Thanksgiving Tablescape Inspiration

Thanksgiving is only a few days away.  It is one of my favorite holidays.  I love that it is all about spending with your family and eating lots of really good food.  While I am not hosting Thanksgiving this year or anytime in the future most likely.  I am dreaming of all of the beautiful ways I will decorate my table for the Holiday one day.  

Here are some beautiful tablescapes that I find incredibly inspiring...

Ruffled

Tory Burch

Style Me Pretty Living

Honey & Fitz

Furbish Studio

Far Above Rubies

A Pumpkin and A Princess

I cannot wait until I have a tablescape of my own to show.  Until then, I will keep dreaming...

C. WONDER Gift List

From the first time I walked into a C. Wonder at the mall, I was obsessed.  We were shopping at Garden State Plaza and it had just opened.  They had a DJ at the entrance, the employees were all dancing and I wanted to buy just about everything.  It was so bright and colorful and FUN!

Although, my plan is for lots of cool colors in my new house with lots of silvers and greys, I still keep getting pulled to everything GOLD! I am going to have to find a way to incorporate it somehow.  Check out some of my favorite gold gifts for Christmas from C.Wonder.

Bathroom Tiling Update

Here is an update on the progress of our bathroom.

Shower before tiling..

My uncle from North Carolina came up two weekends in a room to tile the bathroom for us. Thank god for him, because we had no idea what we were doing!  After he was done tiling the whole bathroom, he showed Joel how to do the grout.

Here is Joel hard at work...

Here are the tiles we selected:

Jeffrey House Stratosphere Blue Pencil Glass Wall Tiles from Home Depot

American Olean 4in x 8in White Gloss Ceramic Tiles from Lowes

Merola Tile Moldura Tile White Ceramic Pencil Trim Tile from Home Depot

Soft Dreams Beyaz Floor Tile from The Tile Shop

Still lots to do, but its all starting to come together!

Laundry Room

One of things that we really wanted to include inside the house was a laundry room.  When we bought the house, the washing machine was actually in the middle of the kitchen and the dryer was in the garage, veryyy strange.   Our contractor suggested adding one in some extra space we had in the garage and we jumped at the opportunity!

With adding a laundry room, we also added a larger coat closet and an entrance to/from the garage, so here is the little hallway off the front entrance to our new additional living space.  We decided to tile the whole area, take a look below.

Our new coat closet...

Laundry room tiled and grouted... just some cleaning up to do...

And with our new washer and dryer...

The next step is trying to make it functional and pretty!

November BirchBox

One thing that I look forward to every month is opening the mailbox to find my little pink BirchBox.  I love checking out all the new products.

It's like a mini-Christmas every month!

So here is what I got this month in my November Box...

1. Chella Highlighter Pencil - $18

My make-up artist used a nude eyeliner on my inner lash lines for my wedding, and it really made my eyes look so much bigger.  I have been looking to buy one of my own, and I was so excited to find this in my box.  Now I can try it out for myself!

2. Color Club Baldwin Blues - $8

I just got my nails done, but I am excited to try this color on my toes this weekend!

3. Aloxxi ColourCare Volumizing and Strengthening Shampoo - $22

Thinking of packing this in my suitcase for our Honeymoon.

4. Aloxxi ColourCare Volumizing and Strengthening Conditioner - $22

And, I'll throw this on in there too!

5. Fatty Sundays Chocolate Covered Pretzels - $7

Yummy! Chocolate Covered Pretzels are one of my favorite, and my sample just happened to be Toffee Crunch, my absolute favorite topping!  BirchBox knows me so well. : )

Along with the box came the BirchBox Holiday Shop Gift Guide.  Have you checked it out yet?  So many great ideas for so many people on your list, and maybe just a little something for yourself! Wink!
