Dwell :: Decorating with Whimsical Pom Poms
There is just something about pom poms that make me happy. The way balloons and Disneyland make me kind of happy! They are just so whimsical and I am loving the trend in home decor using these happy little things! So when I found the cotton pom pom throw above at Marshall’s this week I almost skipped with joy! I’ve been looking forever it seems for the perfect throw for our living room and this one fit the bill perfectly. My husband didn’t quite share my excitement over a throw but you ladies get it right?! When you find just the right item you’ve been looking for it…

Gorgeous DIY Succulent Pumpkin Planters
I honestly love pumpkin season, the smells and the flavors. This cute pumpkin succulent arrangement immediately turns your house into fall season. It also makes a great gift. As soon as the pumpkin starts to rot, simply plant it in your garden. If you need to pot it, just gently pull of the succulents and plant them in your favorite pot. I like to have a selection of different succulents. Definitely look for the little baby flower like succulents but also look for longer ‘flatter’ plants. Spread them out and sort them so you can clearly see what you have. I use moss…

4 Steps to Getting Your Home Shiny and Happy!
This year I’ve been on a mission to get our home decluttered and organized. I’ve read several books that recommend steps for getting and keeping your home organized and drop-by ready. I’ve had more than my share of situations where friends and neighbors stop-by and I have to apologize for the state of the house and I was tired of that. Don’t get me wrong, life happens, houses get messy (and dirty) but I wanted a home that would be 1) happy 2) organized and 3) peaceful. I find when I have less clutter I feel more at peace in my home. How about you? Are you affected emotionally when the house is disorganized and messy? Here are some…

For many years now I have been decorating my home with neutrals. From my light colored grey walls, to wood furniture, I have preferred to stick to neutrals.

The homes I am most drawn to are where we see a mix of textiles, textures and color. Are you finding your tastes are changing as well?

5 Tips for Making Valentine’s Day Extra Special!
My husband and I disagree about Valentine’s Day. He gets overwhelmed (and a bit annoyed) by all the hype surrounding Valentine’s Day and doesn’t get why we need one day to express or show our love to family and friends. He aspires to show this daily and not on just one day. I understand his thinking, but my feeling is to not think you have to go over the top with diamonds, flowers and chocolates (but that’d be nice wouldn’t it?) but, instead think of it as a day of demonstrating how much you care about your family. There is no pressure, just do what you are up to doing, and…
