glimpses of our new home
May 13, 2011
hi sweets! before logging off for the weekend, i wanted to share with you some quick glimpses of our new home! everything is not quite ready yet for a big reveal, but i’ve got some areas that i wanted to go ahead and show you. :)
this is looking through our kitchen nook. i just got this chalkboard wall decal in the mail this week, i love it so much!
one of my favorite finds has been this old trunk. i use it to stow guest linens in and place my beachy collections on top of.
the very beginnings of my sewing nook- the rest of it has a long way to go still. ;)
remember my thrift find?
a few garden greens in my ‘green house’ corner.
this is my work spot, in fact i’m sittin’ here now!
more thrifted finds that i dolled up with some fabric from my mom.
oh, and this is my new favorite plant! it’s a succulent called ‘string of pearls’.
and our favorite spot to relax outdoors. i’m working on an eating area and grill for out here as well, but for now these will do.
so that’s a sneak peak, loves! have a lovely weekend!

welcome lovelies! my name is bonnie and this is where i roost. i hope you'll grab a cup of tea and make yourself comfy- we look forward to getting to know you! you can learn more about me and why i love to blog 
WOW I LOVE all these photos and your house is beautiful! it look so fresh and clean. Seems like a very relaxing place! LOVE IT!!!!!
oh so beautiful!
You have a beautiful start! I’m so jealous of your sunshine and flowers! Can’t wait to see more!
gorgeous bonnie!
in your sewing nook there is a curtainish piece of fabric hanging on the wall…what exactly is it? it’s so lovely!
Beautiful! I so enjoy seeing how you put things together. It makes me see random things in my world in a whole new light! Thanks for sharing.
kristina, what a sweet thing to say. :) thank you.
hey jes! thank you, love! yes, we have a couple of unsightly heaters that stick out of the walls so i hung panels on both sides to cover them up. i’m not sure why i can’t find the specific ones, but they are from ikea and i layered it over a straw panel. here’s the same one in a different print: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00152343 :)
Wow-lovely! Looks like you have a very beautiful yet comfortable home……you have a lot of talent with decorating!
Hello bonnie,
I love your new place! Oh how I wish to find such a place in the future. Hopefully I’ll be able to make it my own as you did with your place. Love your blog, too.
Greetings.
looks fantastic, Bonnie!
LOVELY touches!
Looks wonderful! I love how you pull everything together! I can’t wait to have my own space so I can decorate it just to my liking! I love the ‘string of pearls’ plant!

It’s soooo sweet, Bonnie!

Your home is so homey. I adore it. I am especially loving the fabrics. So inspiring.
hey jenn! sorry for just now seeing this! i got them several years ago and can’t seem to find them again, but i think they were from CB2? i’m going to keep looking! xo
your house is so refreshing and bright.. i’ve never managed to have an orderly clutter. but you seem to have mastered it.. your home looks like it was professionally decorated.. esp your cabinet with the thrift finds!
i love it :)
Bonnie, your house is so lovely and delicate!, I love how bright and romantic of a feel it has!, and your roses are soooo beautiful!… no wonder you’re so inspired when you blog! *_^
Hugs!
