This scene is starting to get to me – and it is not going to go away any time soon as there is a whole lot more forecasted to come again early next week.
Now, mind you, I love to decorate with white, but would rather see my flower boxes filled with glorious color instead of mountains of the white stuff.
To think of warm and sunny weather and to brighten my housebound existence, I went to my basement to shop for some pops of color in the way of flowers – FAKE ones. I would prefer they be real, but just seeing the pops of color they provide here in my kitchen along with a colorful new dishtowel makes me happy.
A little color therapy here and there for a Winter weekend.
FAKE apples too. Makes me want to go get some real ones so I can make my favorite – Ina Garten’s Apple Crisp for dessert tonight. Hmmm, I think I am on to something – with a mountain of white whipped cream. Yum-O!
My day has instantly become brighter. How is your day going?
I love your pops of color!
This is my first time stopping by! I love your blog!
Those pops of colour are perfect for welcoming spring!
Very pretty, faux or not. Your home is beautiful.
It’s my first visit, but I’m loving your blog! You have wonderful decorating ideas. I too am getting ready to cover some bookcases with an old book of quotes! (Saw it in your sidebar) Now I know it was the right choice. I love your cute kitchen and the new towel!

LOL! Your driveway looks like mine, Diane! With MORE ….like 20″!!!….arriving overnight! Yikes!!! And yes, I’m SICK of it!! Sooooo ready for springtime, and your beautiful faux hydrangeas are a wonderful breath of spring. Your kitchen is stunning, by the way. :) Batten down the hatches and let’s start counting the days til spring…. lol!

I love the pops of color. Also love the green of your new kitchen towel. I’m starting to crave the bright colors of spring too!
The colors are lovely but I also love the detailing on the floor around your island!!!
ACK!!! I am not loving that snow(or any snow) but I am loving your kitchen and those apples!!! At least it was sunny, I ‘d like some sun…Did I mention how great your kitchen looks? :)
Thanks Erin for your sweet comment. We are going to get snow and freezing rain later today. Talk about yuck!!! It is dark and cloudy outside, so the apples and flowers are making it look Spring in my house. Now I just want the calendar to confirm that.
Your kitchen is so completely adorable!!! Looks fantastic! :):)
Your kitchen is so cheerful! I love the pop of color. Those colors are just what a cold winter day needs!
By the way…how do you make the “reply” for your comments? I haven’t been able to figure it out for my blog.
And I complain the little snow that we have had.
Color will help cabin fever for sure! The pops of color look great.
I love the white and green apple! And I adore the stencil on the wood floor. So stunning!
You’re right, the white is beautiful, but enough snow already! “Green apple” green is my favorite color, so I love how you’ve used it as an accent. Spring will come again! I enjoy visiting your blog. Well done. :)
Well, I don’t want to brag or anything, but it was 70 here today and I worked in the yard. So much more to do though and it will be cold again soon I’m sure. Love your pops of color.
I love how you shopped the basement! Your home looks so cheery now :)
My day is great — it’s drizzly and gray, but it didn’t prevent the Chinese New Year’s parade from passing under my window. The pops of color from the dragons and the (tourist’s) umbrellas made the scene really festive.

They might be fake…but they are very PRETTY!!!! I’m having a GIVEAWAY…would love to have you come by and enter to win a gift card and some goodies!
Blessings,

Oh, you do have quite a bit of snow! It is beautiful but I’m sure it’s cold and a bit hard getting around in it.
Now your pops of color are just so pretty! Your kitchen is gorgeous and I love your new dish towel and your pretty fauxs. I love faux flowers!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
No white stuff here in California but my town has been gray with fog for weeks! I love it though, I much prefer it over the 100+ summertime heat :-) I love the stenciling on your floor! Clever.
I am so tired of the white stuff already! Love the way you added some “spring inside the house though.
Mine’s brighter now, too, after seeing your kitchen hydrangeas, Diane! I have an arrangement in the basement that needs making over. Maybe I’ll just steal some of the hydrangeas for the time being and make something that will tide me over through all our whiteness. We are getting more this coming week, too, so I feel your pain!
Double the apple crisp and drop it off!
Hi Debbie – OK
