We need to have a conversation. Can we stop with these beautiful day teases?! I just want to set up my back patio and finally get in the Spring/Summer mood!! Is that too much to ask?<br />
<br />
I'm sure everyone who lives in a state that gets all 4 seasons is feeling the same way. SO why not resort to blogging and just talk about what we are excited about lol. Ive been seeing tons of wicker-esk things going on lately and I'm loving it. It's funny though, growing up I thought wicker was like super cheap stuff and we just had it because they sold it at Walmart. Boy was I wrong. It's an amazing material that gives off the perfect texture vibe in any space. Yes, some wicker stuff is CHEAP, but other items are classic and beautiful.<br />
<br />
I've shared some wicker <a href="https://nat-simons.blogspot.com/2017/03/happy-spring-lets-talk-patios.html">patio furniture before</a> but I'm here to talk about everythinggg wicker and share some good finds.<br />
<br />
I love the idea of these wicker/bamboo pendants. They may be a trend but I still love the idea... it gives the room some character! Here are some great examples -<br />

<br />I could go on and on here but I'll stop. Everything above is either Wicker or Rattan -- pretty much the same type of thing. I just love the beachy look they all give. If you're unsure about this stuff, start small with some indoor/outdoor lanterns or maybe a few wicker table chargers! Keep an eye on sales too -- we all know some of the Target stuff is bound to hit a sale!! </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Hello! Hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend. The Simons family sure did! It was actually nice to be outside for a bit Sunday, I sometimes forget what sunshine feels like... I sadly didn't have much Easter decor to take down this week. I have a hard time splurging on decor items that can only be seen for like a 2 week span. Maybe I'll plan a little bit ahead for next year.</div>
</div>
<br />
Well, today, I want to talk wallpaper!! I was just bopping around <a href="https://www.bloglovin.com/blogs/nat-simons-18816405">Bloglovin</a> and came across this adorable bathroom makeover and totally fell in love with the look of the wallpaper. Here are the before and afters from <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/bathroom-remodel-wallpaper-242419">Apartment Therapy</a> -<br />

Like how amazing!!!! I think I'd probably sleep in the bathroom. Well the adorable paisley-esk wallpaper has totally inspired me and has me looking into wallpaper now. Not like I need to currently take on a wallpaper project but I have heard its not crazy difficult to put up! I've listed a few below, some are great for full room and other more so for partial room.</div>

I love the yellows for some reason! But I'm not crazy daring when it comes to big commitments like wallpaper so I would definitely need some neutral tones throughout to make sure the room was light enough. I love the top left one from Serena & Lily! It would be super cute in a bathroom or even a study! </div>

How amazing are the botanical ones?! I'm in love!! Like I said, I'm not as daring to put these in an entire room but they would look amazing as an accent wall or even above a chair rail. Blue and green hues are really in this season, so why not try something a tad daring. And all the ones Walls Need Love are ADHESIVE! That means sticky back and easy to remove! Ahhhmazing!</div>

Ahh, I'm just obsessed currently!! Love them all! Love the idea too of using wallpaper instead of tile backsplash. Might not withstand as much but you can always change the wallpaper :)</div>

I'll watch 5 Fixer Upper re run episodes and not think twice about it. I just love how they operate and I love her sense of style. Some design things she does I think is alittle too antique for me but 90% of the time I'm in love!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Have you read their book - <a href="https://magnoliamarket.com/book/">The Magnolia Story</a> yet? You must!!! It's too cute, like really cute! You find out bits and pieces about them and just makes you love them even more (especially Chip!). So today I wanted to highlight some of my favorite designs of hers and then show off my first collage board!!</div>
<div>
<br />
<br /></div>

Some of these are older episodes and others are newer! But if you want to relive them and see other photos check out <a href="http://www.hgtv.com/shows/fixer-upper/photo-galleries">their gallery on HGTV.com</a>!</div>

I just love what she does. I'm a huge fan of reworking wood floors to give them a pattern, and she just slays the game every single time! I love how they have the design focus little spin off going on now. Not like I'll ever be her, but hey I can at least take her advice and pretend 🙌<br />

Since I just cant get away from the whole kitchen obsession (obviously by the pictures above) I've put together a few cute things I'm dreaming of for my space. PS obsessed with round tables recently. Even Emily Henderson is too - she just made this awesome <a href="https://stylebyemilyhenderson.com/blog/roundup-126-dining-tables-every-style-space">table guide!</a>! </div>

I'm talking dust, food particles, stray napkins, maybe some dog hair... The list goes on and on. I swear it's the most used piece of furniture in our house!! What gets me sometimes about decorating the coffee table is that people can get out of hand and there ends up being no room to put anything on the table! Please, please please, stop over decorating your coffee table. I see pictures on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/natsimons2/">Pinterest</a> sometimes and I can't help but laugh. That wouldn't last a second in my home before the stuff got moved to a side table or worse... the floor.<br />
<br />
I wanted to discuss how I design a coffee table in my home and offer some tips you can maybe take into your home!<br />

