Semi-DIY Party Decorations

May 18, 2015 By Jenna 15 Comments

Did you ever watch that television show, Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee?

I’m not even sure that its still on anymore, and I only watched it a few times but what I loved most about it was that she always made a great cocktail during the show, oh and that some of the actual food was already made.

But mostly that she always had a cocktail.

I worked on discovering my inner Sandra Lee with these semi-DIY party decorations for the circus’ upcoming third birthday party.

The circus even helped me with them.

Which explains why cocktails were needed when we were finished.

10+ Kitchen Ideas for Decorating, Organizing, and Storage

I am all about a pretty space.

I’m also all about a real life space.

The problem is that pretty + real life don’t always work together.

And real life tends to trump pretty everyday of the week.

I always struggle with finding that happy balance between pretty and real life in the kitchen.

Prime example: the chips will always live on top of the fridge. No, its not pretty, but that’s where we expect them to be, so that’s where they will always be come hell or high water unless we magically get more pantry or cabinet space…which I won’t hold my breath for.

That being said, these are my best kitchen ideas for merging real life and pretty.
