FIVE FRIDAY FAVORITES

Happy Friday everyone!  So excited to share my Five Friday Favorites with you today, it's a good one! These floral pillows were sent to me by mistake when I ordered a different pattern, but I loved the colors so much I kept them!   They are a designer inspired design, but the fabric is a sturdy synthetic and suitable for indoor or outdoor.   The sister pattern that I bought has been on my patio for well over a year in full sun at times every day and hasn't faded one bit.   Always use inserts 2” larger than your pillow cover for a full, plump pillow!  I like these down inserts , or try these if down allergies are a concern. Navy Floral Pillow Covers  ||  Similar Blue and White Dot Euro Pillow Covers   ||  Similar Blue Chambray Pillow   ||  Similar Pink and Orange Pillow   ||  White Feather Juju Hat I'm seeing so much green and blue and bright colors in fashion this year and I'm here for it!  Emily picked out this dress to wear for Easter and it's a great one!  She...

NEW PINK CHAIRS (AGAIN!)

I've got a curve ball for you today that I haven't shared yet...  I sold my hot pink chairs!   I know, I know.  I loved my hot pink club chairs.  You loved my hot pink club chairs.  We just decided we wanted a different style of chair.  The club chairs were pretty wide and deep and took up a lot of room, and we were interested in some swivel/glider chairs instead.   I looked to purchase new, but couldn't find anything I really liked and new furniture is SO expensive.  I kept an eye on FB Marketplace and came across these- Aside from the fabric reminding me of the olive green velvet striped couch my family had growing up, they were in great shape and made by CR Laine, a quality brand that was much more high end than the new ones I was looking at in furniture stores!  We scooped them up and moved them in just to try out for a few days to make sure we liked them before going to the trouble of recovering them.   Then, they sat in my garage for over a year while I looked for fab...

FRONT PORCH SPRING REFRESH FOR THE NEWLYWEDS!

This post is sponsored by Hobby Lobby. It's hard to believe that our newlyweds have almost been married for 6 months!  They are living in the most charming little rental house in a historic part of town and loving life together.   They have been working hard to make the inside of their house a home, but their adorable front porch needed some attention and a refresh now that the weather is warming up and they'll be spending more time outside.  Kenzi was gracious to let her Mother-in-Law jump in and agreed to let me help spruce it up for Spring and Summer!    😄 Caleb and Kenzi have a darling Golden pup (he's already big but will turn 1 later this month) and they spend quite a bit of time outdoors with him or walking in one of their nearby parks.  They have also been entertaining fairly often, so we wanted to make their front porch not only welcoming for guests but also a comfortable spot for them to relax and enjoy being outside in their neighborhood.  We started with a pret...

HE IS RISEN! CHEERY EASTER TABLE 2024

Hello everyone, we've officially made it to Spring!  I'm so happy to be sharing my Easter Table with you today.  As usual, for the most part I used what I already had and I always try to mix and match things a little differently.  I sourced everything I could all together at the end of the post.   I did buy a new tableclot h, I think I'm officially collecting gingham ones in every color!  This one has the cutest scallop edge.  It's the most polyester of polyesters, but that means it's super easy care and basically indestructible.   Oops, I also bought some new placemats/chargers.  😂  I shared these with you in last week's Five Friday Favorites.   I've long admired their  pricey inspiration ($100+ for 4!) but came across these at 2/$10 and scooped them up fast!   These little vintage lamb salt cellars are adorable, I found them at an estate sale in my neighborhood years ago.  They're more decorative for me than utilitarian, but I love using them at Ea...