<h4>
1. Know the size of your coffee table</h4>
Doesn't need to be exact, but just know roughly length and width of it so when you go to Marshalls and see that amazing tray calling your name (Nat, Nat come buy meee, Nat, bring me hoooome!) you know if it actually fits.<br />

<h4>
<br />2. Three candles max</h4>
I know this is HARD! Especially when you get home from a Bath & Body Works sale and you've got 4 new candle scents you can't wait to light fire too! <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/the-rule-of-threes-and-other-odd-numbers-218086">Everything looks good in odd numbers</a>, we know that. So stick to 3 at most. 1 if you can <i>realllly</i> control yourself.<br />

<h4>
<br />3. Repurpose old magazines</h4>
I love using old magazines, especially the thicker ones. I love to stack them and put a nice bowl or a flower arrangement on top of them! I mean you have them so why not utilize them. The trend right now is <a href="http://www.elledecor.com/design-decorate/news/g2528/coffee-table-styling-ideas/?slide=1">stacking colorful books on the coffee table</a> (be careful, some of these tables have no space!!!😡). Here's the deal on that. If the book costs more than $15 is it seriously worth it? I can't get myself to give in. I'll just continue buying ($5) and stealing old mags from my mom. But if I do find a cute one at Marshalls and it's a pay week, I might give in.<br />

<h4>
4. It takes time to find small trinkets</h4>
I was looking forever to find small trinkets to put in a set of 3 hexagon wall hangings. I went to Target, Marshalls, Pier One, TJ Maxx, Target... every store. And it look me about a month to find what I was looking for. So don't fold and get something you're not in love with. Wait it out and over time design your table how you intended. I will say I am loving the geode trend!!! I need to get an arrangement of different sizes but loving them all right now! It's literally <a href="https://www.wilkieblog.com/wedding-inspiration/geode-wedding-trend/">taken over the internet</a> for weddings too.<br />

<h4>
5. Not joking - buy a new coffee table</h4>
This may sound crazy, but sometimes you've just been living with your hammy down coffee table for so long that you really can't stand the sight of it anymore. A new table can do wonders for your space. And by doing that, I'm sure it'll brighten your mood! Wait for a good sale at Target and spend the $50 for a small update. You can design something all you want but if the crux of the item is dead in the water, you'll never be happy thus buying insane amounts of trinkets you don't need.<br />

I know these aren't ground breaking insights but hopefully you can take something to use in your home!! The weather is finally get a bit warmer so I'm looking forward to doing a few updates maybe slap some paint somewhere too (if I'm feeling crazy)!! Let me know what little updates you're doing this season :)<br />

This obviously leads to a Target, Marshalls, Pier 1 or mall visit. Don't get me wrong, it's my favorite part of the weekend but sometimes you can't find what you're looking for and frustration sets in!!<br />
<br />
For example, I've been wanting to get something to put on our large fireplace. We really need to build a mantle, I think that's what is missing, but right now I'm looking for something cute to hang. I bought the cutest wall hanging from <a href="http://www.target.com/p/macrame-wall-hanging-black-16-rdquo-x28-threshold-153/-/A-51834380">Target</a> this weekend (I bought the white version). It just didn't end up being a cohesive piece in the living room.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH6wLrBBlRT4dx6CgDF5VSxfZpjqfr8lOysdvITc4uCYGtRYYf_muGjWqEV5go7wPj2BIRWQ3ki3ZfZQ2ZbUUbqTJyirXoiQki97ln4tDhA3pfH8B7i3tCMWqmeel0r2lM-9fQW12d8XmX/s1600/Target+Woven+Wall+Decor.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH6wLrBBlRT4dx6CgDF5VSxfZpjqfr8lOysdvITc4uCYGtRYYf_muGjWqEV5go7wPj2BIRWQ3ki3ZfZQ2ZbUUbqTJyirXoiQki97ln4tDhA3pfH8B7i3tCMWqmeel0r2lM-9fQW12d8XmX/s400/Target+Woven+Wall+Decor.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But don't worry, I'll find a nice home for it :) It was only $19.99! And the white one was the only one at the Target near me had so I feel like it was meant to be. I also picked up this cute <a href="http://www.target.com/p/square-mirror-set-of-3-brown-11-5-x-11-5-threshold-153/-/A-51472355">3 mirror set</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I bought these for an accent wall in a bedroom. They were only $25 and were the perfect colored wood for the room. I will say hanging 3 mirrors was no easy task! Also $25 might seem a bit steep for accent mirrors but any other type of mirror would be well over $50. I will never understand why they are so expensive...</div>

<br />I just love them all!! I love those little woven baskets. Might be something cute to add to the <a href="http://nat-simons.blogspot.com/2017/03/happy-spring-lets-talk-patios.html">back patio</a> (eventually). I know these types of things add up so look for coupons! I looove getting my succulent type things at Michaels. They always have coupons (and the best section of florals and greenery).<div>

