Weekend Wrap-Up: Vol. 3

March 17, 2018

Happy weekend! After a week of pretty cold temperatures, the weekend is shaping up to be pretty nice here with highs in the 70’s. I’m hoping that this warm-up doesn’t mean we are just going to skip spring and move right into summer. Either way, I’ll take whatever sunshine I can get.

I’m heading out to do a some spring shopping this morning and then I’m hoping to get a few projects underway around the house. One of the projects I’m working on is a spring tablescape that I’ll be sharing with you next week. Whatever you have in store for the weekend, make it a good one!

* WEEKEND WRAP-UP *

I love when I discover a new Instagram account that has me scrolling for hours. Kirby & Company did just that. Elaine’s feed is filled with beautiful and colorful images. You can shop her online shop here. So many goodies!

Great tips for how to make fake flowers look real.

I’m excited to add this new design book to my collection. The release date is Sept. 4th but you can pre-order your copy here.

This is such an easy drawer organizing DIY.

Have you checked out Target’s new outdoor furniture collection. It’s so good. I’m really loving this chair.

I’m kind of crushing on this crossbody bag from Zara. And it’s my favorite color.

Are you an avid podcast listener? It seems to the be chic thing to do these days. I’ve starting listening to a few podcast while I work and there are three so far that I’d highly recommend: Blogging Your Passion. Women Inspiring Women and Goal Digger.

Excited about the new Pottery Barn and Lily Pulitzer collaboration.

I love the palm leaf trend that is so popular right now and I love this pillow. Oh, and check out Dolce & Gabbana’s Fall/Winter Botanical Garden collection.

This wall shelf would look great in a kitchen or in a bathroom. It pays to shop where the teenagers do.

I’m so happy to find malachite decor at an affordable price. You could buy this malachite dish and use it as a coaster.

Not 10, but ELEVEN Home Decor Products I’m Loving In The New Year

January 7, 2016

In about a week I’ll be heading to AmericasMart for the Atlanta Gift and Home Furnishings show where I’ll be checking out the new products that manufacturers are introducing to the market. I always love the January because it’s refreshing to see the talked about trends come to life and because it’s a nice departure from all the glitz and sparkle of Christmas.

As the market approaches, I’ve also started getting new catalogs in the mail from all the major online and retail furniture and home decor stores. I spent a little time the other night flipping through them and wanted to share 11 home decor products I’m loving right now.

Pottery Barn

Explosion Chandelier–a beautiful statement piece

Talia Printed Rug–Gray–I love the subtle pattern and soft colors

Damask Print Pillow Cover–a fun, energetic pattern for late spring, early summer

West Elm

Organic Fading Ikat Duvet Cover–I love the abstract design and the classic navy and white color combo

Mongolian Lamp Pouf–A fun accent in a room and the blush color is my fave

Rectangular Metal Curtain Rings–SO awesome! (if you can find a shower curtain rod less than 1 7/5″ w you could use them for that too)

Ballard Design

Mei Pagoda Shelf–a pretty shelf for a vanity counter or even in a chic kitchen

Livy File Box–very cool and a great way to show off those decorative file folders that are so hot now

Tortoise Umbrella Stand–tortoise never goes out of style (kinda like an animal print)

Felicity Acrylic Coffee Table–the ideal piece to keep a room looking light and airy

Z Gallerie

Gilded Sapphire Art–I’m kinda crushing on navy these days and this piece could easily mix with other colors

So many amazing new items and it’s only January.

The Look For Less–Monogram Christmas Ornament

November 17, 2015

via

It’s beginning to look a bit like Christmas around my house. I’ve pulled the Christmas pillows out, started decorating here and there and will get my tree set up and decorated this weekend. If you’ve read my blog for a while you know that I change my tree theme each year. A majority of the decorations are pieces that I already own but a few new pieces get added each year.

Two of the key components on my tree will be monogrammed ornaments and lots of red which was partly inspired by the tree decor above.

Last year I purchased a few of these beautiful blown glass alphabet ornaments from Pottery Barn at $7.50 each and had plans to add a few more to my collection.

But yesterday I stumbled across the almost identical monogram ornament at JoAnn’s on sale for $3.99. While the details aren’t exactly the same, these ornaments will still give me the look and feel I want the tree to have.

I’ll be sharing my completed Christmas tree decor with you on Dec. 2nd as part of a blogger holiday home tour I’m participating in so stayed turned.

p.s. In case you like the idea of monogram ornaments on your tree, I’ve rounded up a few of my favorites to share with you.

Kirklands—Chalkboard Monogram Ornament $6.99 / Zazzle–Personalized Monogram Keepsake Ornament $24.50 / Zazzle—Ceramic Holly Monogram Ornament $18.95

Anthropologie—Woodshop Monogram Ornament $ 9.00 / PB Kids––Glitter Alphabet Ornament $3.00 / West Elm—Beaded Letter Ornament $3.00

Gifting 101: A few gifts you should be buying NOW for Christmas

January 19, 2015

I’ve always tried to stay one step ahead when it comes to holiday gift giving. I usually take advantage of the after-Christmas sales and pick up a few gift items for the coming year. January is a great month to begin creating a gift list and checking out stores for sales. Several of my favorite stores have amazing clearance events going on right now and there are some fabulous items to be had. I’ve rounded up a few of my faves in case you want to get a jump on your 2015 holiday shopping.

******

Mark and Graham is one of my favorite online shops and when it comes to monogrammed accessories, they have some amazing items to choose from. All of their monogrammed items make great gifts for Christmas or any other gift giving occasion for that matter.

Gift shopping for men is always a challenge. This Leather Credit Card Case–($19.99) is a great buy and makes the perfect gift men {and women}. And if you have someone graduating this year, it’s a great grad gift too.

A classic like this Monogrammed Weekender–($119.99) is a gift that will last a lifetime.

Who wouldn’t love this Leather iPad Envelope–($59.00). Available in 9 colors.

I’m all about zippered pouches that I can fill with essentials and throw in a larger handbag–so many uses for an item like this. Striped Zip Pouches-($34.99-$35.00)

******

If I’m out shopping the day after Christmas, Pottery Barn is one of the stores I always go to. I love finding holiday ornaments, tabletop items and textiles on sale. Here are a few items that I think are worth adding to your gift closet.

How fun is this Globe Ice Bucket–($54.99). Because it has a chalkboard exterior it can be used for any occasion and when not in use as an ice bucket, I think it would make a pretty cute nut or candy bowl.

Luxury at a great price. Faux Oversized Mohair Throw ($39.99-$55.00)

These Alphabet Tags-($3.99) are just adorable and their classic design means you can use them now until Christmas. And don’t forget that tags like them can also be used a napkin rings, wine bottle tags or as holiday ornaments.

******

Crate and Barrel is also a store worth shopping after the holidays. Here are a few decorative items that are definitely worth buying.

If you’re looking for a unique gift for someone who loves to decorate I highly recommend these Brass Letter Art pieces. They are a great buy at $9.97 each and are available in letters and numbers.

January is a great month to pick up seasonal candles and these Branch Taper Candles are definitely a stylish steal. $2.97

Stocking up on wrapping paper after the holidays can save you a lot of money when Christmas rolls around next year. I love the elegant style and color of this Lacy Snowflake Wrapping Paper and love the price even more–$3.58!

When it comes to setting a holiday table, you can never go wrong with classic white dinnerware. This Nordic Plate ($2.47) is really pretty and has a design that will work from fall through Christmas.

******

There are lots of deals to be had right now when shopping the after Christmas sales so start making that list of checking it twice. Christmas is only 339 days away.

Happy Shopping!
