Easter Brunch
Okay, so I’m a little delayed. But I’ve been out of town. Do I get some leeway? I’ll work on it! Here are some shots of our Easter table. We had my husband’s parents and sister over for brunch. The base was a plain white tablecloth and then added touches to it. First, two vases […]

Decor is changing like a whirlwind around here. St. Patty’s Day – out – and Easter – in! Without further ado, here’s the do… Let’s start with the mantle. Yes, switching it up! I had some glittery eggs in my stock pile of Easter decor. I just put those in a cute yellow bowl. Then […]
Quick Centerpiece
Just a quick post to remind you to use what you have for a quick centerpiece. We had a small informal dinner at the house recently and I wanted a quick, easy centerpiece (without running to the store for flowers). I had these ceramic leaf dishes that I thought would work well. Then I got […]
St. Patty’s Day Decor
Happy Belated St. Patty’s Day from an Irishwoman. For reals. Can you say McCue? Yep, maiden name my friends. So pre-married with kids, I celebrated like no one’s business. But this year we just hung around the house. I did up a little decor (you knew I would!) for the occasion, however. First I laid […]
Read moreA Good Read
I just finished reading The Perfectly Imperfect Home by Deborah Needleman. I got my copy from the library. There was a waiting list, but it was worth it. I have long been a fan of hers – she was editor in chief of Domino magazine. The book has some great info and tips for the […]
Room to Breathe
Something I’ve wanted to do since almost the first day we moved in here has been accomplished! I finally changed out the HUGE mirror above our fireplace for something more suitable. I just didn’t like how big it was. It made for a challenge in decorating the mantle. You don’t always want everything to be […]
Happy Valentine’s Day!
You knew I would decorate to celebrate, didn’t you 😉 ? Well, you were right! I didn’t do much, just changed out the table centerpiece, added a little something to the fireplace mantle and ended up doing a little on our outside gate too. Part of the reason I don’t go all out on the […]
Read moreThe Big Game Super Decor
We had a few people over to watch the big game on Sunday. My hubby started this years ago at his place and we’ve continued at ours. It is a kid-friendly event, so I try to keep that in mind with food and decor. Again, I stuck with my “less is more” approach and embellished […]
Read moreA Few Post-Holiday Changes
The holidays are over. That means the Christmas and New Year’s centerpieces are out. A “winter” centerpiece has taken its place. Again, I’m about the simplicity. You can read about why that is here. This particular concoction isn’t new per se; it’s the same from last year. I guess it might end up being kind […]
Read moreNew Year’s Day Centerpiece
We had my in-laws over on New Year’s Day for a post-Christmas celebration. It was great to see them and once again our Little Mister was spoiled 🙂 The holidays kept going and going for him this year! Of course I had to dress up the table a bit. Again, I strayed away from candles […]
