I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I have been (once again) moving our furniture and accessories around. And it got me thinking…
How To Add a Cottage Look the easy way.
Yay! I’ve got the Monday Blues and I am excited to show you a few simple ways to How To Add a Cottage Look in a few EASY ways for any home.
First of all, it just takes ONE step to get you started.
Welcome! I am SO happy to have you here. I have taken a break from I’ve Got The Monday Blues, BUT today I am starting it up again. And I couldn’t be happier to show you 10 DIY Creative Door Ideas.
There are doors of all shapes sizes, curves, borders, barn doors, cupboard doors, doors with screens, painted, chippy and so much more.
This is one of those posts that my creative juices were going crazy. I REALLY love each and every one.
Happy Monday everyone! I hope your Easter Sunday was filled with lots of family, food, Easter egg hunts and lots of love. We spent the day with some of the grandkids, nieces, nephews and cousins. It was really precious.
I am happy to have you stop by today for another version of The Monday Blues. Today I have the Monday Blues for Vintage Silverware in a Barnwood Box.
I know, it makes my heart skip a beat, too.
I am blessed to have several barnwood boxes from a wedding I did the flowers for in Sept 2012.
Now I use them around my home. Today I want to show you my GREAT-Grandparents REAL Vintage Silverware in a Barnwood Box.
Happy Monday! I have the Monday Blues for Red and Pink since Valentines Day is coming soon. I am happily sharing some of the BEST red and pink projects to inspire you.
If you like red and pink and you are looking for some ways to incorporate it into your home and accessories, this is post you have been looking for.
From lamps, to dressers, to chairs, tea towels, amazing string art, step stools, tea canisters, and chandeliers. It’s all here. And it’s all about Monday Blues for Red and Pink.
I have been browsing all through Pinterest and Facebook to show you some of MY favorite “Blue Chippiness”.
So let’s get started!
Happy Monday!! I have the Monday Blues for Christmas In July. I know-don’t BOO just yet! You KNOW Christmas is just 5 months away. And, I think it’s fun to look at Christmas ideas all year long. You don’t have to make or think about Christmas yet, BUT you can look, right???
I have several ideas from some of my fave blogging friends that are sharing here with me today. Each will inspire you for your own Christmas creativity.
Happy Monday!! I am home for a few days after traveling to 11 states in 5 days!! To see more of my travels over the next week up to Oregon follow my hashtag: #travelingwithmeegan on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. I have already shared lots and lots of my travels, I am excited to be gone for another trip. You will enjoy it as you follow me, too.
I’ve Got the Monday Blues for some thrifted Tea Plates and Saucers. I found these lovelies about 3 weeks ago. Each one was calling to me saying,”You need me for above your laundry closet!” Well, not really, but how could I NOT buy these for our home???
And, at 50 cents to a dollar a piece, I REALLY had to get them. As I perused through the stacks of plates. I wondered what stories each plate could tell me. Did they belong to a full set of china? Were they someone’s best dishes? Where were the other pieces that matched?
That’s how my brain works. They aren’t just plates to decorate with, they are pieces of someone’s history. Now they are MY history, right?
After attaching each one with hot glue and a paper clip, I was ready to hang my thrifted tea plates and saucers.
I switched my plates above my pantry for a new look and variety.
I am happy to have my laundry closet area look a little more inviting. The tea plates and saucers add charm and personality to what was an empty, blank slate.
I am really happy with this look. My thrifted tea plates and saucers were right! I DID need them above my laundry closet.
Now I am looking for some tea cups for a new Spring vignette that I want to create in our living room. I can hardly wait to share it with you.
I am happy to be here every Monday for:
Make it a blue Monday!

