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

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.

Easter Tablescape with Mint Green and White Colors
Today I’m excited to share all the details of my latest Easter Tablescape with Mint Green and White Colors with you. I hope this tablescape inspires you to set your own beautiful table for Easter dinner. This tablescape can also work as a St. Patricks Day Tablescape by removing all the bunnies and it can also work for a Spring Tablescape too!

The Place-setting-Mint Green and White Dinnerware

When searching for dishes I found these white and mint green polka dot bowls and salad plates as well as the mint green dinner plates at HomeGoods. The mint green plates have been one of my most versatile sets of dishes. I also have the salad a plates and bowls from this set and it’s so fun mixing and matching the dishes for totally different looks.

Elegant Master Bathroom Spring Refresh

Home, Home Decor, Home Tour, My Home, Uncategorized ·

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your primary bathroom. See how I made a few simple changes to the master bathroom for a fresh new look.

Every so often I like to refresh my master bathroom and the perfect time to do so is spring.

One of the things I like about my master bathroom is that it’s very neutral so I can add in different colors to change things up.

I’ll share all the details here on how I refreshed my master bathroom for spring!

Refreshing the Towels

The first thing I like to do to refresh the bathroom is go through all my towels and washcloths. Anything that has stains on it or that are starting to look worn out or dingy goes into the cleaning rag bin.

I replace the old towels with new ones like these beautiful Turkish towels from The

Robins Egg Blue Easter Tablescape

Robins Egg Blue Easter Tablescape
I have always enjoyed setting a beautiful table for Easter and this Robins Egg Blue Easter Tablescape is is one of my favorites! I didn’t have enough of the bunny plates so I mixed and matched the polka dot and bunny plates so I would have enough for ten place-settings.

The Place-setting
For the place-setting, I decided to use these rustic hyacinth placemats because they brought out the brown trim color of the plates. I like layering the placemats, chargers, and plates but you don’t have to have multiple layers to create a beautiful tablescape.

If you don’t have enough of one place-setting for your table, you can mix and match whatever dishes you have. I found the polka dot and bunny plates at HomeGoods. I was only able to find five of each so I alternated the bunny and polka dot salad plates so I had enough place-settings.

I try to coordinate everything that I use in the place-setting. The napkin

How to Create a Versatile Winter Centerpiece Garland

Sharing how to create a beautiful winter centerpiece garland for a festive piece of your winter decorations.

How to Create a Versatile Winter Centerpiece Garland

Today I’m sharing how to create a versatile winter centerpiece garland for my dining table. This is the most versatile garland centerpiece and I’ve used it over and over again to create different Tablescapes for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Winter, and Valentines Day.

I created this garland centerpiece out of one faux cedar garland and then added different types of faux branches and picks into it. I added frosted eucalyptus and painted pine cone picks. All of this is laid on top of a table runner.

To store it and re-use it again, I cut up a large cardboard box and folded the sides up. I slide it onto the cardboard box using the table runner to help slide it and then wrap it in plastic. Doing it this way keeps it in tact and makes it easy to
