Decorating With The Ordinary

I love decorating with items that are not typically considered "decor", like glass bottles for example. They can add a vintage, old-world kind of look to any space!

I especially love this look...the robin's egg blue, the brass, old books and bottles...it is just perfect!

Wishlist Monday

Happy Monday everyone! Today I am feeling like this...


and wanting one of these...


and already getting in the Christmas spirit...with all the stores in Christmas mode, I can't help but have it rub off on me! Time to make some gingerbread!


Speaking of Christmas, here are some recent finds I have come across that just might be going on my wish list:

I love the rattan and glass knob details on this nightstand!

I love this ruffle laundry bag!

I think this shelf is so cute and reminds me of a birdcage.

Is there anything you are wishing for today or for Christmas?

Thankful For...

...pretty decor!
I thought I would keep the fall/Thanksgiving theme going today with some inexpensive ideas to add some special touches to your decor this holiday. Even if you have already celebrated Thanksgiving, or don't at all, you still might be able to use these ideas for some special fall touches.

If you have a Liquid Amber tree, you might have these unique spurs.

A grape leaf adds some simplicity and elegance to this setting.

Painting a small pumpkin gold adds some shimmer to a table setting.

A branch with leaves placed under a clear plate allows this decor to remain while enjoying food.

Make your own basket-weave place cards

Make your own leaf motif table linens.

Cornhusk votives add an untraditional color to this table.

Glowing Hurricane Glasses.

Make your own flower arrangement using a pumpkin as a vase.

Use candle holders to display small pumpkins.

Use felt to make letters on candles like this "Giving Thanks" centerpiece.

If you have a secretary or any kind of shelving in your dining room, turn it into an overflow of harvest goodness with candles, pumpkins, cornhusks, and wheat.
