Easter Brunch
Well, again, delayed. But here is the recap of the Easter brunch we hosted. I bought WAY TOO MUCH candy (we still have some!). It was a nice day – we even had an egg hunt outside (last year it was inside due to the weather). One of the reasons I decided to post this […]
Burlap and More!
I didn’t do a lot this year in terms of decorating for Chrstmas. I focused on the mantle, the dining table and the tree. Most of the time the dining centerpiece was this: It was a trifle bowl with ornaments. Snowflakes went around the sides, then ball ornaments of different sizes went inside topped with […]

Sometimes I get restless and need a change so…I switched up the dining centerpiece. Adds some new energy.
Read moreThankful for Flowers and Inspiration
Well the holidays came and went and so I thought I should do some catching up with centerpieces. This year for both Thanksgiving and Christmas I found inspiration online and then did my own take. We’ll start with the Thanksgiving centerpiece. Inspiration photo from Martha Stewart: I ended up creating something similar: I just started […]
It’s a Floater…the Good Kind
Even though Christmas is long gone, I was remembering that I was going to post our centerpiece for you all. It was very simple and easy. Which was good because I was busy doing some other things that day! And it did surprise me how guests were very intrigued. So it had that going for […]
Party Time on the 4th
Well, I showed you my pre-party 4th of July decor, and now I’m going to show you some of the embellishments I added on the actual day. It was hot as h#ll that day – 100 degrees – so most of the party was inside except for the brave that sweated it out under the […]

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 […]
The 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 […]
