Easy DIY Modern Wall Art Acrylic Paintings

Easy DIY Modern Wall Art Acrylic Paintings

If you like easy, modern and art, than this post is for you!  I've been taking a little time off blogging (not sure you noticed...) and one of the things I enjoyed doing during my break, was painting. Hence, these easy DIY modern wall art acrylic paintings !  I'm no professional artist, but I love creating DIY artwork to display in my home (you can see some here , here   and here ). I think it's far more meaningful than buying art, more pleasurable too and a LOT more affordable! 😉

Neutral Farmhouse Christmas Tablescape with Easy DIY Décor

Neutral Farmhouse Christmas Tablescape with Easy DIY Décor

This year, Christmas may look a more scaled-down and different, but that doesn't mean we can't set up a pretty, cozy table to celebrate and give thanks for all the blessings we have in our lives! Am I right?! 🙏 So, I have opted for quite a relaxed, fuss-free style this year, with lots of natural wood touches to create a modern, neutral farmhouse Christmas tablescape . Hope you enjoy the ideas! 😍

Halloween Mantel DIY Modern Decor

Halloween Mantel DIY Modern Decor

This year, Halloween is a little more demure at ours. So, I opted for creating a few decorations that would reflect a "calmer" and more cozy vibe with neutral colors and a more paired-down style. To be honest, I much rather prefer this black and white, clean, modern monochrome vibe than anything too loud anyways!  Not to mention that, (apart from the spider webs) this décor can be re-purposed for the November and Fall months too!

Fall Coffee Bar, DIY Farmhouse Decor and FREE Printables

I'm a coffee lover and cannot lie! ☕🥰  So naturally, I take so much pleasure in creating a little coffee nook in the studio and changing its decor each season. Especially since we've been spending so much at home lately, a designated coffee bar or coffee station adds such a fun and cozy vibe to any room, especially during the cooler Fall season! Sometimes I like to "go all out", particularly for the Holidays, and add some sweet treats to my coffee bar like the coffee and donuts bar I styled last winter .  But for now, here are some easy DIY crafts that you can replicate to decorate your coffee bar for Fall!

Scandinavian Inspired DIY Blush Tablescape and Decor for Fall

Scandinavian Inspired DIY Blush Tablescape and Decor for Fall

Even though the temps are still pretty hot where I live, Fall is officially here! Inspired by all the pretty autumnal colors around my garden and the local French countryside, I styled a blush tablescape that would be perfect for any celebration you may be hosting this season. Or simply to dress a pretty table for brunch! Since some of us are still homeschooling or working from home, I find that adding little touches of seasonal décor and comfort, not only serve to "dress up" the space we're living in, but also helps to cheer things up a bit!
