Office Refresh

September 17, 2020 by Fotini Filed Under: 14 meals, 16, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 25 Days of Christmas, 27 West & Co., 4th of July, home decor

Guys! You may or may have not heard… this week I launched my very own boutique!! Since I can remember, I have always wanted a store. For about a year I had a little barn, which was my little happy place, but things didn’t work out. Recently, I decided to take the plunge & brand off of my already known, Farmhouse Chic. My little online boutique is called Farmhouse Chic Boutique ✨

It’s my little slice of happiness where I get to share items I, myself love & wear! If you would like to check it out, click or if you would like to join my facebook group page where you get exclusive info & pre sale items, click !

With my exciting new venture, I decided I needed to give my current home office a refresh (on a budget, I might add!)! A space that reflects my style & personality! And let me just tell you, I am SO EXCITED about it!

I’m going outside of my normal, neutral style. I want my office space to be chic & fun! My inspiration will be coming from light pinks, leopards, golds, along with neutrals of course!

As always, my favorite way of bringing my vision to life is a mood board. So follow along with me as I share what my inspiration for my updated office design will be.

I can’t wait to see you back here with my updated office refresh!

Master bedroom Refresh

Inspiration comes in many different ways, shapes & sizes. I find myself getting inspired by specific objects alone! My girlfriends & I were actually just talking about that this past weekend. Are you one that tends to get inspired by one specific thing, such as a pillow, piece of furniture, rug, etc. Or does finding inspiration come in other ways for you?

Lately, I have been wanting to give my master bedroom a little refresh! I don’t have a big budget to spend on this project, so I wanted to keep it simple & affordable, using most of my existing large items. It’s amazing how much you can change up the look of a room by adding new bedding, rugs & accessories!

I have created this little mood board, because lets be honest, I’m LOVING those right now! It’s the best way for me to take my vision & bring it to life! Best part about it, is these items are AFFORDABLE!

I know what most are you are probably thinking… white bedding? Let me just say I have had white bedding in the past & absolutely love it! It just portrays serenity & cleanliness! Secret to keeping it clean? See below!

OxiClean white revive & stain remover will work miracles on your new & old, dingy whites! So fear no more, having white sheets, duvets, blankets, pillows, any of it!

If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen the post where I shared my new olive tree! I am sharing the link to it above! I plan to do a product review & showcase it there as well, so consider this a little sneak peek of this product 😉

As part of my master bedroom refresh, I also plan to paint. I haven’t completely came to a decision on paint colors yet, so your input is well appreciated!

Stay tuned for the makeover coming in the next few weeks!

Spring Mantel Design

March 15, 2019 by Fotini Filed Under: home decor

Spring Mantel Design

If you’re anything like me, you’re much anticipating Spring! Last week I shared some faux houseplant inspiration and mentioned that I would be sharing my live plants this week! Well, the time is here! And let me just say, I’m a solid 3 (almost 4) weeks and the plants are still alive ☺️ Folks, this is a big deal! Let’s hope it stays that way! Today I’m sharing my Spring mantel design!

Spring Mantel Design

My design inspiration came from the beautiful live plants I snagged while on a shopping trip to Aldi. I wasn’t expecting to come home with plants, yet I came home with three! Even went and bought more little ones later that day! Their bold, whimsical greens made me feel alive! And after a long winter here in Ohio, that was feeling I was absolutely aching for!

A Warm, Cozy Chic Christmas Tree

November 28, 2018 by Fotini Filed Under: Christmas, home decor 662 Comments

A Warm, Cozy Chic Christmas Tree

Hello there & welcome! Decorating my home for Christmas is one of my very favorite things! Creating a warm, cozy chic Christmas tree design was my goal this Christmas, & I feel that I accomplished just that!

I get asked a lot “do you buy all new ornaments each year?”, & the answer is no! I typically do shop after Christmas sales & may pick up some new ornaments for me to use the following Christmas, but I actually use the same ornaments year-to-year. It’s amazing how you can make your tree look different each year, even while using those same ornaments! [Read more…]

FREE Mrs. Meyer’s Holiday Set from Grove Collaborative

November 27, 2018 by Fotini Filed Under: Christmas, home

FREE Mrs. Meyer's Holiday Set from Grove Collaborative

It’s that time of year again. Our house is buzzing with activity, from hosting out-of-town guests, to throwing holiday parties, to wrapping gifts & decorating the mantel.

