peaceful views and simple white changes...

I hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekend! We spent our time at the campground and had a wonderful time. I took my son out of school early on Friday to beat the traffic and Jim had the day off. We ended up spending the afternoon at the lake. It was so peaceful and we just about had the whole beach to ourselves...The playground just waiting for friends... Row boats all ready and fishing docks waiting for someones first catch of the season... The cottage on the lake all ready to be rented... By Friday night the campground was just about full ~ all my neighbors were there and the fun began. Thanks girls for all the laughs, I think my cheeks still hurt!!

I did not forget that it is White Wednesday ~ and it is a big one! Kathleen is celebrating the big 5 ~ 0 over at Faded Charm ! Congratulations Kathleen and here is to at least 50 more!!!

When I posted about my new white couch a few weeks ago I showed you the old shutter in the corner. I raised it a bit and thought this print might look pretty hanging on it...
The frame was originally gold ~ I gave it a warm coat of white...
Very sweet but not the look I was going for so it ended up in my Etsy shop. I liked this look better...Simple sand dollars hung along some twine... I like the way it looks near my glass bottles... I am going to enjoy this for a while. I found some old tall windows recently and I think I might like one of them in the corner instead. I recently switched out a table in my Paris Hotel Suite too. Remember this pretty pale aqua side table...

I replaced it with this demi-lune table that I painted the same ivory color as the nightstand. I think the other table had more of a cottage look to it and this one fits in more with the french look I am going for...

I love the detail in the legs and it's petite size. What do you think? I have been looking for another place for the old table to nest in my house but I think it will end up in the shop. I am working on some other pieces in the same pale aqua and I want to try the new Behr paint/primer in the palest of pinks for some other treasures. I am hoping to work on my booth over the summer, giving it a new look and I think this combination will look great. Although you know there will still be some dreamy white pieces too. Well, just thought I would share a few simple white changes in my nest. Sometimes the little changes make a big difference to me. I hope you have a wonderful day and take a minute to say congrats to Kathleen on her special White Wednesday over at Faded Charm. This week is flying by and I am looking forward to this peaceful view real soon...
