Mini Entry Makeover.

The stripes on the wall in the front entry was a project that was finished in the dead of winter. The little room always seemed to be bright and fresh, reminding me of sunnier days.

Over the weekend, I decided that that little room need some personality. It's not a very big space but I made two small changes. First by hanging a round white mirror on the wall. Remember that mirror? Great check yourself out on the way out and offers a pretty reflection of outside depending on how to look into it

Then for some fresh spring color. I added too pillows to the little bench. There is still I tiny but of room to sit your bum down and put your shoes on! We usually go out the back door so in this case I could make pretty win over functionality:)

Almost forgot. Last time I shot this room, I had to strategically leave out the beautiful light bulb hanging from the ceiling. This time, I can include the little light! We needed something that wouldn't interfere with the door opening. I picked this one up at an antique store for 5 bucks and Steph installed it. I love a good deal!

It took me literally less than 5 minutes to shop around my home and style that little room up. If only the rest of them were so easy!


Linking up to Serenity Now.

Hello March.

I'm happy March is here, because it means that spring is in sight... technically, i guess. When I look outside, I realize that spring, here in PEI, is undoubtedly still a long way away. We've had record snowfall amounts and it doesn't seem to want to let up any time soon. It will take forever to melt!
Last night, the snow seemed to fall relentlessly, which meant more shoveling before work. Bless the delivery man this morning, who braved the drifts to my front door with a parcel for me (cookbooks from amazon.ca)!

Time for an escape. Of the imaginary kind...

I am a lover of white kitchens and this one from House Beautiful magazine screams spring. I think I'll just take a seat at that counter, on one of those adorable stools and admire the blooms, as I stare out that lovely window.

It's okay to pretend isn't it?

Oh.. and what is it they say? If March comes in like a lion, it goes out like a lamb.. here's hoping!
