DIY Painted Pumpkins
It's officially pumpkin season, and I'm not sad about that! Whether they're on the shelves in the dining room, as the main centerpiece on the table, or stacked up on the front porch, I'm making plenty of room for them this year. I mean, I planted a bunch of them in my garden, so ready or not, pumpkins it is! And while fresh pumpkins are the real deal, beyond stunning and the perfect way to jazz up your home for fall, they're not the only pumpkin out there! Faux pumpkins come in many different shapes and styles, and several of them look just as fabulous as the real deal... but some of them... weeellll, they're not only fake, they're just not the best to look at. Nothing a little paint ... Read more
Fall Home Tour- Part Two
Today I'm back to share part two of my fall home tour. In my last post, part one, I focused on our kitchen and breakfast nook, but today it's all about our living and dining room. This past spring, our living room underwent quite the transformation. It needed a little refresh, and I'm loving the direction it's going! I've always been a lover of neutral décor, which makes it easy to change up with the seasons. I also love fresh greenery, especially tree clippings. It always adds the best touch. I also really love how the new leather furniture ties in with the cabinets in the kitchen. The combination of white and dark really makes my heart happy, and it works so well with all ... Read more
Pumpkin Fall Table
Last fall I decided I wanted to plant pumpkins. Lots and lots of pumpkins. I kept imagining a front porch full of them, so this spring I planted 4 different varieties. Fast forward a few months and I literally have pumpkins coming out of my ears. But, that's not really a problem, is it? Especially for a heart that loves fall. And another reason having baskets full of pumpkins isn't a problem? Fall tablescapes. That's right, today I'm bringing you another fall table idea, only this time, it's all about the pumpkins from my garden. I'm so happy Shannon from AKA Designs asked me to join in on her fall tablescapes tour. Let's get started, shall we? Since this fall table is all ... Read more
Fall Table Setting
Fall is such a lovely time of the year. All the colors, the textures and the spectacular golden hour. It's all just so beautiful, and more than anything I wanted to capture that feeling, that magic, in my fall table setting this year. I am so happy and honored to be joining another amazing group of bloggers and to be sharing our fall table settings, all brought together by Alicia from A Burst of Beautiful. In keeping with my simple, nature loving heart, I wanted the focal of my table to focus on just that... the beauty of nature during fall! Combining it all together in a cornucopia seemed like the perfect way to bring it all together. I'll share how I created the fall ... Read more
Fall Home Tour- Part One
Hello sweet friends! I know it's been a little while since I've posted here on the blog, and I apologize for that! Life has a way of passing by quite quickly! More on that later, but today, I'm excited to be here sharing part one of our fall home tour. I'm honored to be joining an amazing group of bloggers, all gathered together by Rachel from Maison de Pax. If you're visiting from Liz at Love Grows Wild, thank you so much for stopping by! Isn't her home amazing? Goodness! Because there are so many pictures, I decided to split my fall home tour into two parts! I have to admit, I thoroughly enjoyed decorating for fall this year. It took me a little bit to decide which direction I wanted ... Read more
Guest Bedroom Headboard Makeover
The guest bedroom is moving along, which is so nice to see since the room sat as a complete danger (aka, junk) zone for months... When I decided to give this room a much needed refresh, one of the elements I knew I wanted to keep, was the headboard. I originally made it 10 plus years ago, which is crazy to think about, but it was the first piece I made for my first apartment after graduating high school. Throughout the years, it's always been in use, and it's honestly aged beautifully! The fabric I originally chose is still so fitting, and I thought long and hard about keeping it, but in the long run I decided to give it a slight refresh by recovering the fabric with something ...

