~ A lighter palette ~


I have been adding a lighter color palette to my home decor
pale pinks,greens,blues and creams
I love the way my french zinc watering can looks with the light colors and florals



The floral pillow shams were a $1.99 Goodwill find
love them


The ruffled edging is perfect
very shabby chic



A favorite chippy pink mirror



Pastel dried florals mixed with the antique french zinc flower pots





My favourite light green french bistro chair





The perfect color palette for Spring and Summer

~ Have a wonderful weekend ~
Hugs,
Rachel

It's lovely.....I could just move in!
I'm thinking of when we get to the upstairs I want to paint everything white, trim and walls.
Have you ever gotten tired of it?

Lara said...

Your new floral pillows are perfect for the whole look! I am looking for floral pillows for my couch right now. I LOVE your bistro chairs & zinc flower pots! The robin's egg blue crate you have found sounds wonderful; I can't wait for you to share it here.

Hugs,
Lara

Rachel- I don't know how you keep all that light colored stuff clean, but I love it. Wish I could do it, but I think I will just pop in here often and enjoy yours!
Is your scrub brush white, too?
