Style Scouting: Vol. 181
Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.

Now that we are approaching spring, Ed and I have been spending a lot of time outside getting a few things fixed and cleaned up around the exterior of the house and the yard.
They are not fun tasks – adding new drainage pipes on the side of the house where it is like a river when it rains.
And for me, sealing our very long concrete driveway.
Both jobs were needed, but projects that don’t make a visual difference, just good for maintenance.
I am hoping to get back inside this week to start adding new color to two rooms, maybe even three if I can decide on a color.
Now onto the links I found for you this week.
Decorating
This Maine waterfront cottage built for two. If you like it, the designer has a brand new decorating book out entitled, Home At Last.
Not sure I would have ever thought to use the mint color in a kitchen, but it looks very inviting and liveable in this home.
For when I win the lottery. :-) I could live all day in the kitchen.
DIY
This easy frame DIY will add a bit of Springtime freshness to a room.
This cute Easter DIY to hang on a door or wall.
This daybed that looks like a sofa came out so nice.
This is one place where wallpaper looks great. You can also use fabric to to the same.
Organizing
If you kitchen organizing lacks organization, have you tried this method to help get the space organized once and for all?
Watching & Reading
I just ordered this book, have you read it?
Food
Bacon lovers – have you twisted?
And speaking about twists, how about this twist for a batch of mashed potatoes.
Blueberries and oatmeal never looked so good.
Fun & Interesting
Grab your smelling salts! Colin Firth set hearts aflutter as Mr. Darcy in the 1995 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, and the soaking wet shirt he wore in one famous scene is now going up for auction.
I know I am a “baby boomer”, but am never sure about the other birth year terms until now.
I laughed out loud reading this – I am sure you will relate.
Ha! Could you pass the Presidential Physical Fitness Test today? As a kid I aced everything, but could never do the “flexed arm hang”.
Something to Think About
Have you heard the term, Microdosing? Smart and doable for all.
How to stop avoiding your problems.
Why do we have a leap year and why is it in February? If you are wondering, 2024 is a leap year. In a few days we will have an extra day, Thursday, February 29th.

- I like that this tote bag has a crossover strap and comes in many colors.
- I am picky about having just the right firmness and loft in a bed pillow. I buy more than one of this one so when it needs replacing, I have a backup.
- I didn’t need an outdoor pillow, but when I passed this in an aisle at Lowes, I had to have it.
- I had a shirt just like this back in the 80’s! Should have kept it as it is in style once again.
