LUXURIOUS BEDDING - french country bedroom

I easily can admit I have an obsession with bed linens. I want to change them at least once a week to enjoy the crisp clean feeling when I get into bed at night. I have even converted the man of the house to want to change the bed just as often.

KITCHEN REVEAL - our home tour

Over the last little while I have rediscovered a few areas in our home and the kitchen is one of the spots I have focused on. I have also never really done a true reveal on this room so it's about time. It all started with a new set of shelves and spilled over to refinishing the fridge and even GG's coffee station got a makeover. I'm super happy with the new look and now it's time to share our little piece of heaven with you.

I STOLE THE NEIGHBORS FLOWERS - cut hydrangeas

While doing a simple errand yesterday I passed by a couple Hydrangea bushes.

George favors them in blue so I stopped to get him some.

He does bring me flowers on occasion.

Arranged in a silver tea pot,

CLASSIC!

Hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

UPDATE from yesterday.....

My compressor couldn't get over 60 psi anymore so she's had to be retired.
Last night we found her bigger sister with the help of the great ppl of Canadian Tire - White Rock,
and I put her to work this afternoon.

Here is the custom headboard all done mentioned in yesterday's post.

She's heading to a mountain retreat.
