S'mores Bar

Summer time is in full swing and that means it's time to break out the s'mores.  We recently celebrated Queen Bee's graduation with a party for our family and friends and since her very favorite treat is a s'more, we knew a s'mores bar would be the perfect dessert for the party.  

For roasting the marshmallows, we had Sterno pots set along the table in aqua colored pails that we found at Target for $1.00.  In the middle of the pots, a larger pail held our roasting sticks, which were metal skewers embellished with ribbons.  

We had a sign posted with s'mores recipe suggestions based on the party theme of travel and adventure.

Seasonal Decor Updates-Fourth of July Table Centerpiece

Fourth of July Table Centerpiece

On this post Seasonal Decor Updates-Spring Kitchen I shared how I keep my basic table centerpiece updated for the seasons by changing just a few key elements.  It's a super simple and inexpensive way to change things up a little and keep your home decor fresh and fun.  Today I wanted to share my patriotic table centerpiece that I use for the Fourth of July.  All I had to do to give it a completely different look is change the branches in the white vase out for flags.  I added a small succulent for a little more color and texture and that was it.  Wasn't that simple?  I hope this inspires you to change things up a little now and then.  Just a little change can make a huge difference in the feel of your home.
