I bought this adorable console table from POTTERY BARN years ago. I use to stain it (natural) every year with my backyard furniture that matched. Last year, I finally got rid of the backyard furniture but I kept this sweet table and decided to turn it into a s'mores station and put it by our fire pit. Last year, I painted the table BLACK! But, for some crazy reason the paint I used didn't weather so well. This last weekend I gave it another coat... This time, I used Behr Paint. I'm hoping for a better result. Looks better, RIGHT?

Styling Cake Stands
I'm obsessed with cake stands! I think they are perfect addition to your Thanksgiving table. I love that you don't ALWAYS have to use them with desserts on them. You can use them with pumpkins on top, flowers, candles and even appetizers. I love how a cake stand gives the table some height and dimension. I also think it's special to mix and match your styles... I love during the Holidays using hand me down dishes, plates and cake stands. I have some amazing pieces from family members who have passed away. It gives me joy to use them while we are missing those family members during the season. SHOP THIS LOOK: This … [Read more...]

Five Daughters Bakery
During my Mastermind Retreat my friends and I went to 12th South shopping and happened upon this delicious Five Daughters Bakery where we found the most amazing doughnuts! This particular Bakery prides themselves on having a flakey type treat. These doughnuts are so different than any other I've ever tried. They are super flakey almost like layers of a croissant. However, they aren't savory they are sweet! If you are in the Nashville area I highly recommend you stopping by for a special treat. … [Read more...]
Biscuit Love
I think... YOU might think all I do is EAT? (laughing emoji) I have another restaurant to try IF you are ever in Nashville! BISCUITS LOVE... This is a breakfast place where you can indulge in biscuits and gravy. I couldn't decide so I picked a few things off the menu. Sweet Tea is always a must when traveling in the South, I got my gravy sauce on the side because I wasn't sure how much they put on and I wanted to taste it but I didn't want it to be soaked in gravy. Seriously, AMAZING! Going back for sure.. … [Read more...]
