AN EASY WAY TO WRAP BOOKS WITH FABRIC

I have always liked using book as part of my home decor.
Sometimes I use them just to add a little height to a decor item or to place on the coffee table as part of a vignette.
I had many of you email me asking for a tutorial of how I covered my books, so here it goes! 

This year while putting together our Spring mantle, I wanted the topiaries I used to decorate it to be a little higher. Our mantle is so tall and large that most decor items get lost up there.

HAPPY EASTER

SPRING MANTLE

Hello everyone!

Today I am back to share with you our simple Spring mantle, but before I start this post I want to thank you all for the emails and messages congratulating us on our new granddaughter. Thank you so much.

We are over the moon! :) 

My mantle has been decorated for a little while now, but finding a chance to share it on the blog is a different story.

It is a "now or never" kind of situation so, before anybody requires something else from me, here is a little look at our Spring mantle for this year.

SOME SPRING DECOR IN OUR KITCHEN

Hello everyone!

I figured I better get busy and start sharing on the blog the little bit of Spring decor I have added to our home in the last few weeks before Summer gets here. :)

Nothing spectacular since you all know I have been busy taking care of some more pressing matters on the home front.

Let me show you what I have done in the kitchen and I will share the rest in a couple of days.

TUESDAYS AT OUR HOME #207 & FEATURES

WELCOME TO TUESDAYS AT OUR HOME!

How was your weekend? Ours was a little wet. We had the craziest weather over the weekend. 
Such severe storms coming through our city. Very scary!

It started getting dark, really dark by 10.00 AM on Sunday morning.

And this is inside the house thirty minutes later.
At this point, we started getting a little concerned. We were under tornado watch and the thunder and lightning was impressive. 

And two hours later, the sun came out and it was like nothing ever happened. Not a cloud in the sky. 

That is Texas for you. Crazy!

Before we start the party, lets take a look at some of last week features.

Marie at The Interior Frugalista turned an old table they found online into a gorgeous 
Outdoor Portable Beverage Bar Cart.

Lydi at Lydi Out Loud created a beautiful Easter brunch coffee bar.

Suzy at Worthing Court showed us how to make a moss covered wreath. Sooo pretty!

Crissy at Dear Crissy shared a wonderful recipe for Cherry Kuchen Bars.

Handan at The Navage Patch created a beautiful faux succulent wreath.

Miranda at Cookies Dough and Oven Mitt shared a great recipe for Cookie butter Pie.
