Transformation

I could have waited to share this cute little transformation for Monday at My Home. But I am just too impatient!

My mom found a pair of these adorable tree trunk side tables at Goodwill for $15. They had weird rectangular black glass tops and the tables themselves were all chipped up.
So with a little love, a few coats of white spray paint and a new round glass top they were completely transformed!

Chic right?

P.S. Notice the cute friendship bracelets I made? : )

Your Holiday Table

Needing some fresh ideas for this years holiday table? I know I am always on the lookout for ways to mix up the eye candy for special occasions.
Check out these super fun ideas to liven up your get togethers...

Try mismatched napkins with matching plates and napkin rings. It really adds contrast and interest to your table.

Instead of one large floral centerpiece, try several low level ones that make the table look more complete and don't block your view of the other guests.

Add some style to your garnishments by putting them in small clear glasses on a pretty tray.

And last but not least, Candles! I love long tapers they give a formal vibe even if your just having brunch.

And I'm off to scour the house for fun table decor!

Monday at My Home

It's the start of a new week and to tell the truth Evie and I are always a tad sad on Mondays because Papa has to go back to work. But at least I can look at our pretty recovered chairs that he helped me with. I recovered them and he screwed them back in. The wood that they used in the bottom of the chairs was cheap so when I first recovered them I accidently striped out the wood, making it very hard to keep the screws in. Luckily he was able to use wood filler and longer screws and that seemed to do the trick. What would we do without you lover?!

Mother's day was so wonderful except for the fact that poor baby girl came down with a cold. We took turns staying home with her so she could get plenty of rest. Richard went to church with his Mom and then my whole family pitched in to help clean my Moms house. After some good elbow greese was used I came home to homemade caesar salad with homemade croutons that Richard and Evie had made together. Isn't that too precious? Evie was so excited to show me what they had done and she kept saying "happy birthday" instead of Happy Mothers day. So sweet!

Okay enough of me gushing, ; ) here's the recovered kitchen chairs. I used a pleather instead of a vinyl, both wipe up easily but pleather is a bit softer.
Didn't they turn out fun?

PARTY!!!!

My sister is about one week away from introducing us all to baby number three, baby Julia Bright! So I thought we should throw her a wild party! That or a baby shower, knowing my sister I chose the latter. ; )

And my recipe for cute/affordable baby shower decor = diy hand painted pink place mats, mismatched china from the GW, cupcakes on candle stick holders, fresh cut pink roses, and ribbons hanging from the chandelier!

Could my Sister be any cuter?!!!

Julia, I hope you will look back to this special day and know that we love you very much! So excited to meet you sweet baby girl!

Cute lil diy

I have been on the look out for cute pink striped place mats. I figured they would be pretty hard to find. So I thought why not make my own? I found these place mats during our shopping trip to Z gallerie and decided to paint the pink stripes on myself. They turned out way cuter than I even thought.
So here's what to do if you want to try it too........

Happy Sunday!
