O.K. friends...for those of you that live north of KY - over a foot of snow is no biggie - but for those of us in the great bluegrass state - a foot of snow shuts down the town! I would have to think back to my childhood (30+ years ago) to remember a snowfall like this! I'd say we have about 15 inches and that just doesn't happen here- well, except once every few decades ;-)
But...I'm not complaining - I LOVE snow - always have...always will!
This is a picture of the cabin outside my bedroom window early this morning. The snow ended up covering the bottom railing of the fence.
A peaceful look off the front porch...
My young man had to get out in it - unfortunately, the snow was so light and fluffy - you couldn't even make a snowball - bummer!
But when you are stuck inside - you get to do things you've been thinking about but hadn't made the time. So I'm talking about this lil' corner in my kitchen. Talk about neglected...it just looked pitiful - I mean I even had a cardboard box of mail under the table - sad.
So I cleaned off the table and was going do something different to the top but...
I realized I've got to many shelves all lined up - it was looking way to busy so I figured I'd just shuffle the furniture...
So a simple "switch-a-roo" did the trick BUT...that table was just out of scale there so I shopped the house and found one in the landing that fit much better...
I love the legs on this table - it is simply made of tree limbs with a distressed top.
I added a chalkboard, a letter and a few of my favorite kitchen things...including....
a scale that was a gift from my mom -filled with Halos - goodness, I love these things...
...a little spring green in the form of fake bulbs in a old wire basket...
I decorated the hutch with some simple yard sale wicker plates and some of my white pitchers and platters.
...And there you have it - my lazy snow day rearrange.
I even managed to hang my "FARM" letters today - which I've had since Christmas.
Simply being home - the main reason I LOVE SNOW DAYS!

Cathy,
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful... I hope all is well. Glad you got a snow day. It's cold here too.
Hugs from Oklahoma,

Your switch-a-roo looks great. Love your color choices in the room. I think the green in the scales gives a nice pop of color.
ReplyDeleteI love your rearrange. Those are wonderful snowy day things to do. Love looking out your window and seeing the cabin.
ReplyDeleteI am glad we drove through KY before you got snow because I know your state doesn't have the snow equipment we do to take care of the roads, etc.
Hope you have a good week- xo Diana
LOVE IT!!
ReplyDeleteWowzer, the change looks

I love a good rearrange!! And what gorgeous snow! We hardly ever get any. Have found you so happy to follow along! Pop over to mine if you have a mo, J9
ReplyDeleteCathy, I love your changes. And your chalk art is fantastic. I love doing it - but I'm not very good at it! Do you still have snow? We sure had some great snow and had a very fun day of sledding on our hilltop - I've been wanting to do that since we moved here 4 years ago and FINALLY we had enough snow!!! :-) - Dori -
ReplyDeleteIt is very balanced and attractive.
