Friday favorites

Happy Friday! You made it to the weekend and we are almost in December!

I have some fun things for you for this weeks Friday favorites.

First up is these leggings. I bought them in the faux leather and holy cow, they are so comfortable and flattering! Anything with the word Spanx in it, I'm in!

This year I am putting together a "gross but fabulous" gift package for my mom and sister. Hopefully they won't be reading this!

These are 3 beauty items that I love but are kinda gross. Did that spark your interest?

#1- These will make your feet feel like a babies butt, but only after something kinda nasty happens.

#2- This is the least gross. I use these on my face, not eyebrows.

and finally, 

#3- This exfoliant goes on a dry face and dead skin will literally fall right off leaving your skin super smooth. 

I am loving all the holiday decor on this site. Actually I love everything from all the different catagories.

Looking to spruce up your bedroom? Check this out for some great ideas.

I just received an early Christmas present in the mail! This is a beauty, I can't wait to use her!!!

These mules are a must have, oh my!

Here is a cool thing- Amazon kicked off Giving Tuesday by launching a new, easy way for customers to donate a toy to a child in need. Customers can now donate a toy to Toys for Tots via Alexa by simply saying, “Alexa, donate to Toys for Tots.” This is the first time that customers can donate a product to a charity via voice shopping and better yet, Amazon will be matching customer donations throughout the end of the year – toy for toy – doubling customers’ contributions!

Have a great weekend friends!

holiday housewalk 2018

Welcome to the holiday housewalk 2018!

To start from the beginning and to catch up on all the beautiful holiday homes, go to Jennifer Rizzos blog for the full lineup.

Are you coming from Lucy's home, Craftberry Bush?

I just love her style so much, she is such an inspiration!

One thing I love about seeing all these homes is the wide variety of styles. There's something for just about everyone. From traditional decor, to neutral tones, to bright and vibrant colors. We've got you covered. 

Our home is definitely on the more neutral side, with pops of subtle colors. I like to work Christmas decor into our home in a seamless manor so it looks like it isn't too forced. I also like to enjoy the season to the fullest and not spend every day decorating it. 

If you are new here, welcome. I hope you become a lifelong reader! If you have been following me for a while, welcome back!

I will start with our entry.  I showed you how we created a farmhouse feel in this post here.

Today I want to show you a different look.

Our entry is covered in white twinkly lights, faux snow, and white birch logs.

I flanked the doors with faux birch trees with little twinkling lights. Each window has a white paper star which looks so pretty at night. 

I continued the birch logs with bundles in buckets.

The faux snow adds a fun touch don't you think?

Behind those doors is the living room. I have added a lot of white and galvanized Christmas goodies, and a flocked tree.

The kitchen might be one of my favorite rooms this year. To see even more photos, click here.

You can get the printable to my little sign right here.
It reads, "sugar & spice are making the holidays nice"

I decorated our dining room with bottle brush trees, vintage deer figurines, and mini houses covered in snow. You can get the sources and see more photos here.

 I hope you liked touring our home all decked out. To see our bedroom click here.

Now, please stop by Traci's beautiful home, she's up next on the tours!

Christmas bedroom decor ideas

I love making bedrooms cozy this time of year. I usually put a tree up in our room, but this year I went way more simple and I'm kinda loving it!

At the end of this post there will be links to many more Christmas bedroom decor ideas, so be sure to check them out!

We like to watch movies in bed at night and I thought it would be fun to make it a little romantic with a holiday cocktail. I used a vintage silver champagne bucket on a silver tray. It adds a bit of sparkle to the room too. 

 I created a little Christmas vignette on this new tray. I got the little white tree here and simply added in a few bottle brush trees, a yummy candle, and a bead garland.

For our bed I just added 2 new Love & Peace shams and a sparkly holiday pillow.

That's it!

I hope you like our simple holiday bedroom. It's very cozy and we love it.

updated Christmas kitchen tour

Since my last post on our Christmas kitchen, I have added a few more things!

I am also joining in with Pink Peppermint Designs to share with you a plethora of fun holiday kitchen designs. Let's get right to it!


I hung these Merry & Bright metal letter discs from ribbon along our window. I love the dimension they add. I cannot wait till I see snow out that window!

I also found this wool rug runner at a thrift store of all places! I was so happy when I found it, I think I literally jumped for joy!
The neutral colors are perfect and the texture adds so much to the room.

I had a lot of questions on this deer hanging on the wall. I got him a few years ago at World Market. 
I don't see it there anymore unfortunately. The preserved boxwood wreath is from here, and then I simply added a bow with ribbons and a vintage ornament to finish it off.

My coffee station still remains one of my favorite things in our home.

You can find a similar Noel piece right here. I just love ours.

I collect these wooden bowls. I find them at thrift stores or flea markets, but they also have some here.

You can read more about my coffee bar set up here.

ideas for Christmas porch decorating

Hello and happy Monday!

I am kicking this week off with ideas for Christmas porch decorating. 

I created three different looks this year for you to gather inspiration from. I had so much fun putting together three distinct looks. 

Back in September I partnered with Molbaks to bring you the My Sweet Savannah front door package. You can read all about that here to refresh your memory.

I loved those pots so much and wanted to carry them into my winter decor. So working with Molbaks again, I have added to them, to bring you three whole new looks. 

Today I am sharing the first one with you.

1. FARMHOUSE CHIC

The first look I created is very fun. It includes lots of traditional reds and greens with touches of farmhouse thrown in. 

Again, I started with my potted plants and then added fresh cedar garland around the door.

Then I wove in a garland of cotton, attached red snowflake ornaments sporadically, and finally, added galvanized bells. 

ADDING IN THE DETAILS

Then came the fun part of adding in the details. 

I added two wreaths to the door and sprinkled in some red berries.

These wreaths are not real, but you would never know. I love Christmas items that I can use year after year. 

Two red trucks that scream farmhouse were nestled in around the pots.

More galvanized pieces like this giant bell and post box add to that farmhouse look.

Welcome mats, a touch of plaid ribbon, and a wooden star complete the front porch farmhouse look.

WHAT TO PLANT

The two largest pots are planted with Nandina. Very shortly the leaves will turn a beautiful red.

To really bring in that traditional Christmas look, I added 2 rosemary plants in the shape of Christmas trees. They look so cute and smell so good.

The little trees in the bed of the truck are fake, so win win, I can use them elsewhere and bring them out year after year. I love how the base of them is covered in burlap. 

The white flower adds a bit of brightness and ties into the cotton garland. 

I will be back with look number 2 next week!