Not surprisingly, my desire to have a clean, welcoming home intensifies tenfold in this time each year!

Fortunately, it’s also the time of year when Mrs. Meyer’s holiday scents return!!! (insert happy dance🙌🏼).

Not only do they look & smell festive, they also make the task of cleaning & doing dishes a lot more enjoyable! 

This year, Mrs. Meyer’s is bringing back three crowd favorites: Iowa Pine, Peppermint, & Orange Clove. I’ve been waiting all year for Iowa Pine to return, because the crisp and spicy scent fills the entire house with wonderful smells of Christmas trees.   

FREE Mrs. Meyer's Holiday Set from Grove Collaborative

Right now, you can get a free Mrs. Meyer’s trio in your choice of scents, plus a free set of Grove Collaborative walnut scrubber sponges — all packed up in a limited edition red cleaning caddy for gifting (or keeping!). 

New customers will get the holiday set when you place your first order of $20:

  • Free Mrs. Meyer’s holiday hand soap

  • Free Mrs. Meyer’s holiday dish soap

  • Free Mrs. Meyer’s holiday multi-surface spray

  • Grove Collaborative red caddy

  • Grove Collaborative walnut scrubber sponges

Plus, if you spend $39, you’ll also receive a free Grove stoneware tray to beautifully display your new holiday soaps.

If you’re already a Grove customer, you’ll get a free set of Grove walnut scrubbers  — perfect for cleaning up after baking cookies or pumpkin pie.

FREE Mrs. Meyer's Holiday Set from Grove Collaborative

This beautiful red caddy is everything you need to organize your home for the holidays! While you could go the traditional route & use it to store your cleaning supplies, it would also make a great gift wrapping station stocked with tape, ribbons, markers, & tags. Or, wrap your silverware in napkins, secure with a napkin ring, & place them in the caddy for your holiday buffet. 

Speaking of holiday buffets, there’s no shortage of dirty dishes this time of year. Fortunately, Mrs. Meyer’s dish soap is perfect for tackling tough messes. Put a drop in your roasting pan or crockpot and watch grease disappear! 

Of course, no kitchen or bathroom is complete without Mrs. Meyer’s hand soap. I get tons of compliments on these scents, & the cheerful bottles are an easy way to spruce up your sink-side display.

Another holiday hosting must-have is Mrs. Meyer’s multi-surface cleaner. It’s ideal for those last-minute cleanups before guests arrive. You only need one product for countertops, walls, bathroom fixtures, & wood or tile floors. Plus, it leaves your entire home smelling like the holidays.

Since the holiday season is also flu season, I always keep the multi-surface spray on hand for wiping down faucets, doorknobs, & other surfaces that get touched all the time. 

Grove Collaborative is also an essential for me during the busy holiday season! Grove hand-selects the best natural products & delivers them (carbon offset) right to your doorstep, on your schedule. They’ve got you covered for all your cleaning & organization needs as you head into the holiday season.

When you submit your first order, you’ll also be signed up for the free 60 day VIP trial. For 60 days, you’ll save even more with free shipping, free gifts, price matching, exclusive sales & customer service. That means more money left over to spend on gifts for your family (or a little treat for yourself!). 

These holiday sets fly off the shelves faster than toys on Black Friday, so don’t wait! Here’s how to grab your free set:

  1. Sign up for Grove Collaborative here (affiliate link).You will receive the Mrs.Meyer’s Holiday Set for free when you sign up!

  2. To receive this offer, your order needs to be a minimum of $20. Choose the combination of products & scents you love & receive your first box within a few days.

  3. You made it! Click Finish & Pay and place your order.

You’re going to absolutely love Grove Collaborative & the simplicity of using great products chosen by YOU, delivered straight to your door! Thanks for stopping by! XO.
