bunnies in the kitchen.....

A few more bunnies popping up

around the cottage....

My vintage rabbits....

One is paper mache,

and one is a chalk figure.

They hang out in the kitchen.

Making sure all is well this Easter,

but not taking up too much valuable space.

Aren't they so sweet?

Easter is such a precious time for me.

Both in the sweet decor that comes with this time of year,

and in the true meaning of Easter.

hippity-hoppity touches.....

Easter is just around the corner,

so I have added some little

bunny touches

 around the house......

a grassy moss bunny....

and a woodland bunny under a cloche....

I've got a few more Easter touches

to share tomorrow.

It is hard to believe

that it is already time for Easter!

kitchen....

I am showing my kitchen today.

I have tweaked some things here and there

sense I posted about it last.

Nothing major, just a little.

And, sense the kitchen is right off the family room

that I shared yesterday,

I thought this may be good to share next.

My collection of cutting boards

and trays behind the cook top....

My trusty postal scales

that keep my fresh fruit contained....

the view from the kitchen

into the family room....

I am still loving

my concrete counter tops.

I don't know if I will ever get tired of them...

I added a teeny-tiny touch of blue

in the kitchen to pull in the navy wall.

I didn't want too much blue,

just a hint.

Have a great today!

The navy wall....

I blogged here and here

about adding some navy in the house.

 Well, I did it!

{ok, hubby did it}

and here it is....

I LOVE it!!!

I used the same sofa and leather chairs,

and just switched the rug and coffee table

with the formal living room.

I bought one pillow with blue ikat fabric

to help pull it all together.

The other pillows still worked.

All the pictures, mirrors and shutters

are from around the house.

I just pulled them together and made a grouping.

I want to add more to the wall,

but that was all that I had in the house.

I will be on the look out for more.

It looks good with the

tan and ivory stripes

in the hallway.

see one of our Kittys June Carter

on the back of the chair?

Here is the other side of the room.

This is the chair I brought home

from the Nashville show.

It pulls the blue color to the other side of the room.

The entertainment center balances the dark leather

of the chairs on the opposite side of the room.

{watching a DVRed episode of Nate Burkus}

love the mix of the fabrics.

{Hubby is still trying to love it.}

It is bold and really makes a statement,

which is exactly what I wanted.

I couldn't be happier.

I love my new navy wall

and navy accessories!

If you are considering some color,

consider navy.

It is bold but also somehow still neutral.

P.S. today is my mom's birthday...

Happy birthday, Jetty Bean!

the new stools....

The new stools in the house....

I am crazy about them.

As you can see they adjust up and down

for whatever height you need.

I snagged them up at world market.

I am crazy about that store.

They have all the latest trends

at half the price.

And when you change out as much as I do,

that is a MUST!

They are super sturdy and substantial.

I was worried that for the price

they may be flimsy and wobbly.

But I am VERY happy with how well made they are.

I couldn't recommend them more

if you are in the market for some new stools.

{I wasn't exactly what you would say in the market for new stools when I stumbled across these,

but once I saw them, I realized how I needed wanted to be in the market for stools,

and that the search was now over.}

I mixed them with one of the stools

I already had at the bar.

{being frugal and all}

I think they look great together.

I also think they look great against

the new navy in the family room!

I promise to share pictures asap

 of the whole navy room.

I couldn't be happier with the end result.

my new mail box....

My new mail box!!!

I ordered it from, where else,

Pottery Barn.

Here is hubby installing it for me

{in the dark, because I was so excited to get it up}

It was no small feat because our home is stone.

Unfortunately we had to move it from

the right side to the left side because

it did not fit on the right.

It never crossed my mind to measure,

or that one side of the door to the shutter

is smaller than the other.

The problem with that is,

 I have been completely and totally spoiled

to getting my mail by sticking my head out the door

and reaching over.

Even if that means in my pajamas,

in the rain or snow.

Now, I have to walk out the door and around

to the mailbox.

Believe me when I say,

I will still be getting the mail in my pjs.

Looks good anyway though.

And after all, that's the most important thing, right?

The next step....

changing out the light fixtures!

Here are the replacements....

They are on back order until July.

I can't wait!

Here is a picture from pottery barn of the mailbox.

Ironically, this is also the color and style of siding that

I want to replace the siding on my sun room with.

I think it is called shake, maybe?

Not sure on that one.

I think it will look great with the stone house.

So much to do as usual!

One of these days it will all get done, right?

Nashville Garden & Antique Show.....

Sorry that I have been MIA lately.

I go through spurts with everything,

and my blog is no exception.

I have tons to blog about though,

so hopefully I will be back on track.

I wanted to share some pictures of my

booth at the

Nashville Garden & Antique Show.

I had never done this show,

even though it is so close to me.

So, I wasn't sure what to expect.

They told me that I would be able to spread out.

So, I brought more than what I needed,

but when I got there, there was definitely no spreading.

Not a big deal,

but it was just a little tighter

than I prefer.
I will know what to expect next year!

All in all, it was a fun show.

I hope to do it again.

I ended up bringing one of the chairs below home.

Can you guess which one?

Looks fabulous in the newly updated family room!

It is shameful when you are

holding your breathe that something

won't sell so that you can bring it home!

Pictures of the chair in it's new home soon!

Hope you have a great Tuesday!
