Elegant Thanksgiving Tablescape

November 2, 2015 by Fotini Filed Under: fall, home decor, Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving centerpiece, Thanksgiving tablescape 14 Comments

Hello there! It’s a pleasure to have you here today! As much as I am ready to bust out all of the Christmas decor and start decorating, I want to take a little time to reflect on just how thankful I am! I think it’s important that we don’t lose site of Thanksgiving and what it signifies! There is absolutely nothing wrong with decorating for Christmas early (and believe me, I will be!), but I also want to take some time to focus on the Holiday we celebrate this month first! Today I will be sharing with you my elegant Thanksgiving tablescape!

Hello and welcome! I hope that you get cozy and stay awhile 😉 I’m glad it’s finally the weekend! Our community will have trick-or-treat tomorrow night and the kids are just itching for it! I hope that if you have little ones going out, that they have a great, safe time!

If you follow me on Facebook, you know that I mentioned the other day that we will not be hosting Thanksgiving this year, so my Christmas decor will be going up very soon! Is that crazy? It might be, but I’m pretty stinkin’ excited about it!

October 23, 2015 by Fotini Filed Under: fab pins of the week, fall, Pinterest 2 Comments

Hello gorgeous, how are you? I hope this post finds you well and looking forward to the weekend! As you are reading this, I am getting ready to take off with my husband for the weekend to Amish Country! We’ve rented a little cabin there, where we are looking forward to relaxing, enjoying each others company and exploring for a couple of days! So, with that said, you won’t be hearing a lot from me this weekend 😉

This week I’m sharing with you all my latest obsession, marsala a.k.a burgundy! I just can’t get enough of it this Fall! From my lipstick, nail color, sweaters, flowers and home decor, I am just loving it!! I hope that you will leave here a little more inspired by what you see today!

Simple DIY Banner

October 18, 2015 by Fotini Filed Under: diy, fall 28 Comments

Hey you! It’s great to have you here today! I’m excited to tell you I’m apart of a fun little link up called “Home for Fall”! In this link up, you will find all Fall inspired projects! I hope you’re ready to get inspired because there are a lot of great projects for you to check out, share and pin for later! Head over to Hometalk and use the hashtag #homeforfall for all these amazing projects!

Fall

The project I’m sharing is a simple DIY banner that literally takes just minutes to make!

You’re going to use two ripped or unwanted book pages. Cut the edges and bottoms off, so all that’s showing is the wording. It’s going to be a rectangle, cut that in half. Now you have four pieces total. Stack them together and cut that in half, now you have 8 pieces. Grab one stack of four and fish tail the bottoms, do for the remaining four also.

Using a hot glue gun, put two glue dots on the back corners and push into place on your jute. Leave about an inch in between each book page; continue for the remainder. Leave nearly 5 inches on each end of the banner for hanging purposes, and that’s it! Can you believe how easy that was!!

It’s the perfect addition to my chalkboard in my office! I am obsessed with it’s simplicity <3

Fall Home Tour 2015

September 28, 2015 by Fotini Filed Under: fall, home decor 10 Comments

Well hello there! I’m so happy you stopped by today! Today I’m sharing my Fall Home Tour 2015 with you all!! I have been so stinkin’ busy lately preparing for the Fall Barn Sale in a couple days, that I honestly haven’t even pulled out my usual seasonal decor. So, needless to say, so far this Fall I have decorated mildly, but I’m still loving it! Please come in, kick your feet up and get cozy for a bit!

Fall home tour

Our little Corgi, Lola, is ready to welcome you with puppy kisses at the door! Did you get the chance to check out my Fall front porch I shared last week? You can check out that post here!  As soon as you walk into our home, we have a very open concept and I wanted to try to capture that for you all, as best as possible! Immediately to your right you will see the Windsor bench I shared with you all a few weeks ago! You can view that post here! I had fun adding a tarnished champagne bucket and rolled book pages! It feels like such a cozy spot!

Fall home tour Fall home tour

Our living room is a large open space with cathedral ceilings, that opens up to our formal dining room and kitchen. As you may well know, I decorate with a lot of neutrals, so this home tour is showcasing that style. We plan to remodel the kitchen this late Fall/Winter, so I didn’t share any pics of the kitchen. It’s the only part of my house that I feel doesn’t “fit”. We have maple cabinets and green countertops, yuck! We can’t wait to get started on that project!!

Welcome Fall!

September 21, 2015 by Fotini Filed Under: fall, home decor, Uncategorized 11 Comments

Hello there friend 🙂 I hope this day finds you well! I am super excited to finally share my porch with you all today! If you follow me on Facebook, you probably saw my little video I shared with you all and I told you I would share how to easily update your porch for Fall! So, today’s that day!

As you have heard me mention in some of my recent posts, I have had an excessive mild obsession with white and blue pumpkins (again) this year. That has been the basis of my design this Fall, so it’s no surprise that I would have them outside, also!

Early Fall Mantel

September 14, 2015 by Fotini Filed Under: diy, fall 9 Comments

Hey you, welcome! I’m so happy you’re here hanging out with me this morning! It’s beginning for feel more like Fall here in Ohio… The temps are crisp in the mornings and evenings and it’s got me so excited for them to stick around!

Today I’m excited to share with you my early Fall mantel. It isn’t anything over-the-top. It’s very simple and clean, and I love it! I have had a major obsession with silver dollar eucalyptus lately. It is just so beautiful and whimsy, I can’t get enough of it! It pairs perfectly with white and blue pumpkins, which I’m also obsessed with this time of year. I’m a firm believer that using books as “fillers” in design, is one of the best things ever! I love incorporating books, as often as possible. It just makes the space look and feel cozy, instantly.

You know, I love making book page banners too, so this one is a glitter F A L L banner; super simple. Check out my banner from last Fall here! I will have these adorable glitter Fall banners for sale at the Zassy’s Fall Barn Sale October 1-3, and also for purchase in my Etsy shop, soon!

Fall Centerpiece

September 7, 2015 by Fotini Filed Under: fall, home decor, Uncategorized 4 Comments

Hey there friend 🙂 How are you today? I’m excited you’re here! I hope each of you have a wonderful week this week! I have been on cloud 9 decorating for Fall so far! I was absolutely tickled to find a local farm market had pumpkins when we went last week (I’ve been twice now 😉 ). But shh, don’t tell my husband!

Fall decor

I love how easy it is to create a beautiful  Fall centerpiece by incorporating natural elements. The markets are full of cabbages, pumpkins, pears, squash and more! Use those unexpected items to create something breathtaking! Choose a color or theme you want for the season and keep it consistent throughout your design. For instance, I love the blue/green, white pumpkins and acorn squash. I love how they all look together and all produce a similar look. I also snagged a head of cabbage for just over a $1, which looks great with this mixture as well!

Folks, I really didn’t do anything spectacular here.. I simply arranged these beautiful pieces and added a few mercury glass votives. Now, tell me that isn’t easy enough? I will be adding more and staging the table as well, but as for now I’m enjoying this simple beauty <3
