Football Candy Bar Bouquet

Oh we are definitely having some football fever over here! Ahhhh! We are counting down to the big game this weekend. I don’t think I have ever been so excited for the game. mainly because my home team is in it!  I thought I’d share a quick post and share the Football Candy Bar Bouquet I whipped together for Sunday. It was super easy to make and would work great as a centerpiece.

Football Candy Bar Bouquet

I started with a pack of Hershey Bars and wrapped them in brown construction paper. Then I added some white ‘laces’. I used my Silhouette to cut mine out but you could easily just use scissors. Then I wrapped the paper around the bars and taped a wooden skewer inside.

For the stand I filled a glass vase (you can find this at the Dollar Tree) with mixed nuts and then poked the skewers in and filled it with green tissue paper. To hide the sticks and paper ends I just wrapped a simple piece of burlap ribbon around the top.

Cute centerpiece idea for the big Football Game!

Football Candy Bouquet! Looks easy too!

I’m ready!!! Are you hosting a party?

Euro Summer First stop Paris 🇫🇷. It’s been Euro Summer First stop Paris 🇫🇷. It’s been 19 years since I’ve been here and it’s even more magical than I remember! There is something truly special about this city. The architecture, the people, the most amazing pastries, and gorgeous gardens. Showing my family this city was a gift. I experience it in a different way each time and it just keeps getting better.

Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard furniture and decor! Unfortunately, when I get an idea I can’t stop until it’s done 😉. I got an itch to swap out our three chaise lounges for a large U-Shape sectional to create more seating and lounging poolside. I knew there was only one brand who could make this happen… I worked with @polywood to design a sectional that would be a complete custom fit for this little nook. I used the Braxton 6 Seat Sectional and added additional modular seats to get this look. I LOVE how it turned out! They can make anything happen! 

POLYWOOD outdoor furniture is made out of recycled plastics, making it durable in all weather climates. They also have a 20 year warranty.

POV: working with what you have and creating somet POV: working with what you have and creating something completely new! I kept all the original flooring, cabinets, backsplash and fixtures and did only cosmetic updates to update this space. I wanted to add more contrast, character, warmth and texture. By smoothing out the texture of the walls it instantly gave it an updated look, the new paint color added contrast, the wood ceiling added warmth and texture and all the antiques and vintage pieces gave it the charm. 🖤

LAUNDRY ROOM IS DONE ! This was a true example of LAUNDRY ROOM IS DONE ! This was a true example of working with what we have, turning something with great bones into something that is unique, custom and full of character. (Swipe for the before) It now feels like my own little escape to the French countryside every time I do laundry, and I’m not mad about it. 

Comment LAUNDRY for all the details and links!
