DIY “Man In The Moon” Sign
Happy Thursday, friends!!! Today, Tara and I, are each sharing a fun fall DIY! For my DIY, I decided to make a “man in the moon” sign.

Goodbye summer, Hello autumn! – bedroom mantel
Happy Monday!! I hope y’all had a wonderful weekend!! Today, Tara and I, are showing y’all how we have each decorated the mantel in our master bedroom for fall. I started by gluing, using hot glue, my DIY autumn garland to my mantel, then added a couple vintage books, some pumpkins, eucalyptus, and flowers. I wrapped small grapevine wreaths around the three center pumpkins. I simply unraveled a grapevine wreath and then wrapped it around the pumpkins for a little added texture. I also added just a few flowers to the wrapped pumpkins. So easy, unique, and fun! For flowers, I used wax flowers, protea, and pink spray roses. I’m…

Hi friends!!! I hope you’re having a wonderful day! Can you believe it’s September!! Fall is almost here! Today, Tara and I, are sharing some fall decor ideas for the kitchen. My kitchen is the busiest place in the house (four boys!!!) so I like to keep the countertop decor to a minimum, and focus on decorating the shelves. This year I’m going for super simple, minimal touches of fall. Just a few faux pumpkins, that I replaced the stems on, using little twigs that I cut from a grapevine wreath.

I started by sanding down the top of the dresser and the drawer fronts. I then…
