Farmhouse Fall Porch

09/29/2016 By Bre

It’s the perfect time of the year for porch sitting. I will say that we pretty much enjoy our porch all summer long, since our humidity isn’t constant in the summer, but fall is perfect. It’s cool enough the bugs stay away, but still warm enough to enjoy. This year I decided to try something different, NO MUMS! Call me crazy I know, trust me I was thinking the same thing. I love mums just as much as the next person, but I wanted to change things up a bit, and see what I could do without using them. I have to say I’m a bit smitten with the outcome.

The dust has settled. You know that gets kicked up with kids going back to school and summer ending. Well maybe it’s just the last bit of beach sand being shaken out from our car, but life finally feels like it is in somewhat of a routine, and the air is crisp with fall. I’m teaming up with my friends at bHome to share a little bit more of fall around our home.

I think adding layers to your space is one of the best things you can do to really make it feel cozy and inviting. Whether you are layering rugs, or window treatments for adding texture, or a whole bunch of throw pillows on your couch, your creating an atmosphere that everyone is sure to enjoy. I am so excited to share with you today that I have teamed up with Wayfair for another series of Insider Inspiration. Over the next 6 weeks you’ll be able to catch these videos I’ve been putting together, where I talk about inviting spaces, what’s trending now, and my love for home decor. Just to name a few.

Thanksgiving Tablescape {with bay leaf garland}

When I think about gathering around the table, it’s a tradition. One that can sometimes get brushed aside in the busy schedules, but one that has great importance and a huge impact. It makes life more meaningful. If you ask both my kids what their favorite “family time” activity is, they will tell you – gathering around a table and sharing a meal. I’m glad that it’s meaningful to them, and impacts them in such a way.

Fall Throw Blankets under $50

09/16/2016 By Bre

I’m loving the cooler tones used for fall. It was something I started implementing in last years fall decor. Just to clarify, there is nothing wrong with bringing out orange in the fall. But I crave a more subtle, neutral look. I know it’s not for everyone and that’s ok. I love that we aren’t all alike in our taste. I pick patterns that have a timeless feel to them like houndstooth and herringbone and plaids. They still feel like fall, just not the expected color palette.

Farmhouse Fall Living Room

09/13/2016 By Bre

This year has been about simplifying. Not adding more, but really emphasizing on special details. It’s easy to feel the need to add a ton to your decor when decorating for new seasons, however I chose to make subtle transitions to gradually add fall into our living room. We are back for another round of Farmhouse Holiday Decor Series. Today we are sharing our Living Rooms decorated for fall.

Fall Decorating Vignette

09/07/2016 By Bre

Sometimes the feeling of having to decorate your entire house for fall at once can feel daunting. Like this overwhelming task you’d just rather not start. I like to take it one area at a time. When I’m really struggling for motivation, sometimes just creating a simple fall vignette, will then spill out into the rest of my home and transition my decor from summer to fall. So today I’m sharing a cozy corner from our living room, and easy fall vignette you can create in less than 10 minutes.

Fall Cider Cocktail Recipe

09/06/2016 By Bre

A fun fact about myself is before we had kids I used to be a bartender at a local steak house. I loved the rush and busy-ness of working in a restaurant, and bartending was definitely an exciting factor of that. Plus it was really a lot of fun, and not being a big drinker prior to that, I learned a ton. From how to mix different liquors and different drink recipe staples. This wasn’t a drink that we served at the restaurant, but stemmed from all my experience I gained there. Today I’m sharing my Fall Cider Cocktail Recipe, Who’s thirsty?!
