The color theme is grey and coral. So when I saw these 2-sided Privet House napkins from Target, I knew I wanted to use them in the room. I love the modern patterns. And for $3-4 per napkin, I thought it would be a great way to bring the color and those patterns into the room. So I tried it. And it’s so pretty!! xoxo
Pallet wood walkway all prettied up again My pallet wood walkway in the garden has kept me busy today. I’m starting to think that bloggers just shouldn’t have gardens. Actually, let me rephrase that… maybe we should just blog about them more so they’re kept up. Back in the day I had a real green thumb. I just couldn’t walk by my beloved pallet boards one more time in this condition… so I started here. I wasn’t worried though. Each board was completely remove and replaced. And then I got on a roll. I pulled out my beloved saddle blanket for my knees, (from my riding days) and started getting serious with those ferocious weeds. That’s a light beam in the photo. I really loved how this plant just took over and ran with it. Sigh… I just love me some rustic wood! And no post would be complete without a bit of junk, right? It’s back! The little pallet walkway has been a trooper. A little photography trick? My kitty cat’s drinking fountain even got a deep clean. In case you noticed, she got a haircut from the vet.

Mason Jar Key Hook - StumbleUpon Hey guys! Hope you all had a great Wednesday I have a fun project to share today! I started with a 1×8 board from Lowe’s that I cut to about 2′ long. I used a different paint method on this board and I love how it turned out so I am going to share it with you in my next post. So for now… Here is my board after it is painted and ready to go. I also purchased 3 hooks and a pipe clamp from Lowe’s. My next step was attaching them to my board. Then it was time to attach the clamp. I used a 3/4″ wood screw to attach it to my board. Finally, I added to picture hangers to the back of it and hung it up. I love it. I’m thinking these would be super cute hand towel hooks for the bathroom. Thanks for stopping by! I will show you my new paint method in my next post so stay tuned. ~Whitney

Yeah, I don’t really like being that mom. I try not to go too crazy… after all, I know my kids gets real food 99% of the time… so the rare non homemade fruit snack or handful of gold fish crackers won’t kill her. Fear not.
