Easter Bunny Tablescape

I went with two different napkins and mix and matched with the stripes and a solid.

I honestly hadn’t planned on redoing my table for Spring, but back in December I returned Christmas plates ( my sweet Meme surprised me with the cutest puppy Christmas plates and I actually had just bought them for myself! Total proof that we are basically the same person and I get all my décor style from my 91 year old great grandmother! haha!) Anyways, that was a long way of saying that I had a gift card left over from the return and when I went into Pier 1, I saw these little bunny plates! Next thing I know, I am changing my entire table décor for Spring!

You may still be able to find these plates in your local store. They are no longer online, but I also love these, which are more colorful and not as muted and these are more traditional!

I found this little guy at Michael’s! How cute is he?! When it came to the centerpiece, I kept it really simple by using a white pitcher filled with pink tulips. Then I put him next to it and added the grapevine carrots. Tip: When decorating the middle of the table with multiple things, I like to use 3 objects that are all different heights.You could also just use the flowers and that would have been plenty!

I found this moss bunny years ago and just stuck it down into the centerpiece! He kind of blends in, but it was just a cute extra little detail!

I found these burlap bunny ear napkin rings at Hobby Lobby, but they also have similar ones at Pier 1.

I would love to see your Easter tablescape! Tag us on Instagram and use the #omthome, so we can take a look! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Stay Awhile: GuestWelcome Cart

The first thingI wanted in this cart was a sign with our wifi password on it. Every time someone comes over to the housethey always ask what our wifi password is and every time I look at them with a blank look on my face! Geezzz! Why is that so hard for me to remember? We actually have a guest staying with us right now for a month and she already complimented the sign! YAY!

Now for the fun part! I filled this cute basket with m&m’s (our guest’s candy of choice), toothbrush, brand new razor, bobby pins, hair ties, dry shampoo, body wash, shampoo and conditioner, cotton pads, q-tips, floss, and beauty samples of moisturizer and face wash. Throughout the year, I save all the beauty and free samples I get and use them to fill the basket each time a guest comes to stay. I love that it adds a special touch to the cart and is great in case they forgot to pack something!

I added a mason jar of fresh flowers and a chalkboard sign that says “help yourself,” so our guests know that everything on the cart is for them, if they need or want it.

I filled the bottom of the cart withclean towels, a brand new bar of soap, and bottles of water. It is always so awkward when you get thirsty in the middle of the night and don’t want to wake the house up trying to stumble around to find a glass to get some water. This has happened to me before, so I always include water bottles for my guests now. LOL!

We would love to see how you style and fill your guest welcome carts! Use #OMThome & we will follow along!

Summer Home Tour 2016

When we moved into our new house last year, I got this crazy notion that none of my “stuff” went with our new house! ( yeah, John wasn’t too thrilled about that!) But it was time for a change. Home tours have been so much fun this year, because I have gotten the chance to start over for each season. When starting over for a season, I always look for a focal point that is going to be my “theme.” I literally squealed with joy when I saw these lemon plates! They ended up being the inspiration for all my Summer decor.

I love the lemon plates and ceramic lemon, it will never go out-of-style!

Mixing patterns is my favorite thing to do this season!

This gorgeous striped bowl can be used in the kitchen, coffee table, or on your dining room table! I filled it with lemons. However, when we entertain, I will probably fill it with snacks!

I love incorporating older pieces that have been passed down from my great grandmother ( who may I add, is still fabulous at 91!) I swear she has better fashion style and home decor now than I ever will! She gave me the blue willow vase on the left and I will cherish it always. She has had it for many, many years and I love that the blue willow is back in style now! I also love this frame and mirror from Michael’s! They were a total find and can be used season after season!

I am a sucker for an old window and this boxwood wreath just MADE it! Plus adding the bright, tassel pillows gave it that pop of color I was looking for! Sometimes, it can be hard to incorporate bright colors with a more “fixer upper” feel style. These pillows were just the right amount of color for that area.

Staying true to the lemon theme..gotta serve up some lemonade and show off these adorable glasses from Ikea!

Can’t go wrong with Sunflowers for the table! They are my go-to flowers when wanting to brighten the house up.

Obviously, I have a thing for these pillows! I wanted to add a little color to my all white office – they did just the trick!

Thank you so much for checking out our Summer Home decor!Make sure to check out ourstep-by-step tutorial for the cutestpink and yellow Lemonade Wreath! What Summer trend are you loving right now?

