Blue and White

March 11th, 2015Tina2 Comments

It’s all about the blues and whites, baby. My home looks quite different since the last time you saw it at Christmas time. After I put those decorations away I had a blank slate to welcome a fresh new look. A few weeks ago I saw the blue and white floral vase (pictured below) at Home Goods and I thought it was beautiful. It put me in a cheery mood and I thought it would be a great way to welcome the warmer weather. Folks, I had found my inspiration piece for the new look. The candle, books, gold bowl and picture frame are …

Simple Coffee Table Decor

May 26th, 2013Tina0 Comments

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. There are so many options to choose from, whether you’re looking for a particular size, style, color, or pattern. Plus they come in all price ranges to fit within your budget. You can find them at so many places, like furniture stores, chain stores, home decor stores, and on line. Pillows are awesome …

Springtime Mantel

April 12th, 2013Tina0 Comments

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. I wanted to keep everything simple and clean and use objects that remind me of spring. Flowers are a wonderful reminder that spring has sprung! I recently bought these faux peonies and I’m loving them because they look like live flowers. Have you ever seen faux flowers that look plastic? Pass. I adore the height and drama that the peonies bring to the mantel. Then I added tall objects on the opposite side of the mantel in …

Wine Corks Decor

February 24th, 2013Tina1 Comment

Wine is always present when my husband and I entertain, so we have quite the collection in our wine cellar. I call it a “wine cellar”, but our wine collection is really in a series of racks in a corner of our unfinished basement. I’ve always thought that wine corks were cool looking, especially when they are grouped together. One day, many years ago, I saw that some stores were selling wine corks as a decor filler. What?! I can get them for free if I collect them from our own wine bottles. So, now each time we open …
