Fab Pins of the Week!

April 10, 2015 by Fotini Filed Under: diy, fab pins of the week, home decor, Pinterest, Spring, Uncategorized 4 Comments

Hey you! Welcome to my little corner.. I hope you will stick around for awhile! I’m so glad the weekend is here! It has been raining all week here in Ohio, I’m not complaining, really I’m not.. But the weekend is supposed to be a gorgeous one and I can’t wait!

I am just aching to get outside and work in my garden, and I think that’s exactly what I will do tomorrow! Our garden wasn’t very big last year, I would say maybe 7 feet by 4 feet, or so. I would like to nearly double that this year! My strawberries are growing “like weeds” and I can’t wait until they begin producing!! So anyways, I could go on for hours about gardening, my flowers and my visions with you, but I will do you a favor and cut it short 😉 This week I have been inspired by gardening and I hope you will leave here inspired too!

Fab Pins of the Week!

March 13, 2015 by Fotini Filed Under: diy, fab pins of the week, Pinterest, Uncategorized 3 Comments

Hey there and welcome! What have you been up to this week? It’s been a very busy one here at our house! We got a good bit of rain which melted the snow and I was just super thrilled about that! Temps have been in the low 50’s which feels like a heat wave! And, my crocus are in bloom and  my tulips are beginning! Ahh, I love Spring!

One project I am so eager to get started is our kitchen remodel! With our budget being small, I’m trying to come up with cost effective alternatives to things I really like! This week I’ve been completely inspired by all things marble! Let’s get inspired…

Christmas in the Formal

December 18, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: Christmas, Christmas tablescape, formal dining room, neutral Christmas decor, tablescape

This Season I have been decorating with neutrals, natural elements and pops of red! We finally finished painting our formal dining room furniture and I just love how it looks! I will share the full reveal in another post 😉 One day while I was out and about shopping at a local hardware store, I spotted some beautiful cedar garland and snagged a 12 foot bunch!

The smell of the fresh cedar is just sensational! The perfect addition to any Holiday decor! I simply swagged it over my formal table and cut it to my desired length. I rearranged some of my mercury glass pieces, vases and votives, as well as, a few sporadic glittery mini bulbs into the design. I love using candles in my center pieces because it gives it such a romantic, intimate feel!

I added an additional swag of cedar on my buffet, as well as, a fresh boxwood wreath! The beautiful shades of green mix perfectly with the neutral tones and pops of red!

Joy to the World!

December 15, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: Christmas, Christmas printable, Joy to the world, printable 7 Comments

One of my absolute favorite Christmas carols is “Joy to the World”. I catch myself singing it all the time throughout the season. When I was a little girl, my Aunt Alta would have me sing it to her over and over! She was in her late 80’s and well into her 90’s while I was growing up! Memories like that, I hope I never forget! I’m also teaching it to my little ones at Church this year to perform during the Christmas Eve service! Just to hear their little voices proclaim the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ melts my heart!

I’ve created this cute chalkboard printable for you to enjoy with your Christmas decor, give as a gift or even print off and use as a gift tag! The possibilities are endless! I hope you enjoy!

Thanksgiving Tablescape

November 19, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: centerpieces, diy, fall, home decor, natural decor, tablescapes, Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving centerpiece, Thanksgiving tablescape 11 Comments

I am super excited for Thanksgiving this year! We have been so busy with work, extracurricular activities, traveling, school, home projects and more, that it seems we’ve not got to spend much time with family. I can’t wait to spend time with everyone on Thanksgiving! We will be hosting dinner at our house, so it’s been fun playing around with my tablescape for this year! I’ve teamed up with some lovely ladies who are also sharing more tablescape ideas and yummy recipes to try this Thanksgiving, check them out below!

Thanksgiving
This Fall I’ve opted for a more natural, simple setting. I got my pumpkins, squash and gourds early in the season, so at this point they are beginning to turn colors and age, but that just brings out the beauty in this tablescape. Adding greenery to the mix also makes the setting more inviting. I added some dried branches to a porcelain pitcher to add some height to the table. More than likely the day before Thanksgiving I will buy some fresh greenery and flowers. You can never go wrong with fresh flowers!

My favorite part about this tablescape is the paper leaves I cut out using my silhouette. Each leaf has a bible verse written on it that relates to being thankful. My plan is to have family read them before we pray. I think this  is a special way to express just how thankful and blessed we all are! Adding meaningful touches to your tablescape will always wow your guests! Also, in the background, on my buffet, you will see ‘our thankful tree‘ I shared last year!

I hope each and every one of you have a very blessed and memorable Thanksgiving this year!

Rustic Christmas Inspiration

November 10, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: Christmas, Christmas 2014, Christmas decor, faux fur, holiday decor, rustic Christmas, rustic decor 3 Comments

Hello there and welcome! It is truly a pleasure to have you here 🙂 If you follow me on Facebook, you know last week I mentioned how terribly I wanted to decorate for Christmas. Guys, it’s a real struggle! I have promised myself that I wouldn’t decorate until after my Holiday Open House I am having this weekend. But, you better believe the minute my open house is over, guests are gone and things are put back into their place, that I will be pulling out my Christmas stuff. Yes, I’m serious! I am just thrilled at the thoughts!!!
To help ease my urge, I put together a cute little inspiration board that I will be basing my decor off of this year! Do you keep the same style and design year to year? Or do you change it up? I like to change it up, within reason, each year! I tend to use the majority of the same ornaments, give or take a few and I have a few of my favorite, traditional family pieces that I incorporate into every design. It can get expensive, and may not be something you’re interested in doing, but if you are, my best advice is to plan the year before and shop the after Christmas sales when things can be up to 90% off.
This year I’m going for a rustic, warm design. I will be using faux fur, lots of candles, mercury glass, greenery, glitter, deers and pinecones!

19+ Kitchen Lighting Inspirations!

September 16, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: diy, home, Hometalk, kitchen, kitchen lighting, lighting 2 Comments

What’s one room in your house that you and your family spend the most time in? Ours is the kitchen! We have a eat-in kitchen and it’s pretty much the center of our house, so we’re walking through it often. When we entertain or host family gathering’s, the kitchen is the main hang out spot. With that being said, having some fabulous lighting is a must!
I’ve partnered up with Hometalk to curate an inspiration board where you can clip, like and share all your favorite ideas for new kitchen lighting in your home! There are so many fantastic DIY options that won’t break the bank! I think you’re really going to be inspired these!!
What I love about the majority of these lights is the creativity used by repurposing old items! When it comes to kitchen lighting, what are some of your must-haves? For me, I want something that goes with the rest of my decor, but stands out and has a lot of character!
Thank you for stopping by today and please be sure to visit my Hometalk board by clicking directly on the photo, to gather and share your inspiration!
