Well, I'm not saying that I can cook.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, I enjoy a good BBQ.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, what better way for me to contribute than to make something to organize all the BBQ tools?</div>

It's not summer without some s'mores.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I put together a few s'more ideas for you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Keeping it simple and cute.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Depending on your style, you might go for the "Lazy mom's S'mores". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Which is basically trail mix.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whatever your preference, stock up on some marshmallow, chocolate and graham crackers next time your at the super market. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Enjoy...</div>

Well <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/paintedhome/surviving-vacation/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>, you've done it again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You put so much good stuff online, I need to dedicate an entire post</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to your best summer-fun ideas for kids.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If we're lucky, they'll even learn something.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you've stopped by my blog, or even my house in the past couple of years, you know that no summer is complete without some temporary outdoor structure for my kids to hang in and, sometimes, even sleep in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year it's the gypsy tent.</div>

Here's how I brought some life to my back yard dining area<br />
with my World Market finds.<br />
There's something about the look and feel of the World Market<br />
store that inspires you.<br />
It's rustic, yet elegant all at the same time.<br />
<br />
Nothing like eating alfresco.<br />
Why does everything taste better outside?<br />

I live in the perfect little town of Ambler, PA.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's like Mayberry, USA.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once the sun comes out, people are everywhere.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a walkable, friendly town and I love that my kids are growing up here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a knock on your neighbors door and sit and chat</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for a while kind of neighborhood.</div>

Speaking of doors...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was sick of my dirty white door, so I mixed a few of <a href="http://modernmasters.com/products.asp?mode=category&bid=17" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Modern Masters Front Door Paint</a> together and came up with this perfect shade for my front door.</div>

I love that my front door stands out now, full of personality and color. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The paint dried quickly and I was able to close </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the door later that day with no chips!</div>

But I didn't want to stop there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My house is small, so I try to make as many usable outdoor spaces as possible.</div>

A few weeks ago I found out that <a href="http://www.gillesmarini.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Gilles Marini</a> (I know, blahh, right?? poor guy) had recently built a tree house for his 8 year old daughter and wanted to decorated the interior.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He reached out to <a href="http://www.worldmarket.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">World Market</a> for help, and World Market reached out to several bloggers for ideas to design the interior.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all created design boards (mine is pictured above) and Gilles chose his favorite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gilles chose Kelly Elko, from <a href="http://eclecticallyvintage.com/2016/04/gilles-marini-treehouse/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Eclectically Vintage</a>, design board.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I love the white <a href="http://www.worldmarket.com/category/outdoor/furniture/dining.do" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">outdoor wicker chairs</a><br />
and the <a href="http://www.worldmarket.com/category/outdoor/decor/rugs-mats.do" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">outdoor rugs</a> used in the space.<br />
Kelly used <a href="http://www.worldmarket.com/category/outdoor/cushions-pillows.do" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">outdoor cushions</a> to cozy up the place and it works perfectly.<br />

Yup, I can't get enough of terrariums or succulents of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
any kind for that matter... planted in any way, shape or form.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My addiction started when I realized you pretty much </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
can't kill these little suckers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, after I set up my newly <a href="http://www.thepaintedhome.com/2016/04/how-to-refresh-your-outdoor-space.html" target="_blank">refreshed deck</a>, I wanted to accessories with some homemade terrariums/succulent gardens. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's something about creating something,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
no matter how simple, that's therapeutic to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, yesterday I took a seat outside under the sunshine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(which has been sorely missed for what seems like weeks)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and put together this terrarium/succulent garden.</div>

Summer is almost here. And you known what that means?<br />
Entertaining outdoors.<br />
You know I love a good <a href="http://www.thepaintedhome.com/2016/04/how-to-refresh-your-outdoor-space.html" target="_blank">outdoor room</a>,<br />
but what's an outdoor room without a bar?<br />
<br />

When I saw this cart on the <a href="http://www.antiquefarmhouse.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Antique Farmhouse</a> website, I knew it was for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wasn't even sure where I'd put it, but it was screaming "bring me home!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My first thought was to make it a side table for my son's room...and that still might happen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also thought about using it as a sofa table.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
Since the nice weather is here, this<br />
kitchen cart is starting out on the deck.<br />
I have to warn you...it is <b>NOT</b> an outdoor table. It's for indoors.<br />
I'm not afraid to put in a little work for the sake of a beautiful outdoor bar...and hello! it has wheels. So if the weather turns rotten, I'll just wheel this baby indoors 'til the rain passes.<br />

