Mod Mix Monday #197

I love this kitchen! Isn't that green cabinet fun? Talk about a one of a kind kitchen!

It's just so quaint and pretty. 

So I'm back with Mod Mix Monday...very late...but better late than never...I suppose.

And there were soooo many good things in the last Mod Mix Monday that I have lots of faves.

Here we go!

 Look at the color in this outdoor table scape from Pam at Everyday Living!

 Jamie of So Much Better with Age shared a cute sign she has hanging in her 

shall I say elegant laundry room. 

Wow! I love this room.

Vickie at Ranger 911 shared some changes in her living room.

 Darrielle of DD's Cottage shared some pretty vignettes from around her house...

but this was by far the prettiest. 

Her dog lounging in the living room.

 Angie of Postcards from the Ridge shared her dining room and the blue touches in the living room.

This room makes me SMILE just like the pillow says.

 Summer flowers from Jan at Just Jan Blog

Cecilia of My Thrift Store Addiction took a risk and painted her stove the prettiest shade 

of green and it was a huge success!

She was inspired by the vintage looking stoves made by Big Chill that cost over $5000.

I have drooled over those stoves myself. I'll be anxious to hear how this paint job holds up.

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

New and old together...

Roof Top Gardens

How is your summer going?

Mine is full of work and not much fun.

I'm working on a freelance design project at the moment which is why the blog has been lacking.

It should be done soon and I'll be back.

I always forget that just about the time I get my back deck looking nice...it gets too hot to enjoy it.

I didn't have time to go through all the Mod Mix Monday entrees so I'll just do it next week.

Hopefully, next week will be more under control as far as my time.

But for now..let's imagine what it would be like to spend some time in one of these roof

top gardens, shall we?

I love the dark floor and dark doors in that one above.

This one I'm sure is in New York City as it came from Martha.

How charming is this? Lots of roof top gardens. This makes me think how fun would it be 

to fly over my own neighborhood and view everyone's backyard gardens from the air?

 via

This one is super elegant!

Then this one includes everything but the kitchen sink! It's exquisite!

I'd love to see the apartment this garden is above!

Love that arbor with the built in chases below.
Many good ideas in this roof top garden to incorporate into a backyard garden too.
I love that tree in the huge pot! 

In spring I always wonder why I get in such a hurry for summer to end...and then we hit
those high 90's and higher days and I remember why we get anxious for fall.

Our best summer days are in the fall!

Mod Mix Monday #196

 via

Loving all these bright pastels!

Thanks to all that wrote expressing concern over my post July 4th blues.

Not to worry it's nothing super serious...but I do go into a funk after the 4th every year.

It makes me feel like summer is ending although I know it's just starting.

It stems from childhood. 

My Mom taught school and the 4th is when she started talking

about getting ready for the new school year.

She would go back the first week in August. My Dad hated it when she went back.

But she had to go back. They both had to work. And she wanted to work.

But school came first before everything else and we all felt it.

And now...as a middle aged adult...I still can't get over that feeling of dread that 

the summer is ending...even when it doesn't effect me at all any more. 

But all of you seem to be having a great summer! Just look at the things you are creating!

Sarah of Edea Smith made a very pretty display using a vintage window.

 Karen of Somewhat Quirky Design shared this headboard that she painted in a fabulous way!

 You'll be amazed by all the gorgeous flowers growing in Priscilla's front yard!

 Darrielle of DD's Cottage gave a little look of her home. This is her newly done vintage bath.

I love everything about this!

 Mary of Orphans with Make Up painted this little vanity and added some extra special details.

I'd love to sit at this to do my makeup each morning!

 And finally look at this media center Kris of Junk Chic Cottage created to house her

60 inch tv!
