{ Christmas Home 2025 }

 Hey everyone!! I hope your Christmas was amazing in every way you needed!! I took some photos, and although I don't usually blog anymore, I thought why not document another year... come join me on this belated Christmas Home Tour! 

{ Collected Fall Mantel }

 Well HELLO!!! I don't even know where to start, it's been so long { about two years }. It's been a long & to be frank rough 4 years, but in the last two a bit better. If you're wondering what I'm talking about you can scroll back a few posts & read. In short, I went from having a full happy life to it imploding/ exploding.

Today, though I'm back & I'm ready to share a refresh of my dining room & some new paint, which was much needed!! I forgot I randomly shot a few photos of the fall upstairs mantel too, so I'm including them as well. I'm so glad to be back & I'm excited to share this new post with you!! I hope you gather some comfy inspiration!

 

This buffet got a fresh coat of paint a few months ago. The second pantry in the kitchen got the same almond color. Cohesive & fresh!

 

I been a fan of mallard ducks forever. I started collecting mallard pieces about five years ago, starting with the black vintage decoy from a market.

 

I didn't plan it this way, but somehow the creams & greens are popping up all over my chippy little cottage! Anyways, thanks so much for popping back in, I hope you all are well!!

{ Easter Home Decor }

Hey everyone, welcome back!! I mentioned via Instagram that I wanted to share some Easter decor inspiration from my home at least once this season. I had some extra time to clean & photograph the other day, so I took full advantage!! Come gather some look ideas below...

I main focus was this cabinet! It showcases some of my favorite vintage items & also adds some spring goodness! 

The fireplace is also a focal, so some of my collection of my brass candlesticks & a brass bunny was all it needed! Simple & quite functional when the power was out!!

 

The binoculars were my papa's & the mini video cam an antique find. 

Fresh, cozy & simple! 

• I did add these  parson chairs in here too & moved one of the large slipcovered chairs into my new office....▪︎Reveal SOON!!

I hope you enjoyed this post. What spring decor did you indulge in this season? 

 

{ Warm Spring Cottage Dining Room }

 

  Well....that was a long 6 month break! Not in 9 years have I ever taken that long of a break from my blog. If you would like an update scroll back to the most recent post & all the details are there. I honestly can't let my mind go back to the last year because it's too much emotional baggage to process over & over.. Today though is a happy & uplifting post. Come see my simple spring dining room here:  HERE

 

 

So to be honest and completely transparent with you guys I have had a long hard two years & my home had reflected that. Last weekend I forced myself to get up, clean, purge & blog! This huge cabinet got a nice wipe down & then I got inspired to blog this little bit of decor I put out. I wish I could go into detail about what happened in two years, but it's sad, shocking & I'm just now starting to somewhat get my life back after it exploding then imploding at the hands of someone else. 

 

I kept this cabinet super simple with some vintage woods crates, serving dishes & some collected treasures along the way like the mason jars from Maine. 

 

These faux stems weren't cheap & I splurged on them,  but I knew at the time that I would have them for a bit & 3 years later they're still one of my favorites to use because of the quality & height.

 

I decided to move these chairs in here for summer because the parson slipcover ones are large in the dining room for summer!  I also removed the large jute 12x12 rug that was in here & opted for something smaller & with more texture. I know ill get asked, so the rug is from @target online about 4 years ago.

 

It's far from perfect, but much better & super fresh/ clean. I have more spaces lined up to display here on the blog once I get started blogging again on the regular. I work out of the home in health care now that it's just me & animals , so my time is placed all over the map these days. Financial  situation is also a little different, but I'm hoping to grow this little passion back to what it was again with even bigger gains this time.

 

I hope you enjoyed this updated post! Thank you for sticking along with me when times were amazing, good, rough, horrible & now just new. You guys are amazing & i'm forever grateful!

{ Fresh Fall Decor }

 Hey my pals- welcome back to TQS! I've been saying "welcome back" quite a bit here on the blog, and I'm so sorry about that! If you haven't noticed my life this past year has been super chaotic....I got divorced & then my ex- husband passed away the day after my 35th birthday suddenly! It's been very sad, but one thing that always helps me is decorating & giving my home a refresh for the season. Come gather some fresh fall inspiration below...

These were all just quick shots. I'm sorry I didn't get any up close shots or pinpoints, and yes, I have bowls soaking haha! 

•• more fall autumn posts coming soon!!

I haven't changed hardly anything out in the dining room in a bit, but with fall garage cleanup, I found some new pieces to swap out soon! Bold, traditional & festive fall/ Halloween 🎃 decor in here! 

The 'pumpkin pie framed recipe ' is from Frankfort, MI a few years back at a local antique shop! Some fun mini jack-o-lantern pumpkins & fall foliage to complete this space. 

 

In the living room I just added neutral touches & some New England spooky touches.  I love the black cat & rustic witch sign! 

This was the most spur of the moment mantel look & honestly I love the creamy ,but spooky Halloween vibe!

I hope you're all well! Thanks for sticking around with me on this new journey 😊.

{ Free Summer Outdoor DIY }

WELCOME BACK!!!! 

I'm so sorry I went mia for nearly 8 weeks! As many of you know I went through a tough divorce { 15 years } these last few months & I just needed to tie up some loose ends before returning to social media. Thank you for sticking with me these 9 years.. Anyways I'm back & I have a super cute summer DIY to share with you all!!! Keep reading below for the super thrifty + simple DIY!!! 

•TOOLS:

• Soil
• Teacups 
• Flowers
• Small Shovel 

These little teacup flower pots are nearly the easiest but cutest little diy for the summer!! I needed something for this quaint area on my front porch...My mom seen these little teacups in the dining room & well here we are! Now, I'll preface this by saying you shouldn't use expensive teacups for this  project, or in my opinion I would not! You can find cheap or free ones at your local thrift or garage sale. These were free from a local sale!! 

 

• DIY

• Pick your plant or flower first  & set in teacup!
• Fill the teacup 3/4 the way up with soil { I used dirt from the garden } loosely pack around flower & water lightly! Easy as that! They add so much charm & can effortlessly  be moved!!

 

I spruced up this space with a green striped tea towel & accessories! I love the antique gold rim with the fresh summer greenery!

 

It's fresh, summery & simple!! I also should add I'm a big advocate for mixing metals!! 

I hope you enjoyed this cute thrifty diy!! I'm thinking I want some more of these in some cute other teacups!!

{ Easter Dining Corner }

 Well, I guess it's better late than never....That's my going motto these days! Feels like it's been forever that I've been on here , since I'm usually posting several times a week!! I've been so busy around here & honestly I'm in limbo right now, so things have been a bit different around these parts!! I wanted to post at least one Easter post before Easter Sunday, so what better timing than posting the day before Easter!! I picked up some things from Target last weekend & thought I'd share them in a quick post! Most the things are from the dollar spot, so it was easy peasy! I honestly don't have much Easter decor, but I love bunny decor a year-round, so it just incorporates into my decor effortlessly! Come see this comfy corner I'm my dining room below...

 

A few of the things I picked up at Target were these green mason jars, carrot pillow, faux jadeite glass candle & I just mixed in some other Easter-ish goods to create this comfy Easter dining corner!

 

This vintage white ladder that was my late grandmother's, was super fun to style & decorate! The spring tulips, brass bunnies, green glass masons & festive carrots..Basically everything spring entails!

 

This corner couldn't be any more comfy for Easter...Eggs, vintage dishes, festive pillow & of course a yummy candle! 

 

I hope you guys liked his simple & practical Easter post! I think with the new items it was under $30! I love sharing easy & accessible items & styling!
