Christmas in the Kitchen {2017}

11/07/2017 By Bre

I know that we haven’t hit Thanksgiving yet, and so for some it may seem a bit early, but in an attempt to offer inspiration before you start decorating for Christmas this year, I wanted to share a bit of Christmas decorating I did in our kitchen over the weekend! If you heart is pounding just at reading the word Christmas than I encourage you to check out my Thanksgiving table HERE, or my DIY Pumpkin Centerpiece HERE, just to calm your nerves a bit, and reassure you I haven’t totally skipped over Thanksgiving. I will say that I’m excited to start sprinkling in some Christmas here and there around our house. Once Halloween is over, it’s fair game in this house, and I will tell you my kids are just as excited as I am to start seeing Christmas decorations pop up. Honestly they are thrilled, and just seeing their excitement over “tiny trees” and our “little nativity” mixed in with our “thanksgiving turkey” all exclamations from my son and daughter, just makes the season all the more merrier.

DIY Pumpkin Centerpiece

Thank you SO much for all of your lovely comments on my Thanksgiving Table I shared over the weekend. It was so much fun to create, and I’m so glad you guys loved it as much as I do! I have gotten so many questions about the pumpkin centerpiece, so today I’m going to share with you how I made it. **Disclaimer: I’m not the best at sharing tutorials, half the time I just wing it, so this is my attempt to show you how I created it from photos I quickly snapped along the way.** I will do my best to make sure I cover all the details, but please don’t hesitate to ask questions about what I used, or how I did something.

Pumpkin Centerpiece Thanksgiving Table

11/04/2017 By Bre

Hello friends! I’m so excited to share this years Thanksgiving Table with you. I’ll be honest after the huge response to last years table, I was a little worries about creating one this year, in fear of how I was going to make it better than the years before. I think that as bloggers we sometimes feel that we have to outdo the previous years before, and we are constantly competing with ourselves to create the next biggest and best thing! So after getting over that fear of not creating something better than last years table, I started focusing on just something that I would want to create.

Fall Table Setting

10/25/2017 By Bre

I love the simplicity that pumpkins add to my dining room table in the fall. They’ve become my go-to decor piece for fall decorating, but unlike using real flowers like I do in the spring and summer, these don’t die at the end of the week. Today I’m sharing my step-by-step process of creating a fall table setting, just to break it down for my decor friends that like to see the whole process from start to finish.

Simple Farmhouse Table Makeover

10/18/2017 By Bre

Last summer a friend of mine moved, and I inherited a few pieces of furniture from her just before they left. One of them being this solid pine farmhouse table. I had no need for another table at the time, but honestly, who can resist a piece of furniture that has the opportunity for a great makeover?? I sure can’t. My husband looked at me completely puzzled as to why I was taking her table, but I said “don’t worry” just load it in the truck. It was a solid wood, pine table that looks very circa 1990’s-ish. But when it’s solid wood, and has great legs, you don’t hesitate.
