Final Preparations....

Hello Everyone!

I hope you are all getting excited for the Easter Bunny.I have been Busy all day cleaning, and checking my grocery list twice. Making sure I have everything I will need to prepare a feast for our families.

I wanted a simple, yet fun centrepiece for the table....I am happy with how it turned out! Some artificial turf, branches, beads , butterflies and tea-lites will do the trick. It took a little tweaking, as I am a bit of a perfectionist/anal, but I finally got the look I was after!


I went out to the yard to collect branches ,added my leftover butterflies and voila! I feel less is really more, and I love the rustic feel.








And I'm using my rainboot vase! Hello, ultra coolio....

I hung some on my chandelier too!!! Anymore, and I'm going overboard, so now I stop. Time to think about the Menu.

Can't wait to search for the Eggs in the morning with my little bunnies. How adorable is this? She can hardly wait.

Happy Easter To You All

Gallery Walls

Hello!

I have been admiring gallery walls on many blogs lately, here are a few of my favourites! I have to say I'm frightened of the idea of trying this, but just look at how stunning they are! It seems the more random and light hearted the approach , the more I like it. Maybe I've just been over thinking hanging things on my wall....

I love the fun additions added in.

Vintage looking Mirrors is an awesome idea!

A Chalkboard wall

I love this one so much! I seen it on blogland and can't remember who's it is, but" WoW," is all I have to say!

I want one of those (&) in the worst way...... and that wall color is to die for! If anyone knows please pass it along to me!!!

So, what is your favourite? Do you have a gallery wall? Would you consider one in your home? I will show you when I get my courage and ideas together! Wish me luck!

Have a great week Everyone!

Spring Accents

I hope everyone is getting outside enjoying the sunshine and warmer weather! The last few days here have been lovely....I think Spring has sprung!

I love tulips and it's always a must for me to get some every year! I found this vase and thought it was perfect and fun...a rubber boot! I got it for a steal too! I'm not sure, but I think the tulips are white!

I love these ceramic bird ornaments in white, so pretty!

Happy Spring Everyone!

Gotcha!

So, I woke to my hubby asking me if I had to walk home from work last night because my car wasn't in the lane-way! I jumped out of bed thinking I had left the keys in it all night and that it had been stolen.... I ran downstairs all frantic to look, my heart was pounding, and half asleep I may add, to see it still there!

Gotcha, he says, Laughing hysterically at my reaction!

How about you? Any great April Fool stories to share????

Spring Is In The Air....

Well, we are a few days into Spring here in Ontario, but it is freezing outside!!! The Sun is shining though, which is nice and brings us hope that it is going to warm up!

I thought I'd share this spring room with it's interesting fresh green walls, and simple floral blind. I love how sunny and fresh it looks!

Are you thinking of ways to freshen up your rooms for Spring? Making it lighter and brighter?

I'm know I'm going to try....

I WANT!

LOVE!!!

I'm still eyeing this settee from Ballard Designs.....waiting for a sale! I would love to put it in my bay window with my table and some chairs.

My daughter just turned 13! This was her gift, to see Lady GaGa ....she was in heaven!

And some other inspiration, I have found online.....amazing! Could you imagine having a side entrance as awesome as this??? Wow....

And this kitchen took my breath away! It is a beauty. I wanted one of those spigot thing-a-mijigs....but didn't end up getting one.....grrr!

What have you been loving on this week?

Nie Nie's New Life!

Anyone who knows me, knows I love to read The Nie Nie Dialogues!

She is the strongest, most beautiful woman I know. I love her courage and realness she brings forth.

She makes me realize what I have when life gets you down. She helps me put things into perspective.
What an inspiration! If you haven't followed Stephanie Nielson's story, I suggest you do.

Watch the video and let me know what you think!