Bringing Summer Inside
One of my favorite elements of summer, is all the gorgeous blooms and green foliage. Even the weeds look amazing this time of year, so lush and vibrant. I recently took a walk around our property and was surrounded by so much beauty! Even though it was a little dark and gloomy, and the clouds were threatening rain, I couldn't help but walk back to the house to grab my scissors to snip a few of the lovely blooms I found. I'm all about bringing summer inside, and be them weeds or not, these free, light and happy blooms were too perfect not to bring in and create a pretty bouquet... The breakfast nook was the perfect place to display them... It's a bit hard to see, but they ... Read more
Guest Bedroom Dresser Makeover
There's nothing quite like having overnight guests coming to give you that needed push to get your guest room in shape... that's right, my cousins came to stay with us for a night, and it completely motivated me to get the guest room to a state where it could actually function as a guest room! (Hand clap!) I know I've been slow to share any progress on the room, but that's about to change! Let's talk about how I gave our old guest bedroom dresser a makeover! Do you remember when I shared the moodboard for the room? Well, included in that, I knew I wanted to use the existing dresser we had in the space, but just give it an updated look by painting it black, and then updating ... Read more
Summer Table Setting
With summer officially here, and those summer parties in full swing, today I wanted to share our summer table setting as part of the styled and set blog tour hosted by the lovely Lory of Designthusiasm! Each season we've joined together to bring you simple entertaining ideas, and for this tablescape, I've done just what I always do... keep it simple! If you're joining me from Becky Cunningham, welcome! I'm so happy to have you! And now, let's take a peek at my table. I always like to start with a focal point, or a center idea, and this time, it was the beautiful grass that seems to be growing along the edge of every ditch in our small town. I was able to cut off a few bundles ... Read more
Summer Home Tour
It's officially summer, which means it's time to share our summer home tour! Today I'm so happy to be joining Nina, from Nina Hendrick, and several of my other blogging friends as we open the door to our homes and welcome you inside for a little tour! It seems these past few months have flown by, and in all honesty, I've just been content with our home. I haven't been itching to majorly change things, and it's really refreshing to feel that way! So, let's start the tour, shall we? Just like every year, I've kept things pretty simple. I trimmed some of our Aspen trees and they set the tone for our home. The leaves were so vibrant and fresh, the clippings made the house feel like ... Read more
A Big Living Room Refresh
If there was one room in our home that just felt... bleh... it was our living room. It just didn't seem to be working for us, no matter what I tried, and there were so many different elements that needed addressed. We needed a big living room refresh to get the room back on track, and that's just what we did with the help of American Furniture Warehouse! First off, we only have one wall in the room that can have furniture up against it, and that's the wall with the T.V. Until we finish our basement, which won't be for a good while, the T.V. stays upstairs, making the rest of the living room a little tricky to layout. We also have a solid wall of doors/ windows, which we planned ... Read more
Painted Guest Bedroom Wall
Well, I finally painted the guest bedroom wall. I knew it would probably be a little bit tricky since I was going from a white plank wall to a dark black/green wall... and I was right. This was one of the more time consuming walls I've painted lately, but it was worth the extra time! When I first shared my design inspiration and mood board for our new guest bedroom, I envisioned a dark plank wall that would tie in with several other dark accents throughout the room. I want the room to feel warm and cozy. The dark paint color helps create that warm feeling... but it wasn't the easiest to make happen. Back when the room was our office, we installed the plank wall and I painted it a ... Read more
Decorating Shelves Above The Toilet
If you've been following this blog for a while, you may remember last year when we installed shelves above our toilet in the master bathroom. Since installing them, I've never really "decorated" them. Sure, I added a basket or two, but that was about it. But even with the shelves not decorated, this little area in our bathroom is one of my favorite views. The dark wall behind the shelves, the crisp white planking and the rough texture of the wood all combines to create the perfect backdrop for accessories. I know decorating shelves above the toilet can be a little bit tricky, but I'm absolutely loving how our little area came together. I shopped the house and was able to use things ... Read more
Updating Our Hallway Lighting
A few weeks ago, I shared how we updated our hallway with board and batten... talk about a transformation to the space. One day it was a plain and basic hallway, the next it was bright and full of character. But shortly before we added the board and batten, we decided it was time to update our hallway lighting too. When we built the house, we installed two basic can lights in the hallway, and while there wasn't anything wrong with the lighting, I felt the hallway would benefit from two pendant type lights to add extra character. We also happened to have two pendant lights sitting in our garage. A few years ago, when we gave our fixer upper a makeover, I had bought these two ... Read more
