weekend project . . . plant an herb garden.

there's nothing quite like a handful of fresh herbs to brighten up a summer meal. i've always wanted to grow my own herb garden, but years of apartment living with no outdoor space didn't exactly help me develop my green thumb.

now that i've got a house and a yard, i'm ready to take the plunge! i have the unfortunate tendency to kill every plant i touch, so i'm taking a bit of a shortcut and using some herb seed bombs i purchased from visualingual. such a fantastic idea for the novice gardener!

hope you have a fantastic weekend... see you on monday!

p.s. no fave finds today... they'll be back next friday!

weekend project: paint the kitchen!

these farmhouse inspired kitchens take my breath away with their gorgeousness!

my own kitchen might not have the spaciousness or stunning architectural details of the ones in these photos, but i'd like to achieve the same feeling of lightness and warmth in my small, vintage-inspired space. i'm planning on painting the walls a soft white (glidden's pebble white, in case you were wondering the exact shade) to contrast with the bright white cabinets.

wish me luck!
