Lavender in the Living Room

Hello sweet people.  How was your weekend?  It was absolutely picture perfect here.  We were gifted with sunshine-filled days and warm gentle breezes.  I spent most of my time outside doing a little of this and a little of that.

Our kitty cat is loving the weather too.  He has taken to zipping out the door the moment it opens, running out to the flowers and rolling around in them, happy as can be.  His favorite spot is right in the middle of the catmint.  He has loved them so much that a few of the bushes became flatter than flat.

I decided to cut all the pretty lavender blooms off and let them start anew.  I brought them into the living room, arranged them in a galvanized bucket and decided they would be a starting point for some redecorating.

The grain sack inspired pillow came from Pottery Barn.  I've had it for awhile, since last winter actually, but had yet to use it anywhere.  I thought the color would meld well with the lavender. 

The ceiling in this room is ten feet tall, and I've been thinking that maybe it needs a few items with some height.  While out shopping a week or two ago, I spied another ladder and have been wondering if I should make it mine.  I'm not fully committed to the idea yet, so I decided to bring in the ladder from the dining room and test out the idea.

The little sprig of catmint that I had on the book also looked pretty hanging on the ladder.

Well, that's all I have for today.  I have to go out and enjoy the sun for a bit now.  I took a little break from visiting blogs over the weekend, so I'll be around to catch up with you all later.
