I love hosting parties and dinners. I love getting ready for them and creating special little details. I love my friends and family so, so much, and I’d really like to be able to say that all those little details are for them and for them only… but that wouldn’t be completely true. Creating the […]
The world’s easiest Glue-Gun table runner.
Yep. Seriously the easiest table runner ever. Step 1. Find two long scraps of fabric. Match up the pattern and hot glue a seam. You could use fusible webbing too, but then you’d have to find your iron. (Seriously, if the wrinkles don’t come out with a spritz of water and a quick tumble in […]
Using garlic in your Halloween decor – keep your pantry stocked AND keep vampires away.
Garlic was on my shopping list. While shopping I noticed it was on sale, 3 for $1. We love garlic and use it a lot. You know who doesn’t like garlic? Vampires. So I stocked up and incorporated it into my Halloween decor. I had an apothecary jar that was holding big cinnamon sticks. I took […]
Halloween Adirondack Chairs
Like everything else around here, I spray paint my cheap, plastic, fake Adirondack chairs different colors based on the seasons. They’ve been eleventy billion different colors. This turquoise was my color of choice for the summer. Now that fall (and more specifically) Halloween is upon us, I wanted a change. Last year I painted them […]

My 3 favorite words: “You Were Right” (the great media cabinet victory.)
OK. I forgot to show you something that I did last summer. And I’m really surprised I didn’t show you this earlier, because it was one of those decorating things that my husband told me I couldn’t do…. but I bugged him and bugged him until finally decided that this was not the hill he […]

Red coral is all over the place these days. Last week I made some faux coral using a basic dough of salt and flour. While I was doing that, I also made up a few pieces to make it look like red coral. So here is a fun DIY for fake red coral you can […]
Faux Coral (“daux” coral… same difference.) How to make coral out of dough.
Making faux coral using salt dough. I love the look of summer décor using coral and shells. I love the faux versions that Pottery Barn and Crate and Barrel carry, but I am not willing to shell out that kind of […]
Easy floral arrangement using fruit & flowers.
A few days ago I posted my Mother’s Day Brunch wrap up and told you I’d be back with the simple way to make this centerpiece using store bought fruit and roses from my yard. As promised: Gather your supplies. In this case, roses and hydrangeas from my yard, an empty olive jar, a glass […]
Mother’s Day Wrap-up. No pictures of people, but pictures of Pom-Poms. Duh.
I just washed and put away the last champagne flute from our annual Mother’s Day Brunch. This is the 5th one we’ve hosted, and each time it gets a little easier to put together. I change the theme and/or color scheme each year. I was going to do this turquoise and apple green, with pops […]
