Simple Decor For A Half Bath
We are one week closer to Christmas! Can you believe it?!! Is everyone decorated and ready to go? I have everything done except my table scapes which I plan to do tomorrow night. Over the next few weeks, I plan on showing you more of the house and I thought this couldn't be a better time to show you our half bath on the first floor. This room was a plain boring off white room with no decor when we bought the house. I finally got this room done and then it was time to decorate for the...
How To Create A Christmas Wreath
We got our first big snowfall today...well, it was like an inch but it was pretty!! Waking up to snow falling, the tree on, and a hot cup of coffee in hand...that's a relaxing morning :-). I went shopping with my sister today and as we backed out of the driveway, I looked at my cute little front porch that I just decorated and thought...what a fun post to do for tomorrow! I bought the wreath and ribbon at Hobby Lobby for 50% off each, found flowers at Walmart and put it together. I picked...
How To Create A Cheese Tray For 8 People
It's almost 10:00 pm and Thanksgiving is almost over. We had a great day visiting with my family and my sister's in-laws. We had 8 people all enjoying a lot of delicious food full of flavor and variety. I brought the appetizers which was perfect because I got to use up the packets of dry dip mixes I bought in Sugarcreek, OH. They had these little dip pots with different dips and chips and I grabbed a few packets for the holidays. I mixed a bacon and cheese dip with cream cheese, sour...
Blessings At Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone is looking forward to a day full of delicious food, spending time with loved ones, doing something special, and sharing in all the blessings. I had a wonderful surprise come this afternoon in a box signed by a special someone who I have worked with over the last several months. It came from Kaila Piepkow, owner of Dox Design, who gave my website a facelift and created my new logo. When I opened the box, inside was something for Jake, Maggie, and myself....
My turkey table!
Can you believe it is November 6th already?!!! I've said over and over that I love the fall weather we have been having but I'm sad now because...guess what...we are getting snow tomorrow :-(. Thanksgiving is right around the corner and what better way to cheer myself up but to decorate my "turkey table". I spent this afternoon putting away my pumpkin decor and pulling out the turkeys!! I got the table done just in time for the sun to set and to get some fun pictures! Enjoy!!! Can you...
Holiday Gift Ideas Part 2
I hope you enjoyed my previous post on Holiday Gift Ideas and wanted to share more with you. It all depends on how much you want to spend and how elaborate you want to go, but here are some gift basket ideas that might appeal to you. And we must not forget to give the gift receipts just incase your friends and family need to return anything! I never get offended when someone returns my gift. I want them to enjoy it and if they don’t like it, I want them to get something that they will...
Creating A Pumpkin Tablescape
Happy Wednesday everyone!!! I was asked to repost my pumpkin table from last year so here it is. I absolutely love these pumpkin dishes. Not only were they reasonably priced, they are not heavy, are dishwasher safe, and so colorful. Pair them with hints of blues and turquoise for a non-traditional look or stay true to fall colors with golds, oranges/rust, and even red! Use a solid tablecloth in green to make the table pop! When shopping for fall decor, don't hesitate to stop at Walmart...
Fall is here!!! It’s pumpkin time!!
I've been saying since the beginning of September how I can't wait to decorate for fall!! No...take that back...I've been ready since August LOL. I'm so ready to see the leaves change colors. I love the crisp fall air and the smell of baked apple pies!!! There is just something about fall that makes everything feel "cozy". I even created a "Pinterest Board" called "Fall Season My Favorite Season". Check out all of my boards at www.pinterest.com/twoadorablelabs.com. I've been anxiously...
My “September Sunflower” Table
I'm getting so excited...summer is almost over and fall (my favorite time of the year) is right around the corner! I'm already thinking about how I'm going to decorate and when I found these sunflower dishes at Home Goods, I had to have them. Well, I can't take all the credit...my aunt actually saw them for me and I scooped them all up into my cart! I already had the pitcher and serving dish from a few years ago when I went shopping at the Home Goods in Kirkwood, Missouri. I had used them...
Flowers and Sunshine
I started the “What I’m Loving” posts because these are things, people, and places that I find enjoyment in and want to share them with you. We all lead busy lives and sometimes it is nice just to take a moment and try to enjoy what you have. We lose things, find them again, sometimes in the most unique unsuspecting places. Friendships come and go and only the true remain. I am so grateful for my sister and the bond we have built together. She makes me laugh and when I think of her, I...
How to stain your front door.
I finally got around to staining our front door. Between all the rain this summer and me procrastinating in getting the door done, it was starting to look pretty bad! We have a solid wood door that takes direct weather all year around so I got out the steel wool and paint supplies and went to work. I like to paint and I love to stain but what was fun was to have Jake and Maggie right there with me through the entire process. The door was open so they could watch the neighborhood and I...
Two Adorable Labs Celebrating Independence Day
This is a re-post and update: Last year we celebrated July 4th with family. We had a blast celebrating it with the pups and family. It was a great day surrounded by the people we love. We cooked on the grill...well, actually our cousin cooked for us on the grill (because he is an awesome grill master) and we enjoyed steak, shrimp skewers, green beans, and salad. I also made my mother's macaroni salad and a side of sautéed portobello mushrooms and onions for the steak. What does July...
