Kitchen Cabinet Brackets

We recently added these shelf brackets underneath some of the cabinets in the kitchen. I have seen this idea in books and magazines and also on some blogs. I LOVE how it turned out!!! The brackets are about $10 each from Lowe's and they come unfinished. I painted them and my hubby installed them. I think it gives the cabinets some needed detail and looks cottagey with the beadboard backsplash. Have a great day everybody!

Thrifty Finds

I didn't go to any sales this past weekend, but here are a few of my recent yard sale finds.
collage picture frame - $2
silver tray - $1
ceramic pear ($16.99 Steinmart tag on back) - $1
lime green charger plate - $1
2 small trays - $1




I have a TON of stuff I need to paint and transform. Do you? I am always looking for inspiration on what to do with this stuff. I had a wonderful 4th of July weekend and I hope you did too! Happy Monday!

A Couple of Easy Patriotic Projects

I did two easy projects this afternoon to add to my patriotic decorations. Pretty self-explanatory, spray painted the tray and frame and then added scrapbook paper. I really don't know how I lived before scrapbook paper. I totally love it! Hobby Lobby has it half off this week if you need some. Hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!

More Patriotic Decor

I am still putting out some patriotic decorations, although I don't have much. I used to decorate a lot with Americana type stuff so I still have some of that. This plate is one of a 4 piece set by Warren Kimble. I love his artwork! Have a great day!

Goodwill Bed

I bought this single bed for $7 at Goodwill. I was so excited because I had been looking for one for my guest bedroom/office. I added two finials on the posts, a medallion in the center, and then spray painted it black. I am thrilled with how it turned out. Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday! Try to stay cool!

Spiders Everywhere

I thought I'd show some of my spider plants since someone (sorry, can't remember who) was talking about them on their blog and how easy they are to grow. I love flowers, but prefer to have more greenery type plants because they are easier to take care of and look pretty good all the time. These do put out stalks with little flowers on them. They do well in pots and in the ground. Low maintenance is the reason I love them!

Patriotic/Summer Decor

This is a piece I have in my living room that I usually decorate for whatever holiday/season we are in. Right now I have some patriotic and Summer things on it.


I hung a flag plaque on my planter chair at my backdoor. I plan on putting out a few more things that I'll show you later. Have a marvelous Monday everyone!!!
