My Daughter´s Third Birthday Party – Gabby´s Dollhouse Theme…

….

It was our daughter´s third birthday last week and it was the first year she fully grasped what was happening so I decided to let her choose the theme of her birthday party and she went with Gabby´s Dollhouse. It is a tv show on Netflix with a girl living in a dollhouse with a bunch of different cats. Each of them has its own strenght like music, baking, crafts and so much more. I personally think it is a very cute kids show and was pleased she picked out this one.

The Cake Table

I went all crazy for this area and I loved it. Birthday decor should be over the top as well as all over the place. I made a huge balloon arch to throne over the cake table. I always start with the theme and colors first so I browsed through amazon and found the perfect Gabby´s Dollhouse themed balloons. To make the arch a lot fuller I ordered a bunch of unthemed balloons in the right colors as well as a huge purple 3 to incorporate into the arch. 

Since the color of our wall did not blend in very nicely with the other colors I got these silver fringe curtains to put behind the table and under the arch and it worked out really well. I definitely liked how it turned out and it added a lot of glitter and dramatic effect to the whole set-up.

The garland has been included in the set of balloons and I worked it into the wall decor. Now since the hanging decor has been finished I moved on to the table. The heart of the table would be the cake so I placed it in the center and onto a purple sequin table cloth and worked my way around. Aren´t sequins just the perfect addition to add sparkle. I love it and use my sequin pieces at every possible event. Gathered quite the collection over the years. 

We had a Gabby´s Dollhouse themed cake on her actual birthday. I did not get the same cake for the kids party cause the kids aren´t to fond of the fondant in my opinion. So my MIL made a super cute cat cake and I added some cupcakes into the mix. Overall this was the best decision and it worked out great. 

 

The Grown-Up Table 

I have kept the grown-up area pretty simple cause first of all I did not want to take away the focus from the main area and also the parents did not care as much as the little ones. I went with confetti in the matching colors and put it onto the tablecloth like a table runner. I wanted to sprinkle it between the dishes at first but this was a much better idea cause there was not one piece lying on the floor after everyone was gone. The centerpiece of the table has been a huge bouquet of purple tulips. Overall I like the space very much that way. I looked like it belonged to the party but wasn´t too overwhelming. 

The Kids Table + Goodie Bags

I made it as easy as possible for the kids table so I got everything made of plastic or paper and threw it all out after the party ended. The Gabby´s Dollhouse paper plated had been a huge hit. I added paper cups and plastic forks and called it a day. 

The gift bags got a little more attention (going to share a reel with the inside as well). I decided to go with actual bags from amazon and was very happy that I did not take boxes although the bag were a little smaller than I thought. Nevertheless I made it work and was very pleased with the outcome.

Recent Home Decor Finds to freshen up our Living Room…

….

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

I love home decor. Always have and probably always will but I would lie if I wouldn´t admit that my home decor style has changed drastically over the years. I will also say it has gotten much better. 

For example I loved to paint and decorate every room in a different color. This was not only hard work but also pretty silly cause nothing fit together right and also if there is too much color you will get fed up pretty quick. You can not change decor throughout the rooms and it restricts you to get cute new things from time to time. 

I have changed up a few things lately and wanted to share my recent finds with you. Since sharing my redecorated living room last year I have only made a few very small changes. Amazon has a great selection of home decor. From coffee table books to plant supply to figurines, etc. there probably isn´t anyhting you won´t get.

Do you like to switch up your home decor from time to time? I mean not only seasonally like Fall and Christmas.

Pink and Red Table Setting for Galentine´s Day…

….

I love a festive table setting. If it is themed for a upcoming holiday even better !! Setting our table is so much fun for me and another way to get creative. 

Pip Studio has been a brand I have been collecting for quite some years now. Everytime there is a birthday or another opportunity to wish for something I mostly wish for a piece of their Love Birds collection. The color theme is fitting so great for Valentine´s Day I just couldn´t believe it. 

This gorgeous table setup was supposed to be for a Galentine´s Day coffee date in the afternoon with lots of delicious dougnuts and sweet treats but it would also work for tapas and bubbly or a full dinner with a glass of wine.

Girl´s Room Organization (Clothes and more)…

 

….

I love an organized space. There is just something so comforting about a tidied up and organized area in our home. I could stare at it for hours. Yes I am definitely weird in that way. 

I have already shared the girl´s decor so for today´s post I wanted to share how I organized their clothes and also other stuff like medicine, diapers and so on.

Let´s start with the closet. It is the Pax from Ikea and I have just customized it for our purposes. I got two clothes rails, one for Emilia and one for Helena to hang all of their dresses, shirt and overalls. 

The shelves are for baskets where I put the girl´s clothes in like socks, bows, onesies and pants. They are still small and all of their stuff is folded and fits in the baskets. The black labels are from amazon and easy to assemble. To add a little more aesthetics I added the golden lettering. 

About the baskets. I have searched up and down to get 4 in a row but I just could not find any that matched my needs so I went with 3 big and 1 small.

The big chest on top of the closet is for Emilia´s Summer clothes which still fit. It is a great storage option as well as a cute decor piece.

The cute boxes under the diaper changing table are from Ikea as well and they hold bathing suits and swimm diapers. 

In the drawers are diapers, wipes and changing pads.
