Cozy Throw Blankets for Fall - Friday Favorites

Cozy Throw Blankets for Fall – Friday Favorites

The leaves are falling, the temperatures are easing off and there is a crisp smell in the air.  Here in Colorado, the leaves are changing a bit early.  Apparently, the drought in the mountains is the culprit.   With the approaching cooler temperatures, I am dusting off some of my cozy throw blankets for fall.  Today, for my Friday Favorites, I am sharing some of my favorite throw blankets with a…

Creating a Neutral Fall Vignette with Pumpkins

Creating a Neutral Fall Vignette with Pumpkins

Since the leaves started falling here already, I jumped right into transitioning our decor for fall. I just love all of the warm and neutral colors that are associated with the subtle changes outdoors.  Throughout the year, I keep the buffet in our dining room very simple.  It is important to me to have a clean canvas for creating seasonal decor as we move through each month.  When one holiday or…

Simple Ideas for Fall Table Settings

It is hard to believe that fall is right around the corner.  The changing of the seasons always brings new beauty and reflections of the complexities of nature.  By the end of summer, I am eager to see the transformation of the colors and textures that come with fall.  Just as spring and summer bloom vibrantly with so much beauty we can enjoy in our homes, fall brings a similar display of warmer…

Crispy Italian Baked Parmesean Zuccini

Crispy Italian Baked Parmesean Zuccini

A good neighbor friend of mine grows an incredible garden each year and this year is no exception.  Zuccini is one of the vegetables she planted this year and they have absolutely taken over her entire garden.  Knowing that I love to cook and entertain, she made the “HELP!!” call not knowing what to do with the abundance of zuccini coming out of her garden.  At least once a week, she drops off…

Friday Favorites – Crystal Drum Chandeliers

Happy Friday friends!  Welcome back to my Friday Favorites series.  This week,  I am featuring my favorite crystal drum chandeliers.  When we remodeled our dining room after we bought our home, I decided to think outside of the box with regard to how I was going to design the lighting.   Our dining room sits on the front of our home, so I wanted to feature something dramatic as it would be seen…

Spring Table Setting for Mother's Day Luncheon

Spring Table Setting for Mother’s Day Luncheon

My parents live in Dallas, so I don’t get to be with my mother on Mother’s Day very often since I moved to Denver.  This year, though, they are coming a few weeks before, so we will get to celebrate it with her a little early.  My mother is an acclaimed hostess and they open their home very often for events, both large and small.  She has most certainly been my most significant inspiration for my…

Creating a Spring or Easter Centerpiece with Carrots

Easter is just days away and I am still working on getting everything ready for Easter Sunday.  We have had a couple of snow storms in the last week, so it has definitely put a bit of a kibosh on the blessed features of spring that have started to emerge.  We actually lost our power all day yesterday from the storm we had the night before, so there was no blogging yesterday as I had hoped. We…
