antique pitcher, or even a mason jar, and you have an instant conversation piece!

Happy Friday!!! I am so thrilled the weekend is here! The last couple of days have really been lovely since the snow has been melting and the temps have been warmer! I am really looking forward to the weekend! With the temps in the mid 50’s, I am just aching for Spring!!

1. This kitchen is just gorgeous! So beautiful and bright ♥ ♥ Honestly, one of the first things that stuck out to me about this picture was the mix of gold and stainless. I don’t think it looks bad done here at all! I love the chandelier and the gorgeous marble countertops and backsplash!
2. Such a stunning mix of fresh flowers! The perfect tablescape for any Spring or Summer gathering! I love the pops of coral mixed with the natural greens. This would pair perfectly with the adorable new floral decor right now at Target. I shared it earlier on my Facebook page! Are you following along with me on there yet? I would love to have you!
3. I love the idea of using cloches to cover and showcase mini cakes on a dessert table! What a neat concept for either a Wedding or birthday! I, too, love the simplicity of these cakes with bright bloom making them ultra appealing. I just might use this concept for my daughters upcoming birthday!
4. This bedroom is just lovely! It’s feminine yet subtle. The soft hues of pink are what caught my eye right away. I just have the strong desire to decorate one of my rooms with pink. I wish it could be my bedroom, but I’m opting for my office! The tall ceilings in this space are just amazing! So much natural light to enhance those natural color elements!