Happy Monday!! I am finally out of bed and rid of the yucky flu that’s hitting everyone!! Yay!! Now I have the Monday Blues-Lighting The Way. Well, not exactly. But you will see what I mean. This ending up being a really fun post for me to photograph and share with you.
I have been looking for months for some lights to drape over my mirror. I found some at Big Lots. They are patio lights. I was so excited to get them home and light the way, per say.
But, to my surprise, they were not white bulbs at all, but colored. Hmmm…I was disappointed. I REALLY wanted white. Well, the blue fit my color scheme, so that’s okay, I guess.
Whoa! They were ever so slowly changing colors. Hmmm…I might like these, but I still wasn’t sure.
But watching them change colors was kinda cool. They were surprising me every few seconds.
From whites, to bues, to pinks, lavender, green and varied colors all at once. I was falling in love with my new lights.
They are now one of the favorite spots in my home! Who would have thought, right? I went in the store looking for white lights and came home with something I like even more.
My Monday Blues-Lighting the Way. Aren’t they fun, and inviting? I light them up everytime I know visitors are coming. It’s a nice ambiance for the whole room. Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest impact, don’t you think?
Are YOU going to look for some lights to light the way in your home? I would LOVE to see them!

I’ve Got The Monday Blues For A Little Christmas Shelf and I am excited to share it with you today! You KNOW that I LOVE blue, right? I have a shelf that I thrifted, refreshed and now it hangs in our “office”. I decided to add a little Christmas cheer by adding a few things I already own.
You may also know how much I like to use empty frames to decorate our home. This shelf is no exception. Staggering 4 of my favorite frames I began to set up my shelf.
I bought tiny birdhouses at Jo-Ann and painted them with some of my favorite blues and whites last year. While the paint was still wet, I sprinkled iridescent glitter on each one. SO EASY!
I made the light blue tulle wreath for our son’s wedding from an embroidery hoop. EASY!! I found the “let it snow” sign in the dollar section at Target. (Gotta love the dollar section, right?)
I also made the small blue/green frame with the flower. I found the brooch at Hobby Lobby. I enjoy using this frame all year long. I really like the addition of the glitter and how each birdhouse shimmers in the light.
And one last look at my Little Christmas Shelf. While I am working on blog posts, I can look up and it makes me smile to see a little Christmas Cheer.
What do you have in your office for some Christmas Cheer?
I’ve Got The Monday Blues For A Little Christmas Shelf, do you, too???
Thanks for stopping by today and making my day a little brighter…

So let’s see what we have for the Monday Blues with Shabby Chic today…
It’s Monday!! Gotta love a Monday!! I’ve got the Monday Blues!! But, the best kind of blues. Come on and let’s see what is making me so blue…
This vanity and blue mirror are just the right touch for this bedroom. With the blue walls and the white curtains, everything blends well. Did you notice the walls and 2 furniture pieces are all different blues?? Love it!!
This buffet is so gorgeous as a wedding cake display. The added pillows and turquoise drapes are so romantic. The pink is such a beautiful balance. What a lovely touch for a vintage wedding.
How can you resist this vintage shelf with the wall paper in the back? The white bottles add contrast, along with the gold birdies. Cute stuff!!
Okay, I could have this, couldn’t you?? The white walls and the windows and empty frames are so me!! Again, 3 different blues on the 2 chairs and the table. I think I need this for sure!!
And, don’t these vintage blue pots make you feel Spring? Should we make some of these??
And, for Easter these lovely blue eggs.

And for a special treat today along with my blues, Barbara from Chase the Star asked me who my First Blog Crush was. You can read my response here.
Here is a small snippet from my answer:
“was the crisp simplicity of ____’_ taste, the photos were like a ray of sunshine, and her blog inspired me to change my own home decor to softer whites and light blues. Since browsing through her blog, my taste and style for our home has changed for the better. “
Can you guess who it is??

