vintage style, cottage living, home cooking
I am having so much fun using scrapbook supplies to decorate can vases. See some of my most recent ideas, below.
My friend, Cortney works with Stampin’Up. She sent me a few goodies to play around with.
Hello my friends!! Happy Wednesday!! And Happy Housewarming!!
I don’t know about you, but I have a lot of friends who are moving. It is sad to see a friend move. And I don’t like good-byes. But I do like to give them house warming gifts. Nothing fancy, and not necessary, but easy and fun.
This is a sample of what we gave to our kids right after Christmas. They were moving into an apartment, sight unseen. I thought they might want to clean up after it was cleaned. Make sense?? I like to have my own type of clean-not someone else’s. (I know, a little OCD.)
I found a basket and filled it with cleaning items such as:
disinfectant wipes
bleach spray
liquid dish soap
glass cleaner
sponges
magic erasers
recipe cards
and a scented candle
Since it is their first home I thought it would be nice to also give them their first Nativity and a Christmas ornament.
Nothing fancy, but fun for a new home. They told me they ended up using all of it. I was glad I made an easy housewarming gift for them.
I tied everything up with cellophane, tulle and ribbon. It looks makes cleaning look a little more fun that way, don’t you think?
I am sure you have a few ideas of your own. What would you put in your easy housewarming gift?
This easy housewarming gift is also great for a new college student.
I have been busy working on our dining set-it is going to be so fun to share it with you!! I can’t wait to finish it.
Thanks for stopping by today. I am off to finish the dining set…

It’s Monday!! We had a wonderful time with family at our niece’s wedding this past weekend! Gorgeous bride, handsome groom committed to each other-nothing better than that!! BUT, now I’ve got the Monday Blues-Furniture Style!!
Let’s check it out…
Oh wow, look at this blue beauty!! This is a Craig’s list find. After lots of Goo Gone-Can you believe how lovely this is by Redoux Restoration??
You can never go wrong when you read Centsational Girl! An Ikea dresser turned into a work of beauty with blue fabric covered drawers. You have got to see this make over! Easy and the end result looks professional. Check out her blog for the full tutorial.
Practical Living shares this striped table along with the textured walls. And the blue buffet balances the room. Not to forget or ignore the beautiful candy!! What a room!
I found this over at BHG. Tracey Rapisardi is the designer for this bathroom. I love the well balance of the various blues and textures. And what’s not to love about the bowl??
Another Tracy Rapisardi design here as well. I think we share the same love for blues and whites combined. The chairs are crisp and cheery. The striped table top is so inviting. And then the added plaid pillows, love it. Lovin’ on the chandy with the added blue crystals, too. Simple, beachy feel.
I hope you have enjoyed the Monday Blues-Furniture Style as much as I have sharing them with you. I am always inspired when I share the Monday blues with you.
I’d love for you to pin the features, but please click through and pin from the original source.
