Entertaining

            Over at our house, blue and white tends to work its way in to almost everything. I adore the color combination and cannot get enough of sprinkling it around when I can. So it's no surprise that I had to have these blue and white chinoiserie cork boards. I didn't stop there, I also loved the coasters, table cards and acrylic goblets too.  I picked up the plates and the planters and ginger jars in the background at an antique sale and a local estate sale not too long ago. I did find the exact...

    It was my absolute pleasure styling and photographing Juliska's new Berry & Thread Chambray collection. I cannot get over how gorgeous each and every last piece is! For those of you who know me well, you know I have a thing for blue. So when I saw this Chambray collection, I knew it was a match made in heaven for our house and our personal style. I styled two looks with this new Chambray collection. The first look is paired below with their also new Floretta Tidbit plates. I have spring on my mind around here, so I had...

        With Spring and Easter on my mind, I had to share this lovely floral arrangement. The colors have my mouth watering for Spring time and the beautiful blooms and weather that is to come.

I hope this gets you inspired for some warmer weather!  Katie                                      

   One thing you need to know about me is that I love to entertain.

Music is always a great way to bring some good vibes into any situation, but especially a way to make a room not feel so sterile when friends are over. We've had a handful of wireless speakers, so we were excited to try out...

                                    This is the second year I have hosted Christmas Eve. It's been quite fun to have family over to our house to celebrate the holidays. It always ends up being more work than I anticipated taking on the day before Christmas, but it has always been so rewarding to have family together, celebrating the most wonderful time of the year! I also can never help myself to just go a little over-board when it comes to tablescapes. I know my family would have been completely...
