Today is brought to you by the letter M



My new M!, originally uploaded by ModernJune.
So my favorite thing about Sunday morning is the Etsy "Get the Look" email in my inbox. It sends me off to many fantastic homes across the country, I am such a home decor voyeur, especially when it comes to that vintage and sometime kitschy look. Last Sundays GTL featured Kim Ludy's Mid-Century Modern home, and well, I must say I was inspired. Right away I jumped up from the computer and mimicked her vintage tray vignette. I knew I had just the tray hiding out in the pantry. Isn't it great, it is from my kids 94 year old Great Grandmothers home. The great thing about the GTL articles are the links for all those inspiring little goodies in the persons home. So, after combing Etsy I found the perfect letter M at Art Vintage, it is so cool. I have been wanting a great big letter since I saw this on Design Sponge, to die for!

My kitchen windows


My kitchen windows, originally uploaded by ModernJune.

I have to say this makes me very happy! I hate window treatments. I never know what to do with my windows. If I had my way every window would be bare. I love that stark look from the inside. But I live with people that hate that! Plus our house is on street level and you can see straight into the house and see every bleeding thing inside it. NOT good!


I got the idea for using the tea towels while setting up for the baby shower a few weeks ago. I needed to hide the grossness that lurks behind my shed windows. It was just not pretty so I needed to cover it up easily. So I went into my stash of vintage tea towels, grabbed a tension rod and a few cloths pins. Genius!
