CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE REFRESH: THE DINING ROOM PLAN

I'm so excited to be spilling the beans about a new project that kicks off today!  I'm joining a fabulous group of talented, sweet bloggers that are working over the next few weeks to each refresh a space in their home.  Everyone is choosing whatever space they want to work on, hence the "Choose Your Own Adventure Refresh" theme!  (Anyone else remember those books? They were a childhood favorite of mine!)  Today, each of us will be sharing the space we plan to take on, as well as some before photos and our plans for the room.  Next week, we'll share our progress, and at the end of the month we'll share the reveal.  Whew!  This is a quick one!   (*This post may contain affiliate links, read my  full disclosure policy here .)   For the next two weeks I'm going to be working feverishly to refresh my......   DINING ROOM!  Here's how the space looked on Monday just before I set the table for Valentine's Day :    ...

VALENTINE'S DAY PORCH AND MANTEL DECORATIONS

Happy Saturday!  I never post projects on Saturdays, but I just decorated for Valentine's Day yesterday and didn't want to wait any longer to share in case you're doing a bit of decorating this weekend too!  I typically don't put up a lot of decorations for Valentine's day, I just add a few touches to key areas- the mantel and the front porch- to make the house feel festive.  I picked up a few things from Dollar Tree and had some things from Hobby Lobby on hand, and in less than an hour yesterday I had a few new pieces made and up!

With Valentine's Day less than a week away, I figured I'd better get on the ball and get some gift planning (and buying!) done.  Honestly, Valentine's Day seems to sneak up so quickly after Christmas that it's always a little bit hard to shop for. So, today I'm sharing five of our favorite things if you're fresh out of ideas... a few for her and a few for him! Easy No-Sew Valentine's Day Garland (*This post may contain affiliate links, read my  full disclosure policy here .) ...
