I've got to tell ya the no shopping thing(the economy) is really cramping my style over here, I'm struggling to find things to blog about is anyone else feeling the same way or is it just me?? Well I don't think I have ever shown you my fake door, LOL, I know it's kind of weird but I saw a real one in a Pottery Barn catalogue and I asked Jeff if he could make me one to look like the real thing so we used left over bead board paneling and some wood and there you have it my door that is suppose to look like it closes in front of my real door or something like that, hahaha. By the way this is my entrance into my house from my garage, it opens into my kitchen. I hope everyone has a great weekend(;Hugs~Kelly

LOVE it Kelly! I am a fake freak, lol! Not mentally of course, lol! But, I adore fake doors, screen doors, windows, anything really! I have tons of fake windows around the house. I LOVE the door your hubby made, what a great idea and it looks perfect!
Hugs,
Amy
OH, and I run out of things to blog about when I dont shop too, lol!
Kelly- love the fake door! Is the real door to the right where you see the hinges?
I am a little out of the loop- are you on a shopping sabatical? I love the idea and think it makes for being much more creative with the things you have. I found a ton of stuff that I have stored away to "get to" some day- Got my compressor and sprayer out yesterday and went to town!! Not finished as it was just the primer but I can't wait to show all the pretties soon!

Your rooms inspire me... I want to do my bedroom and bathroom all shabby chic tea party goddess! p.s. I would take a fake door, or a real one.. super cute! p.s. I have blogging blunder days too!
What a sweet hubby you have to make the things you like for your home. Love that idea!
cute idea. it's very pretty!
Love the door, can Jeff please make me one? I run out of things to blog about and then I have a long dry spell, it's hard when you don't shop. Why aren't you shopping, is everything ok or is it just the good ole economy.
Hugs,
LeAnn:)
Pretty fake door! It looks so good! I wouldn't have believed you made it, it looks like it did come from Pottery Barn! LOL. Unfortunately the economy has not curbed my spending habits..I just spent too much today..ouch LOL
All the best,
Allison
I love it! I gotta tell you that I was enjoying your song on your blog too! :)
Blessings,

LOVE the door! So fun, and cute!
Oh, sweetpea, that is adorable. I understand about the shopping. I'm cutting down because I have no more ROOM to put things. Working on the yard I guess. But I have never been at a loss for blogging.

Wow! I love your fake door!!! Your DH did a great job!! Blogging has slowed a little since I am not trapped in my house from the winter.. I am ready for yard saleing again. The weather is right! If the rain will stay away! Hope you have a great weekend!!
The simple pleasures always seem the most pleasing.
Lovely.
I myself am on the lookout for a very particular door. Not just any door... but one that matches up to my front door on my cottage. I can't wait to find it.
I never run out of things to talk about. I'm sure there are many who would love it if this ole irish tongue would hush but there is just so much in life to share!!
I love the fake door!
So pretty!
It looks so good where and how you have it placed. You are fortunate that your husband can build you something that you saw in a Pottery Barn catalog. He must be a talented guy, so along with your talent...your house must be full.
i just love these doors, job well done looks fantastic x
I just posted about the same thing on my Show and Tell. I did finally buy something today!!!
Your fake door is really cute...I love the jar of flowers hanging on it! Have a good weekend.
I'm laughing outloud looking at your beautiful fake door, I found one along side the road TODAY!!!! What a coinkidink!!!!! I left to get some flowers at the local nursery and a woman was hauling it out to the road, score!!! I was so excited! She just wanted it gone! I made her day and she made mine! I'll post it soon, Love yours, your husband did a great job, xoxo~Kathy~ Sweet Up-North Mornings...
I love it! Who cares if it's fake as long as it looks good? I know just what you mean. Sometimes I buy something (when there's extra money) just so I have something to blog about myself. It is hard coming up with things. That's why I do a lot of the weekly events that are sponsored by other bloggers. Gives me something to blog about that day!
Brenda
What a sweet husband! I love the door...what a great idea!
This door idea is great!!! Why didnt I think of this? LOL!
Well it looks great! I think that sometimes it is hard to find things to blog about, especailly when money is low. I try to get little things together or little ideas that I know I like and others will enjoy too....no need to spend fortunes. Well have a great weekend.

