A Tropical Table for Summer!

July 8
2 Comments

A tropical table is one of my favorite ways to bring some vacation vibes to dinner!  After the red, white, and blue comes down, I’m ready for palms and sandy beaches…even if I can’t be near them. Vacation plans may be on hold, but you can bring the same atmosphere to the tabletop with easy and affordable details!  Dining outside is half the fun, and by adding some tropical feels you can transport yourself to a lazy, beach-side table! Here’s the other great thing…you most likely have some of what you need right in your own backyard!  Stay safe in your own yard or patio, with your family or a small group of friends, and enjoy summer…tropical style!

A Simple Springtime Table for Mother’s Day!

6 Comments

A simple springtime table is what I’ll be setting this Mother’s Day weekend.  Even though we can’t celebrate with our extended families this year, it’s still a wonderful time to enjoy a dinner at home and rejoice in the new season!  It might seem extra daunting to set a pretty table with retailers still closed and stay-at-home orders still in place.  But not to worry!  We all have dishes in our cupboards already and with some goodies from around the house and/or yard…we can dress them up perfectly for any holiday!  Today I’m going to share a pretty way to style the tabletop just in time for Mother’s Day using simple items that I already own.  I hope it inspires you to take a peek at what you might have so you can set a lovely table and enjoy a meal with your family!  Let’s get to it…

A simple Easter is what most of us will be experiencing this year.  And though there won’t big gatherings with family & friends, we can still find ways to make the holiday special!  Today I’m sharing some of the easy ideas and recycled decorations that I’ll be using to make our day extra festive while we’re quarantined at home.  Since we have nowhere to go and an abundance of time, I LOVE the idea of extra gatherings around our table on Easter Sunday.  So this year I’ll be serving two holiday meals!  We’ll start the day with a casual brunch and I’d like to share with you how I’ll be setting the table AND our favorite breakfast casserole!  So get ready to shop your house for decorations you can use to make a simple celebration feel anything but!
