Making it Lovely
Transforming a so-so house into a lovely home.
We had some people over yesterday for a little family celebration. Brandon’s sisters brought cupcakes, complete with cupcake stands! Apparently they are available at Target, though I could only find them in silver on the site. The gingerbread men are cute too – Brandon’s mom made them with pink frosting for us. :)
The pink tree has been decorated. I'll share more photos soon…
I love it. I do wish the lights were clear, but I can change them eventually. At night, the hot pink lights take the tree from kooky and fun to over-the-top bordello! Also, the 7.5′ version would have been a better height, but […]
Brandon bought a wreath from a boy scout that came to our door last month. Isn’t that sweet? When it arrived though, I could see it needed a little help. It came with a smooshed plastic red bow and two pine cones. […] I added a silver bow and the two pine cones back in and hung it from a silver ribbon. The whole thing could have used a little more fussing, but I fixed it up and had it hanging within fifteen minutes. I had to work quickly!
Everyone remembers this issue of Blueprint, yes? With the beautiful (not tacky) pink Christmas trees? Well I’ve gone ahead and ordered a pink Christmas tree of my own. I’m pretty excited!
