Dressing Up Your Table

As much as I love to decorate homes, I think I might love decorating tables more. I love creating tablescapes for holidays, birthdays, or just an ordinary Tuesday night dinner. I share this love of decorating my table with my mom who always used her wedding china and crystal, even if it wasn’t a special occasion. Meals are meant to be a time that you eat good food with good company, so there’s no reason why your table shouldn’t be up to par.

I’m planning a good friend of mine’s bridal shower, and I’ve loved spending hours poring over Pinterest, party blogs, and decorating magazines to plan the perfect tablescape to celebrate her impending nuptials. There’s just something so fun about taking a blank table and having your vision come to life. You don’t have to do anything fancy, just adding chargers or a vase of fresh flowers can make a table beautiful.

I LOVE Target’s collection of napkins and dish ware. It seems they’re always coming out with something new to decorate your table. Their serving trays are durable and sturdy…not to mention adorable! These are images I’m loving and would love to re-create soon!

Four Things Friday

Yay for the weekend! Do y’all have any exciting plans? I think I might just take it easy…no decorating or thrifting for me this weekend. I’ve been chained to my computer for most of the week, so I think I’m going to get some Vitamin D outside and read a book!

Here are some things I’m loving from around the Web…

1. This is such a cute idea for art work if you have children. It’s modern, but also memorable.

2. Mint is having a moment in both fashion and interior design. I LOVE these mint walls and mantle.

3. I love Target, so I was so excited to find these helpful tips about their markdown schedule. So helpful…can’t wait to plan my next trip!

4. I love Mad Men and anything midcentury, so this bar remake is amazing!

Four Things Friday

Happy Friday to y’all! What are your plans for the weekend? Some of my good friends and I are hosting a baby shower for one of our longtime friends…I can’t wait to share pictures of the decor with y’all! I’ve been carefully planning and plotting for the past two months to make sure everything looks perfect.

Here are some things I’m loving from around the Web…

1. My little brothers and I always made blanket forts around our home when we were younger. Ours never looked this good, though!

2. This DIY tutorial looks so easy to do! Goodness, what would the world be like without spray paint?

3. This bed looks so neat, but what if you move a lot when you sleep? Makes me nervous!

4. I was recently shopping at Target and saw these amazing bedding items. I think it’s time to do a bedding overhaul for me! Excuse the black bands…I couldn’t move them out of the way without undoing the entire packaging!

Four Things Friday

Hip hip hooray, it’s the weekend! I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve been in dire need of this weekend! I’ll be finishing up my rooms at the veterans’ home all weekend…do y’all have any exciting plans? Take a look at what I’m loving from around the Web right now…

1. I was shopping in Target the other day (okay, not shopping, browsing), and I came upon these amazing dusty pink chevron striped pillows. I am in love!

2. I love the simplicity of this set up. A Saarinen table and chalkboard walls? Perfection, if you ask me!

3. The use of primary colors in this room is so great! Sometimes I think primary colors can look like a little kid’s playroom, but this  looks elegant and chic.

4. This is such a great thing to remember when decorating your home or entertaining in it.
