Butterflies & Bunnies

As much as I love my previous Spring decor, after using it the last several years I was ready for a new look. I wanted something fresh and bright and decided to go with white vases (large and small), white dishes, and white glassware. For dramatic color, I decided on a series of floral arrangements,… Continue reading Butterflies & Bunnies

Venetian Carnevale

For my Winter look this year, I used black, gold and Venetian masks to decorate the house. At the same time, I was preparing for the tradition of celebrating Mardi Gras around the world! Last year, we had an Austrian focus, and this year we celebrated Venetian style! I carried the color scheme and masks… Continue reading Venetian Carnevale

If that isn’t your way, you don’t have the funds, or you don’t like everything matchy-matchy, enjoy the journey of accruing pieces over time! When developing a… Continue reading Take Your Time

Fun with Chairs

As I looked through my past decor looks, I realized my dining chair fabrics did not always work well with the themes. While I love the fabrics and they coordinate and repeat throughout the house, the arm chair fabric especially can distract or compete with the dining room decor or theme colors. After considering the… Continue reading Fun with Chairs

Summer is BUZZING

As I cleaned up after a party, I took the opportunity to change out the May Black & White look to the Summer seasonal decor. I cleared the table and cleaned the glass. You will see in the background of the following photos that I didn’t actually put everything away. I get so excited to… Continue reading Summer is BUZZING

We will be hosting a Party to celebrate the birthdays of our son and daughter-in-law. They created the guest list and my husband & I along with my parents (both great cooks) will provide the dinner and service restaurant style! To personalize the decor for them, I made a simple change by swapping out the… Continue reading Party Time!
