Showing off Rachel!

Hello my friends! I have a fantastic blogger to share with you this weekend! Rachel at Shades of Blue Interiors has a beautiful blog and home and I know you will love her! I've been planning to share her for some time and I'm excited today is the day. :)

Of course I have to start with her beautiful kitchen redo -- the best part about it is the changes weren't crazy expensive. She kept the same cabinets and painted them:

The new counters and backsplash made a big difference too. She also added the island which I LOVE. 

Another favorite of mine is her entryway and the beautiful set up she has there:

Rachel shares how to make that hanging "mantel" here and isn't that pew beautiful? Love all of the textures too.

She offers plans and tips for building furniture as well. I have a couple favorites -- this desk is awesome:
Desk13

I love that it has storage and the middle lifts up so it could be used as a vanity as well. So cool! What a lovely piece that serves double duty. 

I love any furniture with an "x" so this console is another favorite:

It would be great for a foyer or as an entertainment center under a TV. 

Rachel's DIY pallet wall in the family room is beautiful as well -- I love the texture and warmth it brings to the space:

I also LOVE that they were able to hide all of the TV and component cords behind it -- brilliant! You know how much I hate cords. :)

And finally, but certainly not least, her patio update has me all kinds of excited to update our deck this summer:

See! I told you -- so lovely. Rachel has fantastic taste and mad skills! Be sure to check her out this weekend and enjoy all of her projects.

Have a wonderful weekend! It's supposed to get into the 90's tomorrow, and it was about 72 three days ago. Indiana weather keeps things interesting! :)