I am feelin your pain of the economy. We have a 250 mile garage sale going on this weekend and no money to go. Your door is great.
Debbie
I like your door. That was a great idea. It gave your home just a liitle bit more cottage character! I love your cottage. With all of the junk that I have stored up to repurpose, I probably won't ever run out of things to blog about! LOL It is so much fun turning trash to treasure!
Hugs,

P.S. Come visit...I put pictures of my dining room on there. I'm almost finished with it.
Love, love the fake door! When you get down about the "No Shopping Rule", walk around your house and smile at all the pretty things you have that make us all smile!
hi kelly,
i am loving the fake door (or should i say, i'm adoring it - LOL).
during a spending freeze you can show us details of your pretty things. i always notice the lovely fabrics in your rooms. i would read all about 'em!
come on over for my giveaway!
xo
I think there is so much to write about and you do a great job of it.
Have you re-done a lamp,window treatments, taken a trip to thrifts stores, changed out accessories in a room? I like your island-for a change, it works! I should start a blog as I have so much to say, to show. Maybe in the future, I can. Anyway, keep up the good work!
Great door! I love dutch doors! I know what you mean about shopping. I guess we'll all be posting lots of recipes (O:
Cute! Cute! Cute!
Since I just got started blogging a month ago, I still have some post material left but I fear the day my ideas run dry. I'm a real homebody and I hate leaving the house. Staying home is my idea of a really good time but it hardly makes for interesting posts. :)
Love your door and the pretties you dressed it with...inspiring!
That's adorable! So fresh and crisp...I love the shelf too! I wish I could find one just like it.
Blessings,
Spencer
PS...every time I come to your blog I sigh when I see your header....your kitchen is sooo cute.
Well, I've been feeling that since my husband got laid off in February. It has been very hard to get inspired to say the least to post, especially when you can't go anywhere to even look without being tempted. I had so many ideas to post, but it all went out the window. With all that said I think you've been doing a great job with your posting. It's always been a treat!
Take Care-
EEEEK!! Oh my word! Gorgeous Kelly! I love it! now I want one too :)
I love the simplicity and also the pops of color!! You are so talented sweetie! when is the book coming out? :) I need your house on my coffee table all put together in a book called " Kelly's fabulous cottage" !!
Have a sweet Sunday kiddo! Hugs, Cyn xox
Whenever I see a post from you I get excited because I know it is going to be creative no matter what you blog about....Love the door!

The house number signs came from:
http://www.flagfables.com/
Look on the left sidebar of the homepage and click on "Yard DeSigns." The changeable magnet "faces" come in lots of fun designs and will work on either their wall-mounted plaque (like mine) or the yard stake. They give you a couple sets of numbers with each "face" to add your house number. They also have matching garden flags, door mats and mailbox covers. Fun stuff!
Note: When you get to the page where it shows the different "face" designs, it looks like those are the only ones to chose from but those are actually just the categories...garden, summer, Christmas etc. Click on one of the designs to see more designs in that category. For example, there are 3 pages of Christmas designs! It says that at the top of the page but it's in light blue writing and not real obvious (at least to me) so it took me a minute to figure that out. Duh! :o
Hi Kelly! Adorable, clever, cute, inventive!!!! Can I borrow Jeff??? Very nice job; I'm thinking I need one or two between my foyer/kitchen and dining/room kitchen!!!! Love this post!!
I love your door! It's just too cute!
~Michelle
AMAZING!!!!!
m ^..^
I completely feel ya! No $ sometimes leads to less inspiration or sometimes more! Love the door! Also, love that you have Patsy on!
♥ Jen
Oh Love the door, your home is such an inspiration!! good to have a handyman around, huh..lol. I've put myself on your list of followers, looks like I'm your #200 !! what's the price?? LOL!
Have a wonderful week sweetie.
Hugs, Jannet
That door is adorable! I'm having the same problem...it's hard to think of things to blog about when you can't go shopping as often!!!
Love the door!! Love your blog too!!
Your door is adorable. Almost all of our possessions are in boxes, and staying that way until we move into a house. I have nothing to blog about, and only blank walls, and boxes to look at here.
I love, love, love that door and the whole look that is framed there!
The cottage look is my favorite. We moved 2 years ago and our house is very well suited for it, but we've had absolutely no money to buy ANYTHING. We really need to replace our main LR furniture and can't right now, so I'm holding off on everything else, too. No money just stinks, doesn't it?
Your place is beautiful and very charming!
So Cute!! That was a great idea. It looks great! :)
~Liz
I love it! I'm a new visitor to your blog, what a lovely home you have!
I often run out of things to blog about...I just started blogging to...How is that possible...Anyway, I always love visiting your blog and seeing your pretty posts...