Spring Home Tour 2016

Here’s a look at the mantle:

I have mentioned this in earlier posts, but when we bought our new home this past Summer, I completely changed the color scheme in our house. Since then I have been collecting metal pieces, birchwood, cream & distressed decor. I have been trying to stick with those main staple pieces for every season, which saves me money, because I can reuse the same pieces in new ways each season. (Instead of buying a bunch of decor that I can only use once a year.) I did however, splurge on a couple bunnies for Easter, but for the most part – everything I got can be repurposed for each season.)

Photo frame and metal heart sign are from Micheal’s!

This is little wall in the living room is my favorite area in the house right now. This boxwood wreath& pillows really brought this area together.

This “Have I told you lately that I love you sign” used to be lime green and red. Take a look at what you already have and see if you can paint it and give it a fresh new look.

We use our coffee table all the time. So, lately I have been choosing simple centerpieces that won’t get messed up if we keep moving them around.

This candlestick goes with EVERYTHING. I like that it adds a little shimmer and breaks up the distressed pieces I have in the living room. & this metal tray has been used for SO many things. This is going to sound dramatic, but I would put it at the top of my best purchases of the year. It was so cheap and I have used it for other centerpieces& at a bridal shower to hold drinks.

This glass clochecaught my eye the minute I saw it! I put moss and these paper cache eggswith the little chicks inside it. I just love the way it turned out!

I have an obsession with boxwood everything right now. This little boxwood shrubwas too cute to pass up!

Above the Kitchen Cabinets:

Stay tuned for a post on how to decorate above the kitchen cabinets! It can be so difficult to fill that space. I’ll be sharing my tips soon

Entryway:

How adorable is this bunny!? I think he looks like a little gentleman with his bowtie haha!

This Home Sweet Home DIY is so simple! I love how subtle it is, but adds so much at the same time.

Hope you enjoyed our very first Spring home tour! I would love to know what styles and trends you are loving this Spring!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

This year on a whim I decided to completely change my typical fall color scheme of warm tone oranges, browns, and maroons and instead channeled my inner Joanna Gaines ( if you don’t know who this is  after you read this post – stop everything your doing and go watch, Fixer Upper, on Netflix asap- you will thank me later LOL!) by incorporating metal pumpkins, an old window, wood and a ton of grapevine. Oh and lots of cotton! Seriously, there could never be enough cotton. Then finished the look off with little touches of silver throughout.

Here’s a look at my 2015 Fall Home Tour:

Mantle:

I think the mantle was my favorite part this year. We haven’t had a mantle in a couple years and I forgot how much fun it is to decorate it!

(Excuse the dirty fire place, it is on my to-do list!)

John made the Acts 2:46 Sign for me out of an old window. It has become one of my all time favorite pieces.

The wood stumps are from Michael’s Art Supply and by adding the raccoon on top, it just made the little guy stand out so much more!

My favorite “find” of the season was this metal pumpkin. This is the piece that tied everything together. I originally saw this pumpkin at a high- end design shop and couldn’t justify spending the money on it. Then a couple days later, I found the exact same pumpkin at Hobby Lobby and of course it was cheaper and was 50% off! (Don’t get betta than that!) So, needless to say – this pumpkin came home with me and has been sitting here being gorgeous ever since.

Tip: I wanted the cream pumpkin to sit up higher, so we took a candle holder and put the pumpkin on top of it. You can also use clear bowls and glassware to do the same thing! You will never even notice it, but it helps add dimension. Especially if you use this technique on an entryway table or on top of a cabinet or entertainment center and use greenery, garland, or ribbon to hide it.

Entertainment Center:

My mom uses grapevine in all her decorations and this year she taught me an awesome trick! She buys a grapevine wreath and cuts the pieces that hold the wreath together. Be sure to do it outside – it gets messy! Then grab one end and have someone  pull it out away from you and it will stretch into this really pretty twig, curly vine. Then you can break it into sections to make it easier to decorate with. I had enough from one $5 wreath from Michael’s Art Supply to use in all my Fall decorating. It can be a little hard to work with, so just be patient. You may have to drape and reposition it several times to get it to look the way that you want it too.

Inside the cubbies of the entertainment center:

To fill those random spaces, I bought a couple signs from Hobby Lobby and Home Goods, used leftover cotton and put it in a glass jar, and filled a basket with extra pumpkins that I had.

Coffee Table:

Entryway Table:

One thing I love about this using metals, creams, and grapevine is that so much of my decorations can be used all year long. All I have to do is trade out the pumpkins and cotton for other seasonal items.

I hope you enjoyed my first Home Tour on the blog! Tonight, I will be packing it all up and starting to put out Christmas Décor. So, stay tuned for my Christmas Home Tour post soon!

Thanks for stopping by!
