New Look For The Entry

Hello Everyone!  
How is your week going?  
Mine has been busy as usual but a little lonely!  
Miss Beaux went back to college 
on Monday and I am missing her already.  
Mr. Beaux was traveling to a work conference 
for half of the week.  
That left me all alone with the Bubs!  
I thought I would get a ton of stuff done 
while I was alone but that didn't happen.  
My two sons filled my calendar 
with visits to my home gym from one 
and a trip to the dog park with the other...  
I did however manage to change 
my entry table up a bit.  
Last time you saw it I had the lemon arrangement 
in my blue and white footbath.  
My goal is to keep things as simple 
as I can around the house 
and change as little as possible 
while it is for sale.  
So, with that in mind...
I kept the bouillotte lamp 
and the blue and white container 
and changed what was around it.  
I am trying to lighten things up 
as the weather moves from winter to spring.  
So, the footbath was filled with hydrangeas.  
Sadly, they are fake and not real.  
I had some dried hydrangeas from my garden 
but I wanted a really soft and light look so I used the fake.  
Sometimes you just have to use fake flowers!  
They are not so bad really...
I placed my new candy dish from 
Nell Hill's on the table also.  
The white really lightens everything up.  
I will put the chocolates out when we have visitors 
but for now it is locked up tight!  
Time to tighten up the calories after Christmas!  
This blue and white plate is an Estate Sale find.  
I set it atop two old books 
that were also found at Estate Sales.  
I like to add height with books.  
An easy change midwinter for the front entry!  
I think it just lightens everything up a bit... 
Our weather here has been nice too... 
But don't worry, 
I'm not fooled into thinking it is Spring just yet!

Until Next Time,
Beaux R'eves,

Easy, Economical Floral Centerpiece for Winter

How was your weekend?  
Mine was fast and furious!  
But it ended well with a fun trip to Nell Hill's!  
I took Friday off of work 
and woke up all ready to relax 
and wouldn't you know I got a text 
that there was a showing of the house  
scheduled for Saturday.  
The house was still in post Christmas state 
with some rooms kinda barren...  
I was shooting for the Tuesday 
Realtor Open House as my deadline, 
but it looked as if it had been moved up for me.  
So I got my rear in gear 
and started in on finishing up my 
"Refreshing" of the house.  
I figured that whatever I did would have 
to last until Tuesday 
because I wasn't redoing it.  
So, first on my list was the Entry Way.  
Last time I showed it to you 
the beautiful blue and white footbath 
from Nell Hill's was filled with Winter Greens and pears.  
In order to save time 
and the frustration of hunting 
for things in the storage area, 
I decided to create a new floral in the same bowl.  
I've shown you this same idea 
before with a tutorial HERE
It's fast and easy, economical, 
and it lasts a long time.  
I always love the way the yellow lemons 
look with the blue and white!
I didn't have to change anything else on the table!  
It should last way beyond Tuesday 
with just a bit of refreshing to the flowers.  
The half lemon can be replaced also 
or, if you cheat like me, 
you can just slice a little more off to refresh it. 
Entry way done now off to the other rooms 
before the showing!  

Until Next Time,
Beaux R'eves,
