Hobby Lobby is a fun place to find all the seasonal decor, and of course all the things for your walls and floors, but I’m learning that the best look for me is the decor that adds a little whimsy. That has driven me to scouring in thrift stores and antique booths. I want our home to reflect who WE are – not a brand.

iPhone Sticker Hack for Moving Furniture!
I love to keep my house fresh and inviting, and sometimes that means I have to “rethink” where furniture pieces are placed. A new need has arisen and the current arrangement isn’t working as well as it had in the past. But moving heavy pieces of furniture from room to room is exhausting, especially when the idea I had in my mind just doesn’t look right and we have to move it again! **Sigh**

Winter Decor Inspiration
The temptations at Hobby Lobby are almost unbearable! ALL that beautiful Christmas decor pulls me into imaginative thoughts of turning my home into a scene from a Hallmark movie! I recently had to talk myself out of purchasing a giant, adorable sign that was shaped like a cocoa mug with cute wording on it.
“This would be so cute on the back porch near the fire pit!”
“We aren’t out there that often in the winter.”
I could put it on the front porch, too!
It’s not Christmas decor – I could use this all winter.
“Then where will I store this giant sign after winter is over?”
At that point the sign was placed back into its spot on the shelf. The thought of having to find space for storage was all I had to consider.

I have learned in the last few years that the best way to decorate is to decorate for whatever season it is and engage all the senses.

Cozy Up a Room with Lighting
Cozy rooms are so inviting, but how do we create that atmosphere? Is it by our signature style? Paint? The furniture? If I could only give one way to make a room inviting, my word would be lighting. It makes all the difference in the world.
I love adding lights at varied heights and brightness. Lamps help with tasks, like reading or handwork, and a dim light can make a dark corner glow with warmth. I’ve recently added some lights to my house and I’m loving the difference they’ve made!

A Front Door Wreath for the “In-between” Season
I know lots of you are already decked out for fall, but I’m still in denial! I’m hanging onto the warm days and summer-like temps as long as possible.
When I was sweeping off my front porch this week, I noticed that my front door wreath needed some help. The flowers were faded and pretty sad. I was headed to town anyway, so I added Hobby Lobby to my list of places to stop.
