If you have followed me for a while, you might recall that I have a tendency to be rather fickle with regard to color.
I fall in and out of love almost as fast as a contestant on The Bachelor.
One day a color is my main squeeze and the next it's out.
Last fall, I spied a darling truck at Hobby Lobby.
There was very little red in the house until I bought this truck.
My son brought me an adorable bird house from Seattle at Christmas.
After Christmas, I couldn't pack away the red.
Our Valentine's Day decor featured red instead of my "go to" pink.
Slowly but surely, red has been creeping into more of our spaces.
A few weeks ago, Bill kicked me out of the house so he could work on his woodland garden centerpieces.
Read about those in this post.
He gave me some cash and kicked me to the curb.
Actually, I went estate sale-ing.
One of the sales featured a collection of red and white Mason's tranferware.
It was half price day. The large pitcher was $30.00. The small was $12.00.
They are fabulous.
The dining room got a red and white tablescape to showcase the new pitchers.
My oak leaf hydrangeas are blooming like crazy.
The red truck that started it all, got a cute summery load.
The niches in the kitchen were emptied, cleaned and filled with red china and glassware.
It never dawned on my to display these red glasses. Love, love, love!
I needed a spot to stash the blue so the dish dresser got a set of curtains to hide the contents.
I am absolutely in love with this. It looks like checks but it's actually vintage red and white ticking stripe. My grannie's chair and pad are put into action.
Finally, the best ever red fabric by P. Kaufman was used to make a few pillows.
You might ask, "Why so cottage looking, Katie?"
We stumbled upon a cottage built in 1901. It was in a great neighborhood. Sadly, there are drainage and foundation issues that have scared us off.
It was also priced as if it had some remodeling. Nope. That kitchen hasn't been touched since the 60s. There was also another kitchen at the back of the house. What?
That's what's going on with me these days.
My projects are a few weeks behind my blogging which isn't good.
I'll try to do some catching up. Hopefully, I can put together a summer house tour.
Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you are having a wonderful day.
Katie
