HAVE I EVER TOLD YOU...

Have I ever told you how much I love Target? Well I love Target... A LOT!  For a gal on a budget and a gal who doesn't have the time to hunt for vintage finds, it's the place for you.  For years now they have been carrying Rachel Ashwell's line "Simply Shabby Chic" and I'm going to be using some her bedding for my "white room"!  Check out some of the things I love!

 I love the pattern of these sheets, very romantic.

 People! You can get this rug at Target!!

 You know how much I love mirrors.

 Linen bedskirts!

 This is a mixture of the oatmeal linen duvet set and a bed-in-a-bag set!

 

 This white bedding looks so expensive! Hoping to use some of the white shams.

 Super cute decorative pillow.

 I'll be using the blue linen duvet set for my bed!

 Linen Curtains!!

Peace & Love

I'M BACK!!

I'm finally back on Blogger! Sorry it's been so long.  I've been so busy with wedding planning, moving, working on the house, and working on the website! I've not had the time to really write a new blog post, but I'M BAAAAACK!  Don't worry, I have saved lots of magazine articles and ideas to blog about and I'm hoping to make up for lost time!

I wanted to share with you a shop on etsy.com that has completely stolen my heart.  Not only do I adore this shop for wedding ideas, but I'll be using them for home decor as well. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.  Ladies and Gentlemen, I introduce you to Bragging Bags!

 The candle holders are so sweet! And, you can order them in any color at such a reasonable price.

 Doesn't this mason jar just remind you of catching fire flies when you were little? It just makes me smile! What an awesome idea!

 Just love love love these bird nest balls.

 The sweetest thing.

 Obsessed with this table runner! Gorgeous.

 Such a romantic ring bearer pillow.

 These chalk boards are so much fun and they come with a chalk pen, which makes writing so much easier.

 These flowers are fake and I want some in every room! Unbelievable talent.

 When my fiance and I were in Beaver Creek, CO, we saw trees with this bark everywhere and we loved them. How special would it be to have a vase like this? Must have.

 Pen or Marker for our wedding books!

 Probably my favorite items on the entire site.  I love candles and these votive holders took my breath away. You can put these anywhere in your home!

Talk about vintage feel! These silver pieces with the silk flowers will bring brightness into any room. Soooo sweet and beautiful.

Thanks to Bragging Bags for making my day!

Peace & Love,

Celina

Sometimes the simplest things have so much more meaning

Sometimes the most simple things have so much more meaning. If you have grandparents or great-grandparents that grew up like mine, chances are they kept everything! C'mon now, this doesn't mean they are hoarders, they just lived in harder times ; ) Trust me, this can be good for you. They knew they needed to keep these things for a reason. 

Brighten up your rainy day with these blue colored Ball Mason Jars. Pop a little votive candle in one, or your favorite flower.  These are guaranteed to bring a little smile to your face. Since I'm going to be a "Ball" soon, I'm especially partial to these little beauties.

All things Lace!

When you think of Southern Vintage, some may tend to picture lace doilies spread throughout their grandmother's home. Lace everywhere, is something I am not a fan of, however finding lace in interesting places, to me, is the epidemy of shabby chic!  No matter how expensive or cheap, lace is a luxury. 

Call Me Crazy

Call me crazy, but you gotta know what I would do with this vanity mirror!

 

 I would totally take it apart, paint it black, silver, white, or maybe even turquoise, then hang it on a wall as three separate pieces!! Gotta love www.etsy.com 

Sometimes more is MORE!

You have all heard "less is more," but sometimes more can be just that, more! Take advantage of your favorite collections and show them off.  Organization is key. This wall of mirrors is so "me".  The use of like-colored frames placed on thin shelves, rather than hanging, makes this wall interesting and beautiful. The black shelves and table give the space a masculine touch. LOVE!!

 

My dearest friend Allison, has a love for vintage finds and this photo from Country Living Magazine has her name written all over it! The use of vintage suitcases for a decorative piece is an awesome idea. Not only can you show off your favorite collection, but they can be used for storage too. HELLO!!  The use of cream walls, glass lamp, and white flowers lighten up the heaviness of this design. Perfecto!
