Thanksgiving Decoration Inspiration

Hello there, 3Ppretty peeps!  I know it has been a (blogger) lifetime since my last blog post.  I have taken a hiatus to enjoy life, travel, and stock up on a whole bunch of great experiences, and am now happy to let you know that 3P posts will be up now and then again!  It is many thanks to good friends and loyal readers for the inspiration to keep on keepin' on when it comes to this blog.  I do love to blog, and every day of life is filled with 3P inspiration.  So, with Thanksgiving right around the corner, I bring you some snapshots from Thanksgivings past at my house.  I always have a blast designing, decorating, and hosting this occasion, so read on to find some inspiration of your own.

 < burlap, lemon tree leaves, and a small squash haul make for a simplistic and festive centerpiece (seen here) >

 < a cheese tray styled in a turkey arrangement is so fun! >

 < a few autumn colors added to your living room can easily provide that comforting fall feeling >

< a warm and inviting fall fireplace >

 < silver, real, and faux leaves were the inspiration for last year's Thanksgiving tablescape- I also used a fun silver print wrapping paper from Target for the table runner >

Hey, use what you have plus a few small extras and you'll be amazed at what you can put together for a festive Thanksgiving!

3PbabyB yellow and gray nursery

To continue on the Mother's Day theme here on the blog this week, I am happy to share our 3P Baby B's nursery.  This room came together in a snap after a few months of planning, and I could not be happier with this space.  Most of the furniture in this room was kindly gifted by friends and family, but are great bargain investments from Target.  I nixed the idea of a changing table in favor of a dresser, which can be used by our daughter after she outgrows the nursery.  The gallery wall is one of everyone's favorite designs, and the DIY mobile I fashioned above he changing pad is one of 3P Baby B's favorite things to look at!  Yellow, white and silver were the color inspirations for this room, and that inspiration produced some dreamy results!  So if you are looking for a little yellow and gray nursery design inspiration, look no further!

Sleep sheep and a sweet horse.

This glider is perfection- the back is tall enough to rest your head against, and the armrests are the perfect height for holding my little baby as I rock her to sleep.

Love these DIY shelves my man built and installed in our baby's room.  Love talking to her about dreams and laughter everyday when I point out those decorations- I had these on hand and spray painted them silver, but you can find something similar here or here.

Totally love how this nursery gallery wall came together!


I made this little mobile with some leftover decorations from a 3PbabyB baby shower.

Everyone loves this adorable clock from my childhood room- find a similar one here.

Around my home: Classic Christmas Decorations

Sharing some Christmas cheer here today with a peek inside the 3P home!  The Christmas decorations are up and have this place feeling cozy and festive all day long.  I used decor that I had on hand to create the cheery decorative additions to each room, and changed things up a bit from last year's Christmas decorating to give a fresh feeling to the decor.  I am loving the green and silver in our living room, and our Christmas mantle is pretty much my favorite mantle so far.  Its a bit of photo overload on here today, but lots of visual inspiration for you to enjoy!

 < such a cozy room to spend the cool winter evenings cuddled up in- and looks like a brand new room from fall, no? >

< My favorite Christmas pillow- cover from Pottery Barn >

 < candles from Target and coasters from Pottery Barn (similar here) >

 < my thrifted bar cart, all gussied up for Christmas! >

 < loved creating these little winter scenes in glass canisters my sweet friend gave me! >

< stockings all hung by the fireplace with care >

< jingle all the way- stockings from Kohls >

< sparkly reindeer hangin' out by his sparkly silver tree >

< little Christmas table nook >

< reindeer plates and pinecones adding a little Christmas sparkle to this corner of the kitchen.  Had to keep the DIY photo booth props I made because everyone loved them so! >

 < red and gold spicing up this dining room >

 < a cheery Christmas table top >

 < Jesus is the Reason for the Season- a vintage nativity set I will cherish forever.  Similar set available here. >

< The first layered rug look I have ever done, and I love it for a Christmas vibe! >

 < I loved bra ping this red gingham quilt over the back of this couch for an easy festive touch >

< The most comfortable seat in the house- with plenty of Christmas cheer right beside it! > 

Hope you all love these decorations as much as I do!  If you ever want help decorating, you know to contact me- I always love it!

Fall bar cart update

Are you ready for the Thanksgiving celebrations to begin?  I am getting there, although I can hardly believe that this holiday is happening this week, eep!  One of my favorite ways to host events is to place snacks and libations in easy to reach locations for guests- and what better way to do this than with a simple bar cart!  Although this is not really a bar cart (it is a repurposed kitchen cart), it still serves the purpose of hosting supplies for guests and fun times.  This cart may actually get a serious makeover one of these days, but in the meantime I staged it with autumn colors and supplies as the perfect addition to a little fall cocktail gathering.  Cheers to Thanksgiving, my 3P lovelies!
