How to Mix Valentines Day Decorations into your Winter Decor
This past holiday season I decorated our Highland, Utah house with different shades of green and ivory. When I was taking down all the Christmas decorations, I decided to leave up the more neutral decorations that would double as my winter decor. I always enjoy decorating for each season and I think Winter is often overlooked! When I think of Winter colors, I think of green, silver, white, and gold. Now that it’s time for Valentines Day, I decided to keep it simple and add in some pink decorations for valentines day. I’m excited to share with you how simple and easy it is to mix valentines day decor into your existing winter decorations.

The Tablescape
First and most importantly (at least to me) is the tablescape! If you’ve followed me for awhile, you’ll know how much I love creating a Tablescapes and Valentines is always one of my favorites because I get to use pink!

Below is the Winter

Pink and White Valentines Day Tablescape
If you are joining me from Vintage Society Co, welcome! I’m so happy you’re here for this Valentines Day Blog Hop!

Who doesn’t love a pink and white Valentines Day Tablescape? I know I do! I set this table for a little potluck luncheon I hosted for some friends to celebrate Valentines Day. After we ate, we all took turns sharing what we loved about each other. It was so much fun and everyone went away feeling loved and admired by the end of the lunch! We all need that once in awhile and what a better time to share your heart than Valentines Day.

The Place-setting
I found the pink dishes at Homegoods and after going to four different stores, I had enough for ten place-settings. My table seats ten so I had to find at least that many! I also found five of each of these wicker platelets and decided it would still work if I used two different ones that looked very similar. If you can’t find enough of one item in your

Fifty Shades of Gray Guest Room Reveal

Fifty Shade of Gray Guest Room Reveal
I’m so excited to finally be sharing another one of the bedrooms at the Highland, Utah house. I decided to title this post Fifty Shades of Gray Guest Room Reveal because there are so many different shades of gray and, it’s just like the Blue Room, which I shared earlier this year, in that there are many shades of blue. (Click here to see Fifty Shades of Blue Room Guest Room Reveal)

The Bedding
I layered the bedding by using dark gray sheets, a lighter gray blanket, and a white comforter. I like using a lot of throw pillows and throw blankets. I also used pillow shams that match the comforter. It gets cold here in Utah so I like using a lot of layers during the winter months and when it gets warmer in the summer, the comforter can be folded down. I also used a bed skirt on the bottom to cover up the bed frame.

My FAVORITE sheets and blankets to use are from Cozy Earth

Turning 50 and the List of 50 Awesome Things I did to Celebrate-Part One
I turned 50 just over a year ago and I decided to embrace the BIG 50 by making a list of 50 Awesome Things that I wanted to accomplish during the year. I finished the last of the 50 things on my 51st birthday on New Years Eve, 2019. I’m sharing the list of what I did and a little bit about each item on the list. This is a long post so I broke it up into two parts. I hope that those who come upon this post are inspired to live your best life and go outside your comfort zone. Many of the things on the list were fun and exciting, some were challenging, some were outside my comfort zone, and some were acts of service and helping others. Overall, it was one of the greatest experiences of my life and I’m so glad I stuck with it and pushed myself to do so many different things. The photos are not the best quality so my apologies for that in advance.
The List

I ended up with more than 50 things on the

Christmas Home Tour 2017 – Blue, Ivory, and Green Christmas
Welcome! Today I’m sharing all the decorations from our first Christmas at our Highland, Utah home. In our Christmas Home Tour 2017 – A Blue, Ivory, and Green Christmas, we share all the details below. We have a lot of blue in our decor so I used varying shades of blue, ivory, and green in my decor. All the sources I am able to link will be at the bottom of the post.
EntryWay

I filled a metal container with faux greens and flowers and added two wreaths to the front door.

We added a painted pine cone pick and blueberry picks to the wreaths, then added light blue ribbon tied in a bow. I hung the wreaths with silver command strip hooks. Once you attach the hooks, let them sit for about twenty minutes before you hang the wreath.

The Living Room Tree

We layered green cedar picks, faux blueberry picks, an white frosted hydrangeas and wired them together to go on the
