Decorate with Birch Wood Box Signs

 Decorative box signs are sold seasonally at nearly every store online and offline.  I have seen them at Walmart, Target, and at local craft stores.  The boxes came in pressed board others are thin wood like material and then there are quality made box signs that are made from birch wood.
 
I have bought inexpensive lower quality decorative box signs.  They served their purpose but they certainly did not last throughout the years.  A few years ago, I discovered an online print on demand store named Zazzle and they offered a better-quality decorative birch wood box.  
 
I liked the quality products offered at Zazzle and opened up a store where I created a few decorative wooden box signs.   I bought several of my product designs and other wooden birch boxes that were created by other artists.
 
I found that It’s easy to decorate with the birch boxes.  You can set them on a bookshelf, a table or hung on a wall.  They came in a variety of sizes so I could buy a few and feature them with other decorative items on wall, or display them on a mantle.   The wooden box signs were a great way to add interest to any room in your home or office.
 
Many of the designs on the birch boxes are templates which allow you to edit the box by adding your image or your text.  You could then print your artwork and create a thoughtful birthday, housewarming or another occasion gift for that special someone.
 
All of the boxes featured are my holiday designs that I created at my Susang6 Zazzle store.

Spring / Easter Home Décor Ideas

 When it comes time to decorate for the spring / Easter season I prefer to create a classic look by featuring spring floral home decor such as throw pillows, wall décor, wreaths, tablecloths, and runners. I will shop or I will design botanical home decor that features a spring blooming flower; daffodils, tulips, lilacs, and irises to name a few of my favorite spring botanicals.

Here is a vintage bunny rabbit tablecloth that I created at my Zazzle store. This tablecloth features spring flowers, colorful holiday eggs, and a darling bunny rabbit.  It coordinates well with classic or vintage spring-season home decor.



Along with the delightful floral decorations, I will add seasonal decorations to my living room.  I collect figurines by Jim Shore. The Heartwood Creek collection is adorable especially the pint-sized bunny or chick with egg figurines.



Know that I am a firm believer that less is more. I do not like clutter and this is why when I decorate the living room by adding splashes of color so that the neutral color scheme of the room is pleasing to the eye. The space must have ambiance and a delightful spring living room should feel cozy and welcoming to family and friends. 

This year I decorated my kitchen nook by cutting craft paper that I bought at Zazzle and lined the back section of my shelving. Then I added some seasonal rabbit decorations.

I really like the craft paper due to its weight and beautiful printing of the wildflowers, sky, and clouds.  I think my spring / Easter decorations look delightful.

AI Art Bigfoot/Sasquatch Home Décor

 

If you like Bigfoot/Sasquatch then you will love AI-generated artistic home décor.  Accent your space with uniquely created pillows, area rugs, and wall art.  The decorations will make your home look interesting with woodsy appeal.

Bigfoot is an enormous hairy human-ape-like creature that is said to live in densely wooded areas.  Many people believe that Bigfoot which is commonly called Sasquatch is real as Animal Planet and other television shows track and report their sightings with photographs and videos of hairy upright creatures.

However, when it comes down to actual DNA evidence none has been recovered.  But that does not mean that people are not believers in the mythical creature and that they do not decorate their homes with Sasquatch-designed pillows, wall art, and more.


If you are an enthusiast, a true believer, and a collector of Bigfoot home decorations then you will love the Ai- generated artwork by Minx267 at Zazzle.  


Minx267 is not new at creating Artwork as they have been utilizing artificial networks to create images since Nightcafe Studio launched.  Minx267 found that the generators can create realistic visuals based on the prompts that they provide.  The outcome is truly amazing and the Bigfoot home décor is stunning. 


Here are a few of Minx’s top-selling Sasquatch home décor.  Shop for pillows, wall art, coffee mugs, and more. These home accents also are thoughtful gifts for other bigfoot lovers.

