Ideas to make your home brighter & your heart lighter
Today, I’m handing over control of the blog featuring my good friend, Barb Garrett of The Everyday Home. Barb was so kind to share a sneak peek at her eggs-cellent Easter mantel. I am totally in love with everything about her Easter decor, but particularly this guy: His name is Beaumont, and I am smitten! [...]
I have a bit of a split personality when it comes to accessorizing. I love traditional and fancy, but I also love touches of rustic and vintage. Who says you can’t showcase it all? For my Easter table, I’m serving up comfort and class, mixing blue Mason jars, a simple muslin table runner and casual [...]

I’d seen some tutorials online for how to make faux mercury glass, and I felt certain that I could create an inexpensive version of this tree for [...]
I’ve been slowly putting out my Easter decor, and I thought I’d show you some of the handmade touches I’m incorporating into my holiday decorating.
