Easter Table 2022
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter. This holiday snuck up on me so fast. I had created this Easter Table a week ago and thinking I had another week to post, I left it sitting to work on. Then all of a sudden Easter was here and we were on our way to the Grand Concourse for their Easter buffet in Pittsburgh. It’s Sunday night and I figured why not post it any way. If you like it, save it for next year for your 2023 Easter tablescape ideas! If you live in the...
How Color Can Transform A Room
Happy Wednesday everyone! Today I’m talking about how color can transform a room. When we moved into our house, I had the dining room painted the same color as the baseboards which is an off white. After a while, I couldn’t stand it but wasn’t sure what direction I wanted to go. Did I want bold, bright? Did I want sage green, pale yellow, or did I want shades of salmon? Our dining room sat for almost a year a plain off white while I worked on other projects but I admit I would stand at...
Soy Wax Vs. Beeswax
Happy Monday everyone! Two Adorable Labs has collaborated with Sweet Home Vanilla to bring you the ins and outs of burning soy wax vs beeswax candles. I met Amanda Vos, Owner of Sweet Home Vanilla, last year and feel in love with her product. So much so, that I did a post (HERE) on making her vanilla and added it to my Holiday Gift Ideas 2021 post. We decided to collaborate talking about recipes using vanilla (coming soon), cleaning tips using vanilla (coming soon), and our experiences...
Basement Bathroom Revive And Refresh
Happy Monday everyone! I’m so excited to reveal my Basement Bathroom Revive And Refresh project on the blog today. Mr. TAL and I have worked together over the last several months to update our basement making it a space that we can enjoy together. This bathroom was a plain Jane, standard builder grade bathroom that needed to blend better with the rest of the basement. I was a bit nervous picking such a dark color in a room this small but wanted to pick up the red in our area rug in the...

Christmas Table 2021
Happy Thursday everyone! Today on the blog is my Christmas Table 2021. I am using my same dishes from last year HERE but this year I really thought about how many dishes I would actually need based on the meal I plan to make. I decorated my tables early this year but already had most of my menu planned out. I've added soup to the menu this year so I was sure to add a bowl for that. It is ok to put out dishes that do double duty like the ramekins that I plan to use for my dessert. When...
Christmas Eve Table 2021
This is a re-post which is updated and with links added: Happy Monday everyone! Today on the blog is my Christmas Even Tablescape 2021.

My favorite color is red and these Pioneer Woman Holiday dishes are the perfect color for this year’s theme of red, white, green, and gold. I love a...
How To Keep Your Natural Trees And Fresh Greens Healthy Over The Holidays
This is a re-post with more links added: Happy Tuesday everyone!! How To Keep Your Natural Trees And Fresh Greens Healthy Over The Holidays. In my post on Monday, I talked about the types of holiday plants toxic to your pet and thought this would be a nice follow-up to that blog post. I love a natural look around the holidays on the outside of the house. This year, I used faux decor in front on the porch but next year, I hope to extend my decor across the front and along side the garage....
What Holiday Plants Are Toxic To Pets?
This is a re-post with more information and links added: Happy Monday everyone! On the blog today is What Holiday Plants Are Toxic To Pets? I absolutely love natural greenery around the outside of the house but prefer a fake tree inside so the dogs are safer there.

I’m here to give you the run down and what to consider when decorating and gift giving...
Giving Table For Two
Happy Wednesday everyone! Today’s post is all about setting an elegant but simple table with this “Giving Table For Two”. Who would think these spotted cream and black dishes from Walmart by Thyme and Table would pair well with dusty blue from Pottery Barn but they do! You might not have these exact dishes but don’t be afraid to mix and match what you do have! Have fun creating a color combination no one would think of. If you have decided to keep things small this year for Thanksgiving,...
