A French Ladder and Some Tulips

Happy Sunday~

I hope you are all enjoying the long weekend. Things have been pretty low key here. My husband had to work all weekend so we stayed put here. Kind of a bummer since moist people took off for the long weekend. Luckily my son had some baseball practices and I have been working on getting my daughters room ready for the Big REDO. Today we are headed to my in laws house to see some of the cousins. The kids are so excited. So am I because my sister in law, Kirstin will be there too and we haven't seen them in so ...long:)

Ok, so I have to say that I am a big copycat. A couple of weeks ago I came across this awesome French ladder at a store in La Canada called Julie O'Keefe Home and Garden. I fell in love with it. I wanted it. It had just the right amount of a chippy slate colored blue on it. Perfect for me..right?? But, I REALLY had no clue what to do with it. 

Then I remembered...... I had seen a ladder similar to this one in Tracey's home from French Larkspur. She hung grain sacks from it. I love grain sacks and French towels and I think Tracey's style is one of the best around. So......... I bought the ladder.

I added some grain sacks and French towels and put it in my kitchen.

It fit perfectly in the eating area of my kitchen. It was made for my house.... I think.

Love this paint color

Thanks to Tracey for all the inspiration... hope you don't mind:))
And of course, I can't resist some flower pics. These tulips are from Trader Joe's and they are on my kitchen table .Tulips really are "Happy Flowers". I just wish they would last a wee bit longer.

Ok, I promise just one more flower pic. I have to say that I love the way my camera photographs flowers. My camera is honestly one of the best gifts I have ever received. I am really enjoying it. Most of the pics I  have taken so far are for the blog or my Etsy store. I can't wait to take it on a trip.

And.............
This past week I was super lucky and won TWO giveaways. Look what I got:

This fabulous pillow came from Kim at Bella Rustica. I says "Simplify" in Italian. Perfect for what I am trying to do this year.

All of these treasures came from Jessie at A Cozy Cottage In The City. Look what I did with the plates.

They are in my dining room. I flipped the one plate over. I like the back of it too.
What do you think?

Hope you all enjoy the rest of the weekend
