Simple, beautiful living.
The first impression in the side door is much different then when we first bought our house 15 years ago, the entry was an awkward space. I wish I had photos to show you! The side door opened over the stairs which was interesting when you are carrying small children and groceries. Inside the cramped space were two more doors (one to the sunroom &
Sometimes when I’m busy running last minute errands, cleaning or making the food I forget about decor for the tables. We usually have at least four different tables and I like to put a little something on all of them. I always have candles but it’s nice to have something else. Remember my free cuttings? Well if you leave them outside they stay fresh for
Super sweet and easy! I knit a little so I had some yarn on hand. I used a heavier yarn but any will do. I made a few poms in various sizes. I used these cool little tools I found at Hobby Lobby. It makes four sizes and if you use the 40% off coupon (either print it or get it on your phone) it’ll cost
I have the best holiday decor tip to share with you! I love decorating for Christmas, but I don’t like to spend a lot on decorations that you can’t use year to year. Are you ready?

If the pillow is 24″ x 18″ cut you would cut the front 25″
Flowers are the easiest way to make a room feel beautiful and welcoming. It’s even better when you can go out in the yard and cut some fresh. Whenever we plant something new I think about whether or not I can bring cuttings inside. Great to keep in mind when you are purchasing for your yard or garden. Lilacs provide some color for our back
As you can tell by my photo I didn’t quite make my goal of spending $20. Pumpkins (Farm stand) $4.50 Yellow stool (Estate sale) $4.00 Rug (Target) $13.42 Mum (Home Depot) $5.42 The rug was my inspiration for the colors I used. I moved pillows from my room (I changed the ones on my bed to my Winter pillows) and a throw along with one
Make your own easy DIY pillows. I love changing things around, switching out pillows is one of my favorite things to do. I went to my vintage fabric stash and found a sweet yellow print. You can purchase a similar fabric here. I made a third out of a shirt my husband had in the donation pile, cute gray and white stripe. I use the