I loved the selection on the Antique Farmhouse website. This cart came unassembled, but was simple to put together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The site is full of products with sweet details, rustic finishes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and time worn charm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are also "daily deals" you can sign up for.</div>

So, what are you waiting for! Go check out </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few weeks ago I loaded up my SUV an headed to the Philadelphia Convention Center to create a "ski chalet" out of an outdoor shed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few days, a lot of help and elbow grease and this is what I got...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Pretty much a full service entertainment center for your own backyard!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Complete with shutters and window boxes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The entire "chalet" was blinged out with hi tech speakers, flat screen TV, a remote controlled fireplace and a custom one-of-a-kind sled chandelier!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
TV and sound from <a href="http://hifisales.com/" target="_blank">Hi-Fi Sales</a> and Fireplace from <a href="http://www.touchstonehomeproducts.com/fireplace.html?gclid=CjwKEAiAmNW2BRDL4KqS3vmqgUESJABiiwDTz2GJqfQtTIN-Kk5KmGIgCXwLpBr5BR1ofT3GNyF1BxoC3WXw_wcB" target="_blank">Touchstone Home Products</a>.</div>

I made sure I thought of everything a group (or pair) of adults might need while enjoying date night in their own backyard.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A handmade sofa table from Superior Renovations works perfectly for a bar, which held my favorite vintage glassware from <a href="http://impactthrift.org/" target="_blank">Impact Thrift</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Some simple, but cozy arm less chairs, pillows and throws from <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/" target="_blank">IKEA</a> make this chalet the perfect place to cozy up with a movie and cocktail.</div>

Did you ever notice that most people dress the same way they decorate their house?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's true. Glitzy and glammy? I guarantee their house is over the top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Blahh and boring - not a stitch of excitement to be seen in their home decor.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Same goes for me. I tend to decorate myself the same way I decorate my home. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A little eclectic, fun - and always something interesting to look at. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's what got me hooked on <a href="http://www.woodwatches.com/#thepaintedhome" target="_blank">Jord Wood Watches</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They're warm and cozy, and have an element of surprise to them when you find out they are made of wood. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, lucky for Tom, his birthday was coming up right around the time I became obsessed with <a href="http://www.woodwatches.com/#thepaintedhome" target="_blank">Jord</a>.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose the <a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/series/fieldcrest/dark-sandalwood/#thepaintedhome" target="_blank">Fieldcrest Dark Sandlewood Watch </a>for Tom. I love the dark chocolate wood against the simple black face.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course now I'm wanting a <a href="http://www.woodwatches.com/#thepaintedhome" target="_blank">Jord watch</a> for myself....<br />
which is really how this whole thing started.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the look of the wood watch...and I don't even wear a watch, but I'm definitely adding it to my "must have" list.<br />
Tom didn't wear a watch either, but he does now! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
The wood watch fits in perfectly with my house.</div>
Between my farmhouse wood table top, my burlap seats, and the ticking striped table runner...it was like it was meant to be!<br />

I'm a sucker for a tier tray.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've got marble ones,wood ones, wire ones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You name it, if it's a tier tray or a cake stand I'll buy it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since our house is so tiny, it's nice to have the things you use out in the open and still lookin' pretty. The tiered trays are the perfect place to display little collections too.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had so much fun at the <a href="http://www.worldmarket.com/category/code/montgomeryville-grand-opening.do" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Montgomeryville, PA World Market Grand Opening </a>last week. It was my second time in a World market store ...and, as usual, World Market did not disappoint! If I could create a store filled with all my favorite things...World Market would be it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This trip I focused on table top decor.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like these little cutie mason jar salt and pepper shakers. Anything blue and mason jar - I'm all over it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not to mention the wire tiered tray I've placed all my goodies in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The tray is the perfect size for my dining room table, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
plus it doubles my storage area.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love to layer it with my vintage wood "A-Treat" crate.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
How about these succulents! You know I love to add a little plant life to my vignettes, and succulents are pretty easy...but nothing gets easier or prettier than these faux succulents planted in the perfect little wood box.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This black and white runner was the perfect solution for our family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I get the fabric look I like, with a farmhouse feel. And the kids keep their dirty hands off of it since it only runs down the center of the table. </div>

I must have seen at least a dozen people I knew there.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so happy to finally have a World Market in my neck of the woods.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It will definitely be on my weekly must stop at list.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has everything from candles, soaps, curtains, kitchen items, food, home decor, furniture...I could go on forever!</div>
