Monday Inspiration

School started today for my girls and this mom wasn't quite ready.  I think as your kids get older, time seems to go by so much faster!  This year I have a senior (gasp) and a 2nd grader and I need time to slow down...way down!!  If you have school aged kiddos, I hope they have a great year!  Are you in the boo-hoo or woo-hoo category this year?  I am in the boo-hoo for sure!

Speaking of time going by way too fast, fall is approaching and I am thrilled about that!  I am not quite ready to break out the pumpkins and fall foliage just yet (since it is still very hot in Texas), but it is never too early to get inspired!

Spring Decor: {Bringing the Outdoors In}

I am so excited for spring! We are finally getting a dose of warmer temperatures here in Texas!  I am hoping we are done with winter and can move onto warmer days, sunny skies, blooming plants and lots of patio time!

 

Over the last few weeks, when I was stuck at home due to ice, I had a lot of time to decorate for the warmer season ahead!  I love using greenery and natural elements throughout my home to add interest to the neutral color scheme.  I do not have a green thumb, so I opted for a lot of faux ferns, rustic wood pieces and greenery sprigs.  I love bringing the outdoors in and creating a natural, serene environment.

 

My home is full of vintage pieces mixed in with newer items.  I love the look and adding pops of green through the plants was a good way to balance the vintage/industrial look in our entryway!

 

In our dining room, I added some faux fern sprigs to my bottle collection.  I love the pop of color the bright green adds!

 

  

In our living room, I used a potted fern (faux) to bring in a touch of color to this space!  The branch adds some nice texture to finish off the look.

 

I plan on tackling the patio and front porch within the next few weeks! What about you?  Have you decorated for spring yet?

Hosting a Holiday Soiree {Sponsored by Tuesday Morning}

I am excited to once again be teaming up with Tuesday Morning today!  They asked me to share some ideas and tips on hosting a holiday soiree and you can check out my post by clicking HERE!

Here is a sneak peek of what you will see over there!

Can we just talk about all these fun items! One shopping trip to Tuesday Morning was all I needed for the perfect tablescape!  The 3 tier stand was one of my favorite Tuesday Morning finds at just $49.99, compared to $89.99 at other retailers.  It is always nice to find versatile items that can be used in several different ways!

When I came across the burlap table runner, it immediately went into my cart.  Even though it is perfect with this table setting, it will also work in a variety of settings! You can never go wrong with burlap!

I also love their selection of pretty paper goods.  The napkins were perfect with my color scheme and at just $1.99, compared to $6 elsewhere, they were in inexpensive way to add a pretty pattern with a functional item!

So there is a sneak peek...now go check out their BLOG by clicking here!
