Sharing my red, white, and blue Patriotic Dish Pantry Organization today for an easy organization project to do in the kitchen.

Patriotic Dish Pantry Organization

I have so many red, white, and blue dishes so I thought it would be fun to organize them by color. This patriotic dish pantry organization project was definitely more work than I had expected and I was wondering what the heck I was thinking after I started! At first, I did it with all the colors mixed together and I didn’t like it very much. I have a lot more blue and white dishes than red dishes and there was not enough red to balance it out. I then moved all the red to the middle and did white and blue above and below with more white on the top shelf.

Dish Collecting

I have been collecting dishes since my early twenties and I’ve accumulated some really beautiful pieces over the years. One of my favorites are polish

Fourth of July Party Tablescape Ideas

The Fourth of July is my favorite holiday besides Christmas. I absolutely love decorating with red, white, and blue and celebrating with friends and family. I’m sharing my Fourth of July Party Tablescape Ideas and all the details of how I set it all up.

I actually set up and photographed two different versions of this table because I was asked to be on a local TV station to share my scones and honey butter recipe and a patriotic tablescape. We taped the show three weeks before so I had to create it twice! I’m sharing all the photos of both set ups so you can see a few different variations here.

I am very patriotic and my country means a great deal to me. I have always

The Highland, Utah House – Sources

My Highland, Utah House – Sources

I get so many questions about all the finishes and furnishings in our Highland, Utah home so I’m finally sharing the details here! In this post I will list all the information that I have on the home. Many of the furnishings are no longer available but when I can link a source for something similar I will share that info or another option at the bottom of the post.

The Story Behind the Home

We purchased the home from Rachel and Drew Parcell in July of 2016. Rachel is a fashion blogger and I had started following her on Instagram just before we bought the house. When I first saw one of her posts showing her house, I had thought it was a house I had seen in another Utah neighborhood years before called Stonegate. I even had pictures in my phone of this other home and didn’t realize they were different

Transitional + French Country Master Bedroom

Every Spring I like to do a little update to our master bedroom so I set out to create a transitional + french country master bedroom vibe. I love the new updates to our bedroom in the Highland house and how simple it was to give it a fresh look. The main color in the bedroom before was a sea salt blue and I wanted to change it to more of a french blue color.

Here is the before:

Here is the after:

I wanted a rug that was a little bigger. This size is a 9′ x 13′ which is the perfect size for my master bedroom.

Mother’s Day Luncheon | Hosting Your Mom For Mother’s Day

Hosting a Mother’s Day Luncheon is a great way to honor and show our love to the mothers and women who make our world a better place.

I wanted to gather the women in my life who have inspired or uplifted me and what better way to do that then hosting a Mother’s Day luncheon.

For the decorations, I went with a pastel color palette and set three different tables and a separate dessert table.

The Pink and White Table

For the Pink Table, I used fresh eucalyptus and pink spray roses to create the garland and centerpiece. I layered the garland on top of a white table runner. I typically use this table outdoors in the summer but it works great for the indoors too.

For the Pink Place-setting, I used pink and white dishes, a pink napkin, silver flatware, and glass goblets.

A pastel mix of teal and lavender that will bring you right into Easter and Spring. Sharing a spring tablescape you don’t want to miss.

Lavender and Teal Spring Tablescape

I’m sharing all the details of this beautiful Lavender and Teal Spring Tablescape that I set for Sunday dinner a few weeks ago. The darker purple and teal colored flowers were the inspiration behind this tablescape. I love mixing and matching dishes to come up with new place settings and this tablescape came together so beautifully.

The Place-setting

For the place setting on this spring tablescape, I mixed and matched different sets of dishes I already had. I started with a charger, then layered a dinner and salad plate on top. When I set a table, I think about what I’ll be serving for the dinner and that’s how I decide on how many dishes to use in the place

Create a Flower Arrangement with Faux Flowers

Take any type of a vase, pitcher, or ginger jar and add some pretty faux flowers. Faux flowers last forever and arranging them yourself adds a special touch. Here are a few of my favorite vases and containers to use with faux flowers.

Plant some Spring Flowers in an Indoor or Outdoor Container

Another fun idea is to repurpose an old container or buy a new one and plant some flowers or succulents in it. Above all, it’s a gift that will last for awhile.

A Beautiful + Organized Master Closet

A Beautiful + Organized Master Closet

I have never shared the details of my closet and so many have asked to see more of it, so here it is! I love having a beautiful + organized master closet. I am lucky enough to have this all to myself since my husband has his own closet. I’ll also share the closet inside the closet! This is one of my favorite design features.

Some of the features I love about the closet are the size. It has plenty of room for everything you can imagine. There is plenty of drawer space in the island and a built in dresser in between the hanging sections.

This definitely makes it easier to store things and keep eventing organized. I also like how much space there is to hang everything. There is plenty of space for long and short hanging items.
