fall vibes in the kitchen – thrifted tureen
Happy Monday, friends!!! Today, I’m so excited to be joined by a few friends for our monthly thrift store challenge. I found a darling table that I was going to redo, but I ran out of time. Thankfully, I also found a tureen. It’s not old, but I still really like it! I decided to use it on the shelf in my kitchen. I took pictures of the shelf styling process, so you can get a sense of how I go about it. I started by filling the the tureen with pinecones. Added a few books, a pumpkin, and a piece of architectural salvage. Removed the books and pumpkins, added…

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…

Abundant Autumn – kitchen shelves
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 also added warmer tones by adding these DIY bread boards (which I will post about soon) I filled…

Thrifted Treasure – a vintage dresser beautified
Happy Monday, friends!!! Today I’m super excited because we Tara and I are hosting our first thrift store challenge since March! What is my thrifted find, you might be wondering? Well, you might be surprised, but it’s a piece of furniture, a dresser to be exact. Her she is when I first saw her. A little beat up, and in need of some serious love…. My mother-in-law found this darling dresser for me at a Salvation Army store near her home. I love the shape, and of course, the castors are an added bonus! I started by sanding down the top of the dresser and the drawer fronts. I then…

Faint Touches of Fall – a cozy corner
Happy Tuesday, friends!!!! Today, Tara and I, have added a few fall-ish touches to a space in our homes. I created this little area in the family room. The slipcovered chairs and the chippy cabinet were in the living room, but I moved things around last week when I did the mantel, and brought the settee into to the living room. I love moving furniture from room to room, it makes the space feel so fresh and new! I’ve been wanting to use this antique fruit drying rack for a while, and thought it would be perfect to hang on the wall with a fresh eucalyptus wreath. To make the…
