Whitney's Kitchen Bridal Shower!

My Pumpkin is getting married in 5 days!!! So i thought I would share her bridal shower. I love this girl and was so excited to help throw her the perfect shower. She loves cooking so we decided go with a kitchen theme. I love how everything turned out.

all the printables were from http://www.mkkmdesigns.com/

The tables

A few close ups- Flowers were purchased at the local Farmers Market

Mini Rolling Pins from Hobby Lobby

Cupcake pan with some snacks

All of us bridesmaids brought over our kitchen aids to fill up with a flower arrangement- love how they turned out!

The gazebo ended up being the perfect place for the gifts

The beverage table

We did a different take on the don't say "Blank" game. instead of using the usual safety pin or boring object, we used cute bangle bracelets that I got at Forever 21

Lisa and Whitney whipped up these adorable favors

The printables were purchased from https://www.etsy.com/shop/MKKMDesigns 

I sent out a recipe card with every invitation so all the guest could bring their favorites for Whitney to fill up her cookbook

Got Wreaths

Since fall is upon us I was inspired to jaz up my front door a bit with a new fall wreath. I saw a burlap bubble wreath on Pinterest 3 years ago when the wonderful world of Pinterest sucked me in lol. I was to intimidated to try making a wreath myself. It looked way to complex. A few weeks ago I purchased all my supplies and gave it my best try.

I was very impressed so I posted a picture a picture of my hard work on my Facebook.... And everybody loved it. They all wanted one of their own. At that time I told them no. Aparently I found the hard way to make them, with the tutorial I followed a wreath took 1hr and 45min just to do the burlap.

My grandma wanted one and I just couldn't say no to her so I went searching for an easier way... And I found it! I will add my own tutorial soon. I kind of went crazy after that. Here are a few of my creations.

Grandmas

My cousin Tara's San Francisco Giants Baseball wreath- complete with some of the years they won the World Series and the names of everybody in her house- including her dogs.

I ended up adding a "do not disturb" sign to this one for my two cousins who work graveyard shift. I forgot to get the finall picture :(

Sorry some if the pictures don't hane the best quality.

Love this one

This is everybody fav! I love how it turned out.

I love the color pop :)

This is another favorite. But I couldn't get any more of these signs.

Construction theme wreath for my favorite little guys 3rd bday :)

What my arm rests on my couch has been looking like lately. Lol

Some of the signs I have been collecting these past few weeks for my wreaths.

I'm hoping I don't get burned out on all this wreath making cause so far I'm loving it! I can't wait all the other holidays now :)

While the husband was away....

I got to work with Operation Make Our House a Home... If you ask my it was pretty successful. Here's some pictures of some of my updates!

The curtains all came from Ross. I believe they were all $15 for a set. I have been collecting  the "R" for the past year. I'm in love with the boot picture! When I had the Whiskey and Rhinestones booth at The Red Bluff Bull and Gelding Sale the neighboring booth was selling the boot picture. My amazing grandma heard me talking about it and bought it for me :). The rug also came from Ross- It was the perfect color scheme and only $14

Tin "R"- Ross $12

Shelf mirror on the left- Yard Sale- $2

The small boat paddle was $5 at a thrift store. 

I scored the mirror in the corner from Hobby Lobby- only $12, originally $118.

Trunk was a Craigslist steal for $20

I refinished the coffee table, she the step by step process here

The White crate was form Joann's. I payed about $5 after a coupon. I painted it white, sanded it and wiped stain on it. Its now perfect for our remotes on the coffee table.

Sorry for the clutter and my dog, Sage.
I gave the bookcase a makeover with fabric it cost less than $10 and makes such a big difference.
The chest in the corner was another Craigslist find for $50. The ladder was free from my mom and used to be in a chicken coop lol

Paisley runner rug- Ross- $14

Close up of my purty table :)

This rug probably wont stay right here to long. Its actually a patio rug from Lows. I couldnt pass it up for only $12. One day when I get the energy ill re do my patio... Until then, I think it looks great where it is.

My bar tools are a work in progress. Sorry for the dark picture.

My counter was over run with clutter. So I purchased a wooden crate from Walmart- $8 and spray painted it white. For under $10 its the perfect way for me to organize all my cookbooks and it fits in with my rstic decor.

One of my best friends painted me the Sunflower picture a few years ago. Shutter is from a resale store. I believe I paid $5 for it. It has been all over with me at Whiskey and Rhinestones shows.

Sage approves :) I think I was successful on adding more charm and color to our home... and best part I didn't spend tooo much. Out of the items I did purchase, it was a span of a few years. Bryan was a little overwhelmed once he got home, but he said he didnt hate it :) lol
