Welcome to Home & Garden Tidbits. This is a collection of everything that caught my eye this past week from renovations to gardens, home decor finds, and more!
Let’s get inspired together!
Well! It finally happened! After 20 years of wanting to replace the painted brick fireplace in my family room, we finally tore it out! I’m replacing it with a cast stone surround but I haven’t settled on the color just yet.
I also started decorating my Christmas dining room and kitchen! At this point, I have more Christmas decor up than I do Fall…but at least my front yard is decorated for Halloween for the trick-or-treaters!
So that was my week. Now let’s move on to what captured my attention this week!
Home Decor Finds
This week I rounded up some of the best-sellers on Amazon that I think you’ll love. If you’re a Prime member, you’ll love free 2-day shipping and free returns, so there’s no risk and all reward!
Whether you’re shopping for someone else or just sprucing up your home, you might like this bowl with 4.8/5.0 stars. I have it on my coffee table right now along with this cute book topper. And you’ll love these pillows that are 2 for $20!
My favorite candles are perfect for the Fall/Winter season and at the time of writing this, they’re on sale! With over 4K ratings and 4.6/5.0 stars, I promise you’ll love them. You can put them in cute candlesticks like these or even something whimsical like this!
And let’s not forget what a great resource for greenery Amazon can be! I’ve seen these reviewed and I’m itching to buy them myself, but I haven’t yet. But I do own these green stems which are great for Spring, and these which I like year-round.
This rug has 4.5/5.0 stars with almost 4k reviews! I own a runner but there are lots of sizes and 18 different patterns to choose. And the best part? It’s washable!
And finally, if you need a tiny table but don’t have room for a side table, consider this! I love mine.

2. @annawpage – I love how this brick fireplace was updated while retaining it’s classic look.
3. @sweetshadylane – What a relaxing bedroom to wake up in!

Question: do you buy your Halloween candy early so that you get the best stuff or wait until the last minute to save yourself from eating it?? I’m the latter…
Until next time!