Make it a blue Monday!!
Good Blue Monday to you!! How was your weekend?? What keeps you busy?? This past week I had the flu…Boo!! It really knocked me for a loop. But I am feeling much better. And blue always makes me feel better, that’s why I’ve got the Monday Blues.
Today I am taking a little different approach to my Monday Blues. I thought it would be fun to show you a couple of the blues in our “new” office. The reveal for the office will be soon, but until then here are just a few blues that make me smile.
We say this is our office, but it is really a bedroom with one whole wall being a closet. It used to be our TV Room, but after moving a few things around we have transitioned this room into an office. The room is so much more convenient and useful like this. As you walk in the office from the living room, there is a tiny wall on the left. And my blue framed silhouettes of our kids fit this space just right.
This is the perfect home for these lovely blue frames. We had them done when all of our kids were small. The frames were black but I couldn’t resist and painted them with Turquoise Mist by Olympic. The silhouettes blend with our gallery wall now.
This candle stand also adorns the tiny wall. When I bought her she was gold. But, that didn’t last long.
I painted these jars and vase for a wedding last Summer. Tying them with twine adds texture and an aged look. They make me smile with Tiffany blue.
They are sitting on top of our bookshelf:
I bought this lovely at Target. The white back was too stark, so I added pieces of scrapbook paper to add depth and color. She looks much better, don’t you think??
You will also find another blue in our office. This thrifted shelf I found for $3. She is hanging just above our computer desk. (where I am sitting right now) It is refreshing to look up and see this delightful shelf.
Now you can see why I’ve got the Monday Blues. Gotta love me the Monday Blues.
I’ve got the blues every Monday, so come back again next week:

Happy Monday!!! I’ve got the Monday Blues-but in a good way!! Gotta love me some blues and to share them with you!!
What is not to love about this blue bedroom?? From the headboard, footboard, to the blue picture, and the blue poms. And then the dark wood floor to hightligh all of it. Love this look.
Oh, to have a tub like this!! The blue walls, the shutter, the chandelier, and then the towel armoire. Pure blue perfecton in this room.
Who would have thought?? Blue ombre staircase spindles!! Genius blue idea!!
This blue cupbaord is pure inspiration for me. The books, shells, birds all inspire me. And look at the handles and key holes in the drawers!!! Icing on the cake for this blue love!!
How cute is this playhouse?? The deck painted gray is just the right touch for the aqua door. I think the grand babies need a play house….
Now for my fave Monday Blues in our home:
This little cute cupboard was just adorable in the 90s with a painted cherub on the front. Then she was bright red. When we moved in here, I knew she needed to be blue.
This beauty finds her home in our guest bathroom. Just the right spot for her. She holds our toilet paper, along with a few added embellishments on top. The green stencil flows with our TV Room, right through the bathroom door.
I’ve got the Monday blues after after seeing all of these gorgeous blues?? Don’t you??

Make it a blue Monday!!
I have the Monday Blues!! I have them every Monday… And today I want to share my fave blue in our home this week. Wrapped and Stenciled Monograms.
Don’t you just love monograms?? They are everywhere right now-and there are so many varieties! Today I will share 2 that we have in our home…
You have probably seen a twine wrapped chipboard monogram. They are so versatile. They work with vintage, cottage, and eclectic decor. I have used them and have seen several of them used at weddings as well.
For my blue “m” I started out with a styrofoam letter. You can purchase them at any floral supply. You can also purchase any type of letter cut out for this idea and look.
Using my turquoise mist paint from Olympic, I painted my “m”. Once it was dry, I used the same stencil that I used for my Stenciled, Refreshed Rug. Easy!!
The stencil for the “m” monogram was done in Antique White craft paint. I like the stenciled corners as well, as an added touch.
The “R” is for Hubby’s name-rustic and tough. He also lived in Texas for awhile, so this look is perfect for his monogram.
The “m” is more feminine and more like me. And of course, it is blue…
These wrapped and stenciled monograms have found a great home right next to my grandma’s vintage shelf.
Do you have monograms in your home? There are so many ways you could incorporate them. Let me know of your ideas and creative thoughts about monograms. I would love to hear them!!
Join me next Monday for another Monday Blues!!
I hope we can stay connected:
