These purple crocuses are out now along with the white ones.. More trimming needed here I see!.

You can get so many nice light fixtures for a really good price at big box stores these days and you can always DIY yourself one too!We decided to treat ourselves (OK, myself) on this one though and went to a local speciality lighting store to get exactly the right one.

It cost quite a bit more, but it’s something we think we’ll love for years and years.. We also picked up this really simple pendant while we were there.We wanted something a little nicer than the fluorescent thing that was there before, but we didn’t want it to compete with the star of the show..The Edison bulb we picked up for it isn’t quite the right shape, so we’ll have to go back for another one, but it’s still pretty cute..

The overall effect.It’s not too bad at all!

Just you wait until we get the new counters and sink and backsplash and appliances and flooring and cabinets!

I’m just happy with some new light fixtures and some pretty things on the table for now.. Can anyone tell me what kind of flowers these are?So here are the jars in question:.

They just make me feel happy about stuff..These jars subtly set the tone of the room for me, along with those big black and white pictures in the background..

If you think you’d like to make some white ginger jar type things of your own, here’s all your need to do!.First, visit your local thrift store and keep your eyes open for something with a great shape, but really tired and outdated colors and patterns.
