If you were to ask me, “What do you like to shop for when you go thrifting?” I would have to say, “Blue or green bottles and jars.” There is something about the colors, the shapes, the tones and their vintage stories that intrigue my thrifty style.

I know that might sound a little different, but I can see a vision for a home decor style in each bottle or jar.

When looking through my recipe file, I found Six Summer Cake Recipes, Each is fresh and has a fresh fruit flavor. Whether it is citrus, pineapple or berry-each one is ideal for Summer.

If you know me, I am always changing and rearranging our home. I don’t know if it is a bad habit, I am OCD, OR if I just like to have fun. I prefer to think it is a fun hobby for me. (insert huge smile) No matter the reason, I am on the hunt on How To Create a Cozy Space.

After looking through Pinterest and my blog friend’s ideas, I came up with eight ways on How To Create a Cozy Space.

There are creative ideas to spice up a bedroom, dining room, outdoor living, and much more.

So grab your favorite drink, sit back and enjoy the inspiration.

I have been down for a few weeks. Nothing too serious, just life. Well, I have been thumbing through this amazing book, and it has given me the inspiration for my own Spring Organizing and Cleaning.

Having some help from the Home Organization Tear Outs For The Whole Family, I now can get myself started to get started with Spring Organizing and Cleaning. And, did I mention my blogging friend, Kristi Dominguez created, wrote and designed this book? Yep, I can’t wait to tell you all the details about this life saver of a book!

You may know Kristi from her blog: I Should Be Mopping The Floor. She is well-know for her printables and design style. With her family always on the go, she has created a book FULL of printables for the everyday family.

Christmas Decorating Tour

Welcome to my Christmas Decorating Tour. I have always had a love of Vintage Christmas decorating. It might be because I grew up at a time with the Christmas decorations were all from the 40s and 50s. It was about 20-40 years old then. But it is what I grew up with so it is written upon my Christmas soul.

At Grandma and Grandpa’s house on Christmas Eve, our imaginations would go wild. As we sat by the Christmas tree with twinkling lights and the train going around and around the tree. The train whistle would blow and some how smoke would blow out of the stack.

It was magical and wondrous. Grandpa would play Christmas carols on the piano, the turkey was cooking in the oven and the rolls were rising on the counter.

The vintage pieces that I am drawn to are chippy, worn and colorful. Everything from colorful to faded and torn with some glitter thrown it there too.

Intimate Thanksgiving At Home Decorations

Since my husband and I are now empty-nesters, I thought I would use my creative juices to for Intimate Thanksgiving At Home Decorations.

Without using the typical orange, red and purple Fall colors, I opted for blues and greens for our Intimate Thanksgiving At Home Decorations.

Laying a cable knit throw blanket over large fluffy pillows was the first way to add a little ambiance to our Thanksgiving. Sitting on the floor in front of our farmhouse coffee table, is a comfy way to enjoy our luscious meal.

A simple addition for texture and color was to use embroidered cloth napkins. Each one was made by my grandmother. I like bringing in a touch of family memories to our table.

Adding to our Intimate Thanksgiving At Home Decorations, I gathered candles, light green charger, light blue dinner plate, white decorative dessert plate, and vintage styled flatware. Each piece adds personality and sets the tone for the tablescape.

The addition of eucalyptus leaves, gives a sense of bringing the outdoors in. The pumpkins were purchased orange. I used Fusion Mineral Paint to add the color I wanted.

The eucalyptus candles are probably my favorite piece on the table. (I will have a tutorial for those in tomorrow’s blog post.) You always need candles for an intimate meal, right?

With a few colorful mini lights, we have touches that are not necessary, but always worth the time and effort.

Two more of my DIY projects: a moss monogram and a chalkboard add our own personal touch to our Intimate Thanksgiving At Home Decorations.

While it will be quiet and not what we are used to-24 grand babies running around, plus 14 grown ups talking and reminiscing-it will be the perfect Thanksgiving for me and my man.

Intimate Thanksgiving At Home Decorations can be anything that fits your personality taste and style.
