Thoughts on My Spring 2020 Fireplace Decor

It’s August and it’s about time I start looking at the decorations I have up to consider what I want to keep out on display until late September and what I don’t. After going around my house, I feel torn about taking down my current decor display on the fireplace.

I put it up in March, right before lock downs took place due to Covid-19. It turned out to be the display I needed to get through this trying time. It is a simple decoration, a magnolia leaf garland I bought at Michael’s craft store on sale in Spring 2019 and a picture frame with a plexiglass with the words “Grow through what you go through” I bought in Target’s Dollar Stop also in Spring 2019.

2019 Christmas House Interior Decoration Progress- Part 1

Last year, I did a horrible job decorating my house for Christmas. It was so bad, I didn’t even put up a tree! There was many reason for this (Including recovering from an antibiotic resistant infection I had for many years), but this year I wanted to put some effort into decorating. The problem is I didn’t like many of my old decorations. They worked well when I purchased them, but that was over 5 years ago when my lifestyle was different and I needed to take care of an ill family member. I did do some shopping for new decorations, but I didn’t find exactly what I was looking for. (I did find stuff for my home office, but that’s for another post) So, I made do with the decorations I did love an enjoy decorating with and decided to see if there was anything I could buy to add to this year’s decorations.

So, I even though I believed I would have all my decorating finished before today (The day this post goes live), I’m not. Despite this, I wanted to share everything I’ve done so far and talk about what I want/need decoration wise before I can call my Christmas decorating finished.

Fall isn’t here yet but the fall home decor is! While out shopping I found some shabby chic/feminine fall decor in addition to the normal colored and style decor.

Hobby Lobby Fall and Autumn Decor- July 2019

It’s not fall yet and, if you look at Arizona’s temperatures right now, it looks like fall will never come. But if you walked into Hobby Lobby in July, you would see more fall decor than summer.

I’m a huge holiday fan, so seeing the fall decor always makes me excited for the temperatures to cool off. Although I’m waiting for fall to start before I decorate, I wanted to share my favorite displays and fall decor I saw during the month of July.

Hobby Lobby Shop with Me Part 3- January 2019

Well, I’m at the third and final post in my Hobby Lobby shop with me series from January 2019! For today’s post, I wanted to share all the decor I took photos of, including wall art, clocks, and mirrors. I found this part of the shopping trip the most inspirational for me. It provided me with ideas and inspiration for areas of my house I had problems with and couldn’t find the right decor for.

So, without further ado, let’s get on with the post! Continue reading “Hobby Lobby Shop with Me Part 3- January 2019”

Hobby Lobby Shop with Me Part 2- January 2019

In last week’s post, I shared the photos I took of the furniture displays at Hobby Lobby.

Since I wanted to share these photos and took so many photos, I split the photos into two posts, one for furniture (This post) and a second for home decor (Part 3).
