Faux Plant Inspiration

March 5, 2019 by Fotini Filed Under: home decor

Faux plant inspiration

Well hello there stranger! It has been awhile since I’ve been around here! I’ve been taking some much needed time to myself, but ready to get back into the swing of things. Now that winter is almost over, I am in full Spring- mode over here! You too?

Today I wanted to share with you some simple ways to add spring into your home! These faux plants will inspire you to bring life into your decor! Click on any picture below to be taken directly to that product! Easy peasy!

 

 


If you follow me on Instagram, you know last week I bought some live house plants to add into my decor! I will be sharing how I incorporated them throughout my home soon! I’m crossing my fingers that I’m able to keep them alive! My wrap sheet to this point is unsuccessful with live plants, but I’m hopeful this go-around. If you don’t want to take the risk with live houseplants, these faux ones are the next best thing!! A lot of times, you can’t even tell the difference!

These little faux plants are the perfect addition to your coffee or side tables, mantel designs, bookshelves, windowsills and added to your kitchen decor, just to name a few! I love adding herbs into the kitchen! I spend a lot of time in my kitchen, so seeing those sweet little plants makes me happy! It’s the little things people!

Do you add faux or real plants to your decor? Share your thoughts by commenting below!

I will be back here soon with an update on my Spring mantel design!

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

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.

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.

Friday Favorites #61

Friday Favorites #61

Welcome to Friday Favorites #61! I am SO happy it’s finally Friday! Can you believe Halloween is already next week? I can’t! My daughter is going as a spooky witch & my son is going as Bob Ross! I can’t wait to dress them up. It’s my favorite thing about Halloween!

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably read my post from the other day about the chaos we’ve been having around our house this week. Last weekend while we had our October Market at our storefront, we found that someone had abandoned a sweet kitty on our property. He was nearly dead, weak & in horrible condition. My mom was able to keep him in her warm office & feed him. He came & went as he wanted, but we couldn’t stand the thoughts of him getting killed by the buys road, so we brought him home!

In bringing him home, we also brought fleas. And let me tell you… I am NOT a bug person. I gave him a couple really good baths & seemed to get rid of them, but come to find out, the other animals picked them up! So, needless to say, in doing our good deed of helping the little guy out, we’ve exposed the others to those pesky irritants. Ok, rant over. We’ll get rid of them, we’ve taken all of the measures to kill them off! And our rescue kitty is well on his way to recovery!

Since Halloween is just in a few days, we’re doing a little Halloween inspiration this week! I hope you enjoy!

Friday Favorites #60

Happy Friday beautiful! It’s time for Friday Favorites #60! It’s a beautiful Fall weekend here in Ohio! This weekend marks our October Market at our storefront! Our store is filled with so many beautiful, unique things! A collective variety of handmade goods, antique & vintage items, cozy flannels, seasonal t-shirts, fashion scarves, jewelry, Fall candles, furniture & SO much more! If you’re a Central Ohio local, stop by & see us! We’re located at 9472 National Road SW. Etna, Ohio 43062. Our October Market hours are today, October 19th & Saturday, October 20th 12-5 pm. We will be sharing our Holiday Market days next week, so be sure to stay tuned for that, as we will be having extended hours for the Holidays!

It’s no secret that we’re busy as ever over here, but does time seem to be flying by to you too? I just can’t believe that we’re almost to Halloween! It’s unfortunate, but we haven’t decorated for Halloween yet & the kids have been itching to! I must make that a priority this weekend! Do you decorate for Halloween? I did a poll on Instagram last week asking that exact question. I was surprised that the majority does not decorate for Halloween! I’ll share what little bit we do on Insta, so make sure you’re following along!

Anyways, this week I was inspired by beautiful, country living! Simple, classic designs that create a calm & tasteful atmosphere!

My Favorite Fall Finds from Amazon

October 8, 2018 by Fotini Filed Under: fall, home decor 1 Comment

Today I wanted to share with you, my favorite fall finds from Amazon! Back when I was regularly blogging about home decor & decorating frequently, I would frequent my favorite stores weekly. Now days, I’m lucky if I make it to the grocery store. At times like that, I appreciate online shopping from places like Amazon! These are neutral pieces that are sure to fit into your farmhouse home decor perfectly!

The weather here in Ohio went from the 90’s one day, to literally the 60’s the next! A typical Ohioan would say, “welcome to Ohio”. I’m not complaining one bit about the dropping temps! I am SO ready for the crisp temps that come with the changing season. The changing of the season’s has me eager to decorate the inside of my home to cozy, romantic comfort!

One of my favorite things to do each evening is light candles! Not only for the scent, but because it creates such a relaxing atmosphere. Our living room is where we spend most of our time in the evenings, so lighting some candles on the mantel after dinner, cozying up on the couch & watching our favorite shows is something I look forward to every day! You could also say I’m pretty cheesy in the sense of, every Fall it’s time to break out our favorite annual Halloween movies! Movies like Casper, Hocus Pocus & The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown ☺️

Incorporating neutral tones is one of the simplest ways to change the decor during the season. For example, if you want to start with this neutral design, then add in some spooky details for Halloween and then simply transition into Thanksgiving decor. You can do so, so easily using these staple decor pieces!

What is your favorite way to bring Fall into your home each season? Do you have traditions that you tend to follow each year when it comes to decorating or incorporating certain pieces?

I would love to hear your remarks! Thanks so much for stopping by & shopping a little bit with me today! I hope to see you back here again soon!
