Adding Greenery to a Family Room

written by Lauren

console table with red lanterns, heart ornaments and faux grass in a white rectangular planter

Thank you to Commercial Silk Int’l for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this blog post.  All opinions are 100% my own. We are almost halfway through winter!  February 2, Ground Hog Day, is the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. To celebrate, I added faux greenery to my living room. I got my greenery from Commercialsilk.com. I chose to get a two-pack of faux grass potted in white rectangular wooden planters. I like how the white brightens up the space, and I enjoy seeing some greenery in the middle of winter. Since Continue reading...

Chinese fans, red envelope and chopsticks from Oriental Trading

Thanks to Oriental Trading for sponsoring this post.I received free product in exchange for my honest review. Happy Chinese New Year's Eve! Tomorrow, many people around the world will be celebrating the Chinese New Year. This year, 2017, is the year of the Rooster. Unlike the American New Year, which starts on the first day of January, the Chinese New Year is based on the lunar calendar and the winter solstice, and falls later than the Western New Year. My husband's parents were born in Korea and immigrated to the United States in the 1960s. My husband's mother always Continue reading...

how to make pillows from placemats

  Every month I join Carrie of Curly Craft Mom in posting a “Currently” post. In these posts, I go beyond my usual decorating, craft and recipe topics and share what I am currently excited about and what’s going on in my life. I’ve seen “Currently” posts by other bloggers, too, and it’s a lot of fun to read what others have been up to. If you published a “Currently” post this month, please share in the comments! Fall Pillows I don't know about you, but I feel like the months have been speeding by. I only have just gotten used to the idea of it being fall Continue reading...

Thanksgiving Console Table

written by Lauren

Be Grateful Thanksgiving pumpkin

This is a sponsored post. Fall merchandise was gifted to me in exchange for this post. All opinions are 100% mine. I can't believe that we're already into November -- this year is flying by. I love to decorate my home for the seasons. One area I especially like to decorate in my home is my living room's console table. The table is an unfinished console table that I stained and painted with chalk paint. I most recently decorated the console table for fall with pumpkins, lanterns and other fun fall items from Oriental Trading.  Decorated Thanksgiving Console Table I started my Continue reading...

Fall Console Table with Lanterns and Pumpkins

written by Lauren

Fall console table with black metal lantern from Oriental Trading

*This post was sponsored by Oriental Trading. I received free product in exchange for my honest review. The console table in my home's living room is one of my favorite furniture pieces in my house. I got an Unfinished Shaker Sofa Table about two years ago and stained it in a dark mahogany and painted the legs a cheery yellow. The table is a great space to decorate for the seasons! This year, I found exactly what I needed to create a fall console table with some great decor from Oriental Trading. I love how my new fall decor from Oriental Trading looks on my home's fall Continue reading...

Chalk-Painted Piano Bench for Front Door Mud Room Area

written by Lauren

chalk painted and stenciled bench

Thanks to Chalkworthy by providing the paint and supplies for this post. All opinions expressed in this post are honest and 100% my own. My family has been needing a place to sit by our home's front door. We have a small mud room area next to our home's front entrance, where we remove our shoes before coming into the house. Not wearing shoes in our house helps keep the carpeting and the house much cleaner! So, I recently chalk painted and stenciled an old piano bench so we have a pretty place to sit! My family and I used to own a piano called an Acrosonic. The piano was great Continue reading...

New Living Room Decor

written by Lauren

Fun items for a bright and sunny living room

Thanks to Lamps Plus and Paint-A-Pillow for sponsoring this post. I received free product in exchange for my honest review, and all opinions expressed in this post are my own. Just last month, I completed a big curb appeal project, in which I add style and function to a front garden area by building a DIY cinder block and wood bench and adding beautiful container gardens. My living room looks out onto that beautiful new space, so I decided that my home's living room could use a makeover, too. The below photo shows my lovely new garden area. It rained shortly after I added my pillows Continue reading...
