Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday! I’m traveling this week for the holiday, so instead of a Weekly Six, I’m bringing you some book picks. I have to admit, I’m a sucker for a good chick lit novel, but I do love a good memoir as well. What about you – what type of books do you gravitate towards?

Whether you’re also traveling or just enjoying a lazy day this holiday weekend, these are some books that have been on my Kindle wish list most recently.

1 – Gone Girl
2 – The Perks of Being a Wallflower
3 – Where We Belong
4 – Let’s Pretend This Never Happened
5 – Just Kids

What books are on your wish list or what have you read that you can recommend??

We’ll take a break from all of the Thanksgiving talk and keep it a normal Wednesday with a colorful Product Pick. What you see above is the Nodo Collection of Tables by Pentagono Estudio.

The tables are made from fiberglass fibers that are interwoven together in a specific way that provides balance for the table to stand on its own. The second picture gives a nice upclose and personal look into this detail.

The photos and information on these tables were found on Design Milk, and there is no mention of other colors being available. I wouldn’t mind the fluorescent yellow though – would you?

Even if you’re having a small Thanksgiving get-together, placing menu cards at each setting adds a nice formal touch. You may remember from Friday’s Weekly Six, some free Thanksgiving printables were included in the link list. That list, however, didn’t include any menu cards, so that’s what today is all about!

It really is nice that those with graphic design skills offer such adorable printables for free to everyone throughout the Internet. The first menu above is from Sarah Hearts, who has a ton of free printables on her website – and they all coordinate so you can have a fabulous suite right at your fingertips. For nothing but the cost of paper and ink!

The second menu comes from Brooklyn Limestone, who also graciously offers a variety of free printables throughout her website.

Will you be using printables to dress up your Thanksgiving table? You still have a couple days to put it together!

Whether you’re hosting this holiday season or heading out to friend’s or family’s houses, wine is always a good thing to serve and a good thing to bring. If you want to serve decent wine without breaking the bank, or have a lot of parties to attend, we’ve rounded up six delicious wines that are all under the $20 mark.

From left to right, we’ve got some red, some white and even some champagne for ya:

1 – Korbel Brut Rose
2 – Tisdale Pinot Grigio (sometimes found for under $5 – don’t be scared by the price, it really is good!)
3 – Simi Chardonnay
4 – Louis M. Martini Cabernet
5 – Decoy Red Blend
6 – Mark West Pinot Noir

What are your favorite wines to serve or bring as host/hostess gifts??

I’m not throwing a party anytime soon, but browsing through the Hostess with the Mostess blog makes me want to throw one immediately! But of course, it would have to have all of the colorful and creative ideas and details that go into the parties seen on their website.

Have you ever thrown a party like this? By “this” I mean with one of these fabulous tables that have a cute banner, drinks with labels and a cute straw arranged on a matching tray, desserts or appetizers lined up also with cute labels attached to a toothpick. You can’t forget the flowers and a coordinating tablecloth, either!

The first party shown above is an 80s-themed Bridal Shower and the second is a graduation and birthday party with a navy and yellow chevron theme. If you click through to each party, you will see how all of the details come together from appetizers to drinks to desserts.

If you’ve thrown a party like this before, what are your tips for staying organized and bringing everything together – aside from hiring a party planner!?

It’s refreshing to see wall decor that is different than your typical paint or wallpaper, such as this Brick Back by BuzziSwitch. Although, I’m not quite sure why it’s called Brick Back, as it’s made from felt – BuzziFelt to be exact!

The Brick Back insulates sounds, so it can be used on the entire wall surface, or just in sections, as a bulletin board perse. The felt enables push-pins and/or thumbtacks to be used to hang up any necessary papers, flyers, decorations, etc.

The best part is the all of the colors available – I wouldn’t mind a bright pink Brick Back in my home office!!

What do you think of this fun wall covering?

It’s days like these that I really wish I was a 2.5 millionaire. Because then I could buy myself the most ridiculously beautifully modern white home shown above.

The house, the kitchen, the pool, the surroundings – everything about this modern home is gorgeous. But what I really love is that ceiling! I would love to see it in person – the effect it has on the home must be absolutely unbelievable.

Can you imagine the fun of decorating this home? I think I would need another million or so to complete that project! I would leave the walls all white and just bring in color with sleek, contemporary furniture. How would you decorate this home??

This modern home is for sale, and you can view the description and more photos here.

There’s something about Mondays that make you want to get up and organize your entire life. Well, some Mondays I feel like that. Others I just don’t want to get out of bed!

Anyways, jewelry organization is something I constantly struggle with. I bought a tray once to organize everything but I have no idea where that even is right now. There are tons of easy and stylish organization DIYs out there – several which I’ve talked about here before. But this DIY over at IHeart Organizing is easier than easy and can be made using an old frame that needs to be repurposed – or if you have a frame where the glass has broken – this is a great way to put it to use without wasting it!

Click over to IHeart Organizing for the full tutorial – one thats very easy to follow! My fiance and I are at Lowes or Home Depot all the time – so I will make a note of it to do this and finally get my jewelry organized. I’m thinking I might make one for earrings and then another with fun push-pins to hold all my necklaces. What do you think of this DIY?

Faucets for bathrooms aren’t something I spend too much time thinking about, but I’m thinking maybe that should change. After all, sometimes it’s all about the details!

A modern faucet can really add to the style of the bathroom, especially when paired with a funky sink. What I like most about faucets, or taps as they are also called, is that it’s a really easy swap. You can swap out the tap in the sink and the shower for a coordinated and updated look. I might have to look into this over the weekend…how about you?

While I’m at it – I might look for a bowl-like sink as in the images above. What do you think about modern taps and sinks? If you’re interested in switching out your own, you can see different types of taps here.
