How I Add Whimsy to Our Home

We are a quirky family... we laugh, we're sarcastic and don't take ourselves too seriously. So when it comes to decorating our home and adding personal touches, I want to reflect our true personalities. I think it's fun to have fun with your home... if that makes any sense! Adding personal moments that show your true self, makes your home unique and more meaningful. So when I saw this quirky little planter guy at Target, I knew it was meant to be in our home. I showed this new family addition first, on instagram. This was after he just arrived in our home...

And since he is actually a planter, he needed some greenery up on top. So here he is, all styled and ready for his blog debut...

I found a 4" fern plant at my local grocery store. Hopefully, the fern grows a bit, so he has bangs, like me!  :) Speaking of personal touches, our china cabinet has a mixture of wedding china, pottery and the kid's craft projects! I thought it would be fun to add sculptural art pieces they have made, so it can also have a proper display spot for everyone to see...

The dinosaur on the bottom shelf was built and painted by one of my kiddos, a few years back. It's one of those projects that is pretty fragile, so it stays behind glass as a fun, meaningful accessory! 

How about you... do you have hints of personality and quirkiness in your home?? Do tell!
