noreply@blogger.com (Heather SettingforFour) — Wed, 15 May 2013 06:45:46 PDT

I love to decorate the front entry of our home for the seasons! Do you too?

Do you like to have pretty greenery and a seating area at the front of your home? Me too!

I love to create a warm and welcoming front entry to not only greet our guests but also for my family’s enjoyment too! It’s so important for our homes to have great ‘curb appeal’ for those reasons – and it doesn’t have to break the bank to do it!

Easy Online Shopping meets Pinterest Fun // Spark Studio has it all!

noreply@blogger.com (Heather SettingforFour) — Wed, 08 May 2013 03:00:14 PDT

Thanks to Walmart Labs for sponsoring today's discussion.

Being a busy mom of two teens I don’t have a lot of time to shop and I bet you don’t either!

I also dread shopping in crowded stores, trying to find someone to help me in a store or trying to find a certain size or color that’s not on display!

So now I try to do a lot of my shopping online. I Iove the convenience of being able to shop for exactly what I need without even leaving the house! I can click and purchase in my yoga pants, sip my coffee and not spend a dime on gas for my car!

Who doesn’t love that?

That’s exactly what you get with Spark Studio – a fun and easy way to shop online!

Spark Studio is easy online shopping meets Pinterest fun!

Bedroom Decor Inspiration // Curated Collection for Crane & Canopy

noreply@blogger.com (Heather SettingforFour) — Wed, 15 May 2013 06:51:52 PDT

As I mentioned earlier this year, I’m currently an interior decor student and am having so much fun learning all about residential interior decorating! It’s been my passion for a very long time and I’ve finally taken the steps to learn more about the field of decor and design!

I hope at some point to offer local interior decorating services myself and love to blog about decor, design and creating Design Boards, so I was super excited when Crane & Canopy contacted me to participate in their ‘Bloggers We Love program’!

Crane & Canopy, a new online shopping home goods company, asked me to curate a Bedroom Decor Collection for their website, revolving around my choice of one of their gorgeous bedding sets as inspiration! How fun!

While browsing their website it was extremely hard to choose just one bedding set from all of the gorgeous patterns and colors they offer, however one in particular did catch my eye: the patterned Noe Gray duvet set.

Here’s a sneak peek at my curated bedroom decor collection!

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a great weekend!

We finally had some warm weather this weekend – spring has been so late arriving this year! We did some yardwork, cleaned up our landscaping and enjoyed spending the weekend with our oldest son who is at military college finishing up his freshman year.

I won’t see him until August since he heads straight to boot camp after his final exams so I spent the whole weekend getting in lots of hugs!

Now let’s take a look at this week’s recipe features!

Even though spring hasn’t arrived here yet and two weeks ago we had a huge snow storm, I am in spring cleaning and decorating mode!

I’ve been putting away our boots and winter coats….adding fresh flowers to the table and a new spring wreath to our front door….

Thanks to a wonderful box of craft goodies that recently arrived from Blueprint Social (including Mod Podge Washout, Apple Barrel paint and stencil brushes) I was also able to make some new spring art with my son to add a beautiful pop of color to our home!
