Some Home Updates

Fair Warning- I wrote this post in January and forgot to hit publish, so I hope you enjoy it today! 

I love starting over with a clean slate after Christmas. Our house is full of fun decorations from September through December, and once I'm able to take it all down, I enjoy a fresh, clean home. I always get the urge to re-arrange and change some things up, but honestly, I don't want to go and spend a ton of money. I may pick up a few new things, but I really just enjoy shopping from my own house, and making changes that can make a big impact. 
Our entry way had a ton of farmhouse decor signs, and I was ready for it to all go. 

I found two prints at Target that I was considering, and then I remembered that I had white frames just sitting in our closet. 

I hung one, just to get the feel of it and decide if I like it, but now I think i'm going to go back and add one more. I did add a new basket on the entry table to hold Gabby's leash and other odds/ends. 
I kept our dining space simple. I purchased this blue tablecloth last Spring and I still love it.

 I added a wood tray, some little bowls, a vase of eucalyptus stems, a small platter, salt/pepper shakes, and that's it. 
I purchased this mirror last September and I absolutely love it. 
I kept the sideboard simple. A lamp, a serving board, plants, a diffuser, and a family picture. 
I added some dog treats- but made it cute :) 
My goal is to keep the living room bright and simple. 

I had a big orange throw, but I folded that up and put it under the coffee table, and the brought in a white blanket on the sofa. 

Our home has blue and grey accents throughout- throw pillows, on the rug.... the dining table...
The decorations are in the same color scheme, but they're all just fun pieces I've found throughout the years. The little wooden carved house is one of my favorites. 
Gabby is loving the sofa. 
In the kitchen, I added a new dish towel. We received the darker cutting board from the Alamo Bowl, and I love it layered with my other cutting board, plus it brings out the darker brown accents fromt he dish towel 
I picked up a new duvet cover from Ikea, and bought a barefoot dreams blanket with some Christmas cash.

Come On In: Christmas Home Tour

I decorated early this year in hopes that I would blog our decorations and share them over on Instagram. and here we are on December 14th, and I'm just now making the time to share. I swear in 2023, I'm going to be a better blogger. 

But, come on in, here's a glimpse of most of our Christmas decorations. 
In our entry way, we have our collection of hand and foot print art the girls have made throughout the years. This year, I'm thinking about letting the girls make a guided painting from You Tube, because their feet and hands are getting too big to fit on canvas, and we've just about made all the characters we can. 
Our hall table, has my antique wooden Santa's, our advent, some whimsical snowmen, and a little tree. 
Over in the dining room, we have greenery, wooden trees, and pearl sprays. 
I added a piece of greenery and bells to my dining room mirror, and used the buffet table to display some of my Spode collection. 
Our coffee table has a small nativity, a tree, another antique Santa, a wooden tree. 
And our little baby Jesus for our kindness manger. 

Our TV stand is my faux- mantle. I used greenery, lights, red sparkle ornamnets, and wooden reindeer.
We also have a basket of our favorite Christmas books, and Christmas cards from over the years. 
Our stockings our over and out of the way by the back door.
I added little ski's rather than wreaths to my kitchen cabinets, added a bow to my wreath above the microwave, and a wreath on the pantry door. 
I ended up keeping our tree simple this year. We decorated it the first weekend of December, and since we aren't going to be home for Christmas, I decided that we could just keep the tree simple this year. 

We also opted to not put out our Christmas village upstairs; it was just so much to do! 

But, I love how everything turned outl I love sitting by the twinkly lights and enjoying a family holiday movie!

Come On In: Fall Home Tour

As always when life gets busy, blogging falls to the back burner and doesn't get done. Which is why I'm sharing our Fall decor in the middle of October, when it's been up for a month already, and in a month I'll be itching to decorate for Christmas. I love decorating for Christmas, but decorating for Fall is a very close second. 

So, grab a cup of coffee, cozy on up, and come on in. 
I added a few Fall touches to our entry way. A little wooden pumpkin sign from Target's dollar spot (last year), a ceramic owl, refreshened potpourri, and a metal sign, along with the cutest fabric pumpkin. 

