Your Guide For Stylish Living
Happy Friday!
We’ll I’ve finished going through the hundreds of pictures I took in Washington DC and have decided to break my blog post into two parts. Today I’m going to share the beautiful Cherry Blossoms that graced the city and next week I’ll be back with the highlight of the attractions and places I visited and a really cool thing that happened while I was there.
Enjoy part one of my adventure!

Hello there! I’m back from my trip to DC and getting back in the swing of work and blogging. My trip was absolutely amazing and I can’t wait to share the photos with you. While I’m sorting through photos and doing laundry, I thought I’d bring you a few quick and easy Easter décor ideas since the big day is this Sunday.
I don’t do much decorating for Easter but I do like to have a touch of the holiday on my dining table. Ideas like these are super easy and quick to pull together and will definitely welcome Easter morning in style.
Paint, stickers or a little decoupage work and you can create a fun assortment of designer Easter eggs. I love the idea of creating a mix that matches your décor and not a traditional mix of pastels.
If you’re hosting Easter breakfast or dinner, this is an easy way to decorate the table. Use your paper shredder to create a bundle of paper that can be formed into the shape of a nest and then add a letter sticker to the outside of a plastic Easter egg. Cute and simple.
Looking for an Easter centerpiece idea? How about combining glass candlesticks, paper flowers and plastic eggs to create these cute Easter egg flowers.
Tip: If you don’t already own clear glass candlesticks, head to Dollar General where you’ll find different styles and sizes.
I started collecting mis-matched egg cups and thing this would be a really great way to put them to use. Use decorative craft scissors to scallop the edge of cupcake liners to get the look of flower petals.
Flowers are a must for Easter and the simple addition of plastic eggs to line the vase or container will turn your stems into a pretty Easter arrangement. What’s also great about this is that come Monday all you have to do is remove the eggs and enjoy the flowers for the rest of the week.
And since I love cloches so much, this décor idea is right up my alley.
Tip: If you can’t find nest at this late date, create a nest with twig branches you pick from the yard or buy at the craft store.
When it comes to last-minute holiday decorating, I love ideas that are quick, easy and yield beautiful results.
I’ll be back tomorrow to share the highlights of my DC trip and to show you my Easter tablescape.
I almost always accent my gift with ribbon and 9 times out of 10 I add a ribbon bow. That’s it until I got crafty and made my own paper bow.
Now I’m loving the idea of wrapping all my gifts with handmade paper bows.

Good day to you all. I’m thrilled to see the sun out today and can’t believe that after all the snow and cold we’ve had it’s going to be 70 degrees on Friday. Madness I tell you. I am so ready for spring and nothing puts me in the mood for warmer weather more than the idea of ENTERTAINING…spring style!
I’ve been looking for new entertaining/party inspiration and came across some awesome ideas that I knew I had to share with you. And to make todays post even more thrilling, I thought I’d also share a few entertaining tips to keep in mind for your next big shin-dig!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Well almost! I can’t believe how fast 2013 has flown by but I’m excited about welcoming a new year, new opportunities, new experiences and new friendships! I can tell already that 2014 is going to be stellar year and I can’t wait until the stock of midnight to celebrate!
I typically don’t decorate much if at all for New Years Eve but this year I thought I’d do a little something to welcome the year. I’ve rounded up a few easy DIY ideas that I’m considering and wanted to share them with you in case you want to add a little celebration to your celebration.
This table-cloth is out of this world gorgeous and calls for a big party. Since that’s not happening in my home, I’m liking the idea of a couple pennant and circle garlands to celebrate under. Not only would this be a quick and easy project but it’s something that can be used year after year.
A celebration is not a celebration unless cupcakes are involved. These fun tinsel toppers would be a great way to add a little cheer to the holiday treat.
I love the idea of turning tin containers into new years party packages by adding a paper clock face to the top. These little cans could hold treats or wishes for the new year.
One of my favorite party décor items is paper medallions. Using a black, silver and gold color combo along with the addition of paper clock faces turns these into fun new years party décor.

Wow. Who’s up for adding a little glitter to your champagne bottle. I love the idea but wouldn’t want to open such a pretty bottle.
Another fun and simple new years garland can be created using paper stars. Run them through the sewing machine to create lengths of festive stars and you’ll be able to welcome the new year under the stars, literally!
I’m definitely going to be changing up my chalkboard to show a New Years message. And, I’m going to try my hand at something fancy like this.
So what are you plans for new years and how will you be decorating to welcome 2014?
p.s. I’m taking the rest of the year off from blogging and will be back on New Year’s Day with some thoughts and insights on new years resolutions!
Tick, Tock…even though there may be a shortage of time between now and Christmas, there’s still time to pull together some fabulous décor ideas for your holiday table.
No. 1 — Use stemware, extra ornaments and paper tags to create fun and easy place markers for the table.

No. 2– Gather together greens from the yard or pick some up free at your local hardware store and create a bold statement for each chair at the table.
No.3 –Bring the lanterns in from outdoors create a dynamic centerpiece grouping. Add greenery and pinecones for a seasonal touch.
No. 4 –On your evening walk tonight, gather some pinecone and then spray paint them gold. Add a name card and a unique placecard marker.
No. 5 –Pull a few packages from under the tree and set them on top of candlesticks for a fun and whimsical centerpiece. Take down will be a breeze!
Here’s hoping all your last-minute holiday task are getting checked off the list.
