The Star Mill

I’ve been impatiently waiting for this cute little place to finally open its doors for the season. This is a new find of mine and I quickly fell in love with this awesome place. My curiosity spiked as I was reading Kirsten’s blog and saw this beautiful mirror that was purchased there.

This place is lovely! Its an old mill owned by a family with a passion for antiques. Its full of amazing nick naks and treasures. The owner and her sweet family were so nice and helpful! Even if you aren’t out for a good find its amazing just to walk through.

Take a look:

As if the place wasn’t already amazing…. it has a wall of books that totally won me over!

The cutest room in the entire place: The Jar Room. Wouldn’t it be cute to have a wall like this in a playroom?

I couldn’t resist buying a few things.

My mirror, lamp, and books = $42!

I love the color and detail on this mirror.

I couldn’t resist buying a few books from that lovely book wall :)

I will be making frequents stops to this new found ! For those of you local to the SLC area, who want to visit, they are open Thursday-Saturday from Noon-6pm!

ColorSnap App

I was flipping through the latest addition of Traditional Home and there was a one page picture of the Sherwin Williams Colorsnap app. Say What! Its a free app that picks colors from a picture and matches it to a paint color for you. For real… genius I tell ya! I snagged the app and can’t wait to try it out! I’m curious to see how accurate it really is. So far it looks pretty cool. I played around with some colors matching my pillows in my bedroom.

You simply touch the screen in any area of your picture and it pulls up a color.

Once you find the ones you like you save the color palate.

It seems pretty easy and it’s extremely helpful! I think Benjamin Moore also has an app similar to this. So cool… for the love of smart phones ha ha!

If I Lived In Pinterest World

I found this really cute idea and thought It would be fun to create my own pinterest world! Everyone has their dreams and visions of what there house “will someday” be.

So here we go….

If I lived in “

My Kitchen would have open cabinets and a light airy feel

Where we would eat comfort food

and I would have enough time in my day to make my kids awesome lunches

If I lived in “My Pinterest World” my living room would be crisp yet comfortable. I would be brave enough to furnish and decorate it with bold and bright colors

It would have beautiful accesories

and memorabilia and pictures that would tell their own story

If I lived in “My Pinterest World” my boys would have the coolest  room that they could possibly dream of

and a backyard where they could escape for fresh air and let their

creativity and imaginations run wild

Our home would have detailed Craftsman Ship

and be nestled away in a neighborhood with big mature trees.

So that’s ““. Do you dream of  living in Your Pinterest World?
