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 Have the Monday Blues for Summer Wreaths

I Have the Monday Blues for Summer Wreaths, don’t you??? I love me a pretty wreath to welcome me into a home. A wreath says “Hello, I am happy to have you here.” (Well, in my mind anyway.) I have collected 10 amazingly gorgeous and original wreaths for you today.

I Have The Monday Blues with Outdoor Spaces

June 16, 2014 By Meegan 5 Comments

I Have The Monday Blues with Outdoor Spaces, today. I have been looking and looking at outdoor spaces for weeks. Our tiny balcony needs a little work and sprucing up. Hubby and I have a few ideas rolling around our heads, and we are finally able to follow through with some of those thoughts.

A lot of you might have a larger space to work with. Our balcony is actually about 5′ across and 9′ long at the most. So we don’t have a lot of room to work with. But, incorporating some of the inspiration below, we can transform our tiny space into another living space for our condo.

My New Quilt

May 19, 2014 By Meegan 4 Comments

Hello my friends!! Happy Monday! It is a great start to a new week. AND, I am excited to share My New Quilt with you today!! It has been a long time coming. Three years I have been looking for a Summer quilt.

We were in Utah to help Hubby’s father. He is 89 yrs old. He still drives, cooks for himself, does laundry, and straightens up his home. But, he needed a little help with some life decisions, and it was our pleasure to spend time with him. After helping him for a few days, Hubby and I took a break. Little did I know I was going to buy My New Quilt.

Thrifted Tea Plates and Saucers

March 10, 2014 By Meegan 2 Comments

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!

The Monday Blues-Mid-Winter Shelves

March 3, 2014 By Meegan 3 Comments

Happy Monday!! I’ve got the Monday Blues for my Mid-Winter Shelves today. I always love the blues. My kitchen shelves are one area that I like to change for every season in our home. Plus, if you know me at all, you KNOW I always enjoy sharing my blues. I am excited to share the Monday Blues today.

I also shared my Mid-Winter shelves on From My Front Porch To Yours yesterday. Pamela asked me to share “how I found my style”. It was a REAL honor to be a part of her blog. Please Pamela a visit and give her some blogging love. She would be so happy I sent you. Besides that-she has a fabulous blog!!

I am still out of town with lots of packing behind us. Whew! We are almost ready to make our trek across the country. I hope you are following me on Instagram and my FB Page. I am posting pictures and places of interest all along my trip. The hashtag is: travelingwithmeegan. It’s a lot of fun traveling with my daughter and her 4 children all the way to Georgia from Utah. We actually hit the road early Tuesday morning. Follow along as we see this gorgeous country!!

Now onto the Monday Blues Mid-Winter Shelves.

My Mid-Winter Shelves are filled with some of my favorite jars. Most of them are vintage and original Ball Jars. I also have 3 vintage milk bottles that help balance the shelves.

Hubby is the one that likes to collect milk bottles. The milk bottle with orange printing is from a local dairy where we grew up in Southern California, Foothill Dairy. So that is personal and nostalgic for us. The ball jar with twine wrapped around the top is a thrift find that I found for $1. Awesome sauce-right?

The scale on top is from my Grandma’s kitchen. Yes, she actually used it. I am happy to own it and have it in my own kitchen now. I made my own Farmer’s Market sign. My mom was so sweet to give me the 3 hook-lid Ball jars. (She knows me well.)

The jar on the far right was given to me by Hubby about 30 years ago. I didn’t even realize how much I liked vintage jars or bottles then. But have kept it in our home ever since. He knows me well, too (insert smile).

One last look at my Mid-Winter Shelves for today. Pretty soon it will be time to set them up for Spring. Time to get my creative juices going again, right?

Thanks for joining me today for the Monday Blues-Mid-Winter Shelves. Do you have Mid-Winter decor in your home, too? I hope you have been inspired, and enjoyed today’s post.

I am happy to be here every Monday for:

Come back again tomorrow for a Guest Post from Amanda with Mommy is Coocoo.

Make it a blue Monday!
