Fall/Thanksgiving Table Setting Ideas
Happy Sunday, friends!! I hope y’all are enjoying this beautiful fall weekend! Before we know it, Thanksgiving will be here! I love creating tablescapes! I usually create a few different fall/thanksgiving tablescapes leading up to the big day, and then create my final version the night before, that way I won’t have to stress about it on the actual day. You may remember this tablescape that I created a last year…. And then changed it up, just a bit, with this eucalyptus and foraged berry runner down the center of the table. I made it by simply layering eucalyptus and some foraged berries down the center, no wiring required! I…

French Vintage Friday – make your own vintage inspired bread boards
Happy Friday, friends!! I hope you all had a great week! Today, for French Vintage Friday, I’m sharing something that I recently made, vintage inspired bread boards. I’ve seen some amazing collections of these lovely boards, but when it comes to actually finding some, that’s hard to do! So what could I do? Make my own! For these boards, I used a basic, one inch thick, pine board purchased from Lowe’s. I started by deciding how wide I wanted the handle to be. I ended up making it two inches wide. I cut one side, and then used my cutout to stencil the other side. After both sides are cut,…

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…

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…
