Dreaming about Mint Kitchen Cabinets

It All Started when I came across this picture on Pinterest, and now I'm Dreaming about  Mint Kitchen Cabinets  This kitchen reminds me a little bit of my own kitchen and so it got me thinking about painting our kitchen cabinets in a soft pretty mint. Better Homes and Gardens The mint looks so fresh when paired next to bright whites and natural wood. Better Homes and Gardens Of course, once I get an idea in my head, I have to search Pinterest for a hundred more pictures just like it. And you know what? I think I fell in love with every mint cabinet photo I came across.  Source Source Source Source This next kitchen belongs in the cutest little cottage.

On the hunt for new curtians

I am on the hunt for some new curtains for our living and dining room. We have two big windows on the front of our home and I'm growing tired of the curtains I currently have. I bought these curtains from IKEA years ago and they've been great but I would love to switch things up a bit and bring in something new. So I have been browsing all of my favorite online stores for some new curtains and I have come across some great ones that I wanted to share with you today. I'd love to hear your thoughts on these. *This post contains affiliated links.   POTTERY BARN  Let's start with my favorite.  These are the Brice Stripe indoor/outdoor drapes from Pottery Barn.  I just have a thing for stripes and so I was immediately drawn to these ones. This stripe drape also comes in a variety of different styles and colors, I really like these in the gray stripe too. If these were in my budget I would have ordered them yesterday, but $560.00+ for 4 panels is not going to happen.  So movi

The Wicker House Paint Colors

I know I've already shared a post of our home's paint colors with you once before, but that was a while a go and so I've decided it was time for an updated post.  I did share this post over at City Farmhouse not too long ago, so it's likely you've seen it already.  Believe it or not, I have a really tough time choosing paint colors for our home. There are so many different colors out there to pick from that it makes finding the perfect color for a space a bit overwhelming.  My process for choosing a new color for our walls goes a little something like this; first, I gather inspiration from my Pinterest boards and decide on a look that I want to achieve. Then I tape up a bunch of color chips and envision what each color may look like on the whole wall. I remove the ones that I know are just not right.  Once I have narrowed my choices down to under five, I'll head to Lowes to  pick up some small sample paints and paint small sections on the wall. From here, I'
