willing summer….

so I think that if everyone in the midwest thinks really really really hard, maybe summer will come faster. also I am in love with this daybed from cb2, and we might need it for the front porch.

ok, so everyone send thoughts to the universe. go.

Not Your Grandma’s China Cabinet

ahh, how I love a good china cabinet. And more and more I keep seeing them pop up in decor. Everything from country to traditional to modern people are embracing them. As, you may know I have one in my living room. I thought it was a great thing to have in my living room as it takes up some nice space on a wall and it helps host stay to all my favorite glassware.

However, they are no longer just to store china. They can be a perfect place to store (or hide!) all sorts of things. I love this above Cabinet, Designed by Miles Redd and featured in House Beautiful, that has painted glass to completely conceal the inside.

I love the grandeur of having duplicate cabinets to create dramatic presence in a room.

And one of my favorites of all is bringing new life to the old with some fun, spunky colors!

Anyway I have been on a mad hunt for a new china cabinet. One for my sunroom to help hide all my crafts. I would love an old one to paint navy and then fill with baskets and such to conceal and help organize my life. Stay Tuned for when I find one!!

Furniture Rescue: Vintage Dresser

Wanted to share updates on bedroom. When I first moved in I found a fun vintage dresser that I re-did right away. However it always takes time to find fun accessories to make the room feel more homey. Here is what the dresser looks like today!
