Spring Thyme | Recipes & Style Blog Hop

March 21, 2017

Spring is one of my favorite seasons. The weather is getting warmer, flowers are blooming and it’s almost time for picnics in the park and long evening walks. The coming of spring is such a mood booster for me and I’m just giddy that it is staying light outside until almost 9:00 o’clock.

Now that spring is here, I’m starting to see lots of spring blog tours popping up on the web. I don’t do much in the way of decorating for spring but I do love creating pretty seasonal tablescapes. And it just so happens that my friend Tamyra with Positively Southern is hosting a fun ‘Spring Thyme Recipe & Style’ blog hop and invited me join the fun.

There are a total of 9 bloggers on this tour and today is just part one of the blog hop. We’ll all be back next Tuesday (3/28) to share more spring style and recipe inspiration so mark your calendars.

If you’re coming over from Clutter Cafe, welcome. Lisa is one talented (and sweet) lady and a hard act to follow.

Whenever I plan a seasonal tablescape, I look for something to inspire the theme. Can you guess what my inspiration was for my spring Easter table? Rabbits of course! I spotted the rabbit beverage pitcher at HomeGoods and immediately knew I wanted to use it as a flower vase. #unexpecteddecor

Once I had the pitcher home, my color palette of green, pink and white fell into place and I went on the hunt for a green and white table runner. #fail.

After searching a few stores without any luck, I decided to make my own using inexpensive cotton fabric. The fabric is a soft green color with an all-over white lattice pattern. It’s exactly the design I wanted for my tablescape. Once I cut the fabric to size I used iron-on hem tape to finish the edges and had my runner done in about 10 minutes. And it cost me less than $10 to make the runner and 6 napkins. #score

Flowers are always part of any tablescape I create so I surrounded the bunny pitcher with a mix of floral styles and colors. I combined hot pink orchids, white anemone, green hydrangea and pink peonies. The flowers are cascaded down the center of the table and add so much dimension to the centerpiece. Once I had the flowers in place, I tucked a few ceramic bunnies amongst the flowers to bring my Easter theme to life.

I opted not to use traditional placards on my table and instead did some hand-lettering on ombre tags I picked up at Michaels.

Did you notice the floral placemats under each place setting? Well it’s actually scrapbook paper I had in my craft stash. Scrapbook paper is the perfect size for a placemat and the floral pattern and colors worked great with my table decor.

Whenever you build a tablescape you should create layers with your decor. I used the mini cake stands to add height and placed a small dip bowl on top filled with chocolate eggs for added color.

The white dinner plates are my mom and dad’s wedding china and I love the pretty etched floral design around the edge. It coordinates perfectly with my paper placemats. The black and white place plates are from C. Wonder which is no longer in business. #imissthatstore

And if you hadn’t already guessed it, all the flowers except the tulips are silk.

Now that I’ve created my Easter table, I’m pretty sure the Easter bunny will be dropping off an Easter basket at my front door.

I hope my Spring Thyme tablescape has inspired you to add a little spring happy around your house. For more spring cheer, hop (no pun intended) over to Totally Tailgates and check out Heather’s spring inspiration.

Spotted At HomeGoods for Spring

March 26, 2015

It’s been a while since I’ve been to HomeGoods. It usually takes them a good month + to restock their stores after Christmas so I usually wait until mid February or March to see what’s new for spring. I’m fortunate that there are four HomeGoods within a 10-15 minute drive from my house. Having been to all of the store many times, I’ve learned which ones get the most stock and have the best inventory.

A couple of days ago I popped into two HomeGoods stores. The first store was lean on merchandise but they did one great piece that stopped me in my tracks.

This small acrylic table was just gorgeous and I imagined how great it would look as a side table, or bar cart. I was surprised to see it in the store but at $99.00 I think the price stopped a lot of people in their tracks. (update: I posted this table on Instagram and like me it was a hit. I went back to get the style number for someone and unfortunately it sold the evening that I saw it)

The other HomeGoods I went to is my favorite. The shelves are usually filled to the max and they always have a great selection of furniture. Here’s a look at what I spotted…

These marble top nesting tables were stunning. I love the two-tone marble combined with the chrome base. I’d pair these with a pair of leather chairs to create a stylish seating area.

This rustic wood media console was well made and the wood tone was really nice. This would be an easy piece to mix with modern or eclectic decor.

The color of the year, Marsala is well represented in HomeGoods and I spotted it in this sleek desk/console table. The gold x-legs and crystal knobs just add to the style of this piece.

There were lots of fret work pieces in the store. I’ve seen this mirrored chest of drawers before and still love it. It would make the perfect night stand.

Finding oversized coffee table can be a challenge sometimes. This wood beauty had great lines and a nice finish. The glass top and bottom would add an airy feel to a living space.

HomeGoods must be predicting this metal cross leg table a winner because there were about 6 of them in the store. The height is ideal if someone is looking for a nightstand with minimal details. I think it would also look great in a bathroom holding towels and personal care items.

There were lots of small side tables to choose from in varying styles, shapes and finishes.

This round brass and marble table was my favorite.

Spring is garden stool season at HomeGoods and they continue to bring in updated styles in great colors. Blue is definitely a trending color for spring and they has several styles to choose from.

I loved this green stool and really considered buying it.

This orange table/stool was so cute and would make a fun accent table on a sun porch or in a kids room.

There were lots of chairs in the store but this is the only one that really caught my attention. I love the detail of plaid on the back.

HomeGoods has been carrying more and more headboards and this twin headboard was a winner. The orange piping was the perfect detail to dress up the neutral fabric. How cute would this be paired with that orange stool above.

If you’re in the market for an ottoman to put at the foot of the bed or use as a coffee table, now is the time to shop. Most of the ottomans were storage ottoman too which gives you more bang for your buck.

The pillow shelves were overflowing.

If I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again…you can’t beat the lamps at HomeGoods.

The store I was in had a great selection of bold brass lamps

and some really great decorative styles in ceramic and metal. These striped lamps were killer!

And if you’ve gotta entertaining on the calendar for spring, be sure to check out the housewares section for beautiful plates, bowls and serving pieces like the lemon plate at the top.

So, have you spotted anything great at HomeGoods for spring? #homegoodshappy

TWO Easy Ways to Infuse Your Home With Spring Style

March 16, 2015

Only four more days until spring. I am super excited about warmer temps and being able to spend more time outdoors. We got a dose of spring this weekend here in Atlanta and it was heavenly. The sun was shining, the trees are flowering and the daffodils are in full bloom. The only downside of spring’s arrival is the pollen that will be attacking us in the next couple of weeks.
