A Girly Sea Themed Nursery

I am so excited to share our baby girls nursery with everyone! It is everything I hoped for and know our girl will love growing up in it! 

When we found out we were pregnant, I immediately began looking at nursery ideas. My favorite store is Pottery Barn Kids. This was my first stop when we found out we were having a girl. There is something super adorable about a little girls nursery. I saw this room online and loved it. Hubby is a huge fisherman and I thought the sea theme would be right up his alley too. They happen to have the key west bedding set up in the store and it was just as fabulous in person. 

So without further adieu, I present our baby girl's nursery...

 

Crib - Kendall Fixed Gate Crib from Pottery Barn Kids

We are so happy with the final result! It makes me happy every time I walk in the room! Hope you enjoy!

Valentine's Day Recap

Hi everyone! I hope y'all had a great Valentine's Day and weekend! I feel like I have been out of the loop in the blog world this past week. Sometimes this thing called life happens and you just get busy, you know? 

Anyway, I still wanted to share some of our Valentine's fun, even if I am super a bit late. Better late than never right? :) 

I did a little decorating around the house, just a enough to make things look festive. 

(Picture captured before I added red roses to the vase so you can just imagine them! They're pretty, I promise!)

Hubby was super sweet and had this set-up waiting for me when I got home! He's a keeper!

So there you have it. Simple and sweet Valentine's at our house. We went to our favorite Italian restaurant for dinner. It was super yummy! What did you do for Valentine's Day?

Valentine's Decor - Things I'm Loving

We'll folks, I've been hit by Cupid's arrow. I am officially ready for Valentine's Day and another reason to decorate my house. I'm getting out my Valentine's Day decorations this week and have been looking around some other blogs and websites for new inspiration. I'm still loving the decor I used from last year (which I will share once everything is complete), but I think it's fun to add in a new decor or DIY projects each year. 

Here are some things I'm loving...

You can always find some great ideas on Pinterest. And Lil' Luna also has some great Valentine's ideas!

For recipes I always turn to Bakerella, Picky-Palate and Annies-Eats. 

Where do y'all go for Valentine's ideas? I'm always looking for new blogs to read and find ideas from, so please feel free to share!

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Christmas Cheer Link Party

Well, the Christmas bug has bitten me early this year. Is anyone else in the mood to decorate for Christmas? Some ladies over at a few of my favorite blogs are hosting a Christmas Cheer Link Party December 4th - 20th. I participated in a Fall Decor link party in October and it was a blast! 

I'll be sharing a Christmas craft, mantel, tree, recipe, and attire here on the blog so be sure to come and check it out! Isn't this fun! :)

I'm already getting down those red and green storage boxes and sorting through my Christmas decorations, while of course playing some Christmas music throughout the house! 

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Happy Fall!

Fall is in the air! Can you feel it? I am so excited we are entering into my favorite season. Cooler weather, pretty leaves, sweatshirts, football, fall decorating, fall baking, my birthday, hubby's birthday, the state fair, all things pumpkin! Are you getting the point??? I LOVE fall! :) 

It's looking a lot like fall at the Doyle's these days. We put up our fall decorations this past weekend and I am so excited to share them with you.

Fall wreath on the front door from Michaels. 

Mums, pumpkins, and gourds on the front steps. Love the pretty fall colors and how full the blossoms are. Let's hope I can keep these babies alive. 

Side note about the two largest pumpkins. We actually grew these beauties in our backyard.....by accident! Last year, I did a similar arrangement of pumpkins on the front steps. Before disposing of them, as a quick fix, I moved them to the back deck. One of the pumpkins fell off and apparently the seeds planted and the result...

It makes it extra special to display these at the house knowing we grew them. Props to my honey and his green thumb! We have had quite the garden this summer! 

Moving inside, we kept the mantle simple with pine cones and mini pumpkins. I also added some fall berries and flowers in the clay vase that resides there all year. I got a bag of cinnamon scented pine cones from Fresh Market. Isn't that the most wonderful grocery store ever? I could spend hours in there looking at all the interesting and yummy food! Back to the mantle. I got a bag of mini pumpkins and gourds from Home Depot for less than $5 which I have placed around the house. 

  The dining room table is set with place mats and napkins from Crate and Barrel. I got these a few years ago and love the gold and orange color combination. The center bowl is filled with a pumpkin and gourd bowl filler that I got from Pier1 a few years ago that is similar to this. 

New to the table this year are copper leaf embossed chargers from World Market. The big flower napkin holders are also new from Michaels. 

So there you have it. The Doyle's are decked out for my favorite season! What do you think? Has anyone else decorated for fall?
