Coastal Kitchen and Family Room Updates :)





Recently, we've been making a few updates to the most used space in our home.  I just wanted to give you a peek at the changes.....can you guess what they are?  Come on in and I'll show you what we've been up to ;)



This is the view of our dining room/kitchen area....the biggest change here is one I've been waiting for a while.....new stainless steel appliances...yay! I just love the sparkle and shine they add to the space :



I found these morrocan nautical inspired, printed pillows at Burlington Coat Factory while on  vacation. At $6 each, I just HAD to fit them in my suitcase....much to my hubby's chagrin....LOL!  I also decided to change out the curtains, which is one of my favourite ways to affordably update a space. We also changed out our old bamboo roll up blinds with these white wooden blinds. The white really brightens up the space and also adds so much more light control/privacy.
 

                               A few pops of blue give a summer feel to the space.....



You can never have too many starfish!! :)


I found this gorgeous fabric to correspond with my Moroccan pillow and framed it in my existing frames for a burst of blue....



Some new smaller scaled bar stools and nautical striped chair pillows work well at the breakfast bar....





A starfish dish holds the liquid soap and dishcloth....pretty and functional!


                                
     A chicken wire basket is a great place to corral kitchen necessities like spices and oil....





Love my new country inspired faucet!

As the kids often like to work on homework on the breakfast bar, I decided to use these jars to hold all the study necessities....





                                  A new rug, found at Ross stores, makes doing
                                         the dishes a little more comfy!







               























                      And to finish off the tour, here's the view from the dining area into the family room.....we just love this room...hope you've enjoyed it too :)


Have a wonderful weekend!!

  4. I have been checking out your blog for awhile.. linked to it from RateMySpace. Congrats on the new appliances..they look really nice. :)

    I'm also liking how the navy is looking with all the white trim. I plan to go coastal in our new house so I have a lot of ideas floating in my head from your spaces. Thanks!
