As we gear up to celebrate Mother's Day, we're reminded of the incredible women who hold a special place in our hearts. Here at Elegant Homes & Interiors, family means everything to us. From our matriarch, Tabitha Yount, whose unwavering love and creativity inspire us every day, to her daughter, Lexi Yount, who brings a fresh perspective and passion for design to our team, each member of our family plays a unique role in creating beautiful spaces that enrich the lives of our clients. As a family-owned business based in Saint Joseph, MO, we understand the importance of honoring and celebrating the special women in our lives, and we're thrilled to share some heartfelt and creative ideas for decorating your home this Mother's Day. Join us as we embark on a journey of love, gratitude, and inspiration, and discover how to create a space that celebrates the extraordinary women who make our lives brighter each and every day.

To celebrate the remarkable women who grace our lives, we'd like to introduce our family to those who are new to Elegant Homes & Interiors! Our family begins with JD, followed by Jean Ann, our cherished mother. Next, we have Addyson, our youngest daughter, followed by Gracee, our middle daughter. Then, there's Lexi, our eldest daughter, and Jason, the co-owner of Elegant Homes & Interiors. Finally, there's myself, Tabitha, who you may already be familiar with!

As Mother's Day approaches, it's time to celebrate the incredible women who have shaped our lives with love, guidance, and endless support. What better way to honor Mom than by creating a beautiful and heartfelt space that reflects her unique personality and the love you share? In this blog post, we'll explore some creative and meaningful ways to decorate for Mother's Day, ensuring that every corner of your home is filled with love, joy, and appreciation for the special women in your life.

Check out this awesome family selfie – our very first attempt with a selfie stick! Yep, back in 2014, when Addy was just a tiny tot, these gadgets were all the rage. Jason had the brilliant idea to use it for our Easter picture, and it turned out to be hilarious. The older girls had Addy cracking up, teaching her all the silly faces for the perfect shot. Ah, the memories! Now, let's dive into how we can make this Mother's Day extra special...

1. Create a Sentimental Gallery Wall: Turn a blank wall into a stunning display of love and memories by creating a sentimental gallery wall dedicated to Mom. Gather cherished family photos, meaningful quotes, and sentimental artwork that reflects her interests and passions. Mix and match frames in different sizes and styles for an eclectic and personalized look. Assemble the gallery wall in a prominent area of your home, such as the living room or hallway, where Mom can admire it every day.

2. Set a Beautiful Table for Brunch: Treat Mom to a special Mother's Day brunch with a beautifully set table that exudes elegance and charm. Start with a crisp tablecloth or runner in Mom's favorite color, then layer on pretty dinnerware, glassware, and flatware. Add a centerpiece of fresh flowers or potted plants for a touch of natural beauty. Consider incorporating personalized place cards or handwritten notes at each setting to make Mom feel extra special.

3. Create a Relaxing Oasis in the Bedroom: Transform Mom's bedroom into a serene and relaxing oasis where she can unwind and recharge. Start by updating the bedding with soft and luxurious linens in calming colors or delicate floral patterns. Add plush throw pillows and cozy blankets for extra comfort. Create a bedside vignette with scented candles, a fragrant bouquet of flowers, and a stack of Mom's favorite books or magazines. Finish the look with soothing artwork or wall decor that promotes relaxation and tranquility.

4. Craft DIY Decorations with the Kids: Get the whole family involved in creating handmade decorations to celebrate Mom on her special day. Set up a crafting station with supplies like construction paper, markers, glue, and glitter, and let the kids' imaginations run wild. Help them create homemade cards, paper flower bouquets, and heartfelt artwork that Mom will treasure forever. Display their creations throughout the house as a touching reminder of the love and joy they bring to her life.

In the photo above, you'll see our crew from Christmas 2023. We've got Lexi's boyfriend, Matthew, who's practically part of the family already! We cherish our time together, especially during the holidays, when we gather to celebrate the love of Jesus. Right after our Candlelight Service, we snapped this quick family pic to capture the joy of the moment. And hey, Matthew's helping balance out the girl power in our family!

This Mother's Day, show Mom just how much she means to you by decorating your home with love, thoughtfulness, and style. Whether it's creating a sentimental gallery wall, setting a beautiful table for brunch, or crafting DIY decorations with the kids, there are countless ways to honor and celebrate the special women in our lives. Let your creativity and imagination shine as you design a space that reflects the love, gratitude, and appreciation you have for Mom.

Happy Mother's Day!

With love to all of the wonderful women out there,

Tabitha & Lexi
