Seashells, Seashells, and More Seashells!

So what can you do with all of the seashells that have been collected over the summer from trips to the beach?  There are so many ideas but I could only pick some of my favorites!

So much artwork and no idea how to display it...

 Most parents have the same dilema, your child comes home from school with a plethera of artwork that they are proud of and they want to show off every piece, but you have no room or the disorganization is making you crazy!  Here are some great ideas to help with the organization and will make your child happy!

Small Kitchen Getting You Down?


So not only do I have a small entryway (my second blog topic), I have a small kitchen.  Here are some great small kitchens that really utilize the space that they have to work with!

I love this one, it goes with my vintage theme from yesterday! http://www.hgtv.com/

So this kitchen has very little workspace, I would love to know if they have a rolling island in their. The crisp white and and stainless steel with the green apple paint gives it a fresh feel.  I found this  kitchen at HGTV.

Cabinetry that goes to the ceiling really helps with storage in a small kitchen.

Mirrors can make any room appear larger, just be careful because if used wrong it can make a room look dated. http://www.housebeautiful.com/kitchens/small-kitchens

Paneled kitchen with open shelves
Cabinetry can be very costly and if you need storage or just want to add some fun detail add shelves above the sink or counters.  Keep accessories simple so your small space does not seem cluttered.  http://www.bhg.com/

Add some vintage into your decor!

I love vintage, it's old, beautiful and has a story behind it!  Even if you have a modern home a vintage piece can still work!

I love these vintage table linens, they are warm and sunny and can fit in any style of home! http://www.napavalleyvintagehome.com/

Genuine Antique Ceiling Tin 5.5 inch Tiles
You can use old copper ceiling tiles as home accents from http://www.etsy.com/shop/kruegerenterprises

What a beautiful table for an entryway or hallway! You can add some modern accessories to it for an even balance of old and new. http://www.etsy.com/shop/VintageChicFurniture?page=6

Vintage Keys, Set of 7
I love old keys, put them in tray, bowl, or glass jar to display!

Vintage wine bottles have beautiful colors that can warm up a room.  You can put some fresh simple botanicals to add some nature with a vintage twist in your home or on your patio!

Bring the indoors out and enjoy the ending of the summer!

It's not going to stay this warm outside much longer so finish out the summer by having your favorite meal or drinks in your outdoor living space.  My family and I are certainly enjoying our outdoor living with candles, cold drinks,the calming sounds of nature and the last of the lush green landscapes!

This is one Martha project anyone can do...yay! You don't come across those too often. ;)  I love the simplicity of this centerpiece, and I say it works just as well indoors as out.
