KXAN:: Thanksgiving Table On A Budget

Pinch me if you may!  I am still in awe, after doing a Thanksgiving segment on KXAN news on Saturday morning.  When I was contacted a couple of months ago and asked to share a budget friendly table setting for Thanksgiving,  I wanted to jump over the moon with excitement!  As the day arrived I felt a lot of nerves, anxiousness and overloads of excitement all in one! (Now that's definitely an emotional bunch that I haven't felt in a long time).  It was completely a surreal experience and with the help of my two sweet assistant planners, Shalyn and Tori we pulled it together and came up with such a fabulous Thanksgiving table for the segment done for $60.00.


I am so blessed to be given this opportunity. Thanks to Catenya from KXAN, I am still smiling from ear to ear......

Wedding Wednesday: DIY Inspiration

A little bit of DIY inspiration for you today while Nycia is away... Maps turned into lovely flowers. Beads turned into a beautiful chandelier. Fringe curtains turned into an ethereal backdrop for a ceremony or reception. It's always fun to find new uses for things.

Fuschia & Turquoise Baby Shower

Last weekend I helped decorate a friends baby shower. I truly had a blast!! Although we don't know baby girls name just yet, being able to shower mommy-to-be with love was such a delight. I truly had a blast!! The colors were Fuschia & Turquoise with chocolate brown accents.

The onesie game was a hit, as always!!

Holiday Mantel Inspired

Are you wanting to dress up your mantel for the holidays? Decorating your mantle for the holidays definitely sets the mood and of course can be the focal point of your space as always. I am pretty excited about sprucing up my mantel this year. What do you plan to do to your mantel for the holidays?

How about this pretty mantel from Pottery Barn

This feathered up mantel that I saw on coco+kelley is so FAB!

I love this mantel with the cranberry filled vases accented with candles. Openhouse.Homegoods
