DIY Christmas Arch Tutorial 🌲
The perfect Christmas decor for the porch!
It took some time tying all the garlands and stems with the zip ties as I kept wanting to add more 😅 but this DIY was fairly easy! The PVC held up nicely with the zip ties and Command cord bundler.
I contemplated adding lights or ornaments (maybe next year 😉) but I love it just the way it is!

DIY Christmas Garland Arch🎄
Ever since we renovated the porch I’ve always wanted to do a garland arch and I’m so glad we finally did 🙌🏽
I want to add a couple more things to the porch but I’d say we’re off to a great start!

Gotta love a good before and after!!
I can’t get over how bad the siding was 😬 There was no saving it with paint either, which is my go to 😅
Now picture this…green lush grass, hydrangeas on the side, cute shrubs, and a nice patio in the back and we’re golden 😎
Summer can’t come quick enough 🤣

This house has come a looong way!
Swipe to see the before and head over to the blog where I share the process, siding we chose, installation, and the price.
I couldn’t be happier! Thanks to @marshallbuilding for the great work!
Up next will be landscaping, hopefully in the Spring. In the meantime, stay tuned for Christmas decor coming later this week!

I was super nervous about painting my front door 😅 I didn’t want any brush or roll marks! Luckily I found Floetrol.
This product leveled the many coats of primer and paint so nicely!
I love sharing a good product when I see one and this one is it! This isn’t sponsored I just had to share!
The finish looks so smooth! 🤍 Floetrol is a must have when painting doors and I may even try it when I paint furniture!

In pretty much a day, I was able to completely transform the look of my rocking chairs!
They have held up over the years but since we got new siding it was time for them to also get a new look.
Nothing like black paint to elevate them. It’s now giving sleek and modern 🖤
For the supplies I used to easily paint and seal the chairs checkout my Amazon storefront!

All I wanted for Christmas was new siding and Christmas came early 🥹🤎
This house was meant to go back to its original look, unpainted cedar shakes. And the best part is that this is vinyl, no need to worry about rotting wood, it’s less maintenance, cost much less, and this look will last a very long time!

These DIY Icicle Ornaments are adorable and so easy to make!
Here’s what you’ll need:
•Borax
•Hot water
•Pipe cleaners
•Pencil
•Table Spoon
•Glass jars (mason jars work great for this)
Leave overnight to crystallize!
Mix 3-4tbs per cup of water
Make sure the water is clear after mixing the Borax
Don’t let the pipe cleaners touch while in the water. They’ll stick together!
It’s a great science experiment to do with kids!

Last year I created this Thanksgiving table setting and I’m still in love with it! 🧡 Mixing florals (faux florals in my case) during this time of year brings me so much joy!
I love playing around with centerpiece ideas but my favorites has got to be simply adding branches right from my backyard or mixing two items to create something unique!
