Open House Sunday

Sweet Little Cottage in Atlanta
 built in 1949
This little house as all kinds of curb appeal.
 I love the way the driveway attaches to the front walkway and curves around to the front steps.
 very pretty front door.
 There is a tiny front entry

 The living room is bright. Freestanding cabinets mimic built ins on either side of the fireplace.
 love all the windows
 I really like the dining room with the mix of farm table and green chairs.
Love the bright floral curtains too and the chandelier.

 The kitchen is a simple galley one.
 But its got nice finishes.
It looks out over the deck
 Oh...this attic bedroom is very sweet. What about that pom pom fringed bed skirt?
It is pretty pretty pretty.
 A simple bath
 another bedroom
Oh...I liked that window shade, don't you?
 lovely little girl's room

 and the back deck
 This deck has great potential. It just needs lots of plants and accessories.

The Painted Home

Scrumptious Color
and lots of it!
You just want to eat these rooms up with a spoon.
All of these images from this book -
The Painted Home by Dena
Next design book I'll be buying.
Of course I love the yellow and pink.
precious bathroom walls
This room is my favorite.

Have a Very Pretty Saturday!

Mod Mix Monday #92

Blue Hint
Oh...this is a pretty view from one room to another.
I love the wallpaper seen through the doorway in the dining room.
The blues in the first room hint at what is to come.
I think everything is pretty wonderful about this decor except....
I'm not a fan of that rug and that low bench thing.
It's just weird.
The painted floor is pretty and it's not painted in the next room and it looks good!
I don't like the cowhide draped on the modern chair either but everything else....
I think is just awesome including the wallpaper. 
Well, that's my opinion and it's my blog so I can give my opinion.
What would you change in the room...if anything?

On to this week's favorites from last week's Mod Mix Monday party!
Ok, this is aDORable! 
Kim of Made in a Day did a knock off of a stool she saw at Pier 1.
Her version is sooooo much better! 
And this is so easy to do.
Go check it out!
Chateau Revivals shared their latest furniture makeover.
You will not believe how ugly the "before" was.
The "after" is is streamlined and luscious.
Melissa of Daisy Mae Belle made this cute burlap and twine frame.
You can just clip your photos to the twine. 
Or whatever you wish...it could be little bits of anything.
What a pretty memory board this would be!
Ok, so there isn't really anything mod about this at all...but I loved it.
Deb of Lavender Garden Cottage shared several photos of her styling 
of this wonderful vintage bench. 
When her cats weren't sleeping on it..she made some beautiful vignettes.
This one was my favorite. 
Danielle of Finding Silver Pennies freshened up a friends coffee table by 
painting it with some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. 
I'd have a hard time giving it back once I made it look this good.

On to this week....
My goodness this year is flying by...

I always say...
"Time flies even when you aren't having fun!"

But this year is really going fast...because so far...I am having a very nice year.
