Little Man Baby Shower

Posted on February 7, 2017August 5, 2017 by sarominspired

Over the weekend, we celebrated my sweet cousin and her husband with a Little Man Baby Shower for their little one on the way. I offered to decorate the event because I wanted to do something special for them. They have been together over 20 years (since high school), married 10 years and their dream of expanding their family is coming true.

Shabby Chic Tea Birthday Party

Posted on January 13, 2017August 5, 2017 by sarominspired

With Vera’s 3rd birthday being just around the corner, I thought it would be fun to share memories from her Shabby Chic Tea First Birthday Party! I still haven’t picked out a theme for her party this year and I can’t believe my littlest one is no longer a baby!

The little details:

DIY fabric garland banner: select your favorite assortments of fabric and have them cut to half a yard. Cut strips of each fabric, tie them onto a long string of jute until you achieve the desired look
DIY Name: I purchase the heavy duty burlap cardstock from Hobby Lobby and I ordered DIY letter templates to stencil the letters with paint
DIY Photo Booth
DIY triangle and round garlands: get triangle and circle punches and start punching until your hands are numb
DIY scalloped doily garland: Made with paper doilies by folding then in half, glue the ends together but leave the folded section unglued so that jute can be inserted and the halved doilies can be adjustable along the jute
DIY pom poms
DIY floral mason jar tags
DIY favor bags topped doilies
DIY balloon tassels and high chair fringe garland: Made from plastic table clothes so they would be lightweight!
DIY vase décor: get threads of coordinating colors to wrap around the neck of vases for delicate details
DIY heart shaped cupcake toppers and donut hole inserts
Downloadable Shabby Chic Photo Booth Props were purchased on Etsy
Downloadable Shabby Chic Water Bottle Labels
Rose Shabby Chic Scalloped Banner was purchased on Etsy
Cake was made by Maria Carlo of Doux House! Delicious!

Holiday Tablescape

Posted on November 29, 2016December 21, 2016 by sarominspired

You are probably wondering how do you go about creating your own awe-inspiring tablescape. Well… give it some height. Give it some width. Don’t be scared to take up the entire space. Look for items you already have. Look in your closet. It does not have to be elaborate. It does not have to be shiny. Or glittery. Add small delicate details. Then add some more details. And then step back and look what is in front of you.

The details:

$2.50 Hobby Lobby Clear Vases
$1 Hobby Lobby Red Berries
White pitchers, nutcrackers and candle holders are recent finds from Home Goods
Wood slices and candles are a collection gathered throughout my years of hoarding
The weathered white metal reindeers… I am certain it is from either Michael’s or Hobby Lobby post-Christmas finds
The wooden snowflakes on the backs of each chair is from a wooden garland I found post-Christmas at Marshall’s last year. I cut off each snowflake and added jute to hang them off each chair
I am sure the floral garland is a post-Christmas find from previous years at Hobby Lobby. If you find there are gaps and holes in certain areas after you lay down the garland, purchase those $1 floral stems at Hobby Lobby to fill in the gaps
For the napkin display, cut off any green foliage you have, add berries, cinnamon stick and jute to tie them all together… and VOILA!

Okay… now I am off to tackle the Christmas tree decorations!
