Look A Little Deeper

There is nothing I love more than sitting around a table and catching up with friends. Sometimes that is where my company and I end up, at the table chatting away. Why am I talking about the table? Because it helps to have something pretty to look at while gabbing away. I love creating centerpieces to go with the seasons and wanted to share my Spring/Summer dining room table look. But first, a little story of me and my hoarding tendencies! Haha!

I am always trying to look at things in a different way. For example this lantern. It was my moms and I asked if I could have it about eight years ago. I attempted to put it various places throughout the years and it just never worked. But I refused to throw it away because I knew that one day I would be happy I didn't. It's that day. After a fresh coat of spray paint it is now the center of my dining room set up. So for today's tip, always try to look at this for what they could be not just what they currently are.

Fast Tips on making your centerpieces:

Choose a color scheme. Gold was an easy choice since my rooms have a lot of gold.

Don't be afraid of faux flowers but don't over do it.

Think about layering, for example pebbles and faux moss.

Have a fabulous day!

Small and Chic

Today's post is a super fast DIY planting project. Even if you have very limited time, much like myself this week, it's easy. Anything that is fast and chic I'm absolutely going to share with you guys. When I saw these tiny magnetic pots I was in love! I mean how cute are they?! Then I just found equally adorable plants to put in them. There you have it. Adding some chicness to the side of any fridge! Don't think I'm stopping here. By the end of the summer you probably won't be able to see any fridge! Haha! 

See below for ultimate cuteness!

Annnnnd I'm off to party plan!

Have a chic day!

Slow Down Sunday

I. Live. For. Sundays.

All week long I am in a constant state of moving and running. Life is busy for all of us through the week right? Working full time and also owning a busy photography company can be very taxing on MK and I. A lot of times this is my only day off. Because of that, we have a rule that we only break on rare occasions: no work on Sunday's. 

Since most of my posts are fast this is going to be the one day a week that I'll feature something not so fast. "Slow Down Sunday" is going to be a chance to, well, stop and smell the roses per say. 

So how about these Rose Potato's?! Easy, elegant, and great to switch up the normal boring potato side. Having said it'd easy I must say it is not quick to perfect these lovely buds.

Here is what you need:

• 7 potatoes (or more just depending on your guest list)
• 5-6 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 tsp Italian herbs and 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 pepper

Here is what you do:

• Wash and peel potatoes and slice them with a peeler into very thin slices
• Combine oil and spices

• Make a row of like 9-10 slices and brush with your oil mixture

• Start rolling them but hold them tight
• Boom! You've got a rosebud
• Set the rose into a muffin tin, its possible that you might not have enough slices for the circle so you might need to add a couple slices so that the rose sits tight
• Brush the tops with oil seasoning
• Throw in the oven on 400 for 25-30 minutes- just make sure its golden.
