How I Decorated Our Mantel For The Holidays

| Home Decor

I know most people wait until at least after Thanksgiving to decorate for the Holidays and normally I do to but this year I just couldn’t wait. I feel like every year we start “holiday” earlier and earlier, I especially feel this way working in retail. When I purchased our King of Christmas tree in early November I needed to set it up right away in fear it would be too big and I would need to exchange for the slim size. Once it was set up I did not want to take it down and after I fell in love with the flocked look I wanted more.

King Of Christmas Flocked Tree

| Home Decor

I took the plunge and purchased the King of Christmas King flocked 7.5ft Christmas Tree and I am obsessed! I am so happy with my purchase and here is why!

  1. Its pre-lite: so I do not have to spend time stringing the lights
  2. Easy set up: From the time my husband and I opened the box the tree was together in about 5 minutes. It was so easy and power pole in the best part. All you have to do is plug in the bottom and as the poles from each of the three sections connect they lights turn on. There is also a foot peddle to turn the power on so there is no need to crawl on the ground to plug and and unplug the tree.
  3. The Flock: I am not going to lie, fresh out of the box a good amount of the flock came off but for me that was expected. Once we had it set up and fluffed the flock slowly stopped coming off. Today (which is about two weeks from the day we set it up) ZERO flock comes off!!
  4. It looks real:  For a fake tree this is WELL worth the money the quality is amazing and I really just can’t stop looking at it. Its just so pretty!

All in all I was very nervous to spend the money on the tree without seeing, touching or really knowing what it was going to look like in my home but I have no regrets! This was a good purchase.

Now its time to decorate it!

Pottery Barn Holiday Picks

| Home Decor

I am a lover of all things Holiday so as soon as the Pottery Barn holiday catalog came out I was stoked. I am the type of person that still loves flipping through a paper catalog. Some of my favorite memories are still with my family on Thanksgiving flipping through all the Black Friday catalogs picks out the best deals and deciding where to run out to shop! Also as a kid flipping through the gigantic JC Penny catalog circling all the toys we wanted that year. So I still subscribe to paper catalogs and Look to look through each and every one! That enough blabbering about catalogs now for what I am loving this season!

Dressing Room

| Lifestyle

Once the fall season started I was on a mission to clean out my closet! Well that didn’t really happen but what I DID do was set up my own dressing room in an empty part of our bedroom! I got two clothing racks from Ikea and set up all my seasonal cloths on one side. Then added a vanity with all my beauty products on the other! This set up has made my life SO much easier and organized! Plus Justin is no longer complaining of the clutter 🙂 What do you think?!

Celiacs Series: Being Diagnosed

| Lifestyle

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Welcome friends!

As most of you know I was diagnosed with Celiacs Disease in August 2016. I was 25 when I had to completely change my diet to be gluten free and that was devastating! When I first came to the realization that I had to go gluten free I thought “Oh that won’t be too bad I don’t eat that much bread” BOY WAS I WRONG!! I quickly found out gluten is in EVERYTHING! So with this new blog series I am going to talk about my struggles and my triumphs going gluten free (GF)!  I hope to help people who are newly changing their diets wether it be a medical reason or by choice as well and continue to learn myself! As I am just hit the 1 year mark of my new diet, I have made many mistakes and still have a lot to learn but it truly is getting easier!

If you love farmhouse décor I am sure you love metal signs! I was so excited when Vintage Metal Co asked me to be a brand rep earlier this year! The deal was I got to pick any sign from her shop that I wanted to style in my home and then we worked together to design a custom sign for my home!
