Yep that’s right! That is exactly how I would describe our new curtains in our living room. Not too hot, too cold, but just right! In other words, not too dark, not too light, but just right! You see I love all white, truly I do, but sometimes it feels just a little to blan for me after awhile. And while throw pillows can certainly add their pop of color, I really just wanted something that would cause a bit more of a change.
I am so excited to be teaming up with 4 other amazing bloggers this week and Kirklands to give you the first looks of Christmas in our home. Whether it’s your first time visiting our blog, a recent acquaintance, or a long time friends, Welcome and Happy Holidays! My number one goal is to make our home feel …
On my tablescape I used mini bundt cakes to create a unique and individual place setting. So today I’m going to share with you how I created them. These mini bundt cakes are so easy to make, it’s really the pans and the embellishments that make them look so delectable. I have come to the conclusion that mini-cakes are like puppies or kittens, and any other kind of baby animal. Their cuteness factor lies in their small size, and thus makes them simple irresistible!
I’m so honored to be teaming up with the ladies joining me today for another installment of Farmhouse Holiday Decor. Today we are sharing our Christmas tablescape partnered with HomeGoods! I know, I know it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but just think of it this way, you will have plenty of inspiration ready at your fingertips while your kids are doing the dishes after your Thanksgiving meal, Lol! So I hope you will find tons of inspiration in todays tour, I can’t wait to see what the other ladies came up with, and you also have the chance to win a gift card to HomeGoods!
It’s no secret around here that I love creating tablescapes! You’ve heard me say it before, and I will probably say it again. Which is why I am so excited to share a NEW mini-course created just for Holiday DIY Tablescapes, and just in time with the holidays right around the corner. This instantly available course was created by Jen Wagner, and is available through Jeanne Oliver. You may remember a course I taught with Jeanne and other friends all about the Art of Home. One thing I know for sure, is that the course Jeanne provides on her website are from the most thoughtful, creative and genuine women, who truly want to inspire and help others create! It’s a beautiful network of artists, and this course happens to be particularly close to home. There is nothing I love doing more than creating tablescapes, but trust me, I know for some the thought of it is daunting, or perhaps even un-inspiring. The good news is it doesn’t have to be that way! Whether you’ve dabbled in it before, are completely new to the concept, or love creating inviting tables for your guests to come and sit at, I think you will love this course.
I gave our room a mini-makeover! Let me just tell you how this mini-makeover process started. We are freshening up our curated collection over at Painted Fox, and I can’t wait to share with you all the details on that, but in that process I stumbled across this gorgeous headboard. Insert wheels turning! Like I loved this headboard so much, I was dreaming about it. I loved that it had a vintage vibe with the slightly aged wood trim, and I loved the neutral linen upholstery. So much so, a vision was born! And that was the end of that, lol.
Do I have an exciting surprise for you! If you follow me on Instagram than I hinted to it last week when I shared a picture of our bedroom, but I have changed things up! Today I am joining my friends kicking off the Christmas part of our Farmhouse Holiday Series, by sharing our bedroom decorated for Christmas with Birch Lance. But I also gave our room a little mini-makeover in the process!
I can’t believe we only have 2 more weeks left of October. This year is starting to come to an end, but honestly it’s my favorite time of the year. I have been brainstorming some new design ideas for this years Christmas decor, a whole new color palette, and I honestly am equally nervous and excited to share it! Only nervous because I hope I can find everything I need for it. However before we can start on that I wanted to share …
I had a completely different post planned for today, but when Facebook pops up in your feed with a memory from 5 years ago, I knew I wanted to share that instead. Not because I want to boast on how far I’ve come, but it’s important to look back on where we have come from. To take a moment and soak in the hard work and time we’ve invested to get to where we are today. You’ve heard the expression “Rome wasn’t built in a day” and I think the same is definitely true in blogging. I’ve shared my thoughts about comparison HERE, and nothing can wreck you more in the blogging industry than comparing yourself to someone else’s accomplishments. I think it’s so important that we take a moment, and stop to look back and see just how far we’ve come. Not only does it help give us a sense of accomplishment, but it propels us into moving forward with fresh motivation.
