QUICK AND EASY TABLE CENTERPIECE

Lately, I've been itching for something different for a table centerpiece.


So when I was in Walmart recently, I saw some bushes of artificial carnations
for $8.00 each.  Each bush had 8 carnations on it, so I bought two.


I cut the bushes into individual stems to make my arrangement.
I simply placed the stems in my Ikea white enamel pitcher and played
around with them until I was happy with the look.


Then I added a cream colored burlap ribbon around the pitcher,
just tying it in a knot.


I really like the texture that the burlap ribbon adds and
also how the shades of white and cream look together.
So easy and inexpensive too!
It's also nice that it's lightweight and simple to remove from
the table when it's time for dinner.

Have you done any quick and easy projects lately?

Thanks A Bunch For Visiting!

    Those look so real! I haven't done as much lately as I should. Getting my groove back though.

    I'm really starting to get into the soothing look of white, creams, and neutrals--it definitely has a calming effect. Such a pretty bouquet!

    I love your centerpiece. I'm working on one for my table, too. I bought flowers at the Dollar Tree and I think I'll take them back and trade for a different color. Maybe. Thanks for sharing your table with us.

    Love the flowers in your white pitcher...they really do look like real flowers and the burlap ribbon is the perfect touch. It looks so pretty on your table.

    This is so simple and pretty, JoAnne! I have the same pitcher from Ikea and I have never filled it with anything. Isn't that weird? I have to come up with some thing like this. So great!

    Don't you love it that simple is the best and most times the prettiest decoration you could find? Your pitcher got my eye and the carnations do look real, great idea. Burlap ribbon is great for adding that little touch, makes such a difference. I've noticed that white burlap is not white most times, more a cream color which is perfect. Enjoy your lovely centerpiece.
    I'm going to have to visit the IKEA site so I can look for white pitchers. No IKEA here at all. Happy week

Blue Kitchen Cabinets 2017

I have done a couple posts on kitchens with blue cabinetry in the past, after all it is my favorite color. It has been awhile though, so today I have rounded up some more  amazing kitchens with cottage style that also incorporate blue in  the design. source The kitchen above and the one below have white upper cabinets and soft shades of blue on the lower ones. This is a nice way to use blue without going overboard or ending up with something that you would get tired of quickly. source source Finding the right shade of blue would be key and using a lot of white and wood tones along with it creates a beautiful and timeless look. source source Isn't the kitchen above just so very unique? It has sort of a french country feeling but in an updated way. Wish there was a better picture of the script that's on the wall  on the right. source This kitchen is from Remodelondo la Casa and I've always thought the...

Family Room Reveal

Hello Everyone! I've been meaning to post about our updated family room for a very long time and I'm  finally doing it - yeah!! I had been ready to replace our brown leather furniture for a while and when a new Ikea opened very close to us last summer, I jumped at the chance to take a good look at their slipcovered furniture. Originally the plan was to buy another sofa and loveseat like we had but when I  saw the Ektorp sectional on the showroom floor at Ikea, I was sold.   It just seemed so cozy and I could really envision it in our family room. As you can see, we purchased the sectional with the white slipcover. You just can't beat the prices at Ikea and the quality is definitely good enough for us. I'm at a point where I don't want to buy expensive furniture that I feel like I have to keep forever.   We even had the sofa delivered and they took away the old sofa and loveseat  for a very small fee. We purchased...

AFFORDABLE WALL DECOR

Hi Everyone, One of the things I find the most difficult about decorating is finding wall decor that I like and is also affordable. That is one of the main things that I am always on the hunt for and sometimes I have to come up with some creative ideas. Just yesterday, I found this beautiful image of a  white hydrangea at The Graphics Fairy . The Graphics Fairy I printed it out in a size that would fit in a frame that  I already had.  I think it looks so pretty in the simple white frame. I'm probably going to hang it in our bedroom. I'm making a few small changes in there and I will show you when it's completed. This star is actually from the garden section of our local Meijer store.  It was originally silver metal and I spray painted it white. I have seen a lot of people decorate with bread boards. This one fit perfectly in the narrow space between my  cabinet and window and I love the warmth of the wood. ...
