When you live in little cottage, space is limited and must be carved out wherever possible.
In between playing nursemaid and doing chores, I found the time to change the mantel from a Valentine theme.
The problem was - where to put things?
I use this cupboard on the porch for outdoor tablecloths and napkins, garden tools and supplies .
What if I use it to store my everyday linens and out of circulations vases, pitchers, etc.?
I moved some pitchers around and edited the contents of the cupboard.
Rarely used items were moved outside to the cupboard and
things are much more organized - I can actually find what I need.
It is beautiful and HOT today and if it wasn't so windy, we would have eaten lunch outside.
The windows are open and the sun is shining down on Steve as he rests on the sofa.
I cannot clean inside for fear of disturbing him - darn!
I am forced to work in the garden.
I have fluffed and fixed and found space for all my linens.
And now, it is time to find a home for these lovelies.

I love your cottage home and all the pretty things that decorate it. Looks like a lovely, sunny day. It's been a little cloudy here, down south of you, and just a light breeze. But, I've heard there are high winds in areas all around us. Hoping for a sunny day tomorrow. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty photos. I love the Americana feel of your porch. Everything looks great. I can't wait to do some gardening. It's so therapeutic! Enjoy your pretty flowers!

It's very windy here, but *cold* Brrrr!!!! I'm jealous you're getting to work in your garden. I'd love that! I think having a little armoire on your porch is a great idea. I'm working on cleaning out the kitchen and putting away things we don't often use.
