In Living Color
Life may be like "a box of chocolates" but I also think it can be like a box of crayons - filled with color! I know that I, personally, need to be surrounded with it. :-)
While I didn't get to play in the rain yesterday, as, alas, there were NO raindrops, I DID get to play in the living room ......
I think the chairs have landed!
Well, at least for now!!!!!
**************************************************************
I hope you have a wonderful weekend AND a beautiful Mother's Day!
Love you bunches!

Kim


















I didn't think anything could be as perfect as the black and white chairs....WRONG......this is fabulous!
I love how you have carried your colors up to your mantel!
I will stare as this for a long time :-) Rosie

What happened to the black and white slipcovered wingback chairs? Those were my favorites. Sooo Daisy Cottage!
These are pretty too.

Oh, they look beautiful there, Kim! That Shannon is a great little shopper, just like her mom. I hope you kept the other ones too and I'm sure you did. These are great for summer though, love the colors.
Have a Happy Mom's Day!
Love ya girl!

Hi Kim,
Happy Mother's Day to you! I love all your color at your precious home. I have the same little round table as you in your first picture. Of course, mine is still the dark wood color. You've given me an idea!
Blessings, Shelia

THANK YOU EVERYONE!
The black & white slipcovered ones will still be around - one might go up in my daughter's room, one might go in my office too..you never know where things will end up here! I definitely still love them and they can resurface in the living room anytime!

Kim

Hi Kim, I guess my comment got lost in blogland! I just wanted to tell you I love the color in your sweet home and I have the same little round table as you in your first picture. Mine is still wood toned and you may have given me an idea! Blessings and Happy Mother's Day.

I think the chairs are in a perfect place. You might not have much blue in your cottage...but they pick up on the blue in the books! Looks great!

Your chairs look just lovely in front of the fireplace. The blue in the chairs is just gorgeous with your other colors. Your daughter is a super shopper!Amy

Kim, it all looks fantastic. I love the color combinations. You've created a perfect mix.
Happy Mother's Day to you, too.

Hi Kim,
Looks nice a cozy (and beautiful - as always!), mind if I sit for a while and take in all the cheerfulness?
Happy Mother's Day weekend to you as well ;)

I'm a big color-lover myself, and your fireside seating area looks just beautiful!!

Oh how I love all your colors, Kim. I have red and yellow in my house too. I love the fireplace with so many bright colors. Happy Mother Day, Rosemarie

I know, I know...I'm saying it yet again...I'm playing "catch up" with my blog reading. It happens more often than I ever thought possible. But I'm not complaining though. My life is full and happy, so sometimes I get behind.
It's always fun to visit you. I always enjoy seeing what you're up to and I leave here smiling.
Happy Mother's Day.
Hugs!
Kat
