Last-Minute Holiday Centerpiece with Pomegranates

Here’s a great holiday hack – a last-minute holiday centerpiece with pomegranates and rosemary that takes just a few minutes to put together!Easy Last Minute Holiday Table Centerpiece DIY When it comes to the holidays, I sometimes spend weeks thinking about the food. I spend hours listing possible dishes, scouring the internet, rewriting my list and grocery shopping. I love picking recipes that you can make in advance, so I even start cooking several days in advance!

Unfortunately, this same organized approach doesn’t always apply to party decor. Even though I’m fine throwing down $50 for a fresh turkey, I’m extremely reluctant to spend that kind of money on table decorations. I’m always looking for ways to keep things cheap – and easy…. Read More »

Copper spray painted pumpkin decorations are an easy and cheap DIY for your Thanksgiving table, but they still look so chic!Spray Painted Copper Pumpkins DIY to decorate your Thanksgiving Table

If you’re like me, table decorations are all about getting the biggest ‘wow’ factor without spending a ton of time or money.
