Spooky porch decor and a Halloween Chair.

October 14, 2018 20 Comments

Black chair, Halloween porch decor, diy Halloween project ideas

I love Halloween and it’s always fun to create spooky little vignettes around the house during the month of October. I am not a gory/scary Halloween person, but I describe my decorating as “Poe Inspired” instead.  Kind of creepy but not overtly scary… ravens, black and white color palettes with a small pop of color, […]

How to use an indoor chandelier outside.

May 20, 2018 27 Comments

With the unofficial start of summer just around the corner, we all tend to want to spend more time outdoors. Summer dinners spent on the patio are better when you can see what you’re eating, right?  What happens if you want to have an outdoor chandelier but don’t have ceiling to hard wire it to? […]

Simple, winter themed decor. (Using what you already have, of course.)

January 4, 2018 18 Comments

I’ve previously shared some of my tricks and tips for organizing my Christmas decor  (hint: store it by color!) But just because I have un-decorated Christmas does not mean that I am ready to start dragging out the Valentine’s decor or spring anything.  It’s still winter, people! So how do I decorate with a winter […]

Once Halloween is over, you can paint your real pumpkins and add a touch of bling to create elegant pumpkins for Thanksgiving. Why toss all of those orange pumpkins? Add a little paint, ribbon and some sparkle to create something beautiful.

November 21, 2016 18 Comments

I love any opportunity to entertain family and friends, and I especially love being able to create a beautiful space on our patio in order to host dinners and brunches.

Christmas Home Tour: Red and Black holiday decor.

December 19, 2015 1 Comment

OK, so I am a little bit bugged.  For the first time in forever, my Christmas decor does not look the way I saw it in my head.  Don’t get me wrong, I am still very happy with it, but it just isn’t exactly how I wanted it.  Last January I received a swag bag […]

Fall comforts of home… they are important even if you’re far away.

November 2, 2015 Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Marie Callender’s. The opinions and text are all mine.​ When I think about the phrase “the comforts of home” the word that comes to mind is cozy and the mental image I have is of crisp and cool fall evenings at home. There are […]
