We are welcoming Spring to our home this week with a bit of new decor from Old Time Pottery! I decided to refresh the entry table first since it’s the first thing you see as you come in the house. This is one of my favorite spaces to change up for the seasons. As always, […]
Before I start this post I just want to say I am not an artist by any means! I kept seeing these textured art pieces all over Pinterest and thought maybe I can make one! I do not have the thousands of dollars to spend on a piece of art. Plus I don’t want to […]

My favorite place for seasonal décor, Old Time Pottery, has some of the prettiest Spring florals! I just love the […]

I love love this table setting! The colors are bright instead of pastel. Not to take anything away from the pastels but I love the brights. It looks simple to duplicate also. You could purchase a turquoise tablecloth and hot glue ribbons down the center. Fill a basket with tulips or your favorite spring flower. […]
