Mod Mix Monday #51

A Porch in Spring

Isn't this porch precious?

I love everything about it.

I had one of those pink flowering vines two summers ago but of course 

it did not survive the winter. 

I love that mix of pillows on the white iron bench too.

Here is Mod Mix Monday up very very late and I have no excuse.

None at all. I am just lame.

I was cleaning and rearranging in the kitchen after work yesterday and 

enjoying Franklin running in and out.

He loves his backyard.

I was drinking non alcoholic margaritas and pretending everything in my life is perfect.
Which it is not.

I did the same on Friday and Saturday too...which is why there was no

Sunday Open House.

I don't know what was wrong with me.

anyway

Here are my favorites from last week's Mod Mix Monday!

Betsy of Betsy Speert's Blog  linked up with a room from her neighbor's cottage in Florida.

She added the pretty flowing white drapes recently and they totally make the room. 

That and the octopus pillow. 

You know octopuses are to 2012 what peacocks were to 2011.

Steve at An Urban Cottage has a fantastic blog and his home is filled with wonderful things.

This guy has an eye for design that rivals any magazine editor. He decided to simplify a little 

this spring in his decor. If you don't know his blog, you should. 

And I'm not just partial because I designed his header. 

By the way if you need help with your blog design....I could use the extra cash...email me and we'll discuss.

Katie or Miss Dixie as she is known on her blog painted her sideboard.

I love a good sideboard makeover, especially a creamy white one.

Diane of In My Own Style took an ugly thrift store find and turned it into this incredibly pretty side table.

It not only looks great as done above but she made it where it could transform into several different looks.

See below...and she did two other looks too! I want this table...seriously...I want it.

In My Own Style 

Doodles and Stitches took a granny piano and made it play a new song

in this pretty shade of turquoise.

Pianos are always hard to decorate around but I sure wouldn't mind having this one

in my home after it's makeover.

DaisyMaeBelle found this 100 year old drop leaf table at a moving sale.

Isn't is just perfect in her space? 

I hope you take the time to link up this week even though I'm so late.

I love seeing what all my readers have done each week.

I'll have the photos from the Designer Show House this week. 

Everyone says they want to see even if they are super gaudy.

Should be fun to critique them. 

Even though I like this blog to be a positive space sometimes it's fun to slam things.

Please link up your Mod Mix's below.

Remember anything old made over to be new...anything new changed up to look old.

New and old together...
