Decorating a Console Table for Fall

September 7, 2019

Do you have any of those tables you walk by everyday but hardly notice? I do. This is what my console table has looked like since June:

Kind of sad to admit but I just let it go for the summer. I am glad I felt like making something pretty yesterday and put in the effort. It looks so much better! I actually made it up two ways to see which I liked best. One with colorful faux branches:

And then I tried using the last of the summer flowers in the yard:Read More

Inspiring Ideas For Kitchen Counter Styling

August 3, 2019

Looking for a fresh look in your kitchen? Sometimes just mixing things up and rearranging items on the counters can make a huge difference:

via

Start by taking EVERYTHING off of your counter tops. Then add your appliances you need to keep out and then style it pretty!

via

Accessories such as chairs in a wood grain is a beautiful textural element in the kitchen especially if it is all-white kitchen. Also use wooden cutting boards in various shapes and sizes for a beautiful look:

via

And a simple tray works well corralling in your smaller items. I posted about kitchen decorating with trays here and here:

via

You can bring life into any kitchen by adding a potted plant or fresh flowers to your counter:

Or succulents:

via

Or a little herb garden:

via

My best tip when styling is to be sure not to add so much that the counter top looks cluttered. Love this simplicity, don’t you?:

via

It allows you to have room and space to spread things out to cook and work on.

Cookbooks can be a great way to bring a little bit of color into your kitchen too!

via

A collection of vases at varying heights is an easy and inexpensive way to make a statement. They look so nice with a mix of flowers in the kitchen, (and everywhere else too!)

via

Another great way to bring softness into the space along with window treatments is with pretty kitchen tea towels:

via

Hope this gave you a few inspirational ideas to use in your home. You spend a lot of time in the kitchen, make it beautiful for you!

And yes, I do use affiliate links at times and if you purchase anything, I make a little profit. A win-win for both of us!

Have a good weekend everyone!

Easy Decorating With Trays

May 4, 2019

Trays are my top accessory to grab when I am putting together an arrangement or centerpiece. Service trays are so versatile and can add both function and décor to any room. There is always a table top, kitchen counter or cocktail table that needs a tray to help make a table look more put together than if a few items had been placed randomly across the table:

So easy to put together:

I usually like to start with a tray, add a few books, a flower for height and something special to me:

Did You Know?

August 25, 2018

Thinking of decorating lately? Me neither. It is just that time of year when you can become overwhelmed with September right on our heels. September means back to school, working becomes a priority again, summer starts to wind down, weeknights out are not so easy to plan, etc. etc. So, I am not giving you much to think about today. Since the great response on my last ‘Did You Know’ series, I thought I would again share with you more hints and tips on a variety of subjects you may or may not know.

Did you know??

* This is the time of year when sunflowers are in bloom and abundant. Why don’t you make a beautiful table centerpiece with them? I think they are especially gorgeous when mixed with blue flowers:

Here are a couple arrangements I made from the flowers in my garden:Read More

I love using my blue and white chinoiserie jars to display flowers:

Especially all of the beautiful Spring flowers blooming now!:

Setting the Table for Easter

March 24, 2018

Do you experiment/play with your table setting before the company arrives? I love to put different place settings together until I find one I love. Here are a few I played with this week getting ready for guests coming for Easter dinner:

Because I like to use my colorful placemats and napkins, I usually end up using my plain white dinnerware:

Then I just play around with different napkins until I get the look I love:Read More
