Spring Curb Appeal | Refresh your Front Porch

04/14/2019 By Bre

I don’t know about you, but every spring I can’t wait to get outside and start freshening up our outdoor spaces. Our front porch in particular is one of the first areas I tackle since we use this as our main entrance to the house. I can’t wait to take down the winter decor I had out there and clean the entire area. Not only does it look better once it’s cleaned, but it really makes our entryway feel fresh for spring! Since I’m in the process of doing this to our own front porch right now, I wanted to share my thoughts with you as well!

Spring Shelves in the Kitchen

Hello Friends!! Today I’m sharing how I styled my open shelves in our kitchen for spring! They are one of my favorite DIY’s we did to our kitchen over 5 years ago, and my favorite area to decorate …..

Finding the Meaning in the Mundane

04/05/2019 By Bre

Hello friends!! And Happy Friday!! I can hardly believe that the weekend is here already. I feel like I blinked and this past week went by, but I have to tell you I am so excited, because tomorrow we are getting outside to start our spring cleanup, and I am itching to get it started! My wheels have already been turning on what new plants I want to add this year, and some landscaping goals I want to tackle. If you’ve never seen the outside of our house I shared some views of it in last years landscaping plan post, HERE. But today I wanted to pop in really quick and share with you a recent post I wrote for the Christian Mommy blog.

17 Vintage – Style Goblets from Amazon

04/03/2019 By Bre

One of the questions I get asked most often when I share my tablescapes is not where I found a certain tablecloth, or even about the centerpiece I may or may not have made. Nope, not about any of that, believe it or not, it’s about the glass goblets I used at each place setting. More times than not, I’ve found them at HomeGoods, because scouring those shelves in that slice of heaven here on earth store, is one of my favorite things to look for. But it’s not always the most practical when I’m trying to share the source, especially with a blogging friend who is trying to create her own beautiful tablescape, and is desperate to use the same glassware! Well you are in luck!

Antique Silverware

To me there is nothing more special than being able to connect with friends over a story, and I loved being able to do that with you! In case you missed it, you can read the whole story HERE about my inherited china set, and how this set of plates that sat in basement for years ended up sparking my love to create tablescapes. Some of you had asked about the antique silverware also seen in the photos, so I wanted to share where that came from as well.

My Inherited China Set

I looked at my husband, and he looked back at me utterly confused, and without hesitation I confidently exclaimed “I’ll take them”! I wasn’t exactly sure, and didn’t really know then why I wanted them so badly, I just knew it in my bones – these plates were going to be part of my story. You can imagine the thrill in my husbands voice when he asked me on the car ride home why I said yes, but I just shrugged my shoulders, and replied “They’re just plates”. Meaning how harmful could a few boxes of fine china really be?

Easter Bar Cart | Brunch Edition

Hello Friends!! I can’t believe we are just about in April! I don’t about you, but one of the ways I love dusting off the winter blues is a little spring gathering. Whether it’s for Easter or Mothers Day, a Baby Shower, or just because, it’s so much fun to host a spring inspired get-together for friends or family. I have to admit, hosting is one of my
