2014 Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts for Him & Her

Happy Friday!

I love the holiday season and part of what makes it so enjoyable for me is shopping for the perfect gift for friends and family.

Buying gifts for the men in my life can be tough and finding the prefect present for my female friends and family can be an even bigger challenge.

So after lots of shopping, in-person and online, I’ve pulled together a gift guide that will make shopping for you  {and me} easier this season!

Happy Shopping!

Enjoy the day and I’ll see you back here tomorrow!  Yikes…I can’t believe it’s November already!

Faux Fur for Fall–Decorating for the Senses

faux fur pillow stack

I read a lot of design blogs and follow many bloggers on instagram and pinterest and I know that all of them, along with me,  are in the midst transitioning their home decor from summer to fall.

When it comes to decorating for fall, I often accessorize tabletops and my dining table with natural elements like leaves and pinecones and I usually decorate my front door with a fall arrangement.  But, mother nature is not my favorite design element when decorating for fall.  It’s faux fur!

Getting Creative with Wallternatives

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  The hubs and I spent the weekend in Alabama at his high school reunion.  He had a great time seeing and catching up with people he hadn’t seen in years.  I also had a great time hearing stories about him from his high school days and learning about all the tricks he played on his freinds.  I can definitely say that while he has gotten older, he still has the heart and spirit of a kid.

Anyway, I’ve been busy all day getting caught up on work, emails and projects so I’m hitting the send button on this post a bit late.

Today I wanted to share a fun little project I created using Wallternatives wall decals.  During the Haven conference in July,  I got a first hand look at Wallternatives wall decals and immediately my mind starting pondering all the ways I could decoratve with them.

Shopping In Unexpected Places

There are times when I go into a TJMaxx looking for something specific and then there are times when I go in just to check things out.

The times when I’m just wandering to see what’s new is when I usually discovered something great.

Yesterday I popped into the store to wander (really I was looking for a pair of shoes) and as normally happens, I made my way over to the handbag section.

Up and down the rows I went, finding nothing that struck my fancy when all of a sudden something in the cosmetic/personal care area caught my attention.

It was black and white, a no fail color combo and it looked cute from a distance.

As I walked up on it and reached out to touch it, I felt softness.

The piece really had my attention now.  I immediately turned the piece over to inspect the other side, then the top and then the bottom.

I was liking what I was seeing.

I flipped the tag over to look at the price and smiled to myself.

It was $12.99, black and white and really cute.

Decorating for Free: Sources for FREE Art

Oh-yes-Free

Don’t you love when you can decorate for FREE?  I certainly do.  Sometimes free stuff comes knocking at your door and sometimes you have to go looking for it.

Recently I was in need of some botanical artwork but I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on it.  I thought about going to used book store and seeing if I could find a discounted book that I could cut images from.  I also thought about hitting up some local thrift stores to see if I could find any quality pieces.  And then I decided to do a google search and one thing lead to another.

After searching several online shops, I took a chance and typed in free botanical art just on the off-chance that something great might pop up.  Low and behold something fabulous happened.
