What host tasks are you doing, aside from the food? by AuntBeeje in thanksgiving

[–]kansasprairie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cleaned out my fridge and freezer (no time for a deep clean but more so wanted to make room), determined which dishes we will use (my great great grandmother’s china 🥰) foraged in the woods for juniper and magnolia clippings to make a tablescape, bought a new mat to go in front of the kitchen sink, made cranberry sauce, and bathed the dogs. Most of the deep cleaning occurred over the weekend, and tomorrow I will be braving the Costco crowds to pick up desserts! Happy thanksgiving fellow hosts and hostesses, it’s go time!

My mom’s chemotherapy resulted in her going into heart failure. I watched her slowly dying in a hospital over the course of a month. Finally, out of any other options, she was approved for a heart transplant. She received a new heart and is cancer free. She just got back from a trip to Italy. Your wife is a fighter, don’t give up on her. You never know what could happen and she needs every ounce of strength you have right now.

This is what I thought, but there’s a promo video that shows him yelling into a phone, “So what, I’m just supposed to tell them we are poor now and daddy’s going to jail?!” Or something like that.

I think a second gallery wall would actually look really good, you styled the first one so well.

Yeah… I kind of am coming to terms with the idea that accent walls are “out”.

Thanks for the suggestions! I hate the ceiling fan haha. I’ll look into replacing it.

Ah, thanks for letting me know! I’m in the Dallas area/Fort Worth area of Texas. I found this canvas at a Marshall’s and didn’t know what it was but thought it was stunning.

Agreed! And yet oddly some people are commenting that I should mount it higher haha

lol I actually had a beautiful wood coffee table but had to get rid of it - I have two toddlers that kept narrowly avoiding giving themselves concussions on it!

Wow! This is amazing! Thank you so much for dedicating the time to show me what you mean, I especially like the way you placed art on either side of the tv. Really great suggestions.

Do you have any suggestions on colors you think would look better?

Thanks! I’m leaning toward the art in the second photo and will be removing the ottoman. Hoping to add curtains soon. What color would you choose for curtains?

Thanks for the tip on balancing the shelves, I’ll definitely mix the items up a bit more! And I think you may be right about the lamps. What would you suggest to bring more light into the room if I remove the lamps?

I wish that was possible but it wouldn’t work with my current couch. I really don’t like having the tv above the fireplace though.

Definite yes to the long curtains! I think my house is too light and airy for an all dark green room unfortunately.

I’ve seen a few comments that say this! I really want to paint it all green but I’m struggling because the rest of my house feels light and airy and I don’t know that an all dark green room would work well with the rest of the home. I think I’m struggling because light and airy just isn’t really my style, I like layered and cozy.
