Simple Summer Tablescape

It’s a bright and sunny Saturday!

We’re having beautiful summer weather!

I just finished doing a little prep for our Saturday dinner.  I picked up some sale items at Hobby Lobby and couldn’t resist styling my table with them!  Even if it’s just for the two of us.

A couple of the succulents were used as cute napkin rings, and the green dish cloths work as napkins. I shopped my home for the other items to complete this simple look.  

I used a couple of white cloth napkins under each place setting, used my everyday dishes, and my golden tableware from Target!  It doesn't have to be expensive to look nice!  I set a pretty table using what I had on hand and a few bargain priced items.  Easy low cost decorating at it best!

Setting a pretty table is one of my favorite things to do!  And, I believe it makes a meal taste even better!

~ Happy Saturday and Happy Weekend...

Pillow Covers

Do you love pillows?  Well, I certainly do!

::: Here’s my tip of the day!:::

Pillow covers make it so easy to change your decor.  And, they take up much less space when not in use.  They’re very cost effective too!  All you need is the basic pillow insert(s) and the pillow cover(s).

I couldn’t resist this sweet roses pillow cover.  I purchased it at Hobby Lobby, you know I love me some Hobby Lobby!  I wasn’t quite sure if I’d love it when I got it home, but guess what? ...I do, I do!  I really do LOVE it!  I love the frayed rosettes, they are so cute.  

It works perfectly here where I wanted to use it!  I love it when that happens!  Now I'm thinking I should have at least two of them!?

Happy decorating!...

"Summer" Styling on Our Fireplace & Mantel

Sometimes all that is needed is just a few changes to make things fresh and new!  I found some beautiful corbels at Hobby Lobby and changed them out from the ones I'd had up on the wall above the mantel.  A new wreath I purchased back in the Spring was moved over here, also some newly thrifted planters and plants add some nice greenery to go with my beautiful wreath.  I shopped my home for the other accessories to pull this Summer look all together!

Here's a closer view of my wreath and mantel decor.  I’ve enjoyed displaying this beautiful wreath.  It’s a favorite find from Kirkland’s.  I love it and how it has worked well for both Spring and Summer!  It has become a new favorite on mine!

Speaking of favorites ... Summer you are my favorite!:)   

I dream of summers that last forever...
