Blue and White Buffalo Check Valances


Hi guys, 
I wanted to pop in really quick and show you our new valances for the kitchen windows. 


It's been about a year since I pulled all of our blue and white china pieces out of the nooks and crannies around here. Subsequently, I've been on the hunt for more blue and white to add to our decor. 
Our Christmas tree had a cute blue and white checked fabric detail. 


I could see both the tree and the kitchen window from my recliner. It dawned on me that some checked fabric in the kitchen window would be darling. 
I've been watching a fun YouTuber - here's the link.
Liz found some darling valances at Walmart so I decided to have a look there. 

I really couldn't believe that they had exactly what I was looking for. 


This valance came with a pair of Navy blue cafe curtains as well. Each Better Homes and Gardens set was $14.99. The cafe pairs were much too long for my windows. They would also block my view. I love looking out when I do the dishes so I don't think I'll hem them and put them up but I may use them for something else.


They look pretty cute. 


My tiered tray got a pig and cow that was sold in the craft area. 



They were already stained. 
They're darling! 


I found a blue enamelware pot at the thrift store for $3.00. 
It was sale day so I only paid $2.25. 
What a deal. 


A spice jar from Pioneer Woman sits next to it.




 

The clock is from Walmart. The bird is from Target.
The market bag is from Hobby Lobby. The flowers were from Joann's.
The heart is from my favorite crafter.



That's what's going on in the kitchen.
What do you think? What a cute Walmart find.
Have a great weekend.

Deck Refresh

We have had some beautiful weather the last few weeks. 
 I had some time to give the deck a refresh. 


 We cleaned out the garage last Saturday. 
These darling green pots were on my potting bench. They were calling to me and I knew that they were a good jumping off point for the 2016 deck color scheme. 
 

 The basics on the deck were in good shape. 


 The blue sofa fabric was new last year and it has held up amazingly well. 
The Ikat accent pillows could not take the relentless Texas sun. 


A trip to the fabric closet and another to Joann's yielded some fun accent fabric. 

 Our favorite 60s groovy chair needed a new cushion. 
It came from Lowe's. 


Green and blue and white is fresh and a little unexpected. 
 

 Bill made the trunk. It stores the extra propane tank. 
The top just needed a little wash of white to freshen it up.

Last years blue and white stripe on the club chairs didn't fair well at all. The white immediately didn't look so white after just a few weeks.

 I flipped some of the cushions over and recovered the rest. 


 Fortunately Joann's had the blue outdoor fabric in stock so I didn't have to start from scratch. 
This fabric hasn't faded at all in a year.

We are growing tomatoes for the first time. The scraggly plant is cranking out wonderful mini tomatoes. The two other plants haven't done a lot yet.  


The red shed still looks fantastic. 
 




I'm wild about the bird fabric. It just ties it all together. 
Pop in to Joann's to see if they have it in your neck of the woods. 
It is just darling. 
That's it for now, Sweeties. 
Have a wonderful day!
