Friday Favorites #11

April 14, 2017 by Fotini Filed Under: Pinterest

Hey friend! How are you today? I’m doing great since it’s Friday 🙂 I always look forward to the weekend! And this weekend is a special weekend for our family, it’s Easter! I love celebrating Easter! We have family coming in from Maryland to spend the holiday with us, and they will be taking my grandparents (from Greece) with them for a week before they head back to Greece. We’ve had a wonderful, memory- filled visit with them these last 7 weeks! My goal for the next year, is to save enough money to take the kids to Greece for a couple weeks! I’ve only been once when I was 12. I’m dying to go back!

Terra Cotta Pot Wreath

April 10, 2017 by Fotini Filed Under: diy 1 Comment

Spring rolls around and I’m changing the wreath on my front door to pretty much go with my moods… Ok, you’re right, not that much 😉 But I am changing them a good bit! For well over a year now, I’ve had a Southern Living magazine clipping hanging on my fridge. Yes, I’m one of those that still clip my favorite ideas and inspiration out of a magazine and hold onto it until I’m ready to conquer the project. I’ve been doing that way before the days of Pinterest!

That little magazine clipping was of a garden pot wreath. I just loved how it looked, so I wanted to recreate it. The day has finally come, after all this time! I’m finally sharing with you my terra cotta pot wreath!  [Read more…]

10 Farmhouse Kitchen Lantern Options

March 20, 2017 by Fotini Filed Under: kitchen Leave a Comment

I’m going to have a very small budget for updating our kitchen lighting. The reason being, is we plan to move in the next 2 years (hopefully to a farmhouse!), and I don’t want to deplete my budget on lighting. I want to keep it simple but in sync with the farmhouse style! Today I’m sharing with you 10 farmhouse kitchen lantern options that I’m picturing for my kitchen renovation! #farmhousechicblogreno.

//  // // .//

// 7. // 8. // 9. //

The above options are affordable and right up the alley of what I have in mind! I love the look of the oil rubbed bronze or black lantern lighting hanging above the kitchen island. I currently have 3 mercury glass pendant lights, but they do not produce enough light. The plan is to find two smaller, 10 inch size, lanterns to hang in its place.

I’m always on the search for items that fit my style and budget! If you’re in search for something similar, I hope that this will take some of the hard work out for you! It can be a real pain sometimes, searching through all the options out there!

What do you think about the lantern pendant idea for above my island? I’m always looking for opinions, so feel free to share yours!

Thanks so much for stopping by! See you next time.

Getting ready for Spring!

March 14, 2017 by Fotini Filed Under: home, Spring Leave a Comment

By the time March rolls around, I am eager to get into the Spring cleaning mode! Instead of jumping in head first and completely overwhelming myself, I do my cleaning slowly and room-by-room. It’s much easier this way, believe me! Since it’s mid-March and the days are still chilly here in Ohio, I’ve decided to get started on my Spring cleaning! Today I’m going to share with you some of my fail-proof cleaning tips and favorite products to use throughout the kitchen and bathroom!

I’ve always been one to incorporate scents matching the current season throughout my home. With Spring soon approaching, I love adding floral scents like Mrs. Meyer’s Peony scent. Mm, it smells amazing and so fresh! The Peony scent is what I currently have in my kitchen and downstairs half bath. If you’re interested in the exact products I’m using, grab this free seasonal set of Mrs. Meyer’s Spring soaps + Grove Collaborative glass spray bottle + walnut scrubber sponges from Grove Collaborative!

I love ordering my products from Grove Collaborative every month! Within days, they’re on my doorstep. What I love even more than that, is that the products are non-toxic and all-natural! The above offer is a phenomenal opportunity for new customers! If you’re already a Grove Collaborative customer we’ve got a little something special for you too! Click here.

Now here’s how I tackle my Spring cleaning room-by-room. Prep for cleaning by gathering your cleaning supplies together in a caddy or bucket. That way it’s all right there for you!

Kitchen:

  • Clean things like the coffee pot that may not get cleaned regularly. Fill the water chamber with a 50/50 mix of water and vinegar and run a brewing cycle. Brew at least 3 pots of clean water to ensure vinegar is rinsed out. Clean the carafe with Mrs. Meyer’s dish soap.
  • Clean any food splashes or spills on cabinets and countertops by filling a microwavable safe bowl with sliced lemon and water, bring to a boil (about 3 minutes), allow steam to release for a couple minutes. Add it to your Grove Collaborative glass spray bottle and wipe it clean using a clean towel.
  • Toss out any old sponges you have lying around. Replace them with Grove Collaborative walnut scrubber sponges. Replace sponges monthly.

Bathroom:

  • Invite Spring into your bathroom by adding Mrs. Meyer’s Peony or Lilac hand soap. Add a clean, new towel to freshen up the space without effort!
  • Using the above mixture of hot water and fresh lemon, clean any unwanted surface stains on the walls or vanity.
  • Clean around the toilet using Method Antibac bathroom cleaner. Next, scrub the toilet using Method toilet cleaner. It has a delightful spearmint scent!

Don’t miss your chance to get this great offer from Grove Collaborative, offer ends Sunday March 19th 6 pm PST. Grab your free set now!
