Wake Up Your Breakfast Table

 There is nothing like the smell of sweet buttermilk pancakes drizzled with maple syrup and sprinkled with yummy chocolate chips to wake you up in the morning. But....what about the breakfast table?? This wooden inanimate object needs to be woken up after a long night of serving dinner! It has breakfast guests to serve and impress. Hosting a brunch and don't have anything to dress your table? Don't worry, fairy godmother Coco and daughter Melsy are here to help pretty up your table before the clock strikes 12pm.

Keep calm and... 

*Dress up your table by draping it with a pretty table cloth. If you don't have a table cloth a bed sheet folded in half will do too!

*Choose your accessories (this includes dishes, napkins, center pieces, cups, silverware, table chairs) to use to fancy up your table.

* Decorate other areas of the kitchen around the kitchen table to help wake up the space! Our favorite is using white icicle lights to give a soft and delicate look.

A simple, chic and sweet look can be created by dressing your table in a white lace table cloth, crystal glasses, flowers, butter cream scented candles and white icicle lights that will add elegance to any breakfast table . 

These statements pieces (found at Marshall's or TJ Maxx) add a touch of class to breakfast

 Try pop's of color like yellow, red and white  to really wake up your breakfast table ! This yellow and white polka dotted table cloth will bring the sunny to sunny side up ;)

Desk Candy

Candy is sugary goodness that we all (well most of us) LOVE. It just makes life a little more sweeter. A little something else that makes life a little more sweeter and delightful is desk candy. I have always loved to decorate my desk and add little accessories here and there to cheer up my work space. My most prized possession on my desk is a pink sparkly, luminescent and over sized diamond .... did I forget to mention it's a paper weight? It was a whopping $3 at the Christmas Tree Shop... and yes, this diamond is this girl's best friend - can't beat that price! In addition to my pink gem, another piece of desk candy (and money saving trick that will help spruce up your desk)  is a framed greeting card. I had a lot of extra cards laying around the house and didn't want to throw them away, so my mom came up with this clever idea. This will help add a pop of color to any desk or room. My third piece of desk candy that I adore is my cupcake calendar that surprises me daily with a different baked cuppie frosted and decorated to perfection. On the back of each tear-able page lies the recipe for the cupcake of the day which I have yet to try! Hopefully a baked treat will appear on Coco and Melsy's soon :)

My Dainty Desk

One of my favorite spots is my pink desk. A lot of the accessories have been collected over the years from Marshall's (like the Keep Calm and Eat Cupcakes wall decor) and Pottery Barn. I recently bought the pink 1950s phone from amazon.com. It's also available at Target! Find the link below :)

Meet Coco & Melsy

Hello everyone!
I would like to introduce you to Coco and Melsy's - a blog created by my mom and me. This blog is inspired by our dream to one day have a quaint little "shabby chic" boutique.
Growing up in a household surrounded by boys and a male dominated family business, my mom and I have added our touches of girly flare throughout our home. This includes painting the bathroom bubblegum pink , filling glass jars with candy hearts/colored gumballs (as seen in Juicy Couture stores) to serve as a sweet treat centerpiece, saving black Chanel shopping bags to accent white rooms, diamond paper weights, and having at least one “Keep Calm and Carry On”/ “Keep Calm and Eat Cupcakes” in a room.  As a result of our passion for decorating, almost every room in our home mirrors the interior of a doll house or vintage jewelry box.
Like mother like daughter, we both have a love for home decor, fashion, and all things PINK. Both our wardrobes and home reflect a classy yet chic elegance that we are excited to share with you! We will be posting about home decor and fashion so "keep calm" :) , stay tuned and thanks for stopping by Coco & Melsy's!
