Hey friend! I have been sharing little peeks of my office pretty in pink Christmas tree for a couple weeks now. Today I’m sharing all the details!

It is one of my favorites! It is simple, feminine, pink, sparkly & allll the feels. The tree is a 6.5 foot black & gold ombre tree. It has been such a fun tree to decorate because it is so multi-functional.

I started off with some easy DIY ornaments I made years ago using small inexpensive store frames & adding scripture print in them. Check out the tutorial HERE. Next, I began adding in glittery ornaments & mercury glass balls in silver & white. I absolutely love working with pinks, champagnes & all the neutrals! It truly makes for a stunning combination!

Time for fillers! I used glittery stems, glittered eucalyptus, white eucalyptus, glittery ferns & such. Fillers bring your tree to life & give it so much character! I love using big, whimsy stems that droop & hang. My favorite touch to this pretty in pink Christmas tree design, is the velvet poinsettias I snagged from Hobby Lobby for half off!

It is truly the perfect addition to my office! I love looking at it & hope to keep it up for awhile! Even after the new year!

Thank you so much for stopping by & I hope to see you back here again soon!

Winter Chic Christmas

December 4, 2020 by Fotini Filed Under: 14 meals, 16, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 25 Days of Christmas, 27 West & Co., 4th of July, Christmas, home decor

Hey friend! I’m happy to have you here today! I’m sharing my 2020 Winter chic Christmas design with you! Grab a cup of hot cocoa, snuggle up & come get cozy with me!

It’s no surprise to you, that 2020 has been quite a year. I hope that despite all the change & chaos, you are able to enjoy the Holiday season. You may know that I shared my Thanksgiving Tree at the beginning of November, so sure enough I began to get the itch to decorate for Christmas about a week before Thanksgiving.

I wasn’t quite sure what look I was going for this year, but I knew I wanted it to be glittery, pink & chic! Like most of my past designs, I tend to use the same stems, fillers, ornaments & ribbon. That being the case, most of designs are similar. I’m ok with that because they’re still each different & unique.

My best advice is grab LOTS of fillers! I tend to use less ornaments & more stems & fillers to make the tree appear full. Always work in a pattern. Start at the top & bottom & fill in between with your ornaments first. I bunch my fillers into piles on the floor. Next, start adding them in a pattern throughout the tree. I like to keep them hanging out, drooping, etc. It gives the tree so much more character that way! Finish by adding your spiraled ribbon in a pattern as well. I uses three different ribbons.

I have shared in the past how I incorporate the ribbons throughout my tree, but would you be interested in me sharing it again? It seems to be a pretty frequent question. And you won’t believe how simple it really is!

I have two cats & they have both enjoyed the warm fires daily & glow of the Christmas tree during the day. However, my gray tabby, Rocky, has began climbing the tree again. He’s so ornery! I’m just glad I was able to snag some pics before he wrecked it completely! The kitty pictured above is Tinsel. She’s the biggest sweetie & my shadow!

I so appreciate you stopping by here & hanging out with me for a bit! I’ll be sharing more soon, so I hope that you will come back! Have a wonderful day!

Happy Friday friends! 😊 Not sure what it is, but I’ve been in a funk lately and can’t seem to get myself out of it! I’m having a hard time getting inspired to decorate around my home. The fact that I’m constantly browsing Pinterest and Instagram doesn’t help! I see all these beautiful designs and no real desire to create some of my own. Ugh 😩 Do you ever get this way? I have a few blogger friends that are in the same stump, so I don’t feel SO alone, LOL!

Ok, rant over! Let’s take a peek at what’s inspired me this week on Pinterest! This week I can’t get enough of classy elegance: chic touches, marble, feminine! [Read more…]

Hello beautiful! I hope you’re doing wonderful today! Things have been hectic around our house, which seems to be the norm lately! I’ve been having a harder time than usual adjusting to blog deadlines, decorating and balancing my home. It’s gotten a little overwhelming at times, and I’m trying to figure it all out!

Still kickin’ and still sharing my passion with you all!

Simple Office Storage

February 16, 2015 by Fotini Filed Under: design, diy, home office, office storage, simple storage solution, storage box 13 Comments

What I love about decorating my office, is I literally had a blank space that I got to decorate! But, in the same breath, that means I have to find items that provides adequate storage and has an affordable price tag! I’m still not done decorating and rearranging my office, so until then I’m just sharing little bits and pieces with you!

While at Jo Ann Fabrics, I picked up this cute light pink photo box for $3. I’m not sure if it’s just the times, or what, but I’m loving gold accents. I knew that just by simply painting the chrome label gold that would give this little box an entire new look! So, that’s just what I did! Using Decoart elegant finish in glorious gold, I carefully painted the chrome label, allowing it to completely dry between coats. I did a total of 3 coats. And it was done! Just like that, I have a chic little box for all my odds and end pieces that usually end up sitting on my desk!What I love about these photo boxes is they look adorable stacked on top of each other or simply by them selves. They’re great for photos (obvi), craft paints, writing utensils, stickers, thank you and note cards, chargers (computer, camera, iPhone, etc.) and so much more! So what do you think? A pretty, simple storage solution, right?

Sharing on these lovely blogs!