The ceramic owl came from Wal-Mart a few years ago. I used a clear vase, to add in Fall potpourri that I've literally had for years and years. It has the prettiest Fall colors and I couldn't bear to throw it out, so I've saved it, and I re-use it every Fall. This year, I added in orange, cinnamon bark, and nutmeg essential oils to freshen it up a bit. 
Four years later and I'm still sad we don't have a fire place in this house, but I also love decorating this space as if it were one. I purchased the orange and cream felt pom banner from Hobby Lobby, add wicker pumpkins, decorated the tiered tray, and added a few more pumpkins inside the little nooks to complete the look. 
Last year, I decorated this tray with lots and lots of pumpkins. This year, I added a few on top along with a little wooden pumpkin "welcome' sign that I picked up at Target, and kept the decor fairly neutral. 
I added a dough bowl, and a few little pumpkins inside one of the nooks, but needed something to fill the space in the back and added in some faux leaves. 
Agh, this spot I'm so proud of! I've been looking for months for something to hang in our dining room that wasn't a bunch of family pictures. It needed to be large.... I have plans to add some beadboard, shiplap, or something to the bottom half of this wall... and with that in mind, I looked for a while to find the perfect piece. I love a neutral wood, and this mirror was exactly what I was looking for! Gretchen and I hung it all by ourselves, and I love it. I still walk by it and know that it was just waiting for our house. 

DJ's parents gave us the dry sink furniture piece, and I use it somewhat as a buffet. I added my grandmother's dough bowl, some pumpkins, and table runner for some color and texture. 
Our dining table was kept neutral with differen layers and textures. 
I'm not big on Halloween decor, but my children are. So, they have this little space in our entry hall just for them. I added bats on the wall, a big wooden spider, wooden ghosts, their treat buckets, a witches hat, and a little ghost feet painting. 
It's definitely a whimsical space just for them. 
Over the weekend, I rearranged our living room furniture- again. but I'm loving the arrangement right now. 
And we can't forget about this cutie pumpkin and floral picks that I picked up from Hobby Lobby. This side table needed just a little touch of Fall and these were perfect.

Target Fall Finds

I haven't decorated for Fall yet- it's hard to get in the Fall spirit when it's still 100 degrees outside. But, I ran in to Target and found some cute Fall finds which got me in the spirit a little bit more! 
I thought these napkins were just fun! We don't use napkins all the time, but when the holidays roll around, I love having fun napkins on display or for the girls to use! 

This "Trick or Treat" serving platter is so cute! Set it on your counter and add some decorations on top, use it to serve a Halloween charcuterie, or set it on a plate holder for display. 

They had a cute selection of melamine plates, and I loved this candy one! For $3.00, it makes a great kids plate, but it would be an adorable charger for a table setting. 

I loved this pillow, because it's only $10.00 and it's perfect for the entire Fall season. We have pops of orange in our home, and this pillow is a great accent! 

This "Boo" lumbar pillow is spooky, but neutral, and I love that it actually doesn't have a pop of color so it will blend well with any decor! 

I found this $5.00 rug in the dollar spot at Target, but honestly, you could use it as a rug, or hang it on the walls. It's super light and would make a great "picture/sign" 
I also found this $5.00 pillow for our front porch. 
I bought one of these pumpkins last year, and love the neutral look of it.

Come On In: Easter Decorations

Happy Easter week! 

I feel like Easter prep this year has been a marathon; doing little bits here and there, before it all actually comes together. But, I think, I've got it all figured out and we will be ready to go come Sunday!

Today, we are taking a look at the Easter decorations in our home, because decorating is my favorite and home tours are so much fun!

So, come on in!
Our entry way table, has a fun arrangement with faux yellow flowers and eucalyptus. A little bowl with eggs, and a few Happy Easter signs. 

In the living room, I added some Eater to my tiered tray stand with wooden bunnies, eggs, and a wrapped egg. I also hung a felt bunny banner. 
And an egg wreath hangs on one side of the cabinets. 
The dining room may be my favorite. I found the perfect blue tablecloth, a wooden tray, and more eggs, bunnies, and carrots to complete the centerpiece. I love arranging a center piece on the tray because I can easily lift it off if I need to. 
My grandmother bought my Peter Rabbit bunny and I just love him. I filled a vase with faux eggs, added some neutral bowls, a wooden egg, bunny salt & pepper shakes, and carrots for more color. 


I kept this table in our hallway fairly simple. 
A wooden Easter sign, and another bowl full of eggs.
Back in the dining room, our sideboard has a wooden bunny and little nest.
As well as a container of colored eggs, a pewter egg tray, and a little plant with eggs. 
More fun Easter signs and flowers complete an end table. 
And in the kitchen, I added ceramic bunnies, and a hand towel over our cutting boards. 

 I love how everything turned out. I really wanted neutral and calm versus bright colors or even pastels. Decorations in the Fall and at Christmas time can feel really over the top, and the simplicity of Easter decor has just really made me happy this season.
