Cozy Fall Vignette

September 22, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: cozy corner, decor, diy, fall, fall decor, Fall vignette, home decor, vignettes

One of my favorite things about Fall is being cozy! Who doesn’t love to snuggle up with a warm blanket and a good book on a chilly night after a long day? That is exactly what inspired this simple vignette!
A few weeks back while shopping at one of my favorite little vintage shops in a local town, I found this old organ bench and snagged it real quick! It will go upstairs in my office eventually, as for now, it’s looking beautiful in my little cozy corner! I love using benches as part of my decor because the length allows you to add additional decor (props), plus the space below allows for decor also. It perfectly fits this round basket for pillows and throws!

I just love it! The colors and beauty of fall in such a simple display! So I’m curious, do you create seasonal vignettes? I think it’s a great way to add character to your home and have fun with some of your favorite decor pieces! Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you back soon!

Autumn on the Porch

September 15, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: decor, diy, fall, fall decor, Fall porch, home decor 14 Comments

I love decorating my front porch to go with the seasons. Not only that, but I love pulling up to the house and seeing it in all of it’s glory! I was so eager to begin decorating for Fall this year, so I wasted no time!
I had bought a floral wall pocket from Hobby Lobby. I knew immediately that I was going to spray paint it white since my front door was black. So, I did just that.. I spray painted it a flat white, giving it a good two coats. Once it was dry, I grabbed a low grit sand paper and began to rough it up throughout the piece. This gave it some depth and would likely blend in with the natural weathering it will get being on my porch. I had also bought some decorative wheat and potpourri arrangement at Marshall’s. I combined the two arrangements and made it my own! It smells heavenly, and I’m hoping that scent will last a little while even though it’s outside. I made a simple burlap bow using some burlap ribbon I already had and hot glued a clip onto the back. I love putting clips on my bows because I can easily remove them if needed, or move them to another spot of the arrangement if I want.

I’m pretty happy with how this piece turned out! It’s full, screams Fall and looks great on my door! So what do you think of it?

Falling In Love ♥

September 8, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: diy, DIY banner, fall, fall decor, fall in love, home decor

Although Fall doesn’t officially start until the 22nd of this month, I am in complete Fall mode! It is my favorite time of the year! I am absolutely in love with all of the the rich colors, warm tones and fragrant scents, just to name a few! I’m sure you know by now, I’m crazy for banners! So today, I’m sharing this year’s version of my Fall banner!
To start, grab a book that you will never use, or snag one from Goodwill. I chose the phrase “fall in love” for this banner, so I ripped out 9 pages from the book. Before I cut the pages to size, I printed each letter onto them and moved onto the next step. I grabbed my paper cutter and simply trimmed off the sides of each and fishtailed the bottoms by eye. I use jute for the base of my banner and usually, also, eye the length according to the size of the letters. Simply fold the top of each page over and place a piece of double stick tape to the back and press into place. Hang your banner and voila! Such a timeless piece with a statement!

Fab Pins of the Week

September 5, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: home decor, home design, neutral decor, Pinterest 3 Comments

Hello lovely and welcome! It’s such a pleasure to have you here! Since we had Monday off for Labor Day, I feel like the week went by pretty quickly! Very happy it’s the weekend though, yippee!!
At times I try to stray from it, but my love for whites and neutrals over powers all else. I say I try to stray away at times, because I will see inspiring pictures with bright colors and fun patterns and think “I’m going to do that”! But, at the end of the day, I find myself completely mesmerized by french rustic glamour and neutral tones! Here’s what I fell in love with this week… ♥

Fab Pins of the Week

Hello beautiful and Happy Friday!! Wow, has this been a long week for me! If you’re following me on Instagram you know that I had a bad fall last Sunday and badly sprained my ankle. It has been pretty miserable being forced to take it easy to allow my ankle to heal. It has, however, allowed me to get organized, plan blog posts, schedule posts, snag inspiration for projects I’ve been wanting to do and a little more 😉 
This week I’ve been quite inspired by simplicity! Simplicity that comes with white walls! Weird right? Some people crave color, and I totally get that, but this week I’ve been intrigued by the simple beauty of white.

All American Entry Way

June 30, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: 4th of July, all American, diy, fourth of july, home decor, patriotic, red white and blue, Summer decor, sunflowers 1 Comment

I said it last week, and I’ll say it again.. I adore decorating for the Forth of July! The simplicity of the flag and the meaning behind it brings a smile to my face! I didn’t go all out with fancy decor this year, I just kept it very simple and used things that remind me most of my love for Summer.
Sunflowers are among one of my favorite flowers in Summer! Their large blooms and bright color brighten any space easily! I think sunflowers make the perfect match with the American flag. For my entry this Summer, I paired a few of my favorite elements into the mix, and I’m pleased with how it turned out!