Everyone have a great weekend! I have family coming into town this weekend, we've got some dinner and much needed drinks planned so I'll check back to the blog mid next week!</div>

<br /></div>
It's officially Spring! I never thought we'd see the day after some of this terribly cold weather. Two of the Simons' favorite activities are dining and lounging outside all Spring & Summer long. I have a small plan to update our back patio this Spring so ya'll know what that means - new patio furniture!!<br />
<br />
Patio furniture can range from $100 - $2,000. Financially, spending $2,000 on furniture that sits outside in the sun and rain just isn't something I can get myself to do. I'd say under $1000 for a dining set AND a sitting set would be ideal. But I know myself, and I know walking out of Target without something is HARD so I'll budget more like $1200. 😉<br />
<br />
<br />
Let's talk dining sets first - we need ample seating, aka more than 4 chairs, currently obsessed with the wood look, and I don't like anything crazy, just a simple design. Here are a few options I'm thinking about.<br />

I really love all the option but I'm torn between the Target and Ikea ones. I told ya'll, I like the wood type look! Now lets talk about the seating/conversation sets. Ideally, we'd love seating that can fit close to 6 people, but I know how much sets like that can run. So, I'm prepared to mix and match certain chairs or couches to get what we need. I will say, I normally don't go for the wicker look, but with the elements I don't want the responsibility of re-staining any wood. Both options are on the table right now, it'll depend on the quality and of course, price :)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And one other thing to mention, I despise chinsy, thin patio cushions. Anything that comes with cushions that fall in that category will not make the cut, fyi.<br />
<div>

Here are a few great options I've been eyeing! </div>

I really love this Home Depot one, I just love something about a round table. But again, it fits 4 so I might need to finagle another something in there. I'm also a huge fan of the Ikea set. I eyed it last year and they lowered the price on it this year!!! And it's soooo easy to add on pieces with the Ikea sets. So that might be the deciding factor. It stinks that they charge $100 for shipping so a trip to the Ikea store might be in our near future :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Let me know if there is a set you like better! Or you if you have any advice on patio furniture materials! </div>

Also, Happy National Puppy Day everyone :) </div>

The holidays got busy and I was trying to get back to posting but you know how that goes. But, Nat is back! Here are a few Spring updates I've been debating. A small kitchen update might be in my future, but I know what an undertaking that could be. I might let <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/natsimons2/">pinterest</a> just keep me motivated until the weather gets a bit nicer.<br />

Going from the safe, tame and "goes-with-everything" neutral can be a little bit startling. But it can also be stunning. Here are a few different ideas for accent walls, especially in the bedroom.<br />

I hope that this spring has been treating you well.<br />
<br />
I am in a quandary, and what other way to figure out the best course of action than to talk it out with my loyal readers?! I currently moved, and my bedroom is DRAMATICALLY smaller than my old haven of sleep.<br />
<br />
I have room for a dresser and a bed, which is nice, but I also own a copious amount of books. In addition, I also need a desk so I can work away from my roommate. WHAT DO I DO?! I go to Pinterest, of course!<br />
<br />
When I first moved in, I knew immediately that I had to utilize the wall space. I looked to the photos below for my inspiration.<br />

If you are anything like me, copious amounts of wine can get consumed in a week--depending on the type of week you are having, of course. :) The age old question (at least for me), is what can be done with all the corks?! It is always a shame to me to just throw those things of beauty into the trash. Cork art is an up-and-coming DIY trend, and can be used from simple coasters to maps and wall art. Let's take a look at the best of the best, all while sipping on a glass of wine, of course!<br />

It is a show about five West Virginians who salvage old barns. I've recently became hooked on this show, and it is making me dream of log cabins. There is just something so authentic about these log cabins; they incorporate nature, and bring the natural beauty of the outdoors inside.<br />

I know you've missed me. :) Seriously, I cannot believe how fast this year is flying by! It is already March, and hopefully soon the weather will start turning away from the cold and snow to warmth and sunshine! Spring is one of the best seasons-- you get to enjoy the outdoors and decorate your outside space! In honor of Spring being only 20 days away, let's look at ways to make your outdoor space be swoon worthy!<br />

I am someone that has to be in the mood to clean, and believe me, that mood doesn't hit often. :) Here are some tips and tricks to help beat the winter blues and get a jumpstart on Spring cleaning!<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Figure out what clothes you <i>actually </i>wear. It is time to get rid of the t-shirt from tenth grade that hasn't fit since freshman year of college. Clean. Out. The. Closet.</li>
<li>If you pick something up, put it back where you got it. The simple rule of cleanliness that is oftentimes seems like absolute hardest.</li>
<li>Look at the things you have! Oftentimes, we buy, buy, buy and never actually need or discard. Start donating something every time you buy something new. Not only this help with your budget, but it will help make sure that you don't have unnecessary clutter.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Good luck with cleaning, my friends!</div>

In order to best accomplish that, a home office is the best option. In many spaces, there isn't an extra room to delegate for an office. There are a few steps that allow for an ideal office no matter where the desk is located.<br />
