A Few Random Home Decor Items

A Few Random Home Decor Items

I recently came across a few random photos that I never got around to sharing and thought it would be kind of fun to combine them all and share them in one blog post.

I’m always making things for my home. Whether it’s decorations for my home, birthday decorations, simple homemade gifts or just trying to DIY some type of home organization…

I’m always up to something.

But I don’t always get around to sharing everything because I either think it’s maybe too simple to share, or I get distracted and start working on another project that ends up bumping that old project to the back burner…

I do try to make it a point to photograph many of these DIY’s though in case I change my mind and decide to post them or have some spare time to play with. (Hardly ever)

Thank the good Lord for cameras!

Most of what I’m sharing today is somewhat on the easy side and mostly anyone can bring them together with a few simple supplies or things already on hand.

You can also customize these ideas to suit the season you are in by changing up the colors or items you are using or even make them for everyday decorations.

A Few Random Home Decor Items

I love the Christmas Tree Shop. They always have such beautiful finds. It never fails that me and my five-year-old daughter come out of there with at least a couple of bags of stuff that we probably could have done without, but couldn’t pass up!

I picked up the gold candle wreath below right before the holidays and ended up making a simple door wreath by wrapping a white faux poinsettia off to the side.

Then I added a strand of twine for hanging.

I usually don’t use too much red to decorate for fall. But last year I did, and really loved it.

I never got around to sharing this small faux floral centerpiece but luckily I did get to photograph it before taking it apart once the season was over.

I made this floral centerpiece using three faux flowers, some red and white ribbon, and a recycled jar.

A very simple, but of so pretty, heart painting.

I started by painting different shaped hearts on cardstock then cut out the best hearts and ended up framing these three with white tissue paper for the background.

(Frame: Walmart)

I originally came across this frame when I visited this blog, while I was on the hunt for some fall wall decor ideas. She really created a beautiful display on her wall with a larger version of these frames. You may want to check it out when you can.

Here I taped paper hearts together, another Christmas Tree Shop find, to make two Valentine’s Day wall decorations and then finished by adding twine for hanging.

A pink heart on a stick (from Walmart), a mason jar, and some pink beaded jewelry that I’ve had forever play the part of vase fillers.

All I did here was cut out a few small red hearts on cardstock for more Valentine’s Day decor this past holiday. The rest of the items I picked up on previous trips to a variety of different stores.

(Poinsettias, Dollar Store…Red Hearts in vase, Walmart…Adorable Bird, Target)

Lastly, a birthday garland for my daughter’s birthday. We usually don’t have actual birthday parties for my daughter, but no matter how we decide to celebrate I always like to decorate our home for both her as well as me and my husband’s birthday.

I taped hearts that I cut out last year for Valentine’s Day onto twine then added flower and bird stickers (the kid in me) as well as adhesive pearls to the hearts.

There are actually two separate garlands in the photo below, it may not be very clear to see but you can see the longer one down below.

That’s it for now. Hope you enjoyed everything!

Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way. May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come.

A Few Color Combinations For Red Beads

A Few Color Combinations For Red Beads

A few months ago I decided I wanted to make a few everyday beaded bracelets. Bracelets that I could wear with just about anything, any day of the week.

I wanted to stick with neutral colors like white and black, but something told me I had to consider RED BEADS.

Eventually, it started making sense.

We probably all have them…

Those red accessory items that always help bring an outfit together. For me, it’s a subtle red lip when I want to be a little more dressed up and a scarf that comes out every holiday season without fail.

So I knew I had to make a red beaded bracelet.

But I was curious. How much could I do with these red beads? What colors would they blend nicely with? So I thought it would be fun to do another blog post similar to my emerald green beads where I showed a few of my favorite color combinations.

ok, let’s get started…

A Few Color Combinations For Red Beads

White

Red and white blend together perfectly. It’s one of those color combinations that you just can’t go wrong with.

I’m picturing red and white candy canes during the holidays, the perfect white tee shirt and red nail polish, red swimwear and white sandals, even that classic red and white stop sign comes to mind when I think of red and white.

Black

It’s classic…

and slightly bold if you ask me.

It’s that beautiful red and black Buffalo plaid pattern that can’t be missed during the holidays.

It’s the colors that we may consider for special events, like that little black dress and those red heels that always make you stand out (in a good way 😉)

It’s red and black.

Pink

Words that come to mind with this one are youthful and bubbly.

You may first have to tap into that inner child in you to initially appreciate this one but if you stop for a minute and think about it…

Pink and red work beautifully together.

I decided to use a shade of blush pink beads but there are many pink shades that would look amazing with these red beads as well.

Hot pink, coral pink, fuchsia pink, I think they would all work with red.

Turquoise

This one has beach written all over it.

But then again, I think turquoise can take anything into beach appropriate status!

I have to admit, I normally wouldn’t have thought of blending turquoise and red together but this color combo has really caught my eye lately.

They are both two intense colors that don’t necessarily compete with each other at all.

They compliment each other in the most friendliest and welcoming way (if I could give them a personality :))

Light Blue

Red and blue can come across as patriotic for sure, but…

When I played around with the different shades of blue I ended up with this color combo that hardly reminds me of any barbeque appropriate holiday you can think of 😉

This soft light blue is near and dear to my heart. It resembles the shade of blue I used all throughout my wedding, so it’s a shade I’m always drawn to.

This light blue and red combination is one that just puts a smile on my face (as many of the other color combo’s do)

Green

I wasn’t sure about this one at first but I decided to give it a try.

I pictured red and green as a combination that really would only work for Christmas but clearly, I was wrong.

Picture a beautiful red rose, that red poinsettia we love for the holidays, a red daisy, or even a red peony along with their beautiful green leaves…

It’s pure perfection.

Crystal Clear

So this one may not actually be a true color but just like in my emerald green beads posts I couldn’t help but include it with these red beads as well.

What can crystal clear beads possibly not blend in with?

The pretty transparent sparkle really allows for that vibrant red to stand out.

Well, that’s it for this one my friends.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way…May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!
