Succulent Trend Alert
Posted by Cassandra Birdd on
One trend we’ve seen for this spring is decorating with softer colored succulents. Look for the type that are very realistic and offer a variety of soft colors. The color can vary from green to pink and purple on the same stem, they are getting so popular that even black succulents are trendy this year!
Succulents have long since been a favorite plants for several reasons, one being, that the live succulents seem fairly easy to keep alive. If you forget to water one for a long time, like most of us tend to do, you’ll find they thrive anyway! They actually like dry soil. So, each year I fill a bird bath out front with some new live succulents. I water them a few times just after planting, and I let the Lord do the rest. Then, they live all summer and fall some even return to greet me the next year. You’ve got to love succulents; they make us all feel like we have a green thumb. By the use of color and texture you can instantly change the look and mood of your room!
Succulents mixed with terrariums have really emerged this year too! Try one on your office desk or even on a bookshelf in your home. Make a room come to life by adding a little green!
Come take advantage of the Buy One Get One 50% Off Succulents at Treehouse Gift & Home while it lasts! Bring your own vase, or find one at the store. We compose arrangements and wire florals, free of charge. Bonus: these artificial succulents live forever!

4 Thoughtful Gifts for Mother's Day
Posted by Cassandra Birdd on
Mother's Day is around the corner, and the bond between you and your mother is worth celebrating. However, you may be overwhelmed by all the choices of gifts that you can give her. If you need some inspiration, review the following options.
What Are Some Creative Gifts That Mom Will Love?
1. Diffuser
Being a mom is hard work. If you want her to relax and unwind, consider getting her a calming diffuser. This trendy alternative to potpourri adds freshness to the entire house. Designs range from clean-cut and modern to old-fashioned elegance, so choose a style that matches her preferences. If she likes floral scents, you can find lavender and rose options.
2. Memory Box
Memory boxes are a beautiful symbol of shared emotions or experiences. Many are inscribed with meaningful quotes or artwork. Specially designed for display, you can fill these containers with meaningful tokens, such as old photographs or jewelry. You can also tuck in a handwritten note explaining the sentiment behind each item.
3. Collectible Mug
A mug may seem like a simple gift, but it’s a daily reminder of your love. If your mom is constantly running errands or working, look for a travel option that can fit in her car. The design can also include a special phrase like, 'Best Mom Ever,' so she thinks of you every time she takes a drink.
4. Bath Bombs
If your mom likes to get pampered, she'll love a set of scented bath bombs. The effervescent fizzing will make her baths refreshing, and she'll feel like she's visiting the spa in her own bathroom. You can also choose versions that moisturize and care for the skin.

3 Tips for Hanging Wall Decor
Posted by Cassandra Birdd on
When you want to add an attractive and personal touch to the home, hanging wall decor around the space allows you to accent the best features. However, you must hang these items correctly so that they are cohesive and do not damage the walls. Here are several strategies for finding the perfect placement.
How Should You Position Wall Decor?
1. Frame It Correctly
While wall sculptures can stand alone, prints and canvases look best with a frame. As you are looking for the perfect frame, choose options that match the art and other features of the room. For example, choose thin, straight-edged frames for a minimalist look, or something wider and more ornate to fit elegant, classical furniture. Finally, try not to let the frame overpower the artwork; thicker and more elaborate frames look best on larger and more intricate wall decor.
2. Plan the Placement
The type of wall decor that you have should help determine its location in the home. For instance, personal art might go in the bedroom, while something you want to display to visitors can stay in the living room. Avoid hanging items in the kitchen because the humidity can damage them.
After picking a room, find an open stretch of wall that leaves some space around the edges of your piece. If you are hanging multiple items, they should balance with each other and the furniture. Try to keep art at eye level; the center of the piece should be about 57 inches off the floor.
3. Mark the Location
When placing a hook or nail for wall decor, remember that the center or top of the piece may not line up with the nail. Flip the art over and find the wire or catch, and measure how far it is from the top edge. Then use that measurement to determine where to place the nail. To make this easier, you can cut out a piece of paper with the same dimensions as the art, then mark the location of the catch on the paper. Move the paper around until you like the placement, tape it in place, then nail through the mark for the best results.
