Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links/ Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affilate Links)
since the weather around here has been so unstable I am a little behind on getting my garden ready for Spring and Summer but there is one thing I have already accomplished and that is planting my herbs.

I love to cook and of course fresh products from straight out of the garden are way better than dried ones or frozen ones (don´t get me wrong I am using them as well).

So I planted my most used herbs. I didn´t want to put them into the earth cause when there are huge thunderstorms there is way to much water and lots of plants are damaged by that so I got this grey planter in wooden optic.


The herbs I planted are parsley, lemon balm, basil and chives. These are the greens I am using for most of my recipes so that is all I have planted so far. Maybe I am going for a second planter too but I first have to choose other herbs


The tricky point for me is how to keep them alive as long as possible. I honestly have never been good with plants or flowers. Don´t get me wrong I love flowers but they just don´t like me. 


Wishing you guys a great and hot weekend. Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
it has been a while since we moved in and I shared my first living room reveal. Don´t get me wrong our living room was furnished but it wasn´t fully ready. View the original post here.

From time to time and piece to piece I have been swapping items I didn´t like, into some I really loved. For example the pretty lamp (very similar here). I wanted it so badly and didn´t know where to put it so I built the whole console table construction around. But pst! don´t tell my fiancé 😉
I am totally loving the white and gold combination but for the living room I went for silver, taupe and white and some pops of blue. Since I already had so many pieces in this style.
The center piece of course is the sofa. It might seem big but sometimes it still is a little small for the three of us. Especially Chloe needs lots of space!! The coffee table is my favorite table in the house. I love the shabby chic white and grey optic. Looks like the table has been in our family for many many years. The TV console is a rack I got from Ikea some time ago. The TV takes a huge space away but I really enjoy having this small space left on the right side to set up some decor with candles.

Another piece I really adore and which is one of my latest additions is the consol table behind our sofa. I have seen it in so many other living rooms and I totally fell for it. First of all it is practical cause I can put my mug onto it. My arms are way to short to get to the coffee table. And of course it was another little nook to decorate. 

The dining table makes a great centerpiece too. I searched for a white table with white legs and a glossy finish for such a long time. This really is a rare piece. Hope it is going to last a long time. Although when we are having kids we need to get a bigger and extendable table. The chairs are from Ikea and I love that they are forever available. I first had three of them back in my small appartment. And when we moved we got another set of three and these are the exact chairs. So when we opt for a larger table we only need to get a few more chairs instead of swapping them all.
My golden bar cart is a must-have for every living room. You can spot one in every blogger´s home and boy they can be expensive. I got mine from Ikea (seems like my living room is out of their catalogue) and since it was a creamy color I bought some golden spay paint and changed the color. You can view the post about my Summer bar cart here and my Valentine´s Day bar cart here.
I have linked everything I could find and also a ton of similar items under the pictures and in the widgets below.

How to – candy Easter baskets for your brunch guests…


for table scape details have a look at this post / chocolate bunnies Lindt amazon / chocolate eggs Lindt amazon / Jelly Beans Lemon amazon / Easter grass amazon

….

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
the Easter fun continues today. After sharing the perfect dress for brunch here and our table scape in the 2018 color of the year here I am back for a cute DIY for joyful guests.

After setting up the tables I was thinking about what about a little something for everyone who is guest at our annual brunch ? Why not right.What is my first source for finding some inspo – right Pinterest. 

Guys you have to get on there if you are searching some ideas for Easter whether it is about decoration, Easter baskets or brunch ideas.

I didn´t found the exact idea on Pinterest, in fact it was a recipe for an Easter treat which looked identical so I came to my idea.

I got these little baskets at Nanu Nana. They where 95 cents each. Filled them up with grass or hay and put green Jelly Beans on top of it to rebuild the grass in tasty treats. 

The next step was to add chocolate in form of Easter bunnies. There wouldn´t be Easter without chocolate. I love Lindt chocolate. It is a bit on the pricey side but I think it is absolutely worth every penny.

And voila. They are super cute and also tasty and to much so you couldn´t eat them after brunch or just keep them during the Easter time.
Do you like them? Did you make any treats for your brunch guests or just made baskets for the little ones?
Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
Be sure to check back for my favorite cake recipe tomorrow.

Hi guys,

(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)

since Easter is on Sunday already I thought I might share my 2018 easter table scape with you to give you some
inspiration for your brunch set up. I decided to go with the pantone color of
the year and incorporated lots of ultra violet which I totally adore. In my
opinion gold pairs way better than silver with the purple shades so I went with
golden easter eggs and golden cutlery also aren´t these glasses just the cutest?!


The pussy
willow branches are from the nearest garden center but I think you can get them
everywhere around this time even at your local supermarket. I have them every
year cause they are a real easter symbol for me. You can see last years Easter
table scape here. I had a pink and orange theme and loved it.

The eggs
are all different but that is how I wanted it to look and since they have the
same color pairings this really works for the table. The table runner are from
Butlers and they are in a thick and nice material, double sewed so they would
also work for your outside dining area. 

Do you already have plans for Easter are you inviting or are you invited ?

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
