I find decorating my coffee table so much fun because the possibilities are endless. Technically I have a “cocktail table” since there are little shelves that you can pull out to place your drink. How neat is that? The table is pretty traditional with its round shape and dark wood. I have a nice blank slate to work with. I wanted a simple, uncluttered look using neutral tones, which and I did by using only three neutral colored objects. I still adore the cork screws in the over sized round glass container that I made a few months back. Wine Corks Decor can coordinate …

Decorating with Pillows
I am loving my new decorative pillows! Originally I had faux sheepskin pillows in my living room but they scream autumn and winter. While I love my faux sheepskin pillows, it’s time for a seasonal change. Pillows are an inexpensive and easy way to make over a room.

You can find them at so many places, like furniture stores, chain stores, home decor stores, and on line. Pillows are awesome …
Springtime Mantel
It feels like spring is finally here! It’s about that time to update my mantel decor and I decided to go with a rustic springtime look.

Whites & Greys
A white and grey color combination is so chic! I like using that color combo in my wardrobe and throughout my home, like in my guest bathroom. Since this bathroom will primarily be used by guests, I want the decor to be simple and functional. I tend to avoid matching bathroom sets because I like mixing different accessories to give a more natural look. After I wash up in a bathroom I don’t like dragging my wet hands around looking for a towel. Maybe that’s me being neurotic but I’ve placed hand soaps and towels at each sink so that …
Easter Tablescape
Time to set the table for Easter dinner! I don’t have a lot of Easter decorations so I tend to have more of a springtime table with accents of a bunny and Easter egg here and there. The delicate eyelet lace table runner creates a soft backdrop for my tablescape. Table runners can be a good tool to help you get a sense of where things can be placed on the table. I used a variety of hurricane glasses (mercury glass and clear glass) and tall chunky candles which run down the table. Using objects of different heights creates …
