Accessorizing

Happy June!

I forgot to include a photo of the cover of the Country Living magazine in the post I published about it on Friday, so I thought I’d do that here today…this is it:

The red truck photo is on page 40. 🙂

It was too nice out to stay inside this weekend, but I did do a little accessorizing. Carol, I took your advice and swapped the red truck with the domino planter. Now it goes succulent/truck/succulent/truck from top to bottom. Thanks for the great idea!

Funny how skooching things around like that can really make a difference!

A friend and I went to Prattville Pickers, and I brought home this ($3) hoop art for the dining room:

Kevin has ties to Texas, and the design sort of reminded me of blue bonnets, so I thought it would make a nice addition in there.

I think I’ll play around with the mantel in the living room this week…it’s almost summer mantel time, right?

I’ve got some easy and inexpensive ideas for the laundry hallway upstairs, too. Meet you back here on Wednesday with some pics of the progress!

    Bought some Sherwin Williams, Distance paint this weekend. Looking forward to the color it is going to bring to my sunroom!
    Thanks, Layla for the idea!

    You continue to inspire me even with the little things you do 🙂

    The only thing that could be any sweeter in Sweet P’s room will be Sweet P himself – such a cute space. And the bottles and plants on the mantle – love!

    I have been reading/following your blog for several years now…I love how everything is pulled together, but none of it looks contrived. 🙂 Can you share some good resources for finding nice-looking artificial succulents like you have displayed?

      Thank you, Jessica! 🙂 And I found those particular succulents at Michaels. They always seem to have a great selection of very realistic looking/feeling ones. XO
