Cabinets Before and After, a Cool Cloche, and My Favorite Door...

Cute little canisters from Target... A little pricey though, don't know if i'd buy them if I had to do it over again...
my white pitchers on top of the fridge... probably should put those pink flowers somewhere else..
I painted the top cabinets white, and everything seemed soooooo white, that i painted the bottom cabinets blue, it's actually called "comfort grey", by Sherwin Williams... and an interesting fact that i learned - when paint is mixed, they actually change the formula to adjust for high gloss vs flat or satin... Sometimes the color looks different to me, and I don't like that!
brown particle board cabinets...
This cloche is really big, and is only $19.99 at Marshalls and/or TJ Maxx,... but be careful, the first one I tried to buy, I paid for it, the check out lady spent 5 minutes wrapping it up... I turned around to leave, and smashed it to smitherines on a cart that was right behind me!!!
I love this old door... from my friend's shop "Spruce"... you'll notice mirrors everywhere, they're a great inexpensive way to open up the house, move light around, fill wall space...
The pillows always end up on the floor! usually with a little doggie on them...

Don't Be a Silk Flower Hater !

My friend says silk flowers are tacky and awful and would never ever allow them in her cute little shop. She a flower purist, and a silk flower hater.. But, i have decided to like them anyway. Some of the silks are very realistic, and I find it fun and therapeutic to grab a handful and arrange them. I have many times walked up to a good silk flower arrangement and taken a big whiff to smell them only to discover they were faux flowers. One thing i have learned is to pick silks that have a natural color green on them, it can make a huge difference. Here is my latest bunch of silks.. got them at Michaels.... They have some really nice woody stems with touches of new leaves right now that are very natural. The only thing this vase is missing is some water to make them look more real.... And what's cool is that since the stems are plastic i could just drop in some real flowers to fill in, and then you would get the wonderful scent. I'm dying to buy some gorgeous white flowers (the real thing ) to add to this arrangement. I bet my friend wouldn't turn down a vase of these silks mixed in with some real fragrant white lilies !
