Welcome to The Valentines Tour

February 4, 2014 By Meegan 9 Comments

Welcome to The Valentines Tour!

Yay!!  It’s the Valentines Tour with lots of ideas and inspiration from 14 bloggers! It’s MY turn today, and I am excited to have you here.  If you are here for the first time, here is a BIG WELCOME!  And if you are recent visitor, I am SO happy to have you here again.

Today, as part of the Valentines Tour I thought I would share my Valentines Shelves with you.

These shelves are in our kitchen and are a focal point in our home.  Each shelf has meaningful items on it.  I liked using red, white, and a little Tiffany blue for contrast.

Six Fall/Thanksgiving Decorating Ideas

November 10, 2012 By Meegan 11 Comments

Oh my!!  Fall is upon us and Thanksgiving is just days away.  I thought it would be fun to share with you  Six Fall/Thanksgiving Decorating Ideas.  I LOVE using my kitchen shelves as a focal point.   I chose to decorate them with 2 different styles, so you can see how easy and simple Thanksgiving decor can be.

My first choice is going with all whites, browns and a touch of blue (you know how I love blue!)

I love the outcome of this look.  I used a jar from my croquet box filled with book page cones.  I also painted my little pumpkins, that used to be orange.  Super easy!!  I really like to use empty frames so I used this one from my tv room.

I used the same PB knockoff pumpkin from my Halloween Shelves.  I think it goes perfectly with the theme.  I have my grandparents old books that I used for levels.  The pine cones are from outside.  Again-easy peasy!!

I think is goes very well with my Fall Paper decor

For my #2 idea: I added Fall colors to my Fall Shelves, because Hubby still likes the traditional orange (which happens to be his fave color)

I used a few of the same elements, but added some traditional Thanksgiving colors as well.  Don’t you just love this scarecrow?  He is my fave!!

For my #3 idea:

I am so pleased with my Fall Coffee Table.  Simple and easy to bring Thanksgiving into our home.  I painted this orange pumpkin white to blend with my ideas.  I also rolled some book pages for a wreath look.

For my #4 craft:

Another great idea to bring Thanksgiving into your home.  Using your used jars and add book pages with mod podge. Let your imagination go and create something wonderful for your table or mantel with these.

For #5 decor:

 I had so much fun making this paper decor!!  Again-easy simple and inexpensive!!  It took me less than an hour to put this altogether.  This would also look great as a centerpiece, don’t you think?

And, #6:

I also added some Fall decor on my bookshelf for a more Thanksgiving/Cottage feel to our home.   I love to use my PB artichokes all over the house!!  I love them in this vessel.  They are perfect with the pumpkins and gourds.

I hope you have been inspired to decorate for Fall with my Six Fall/Thanksgiving Decorating Ideas.  It’s fun to change up and move around accessories to get ready for the Holidays, don’t you think?
Make it a Super Saturday!!

Twelve Under $3 Christmas Decorating Ideas

December 8, 2012 By Meegan 21 Comments

 

 

I looked around our home and realized that I have Twelve under $3 Christmas decorating ideas!!  How cool is that?? Since I have so many, I thought I would share them with you, too!!

 Chalkboards are such a fun trend right now-so make these super easy ones.  Using clothes pins you can put them anywhere, even on your tree!!

 Decorate a paper mache’ ornament.  They are on sale everywhere right now!!  I know you already have paint and glitter.

 Buy a book from the thrift store.  Roll up some cones and make a banner with stamps.  Easy!!

Use an old pickle jar, fill it with Epsom salts and place your tiny Christmas figurines in it.  Tie some twine around it, and even add a wire handle!!

 Add some white and sparkle with a cotton ball tree!!  Simple and a great craft for the kiddos, too!!

Using another paper mache’ ornament, mod podge your torn book pages to it.  While it is still wet, sprinkle glitter on it!!  Looks like from PB don’t you think??

 Flock your own tree!!  For a$1.50 you can buy “canned snow”.  I flocked 2 of our trees.  They look amazing!

Decorate your chandelier with greenery, sticks, pearls, and tulle.  Bring some of your icicle ornaments along, too.  Now your chandy is ready, too!

 Copy some old Christmas Carole pages.  Tie some twine and clip with  a clothes pin to an empty frame. Wouldn’t this look great by a Nativity??

 Make a book page garland to adorn around your tree!!  Super easy!!

Buy a couple of birdhouses to bring the outside, in!! Paint and glitter them up, and viola!!  Winter in your home!!

 

Speaking of bringing the outside in-bring in some old branches from a tree!  Hang some birdhouses and icicles on them and you are set!!

I hope you have enjoyed and been inspired by my Under $3 Christmas Decorations!!  You can always make your home look nice without spending a lot of money.  It has been a delight for me to share them with you!!

Thanks for stopping by today and letting me share what I love to do!

Make it a terrific Thursday!!
