Kitchen Eating Area Refresh

Haaapppy Wednesday!! I took a short breather from blogging, but I’m back today to share with you our eating area. I realized that I haven’t shared this space with you guys since Christmas. I decided to keep it light and airy and maybe even a little springy in here. If you saw my latest flea market finds, I decided to use this oversized vintage basket in the middle of my table with some flowy stems coming out the top. I love a basket centerpiece because it creates texture. It’s also super easy to move when we need to, so I’m loving it here for now. When deciding to redecorate a space, I always find something that helps inspire the entire space. It’s safe to say when I spotted this basket, I knew my kitchen eating area needed it, and I love how it inspired the entire design in this area.

Bless This Nest Booth Update

Happy Tuesday!! So, I realized when I was getting my booth ready for spring this past weekend that I haven’t shared an update on my Bless This Nest booth in a while. My booth is in 112 Antique Mall in Crossplains, TN. That’s about 30 minutes north of Nashville. I’ve had a booth for about 2 years and love every minute of it! I even shared a few tips to starting your own antique booth HERE. It’s another place for me to express myself and my style. So, like I was saying, I went up there this past weekend to bring a few of my latest finds. Although it’s only the beginning of February, I thought it already needed some spring touches. I am going to share with you some furniture and home decor items I love for spring and give you a few ideas on how to use them in your home for spring.

My Favorite 5 Minute Party Dip

Hey hey friends and happy February!!!! So today, I thought it would be fun to mix it up a little bit and share with you my favorite 5 minute party dip recipe since Super Bowl Sunday is only a couple of days away. If you are anything like me, I sometimes struggle to find a side to bring to a party or gathering. This has quickly turned into my go-to dip because it is SO YUMMY, so easy to make, and literally takes 5 minutes or less to make. I promise, this dip will be a huge hit at any party, family reunion, or gathering of friends. It is a family favorite, and I hope you love it as much as we do!!

Getting Organized With Kirkland’s- Kitchen Desk Area

This post is sponsored by Kirkland’s, but all opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that make this blog possible.

So, I finally figured it out. I have been racking my brain trying to figure out a word for 2019. I’ve never done this before, but I thought it sounded fun and like something that could really help me meet my goals in the new year. Hey, it’s worth a shot. So the word I chose is INTENTIONAL. Why? Well, for lots of reasons but one answer would be because planning and having a purpose for tasks is part of my New Year’s resolution and part of that involves getting my house finally organized. Not just clean but REALLY organizing every area that feels out of control. One area that I am starting with is this “catch all” desk area in my kitchen. This spot gets all the homework, bills, change, toys, random socks……etc. You get the idea. It stays and mess all the time, and I’m SO ready for a change. My goal is to be more intentional and to finally use this space for what it’s made for. So, I got busy weeding out old papers and bills and started with a clean slate. Then, I headed to Kirkland’s  (my go-to place for all things home) to find the perfect storage and organization for this area. I can’t wait to show you how it looks now!!!

My Farmhouse Style Favorite Paint Colors- Home Tour

The number one FAQ that I get is about my house paint colors, so today, I wanted to go through each room and share my favorite farmhouse style paint colors. Choosing the right paint color is so HARD for me, just ask my husband. I’ll admit that I don’t have the best track record when it comes to choosing paint colors. I think we have painted and repainted almost every room in the three houses that we have lived in. Oops!! I usually end up either getting tired of a color or it doesn’t look the same on the walls compared to the paint sample. Well friends, the good news is that I think I have finally got it right (for now), and I love all of the colors that are currently in my home!

My Favorite Laundry Room Decor and Must Haves

Hey friends and happy Wednesday!! Today I am talking all things laundry, and I’m so excited to share with you my laundry room and how I keep it organized and pretty at the same time. If you’ve been around for a while, you remember I shared my laundry room in a post a while back and showed you what my laundry room looked like when I moved into my home. You can see the BEFORE picture HERE. It was pretty awful. I think a laundry room should be a pretty and functional space. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, but I do believe it should be a place that makes you feel happy and relaxed. That was my goal when I started transforming my laundry room. I turned it into a room that I absolutely love. Today, I hope this post will motivate you to add a few pieces of decor or even get it a little bit more organized. Trust me, a little decor and organization goes a long way in a laundry room.
