{Valentine's Day} DECOR

Happy Valentine's Day!

I love Valentine's Day and all the decor. 

Give me all the hearts! 

For my tray, I kept it simple with red/natural wood beads w/tassle & heart, and a wooden "Love Makes a House a HOME" house cut from Hobby Lobby (both on sale), one of my Rae Dunn mugs (CRAZY....for you), some red straws, a little greenery, and 3 wooden candlesticks that I already had. I love the one-tier galvanized tray! It has that farmhouse look and is super cute to decorate for each holiday.

I got this letter board from Kohl's at Christmastime and hung it above my coffee center....and I added a red/white pom-pom garland (again, on sale at Hobby Lobby). The heart coffee stirrers are from Target's dollar spot from a few years ago. I added all of my LOVE themed Rae Dunn mugs on the mug holder.

XOXO

Wreath is a few years old (from Kohl's). It's velvety red flowers pop on the front door!

{a wall a day} spring cleaning

It’s raining...but it’s FRIDAY 🌸 and my kitchen is clean, so it’s all good! 🌿 I started a new Spring Cleaning routine - cleaning ONE wall a day...that’s it! If the wall has a window - I wash it, if it has a closet or cabinets - I clean and organize them. It might take a few minutes or several hours —like the day I had the wall with cabinets, a window, and a dirty oven to clean! 🙈 

I finally found the banner I had hidden from myself 🙄 so the coffee bar is all decked out for St. Patrick’s Day 🍀 and looking pretty SPRINGY! 🌸 

Painting the cabinets white is on my to-do list and I’m dreaming of wood countertops - but for now, a clean kitchen will have to do! 💕

I featured @makingthishouseahome 
on my stories today for #fridayfaves and I’m loving her idea for decorating the top of your fridge, especially the Magnolia wire basket to hold extra Rae Dunn mugs! ☕️ 

I had blocked out a week for the kitchen, but finished in 3 days— so, I’ll move on to another room on Monday, and in the meantime I’ll enjoy the weekend. Happy Friyay everyone! 🌼

desk refresh • day 20 #simplicitychallenge2019 @simplified 

Even though I mostly use my Mac I still can’t part with my desktop 🖥 

• I keep my most-used office supplies in a kitchen drawer that I’m going to scale down on and start storing in these 2 desk drawers instead 

• I swapped out the three mirrors for the farmhouse clock (@hobbylobby)

BOARD & BATTEN:

The board and batten is actually thin strips of wood nailed directly to the drywall. Thicker strips were used at the top. This was a super easy (and CHEAP) project Dad and I did a few years ago. I still love it! I painted the top a dark color and the "board & batten" white.

So, I'm really loving how everyone is doing the rug layering with their door mats...I am currently working on mine! I'll share a pic when I get it done, but in the meantime, here a few of my favorite looks!