Fall Season/Halloween Home Decorations

 This year I was slow to decorate the house because the weather is not fall-like.  There has been no change in the weather.  No crisp fall days, no cool nights.  But In spite of the summer-like weather I wanted to get into the Fall / Halloween mood so I did decorate my living and dining room. I mixed the season and the holiday decorations and surprisingly it looks nice.

Here are a few photos of my coffee station and my china cabinet.  Both are located in the dining room.



 



This year I did shop online for a few things that would compliment my seasonal decorations. Amazon had Luminara Flameless LED Candles that had autumn leaves that were embedded in real wax.  The flame moved and the candles added a cozy ambiance to the décor in my living room.



 I also bought battery-operated orange lights from Big Lots.  I used these battery-operated lights to add soft color to my fall season wreath and the decorations that I put in my China cabinet. 

 


The tables were covered with seasonal linens that I bought at Zazzle.  The runner had a pumpkin and sunflower print on a white background and it was perfect on my buffet.

 


Know that I liked the way the Halloween and fall season decorations came together.  I did not utilize all of my decorations and think that less was more for this year.

Recently while shopping at Zazzle.com I found an artesian from Spain who created art deco and nouveau vintage flower and bird ceramic tiles. These tiles would look stunning in the kitchen or bathroom. But you could also use them as an accent wall in an office and on the top of a table.

Shop for a side table at a yard or garage sale then update the look of it by adding ceramic tiles to the top.  This is a good way to update your space and I love this idea.  Here is a photo from my Ceramic Tile pinboard. 


Here are a few of their ceramic tile designs that would look fabulous in the kitchen or bathroom.

In the past, I would buy ceramic tiles to set on my bookshelf as an accent.  I liked the earthy appearance of the ceramic tile and thought it was a nice way to compliment my seasonal or holiday decorations.  But after finding these beautiful tilese at Zazzle.com  I am inspired to be creative. 

Another way to update your home with ceramic tiles is to add them to a staircase.  

Update your staircase with ceramic tile 


Know that you can update the look of your wall décor by framing the ceramic tiles and then hanging them in a group of four or more.  I also like the décor idea of surrounding a large wall mirror frame with ceramic tiles.  Get inspired to decorate with ceramic tiles by viewing my Pinterest board here

Benefits of Digital Invitations Vs Paper

 I don't normally write about stationery but thought I would talk about the benefits of digital invitations.  Many of my social media friends have been asking so here's what I think.  I really like digital invitations for birthday parties, business dinners, and baby and bridal showersDigital invitations take the work out of planning a party.

Modern Food on Forks Digital Engagement Invitation 


Digital invitations are not only less work, no need to fold the paper invitation and put it in an envelope.  You save time and effort plus a digital invitation costs less considering you do not have to buy a postage stamp or buy multiple paper invitations.


Know that Digital invitations offer more flexibility than paper invitations because you can easily make changes or updates to them.  Digital invites are what's in style now.  You can edit the template with your information, buy, download, and email or share the invitation on social media with your family, friends, and co-workers.

So, if you are convinced that the benefits of digital invitations outweigh the traditional paper invitation then shop online at Zazzle.com to find a template invitation that meets your occasion needs.

How to Dry Hydrangea Flowers for Home Décor

 In the spring I was given a stunning Nikko Blue Hydrangea. The blooms were long-lived but when they started to fade, I decided to dry the flowers and use them to decorate my home.

 


I dried hydrangea flowers once before and it took the flowers approximately 3 weeks to dry fully.  

There are many ways to dry hydrangea flowers, I did the simple method of cutting a 3-inch stem along with the flower and then hanging the flowers so that they face the floor.  Dry the flowers in a room that is dry and the light is dim, with no direct sunlight.

 


Once the flowers are fully dried you would keep your hydrangea looking nice with hairspray as it will prevent the flower from falling apart.  

 


When it comes to decorating with dried hydrangea flowers know that you can add them to other dried flowers in an arrangement or create a bouquet of dried hydrangeas to use in a vase. 

 

You can also buy a floral tape or wire to attach the flower stems to a wreath or to add to a Christmas tree.
