A sweet dresser à la mode

Anyone know what à la mode means?

Because I wasn't quite sure until I just looked it up. 

I was pretty sure it had something to do with ice cream, which can never be a bad thing.

à la mode: fashionable or stylish

or

topped with ice cream.

I think it describes this sweet dresser perfectly.

 

 She's lightly distressed, has cute little wheels, hardware is original, painted in Manhattan Mist by Behr with detail work in Windsor Haze, also by Behr.

Farmer's Market

As I sit here typing this I am sincerly grateful that we survived this weekend. On Friday morning Rhett woke up with the stomach flu. Poor little man. When he get's sick we've had to take him to the hospital for an IV because he dehydrates easily so we were worried. Thankfully he seemed fine for most of the day, so we kept up a harried pace, trying to finish all the odds and ends we needed to get done for the market the next day. In the middle of all this we were told we had a tent to borrow, then that we didn't have one, then that we did and back and forth till we finally got our hands on one. Around 6PM we went to dinner with some friends and when we got home I promptly threw up my dinner and passed out on our bed for an hour.

All those aforementioned odds and ends equaled us being up till 1:30AM. Ugh. I don't know how I used to do that every night when I was still in school. And Rhett got sick again around 11PM that night.

We got up at 6AM and got everything loaded into the truck and headed over. We managed to get everything set up just in time to snap a few pictures and then it was BUSY!

Here are some pictures from before we got started.

(I apologize for the lack of quality of these pictures. We just had time to point and shoot and not mess with lighting etc. Better pictures will be coming tomorrow. :))

We have sales pending on booth dressers but other than that everything but the hutch sold! (!!!!) We met wonderful people, were blessed with great weather and Rhett waited till the end to get sick again as did I.

I am happy to report that this evening we are all feeling much better and none of us had to go get an IV this time. :) 

Red Kitchen Ideas

Hello friends, it’s another day with kitchen ideas and was keeping with the bold colors in the kitchen. Now we’re going to warm it up with some hot spicy red. Who of us would dare to use the color red in a kitchen? Hmmm sounds like a challenge of some kind. Did you hare me say who of us would dare to use the color red in the kitchen? Well friends I have to admit I have the color red in my kitchen but not like you’re thinking no not as bold and spicy like the kitchen I’m talking about. My kitchen throws a hint of the color in there with most of the accessories defining the color red in my kitchen but as you will soon see even if your just have a hint of red it makes a huge difference. Now without further ado If you’re interested in the color red for your kitchen I dreamed up a bunch for you to explore and to inspire you in creating a beautiful, bold and functional red kitchen. Check out these amazing red kitchen ideas below!

I hope you enjoyed all the red kitchen ideas aren’t they beautiful? I was amazed at all the red ideas in the kitchens above. It was different to see the splash of red formed in so many different ways such as red floors and just pops of red that make such a difference. I recall one of the kitchens just having a red door coming in to the kitchen and that made a differentiation. So the moral of this post is that you don’t always have to use a lot of one color but maybe that one color can give you the splash you need in a accessories or a floor or heck you can go all out and do all your cabinets in red but whatever you do I’m sure you would get a huge impact with the color red.

So what do you think? Let me know in your comments below!
