PB Mason jar drinking glass

Came across this awesome deal on these fabulous Mason jar drinking glasses. I first fell in love with them at my local Pottery Barn store for the price of $5.50 each....but discovered them at Bed, bath and beyond for only $2.50 each!! Exactly identical!

So now I'm pondering, I wonder what else Pottery Barn sells that can be purchased elsewhere for less? Very good question indeed!!

Completely identical, logo and all. Not to mention, you are allowed to use the bed bath & beyond coups also!

Our new PB dinning table!

Love. Love. Love this table! The rich dark mahogany wood color, the thickness and the bench! Not to mention this table is so large, you could literally sacrifice someone on this lol! (and that's without the extenders). We got ours pretty much for free since we received ALOT of PB giftcards from our wedding shower. Amazing right? I'm still pinching myself to make sure it's real!


But for the rest of bloggers that are obsessed with table, but do not want to pay the $$$, I found some great knock off's out there! Check it out!

Winter Blues

Hi all! Sorry I've been m.i.a, we've all been hibernating over here in Michigan! Snow, snow and more snow. I'm so ready for Spring to come- the flowers, the outdoor decorating, ahhh it all sounds wonderful :).

So what's the main thing you are looking forward to when Spring finally gets here??

Coastal Living Room Inspiration

Nothing says Come on in & take a load off, like a welcoming Living Room. But just throwing some stuff together, in a square shaped room isn't as easy as it sounds. Colors have to blend, "less is more". And if your Living Room is anything like mine...it's also very small, which makes it tricky to maneuver items around.

I love coastal flare, teals & mints. Oars, burlap & everything in-between!

Check out the totally Coastal Living Rooms listed below for Inspiration!

The slip cover couch look is very coastal chic. I recommend Ikea. They have a great selection, for a fraction of the price. Warm tones with shabby-chic accents.

Grey, Grey, Grey! There is just something fabulously simple about a Grey Living Room. Decorate with Sailboats, Oars & Starfish!

A little Tropical flare can go a long way. Teal couches, wood floors & burlap pillows...you can't go wrong!

 

Star struck for stripes? How could you not be....toss in some sheer drapes for a classic beachy feel.

 

 

 

DIY Mania

Sitting here, bored on a Sat night I decided to browse the internet. Not finding anything interesting on Pinterest I ended up on Google. If you have never googled the word "diy" before and searched images....well let me tell ya! Pages & pages of diy ideas and creations pop up. Wonderful ideas from around the world of creations people have conjured up and decided to share. I must say I am quite impressed with all the creative energy, it just about puts me in a mood to begin some crafting of my own.....even if it is 10:00pm at night!

Here's a couple great ones I decided to share with you!

Old gates can be used inside the home for dogs or babies. Great idea, and it looks so much nicer!

Hi All,
You may have noticed I added a new tab to the Blog. It directly takes you to a Photog Company called Creative Photography by Jenny. (No this is not me, lol). This is a close friend of mine. She also did our engagement photos, so you may recognize me in a couple of her photos! Besides being a genuinely wonderful person in life, she is an incredible Photog; ranging in a variety of services. If your in Michigan and looking for Professional Pictures, I highly recommend her!

Thanks,
