Spring Fever

I found that darling pitcher at IKea in the scratch/dent section for almost 75% off! I added some bright flowers and I have spring in the corner of my kitchen! Remember the hideous picture frame I found at the thrift store? I originally painted yellow but I just recently changed it to white and I like it MUCH better! It’s amazing how bright my kitchen looks now that I have my corner of spring! I can’t wait for the flowers in my front yard to bloom!

Total Cost for my Spring Fever : $21.47

Airplane Bedroom Decor

My oldest son will be turning 4 in a few months. I’ve always felt like there was something missing in his room. It just needed something to tie it all together. A little Pottery Barn wall art gave me the inspiration I needed (the picture isn’t posted on their site anymore or I would list it). I used two boards, some craft paint, and a good friend’s sketching abilities to create the plane above his bed. He loves it!  His space is finally starting to feel more like a “big boy room”. I bought red curtain panels and added a light blue strip to the middles. Finally, my vision is coming together. I have plans to add a few more vintage themed things to his room.


The clock on this shelf will receive a makeover soon. It needs a little vintage touch.

He LOVES his new big boy room and comments on his airplane that “mommy made for me” every night :) I love that boy!
