Pretty Wreath

This past week has been abnormally warm, with some record breaking temperatures. I'm definitely not complaining because I love me some warm weather. However, I have been keeping busy with a number of projects. First, I made this beautiful wreath for Michele at Michele's Cottage Gifts in Plantsville, CT.

The wreath was filled with pink peonies, dried statice, and beautiful greens that helped make it lush and garden-like. I must say the dried statice isn't the most fun working with, I think my fingers were pricked way too many times, ouch!

I also added this beautiful green netted ribbon. I love intertwining ribbon in a number of my designs.

After the wreath was complete, I was off to tackle a new project, the cabinet in my bathroom.

It was painted cream, however I felt it needed a change, so off I went to get paint samples. I will create a post just focusing on my cabinet project. But one thing I will tell you is I'm thinking of making it gray and adding some appliques.
Well I'm off to tackle my project, happy weekend everyone!

Bathroom Finds

I went to Marshalls this past weekend and found some beautiful bath rugs. They are so shabby chic. One is very similar to one that Rachel Ashwell has at Target. I was thrilled to find these pieces, and did not hesitate at all to put them in my shopping cart.

I love the crochet edging. It's little details like this that make me fall in love. Plus this rug came in a sage color as well, I think I may have to stop there and snatch it, if nobody has already.

I also had this beautiful planter just sitting around in my apartment and I didn't want to hide it because it is quite lovely. So this is what I did with it.

I have so many towels, and some of them have the prettiest of details, like these with the ruffles. I didn't want to hide them, it would be a shame to.

It's funny how when you begin to rearrange things in your home how you can conjure up so many ideas on how to re-use items in different ways. This urn was just sitting around waiting for spring, but now it doesn't have to because it's gotten a new use.

Hope you all have a great day!
