I've been perusing the Amazon home offerings for a while and have always been impressed with the selection. It was time for us to update our dishes and flatware recently and it's not something I usually spend a lot of money on. I usually go to Target or IKEA, find something simple and classic and INEXPENSIVE and that's it. We don't need anything fancy for around the house or expensive. I am easy to please in this category. Our flatware was a wedding gift (almost 17 years ago!) and was really worn out (who else always has a fork or spoon always end up in the garbage disposal!?!? Oops!) and our existing plates were chipped and missing quite a few pieces. I found this white dish set and this silverware set and we've used them for about a week and also been through quite a few rounds of the dishwasher already. So far I am impressed. The quality is great and I love the way they look too. I also threw these flat bottom wine glasses in my cart too because I've seen a few other bloggers post them and they are so fun and modern!

It's hard to believe we have lived in our house for almost a year now! We are still working on pulling together our outside spaces and our front porch definitely needed a bit of greenery. I do not have a green thumb by any means, unless outdoor plants and flowers have access to the sprinkling system they will likely die (eek! I know, I know! I'm terrible!). So instead I decided to go with faux greenery on our porch. I found these gorgeous large garden planter pots and then this faux cedar tree were the perfect addition. They look real, don't they!?!? And especially since our front porch has a lot of shade it's an ideal spot for faux greenery.
