Little mudroom addition

Hello all!

So last week we had this, I was so so not happy.  I am not a 

snow lover unlike my friend Joanne who I saw out walking in it,

 stopped by and told me that she threw her coat on

in a hurry so she could get out there because it 

was sooooo pretty, 

Ooooookay

But alas the snow left us for good (I hope)

and now we have flowers!

I just love how a little shot of colour can make 

a room come alive. 

I was not sure what would fill this little niche and 

I used to have a basket hanging here for 

dirty tea towels but I really and truly needed a place

for us to set our keys and drinking cups

down when we walk in the door.

Since our upper walls are a beautiful soft dove grey,

actually Sarah Richardson's "Promise" by Para I 

loved that I didn't have to do a thing to it as it
is already a beach wood weathered grey.

Along with round shapes I love crisscross 

shapes as well and this table is not only serving a 

greatly needed purpose but adds a nice

detail and texture that I knew was missing.

I added another shot of my fav colour turquoise for 

0 dollars with empty gin bottles
(no not mine!)

  and I placed them

in a tool box that I found at an antique market for $15.00 

and sprayed white 

(the fake copper paint was not doing it for me)

This weekend has been wonderful, full of rest, relaxation, a 

nice dinner and visit with my mom and dad, good homemade greek food,

sunshine, fresh air and a little yard work. 

Last year at this time all of that would not have been possible

and I am so grateful to finally be living!

SO BRING IT!
