"Check" me out...

my sweet friend at Fancy Schmancy believes every room should have polka dots. I agree. So I started going through my house to see just how many rooms of mine have polka dots, A BUNCH!! But I also have lots of black and white check!! It all started with my love of MACKenzie Childs!! I love this patternMy MIL is so sweet to add to my collection on special occassions. And my mom adds the ceramiccollection!! I LOVE them all!!

So inspired by my sweet friend who is giving us a glimpse of all the rooms at her house that has polka dots, I thought I'd go around and see how many polka dots and checks I could find in mine!

So today here are the pics from my living room....{I'm saving my best room for last... the kitchen}

I made the frame during Mardi Gras this year!!


This picture is a little dark {sorry} but the lamp had
leopard spots, and the coasters are tied up with
a black and white check ribbon!
Also my curtains from Tuesday Morning!!





Another little frame I made for our Christmas Eve

gathering with family and friends!!



One of my all time favorite frames!!

With some of my all time favorite people!!

Mostly picture frames but they are polka dots!! The only checks are my curtains which are a tone on tone silk. I picked them up at Tuesday Morning during one of their sales!!

Come back and "check" me out for another peak into another room!!

4 friends have left a message for us:
