$50 Kirkland’s Giveaway!

We were recently contacted by Kirkland’s asking us if we would like to review one of their gorgeous lamps…um…hello!! of course! We LOVE Kirkland’s!
Kirkland's
I’ve been shopping at Kirkland’s for years because of their quality merchandise and reasonable prices.  I recently learned that they have an online store!!
I was so excited to receive this gorgeous lamp! It’s the Seaside Table Lamp from their 2012 Collection.
Seriously could the color not be anymore perfect for my dining room?! And, let me tell ya ladies and gents, this is one HUGE lamp!
I love all of the beautiful details.
The more modern feel of the crackled glass and the silver metal finish add a nice contrast to my traditional furniture.
How do you think it looks in my dining room? And, can you tell by my quote I’m ready for spring?!

“No winter lasts forever…no spring skips it’s turn….” Hal Borland
Thanks Kirkland’s for adding a little brightness to my day!
I’m fortunate to have a Kirkland’s close by, but if you are not…well now you’re in luck! You can find most of their lovely items right in their online store, and a few items are available ONLY in their online store so really you get the best of both worlds by shopping from their website. 
Here’s some other lamps that I just love from Kirkland’s!
  
And they have so many other amazing items, mirrors, accent furniture, seasonal decor!
 
I think you’ll find that you love Kirkland’s just as much as we do! So how about a chance to win a
$50.00 gift card to Kirkland’s!!

Here’s the details and good luck!!

It’s time for another #tiptuesday and this week It’s time for another #tiptuesday and this week I’m showing how easy it is to decorate an entry table for spring in under five minutes! The formula is SO simple…

1. A lamp is your staple element and provides height.
2. Add a stack of books.
3. Bring in depth with a small framed seasonal print.
4. Add a small tray
5. Place seasonal accessories and a candle on that tray especially if you have cute brass bunnies!
6. Put a vase or urn on top of the books and add fresh or silk spring flowers.

And that’s all there is to it! Happy Spring dear friends! 🌸
Happy Friday! I’m oh so thankful for beautiful s Happy Friday! I’m oh so thankful for beautiful sunshine especially when our family has been hit by illness this week. Everyone is on the upswing, thankfully, and I’m hoping we’ll fell well enough to get outside and soak up some much needed natural vitamin D. After so many days of wet, gloomy weather this is like balm for my soul! 🍃 What’s the weather like where you are?
Here is a friendly PSA for you...do not, I repeat, Here is a friendly PSA for you...do not, I repeat, DO NOT attempt to apply eyeliner while you have the hiccups. It won't go well. Trust me on this one! 😜

In other news, the hot cocoa station is finally gone and in it's place is a fresh new look that was kicked off by finding a beautiful, rustic vase at @homegoods. It feels like my home is rising up to welcome Spring and I'm so ready for sunshine and longer days. 🍃

Don’t forget to check out my stories tonight for Friday funnies! I love hearing from so many of you who say it’s your favorite way to wrap up your week. ☺️

Happy weekend to you dear friends!
It’s Tip Tuesday time! This week I’m sharing o It’s Tip Tuesday time! This week I’m sharing one of my most favorite ways to simply and inexpensively add seasonal decor to your home. There’s nothing like getting big impact with little effort and without breaking the bank! #tiptuesday #decorforless
What a gift it was to wake up on the first day of What a gift it was to wake up on the first day of March and see glorious sunshine greeting us after a few days of ice and snow. This is the month of hope and expectation and I’m here for it.

Happy March first dear friends! 🍃
Our first ‘laundry room’ wasn’t actually a r Our first ‘laundry room’ wasn’t actually a room at all. The 20+ year old washer and dryer we inherited after we got married was hooked up in the garage of our small townhouse. Our second ‘laundry room’ was an improvement because it was actually INSIDE the house but it was in our family room behind bifold doors.

So when we moved into this home 15 years ago I literally jumped up and down when I saw this real laundry room. Never mind that it had dated counters and an old stained sink. It was an actual room!

We made minor updates to it over the years but other, more visible, spaces took priority so we spent our resources on beautifying those.

But, last summer, we finally had new counters installed and made a few more updates that have completely transformed this room. 

Now, it’s almost a joy to do the laundry…almost! 😉

For more photos and details head on over to my website using the link in my bio.
“In you, LORD my God, I put my trust. I trust in “In you, LORD my God, I put my trust.
I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.

No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause.

Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths.

Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
