Fall Living Room 2018 | Seasons of Home

Hello Friends! I'm so excited to be sharing more fall looks around our home today, this time in our living room! I have some very special blogging friends joining me today. part of the Seasons of Home tour series, hosted by Kristen from Ella Claire. I have to tell you I was a little stumped this year when it came to adding fall touches to our living room. I couldn't settle on a color to bring in or take out. My typical go-to grays just weren't cutting it for me this time around. I went back to the colors I used in my fall kitchen, and how much I loved those. Whenever I get off track, or can't decide on something, I look around my house to see what other colors I used. Sticking with the same ... Read More about Fall Living Room 2018 | Seasons of Home

Comparing Navy Blue Paint Colors

09/18/2018 By Bre

Hello Friends!! It is no exaggeration when I tell you I have been waiting a whole year to paint this new darker color! Yep, a whole YEAR! You see I contemplated it for a while, would try to discard the urge, and tell myself I didn't need too, but it would keep coming back! Like a bad craving for something chocolate. Every time the urge would come back I would weigh out the pro's and con's. I loved the look of a rich navy blue, that had deep charcoal undertones in it, but my office / laundry room [which is right off our dining room] is already painted Wescott Navy by Benjamin Moore. So if I painted my dining room dark, now does that mean I have to repaint my office? ... Read More about Comparing Navy Blue Paint Colors

Happy Monday Friends!! I'm so excited to share another fall tablescape idea with you today!

Featured in the Cottage Journal

Friends I am so excited to tell you , that I am being featured in the Cottage Journal magazine as the blogger of the month! Each month, the Cottage Journal magazine picks a home decor blogger to feature, and I am their featured blogger for September. Seriously, it feels like a dream come true to be recognized by a magazine as a successful blogger, because not one realizes the struggle and the hustle that goes on behind the scenes. If you are familiar with my story at all, than you know in the beginning I was so afraid that no one would take me seriously because I didn't have a degree from college saying I was a "professional". After years of pressing onward, and pursuing my dream, I can ... Read More about Featured in the Cottage Journal

Whether this is your first time visiting, or you've been a regular reader for a while, it's no secret I love creating tablescapes! Honestly they are probably just about my most favorite thing to do ever, and I'm so excited to be participating in todays Season of Home series - Fall Tablescapes, hosted by Kristen from Ella Claire. This past spring we expanded our outdoor patio area, and transformed what was once over grown weeds and debris into this outdoor eating area. We have been fully enjoying this new space all summer long, and I'm so excited to continue to use it this fall, as we gather for chillier nights around the fire. ...

Fall Vignette

11 Sep

Hello Friends!! I'm so happy to be joining in another round of the Seasonal Simplicity Fall Series this week, this time sharing our fall decorated mantles or vignettes! Honestly, vignettes are my favorite thing to create - next to Tablescapes that is, I love creating smaller arrangements, and the flexibility to change it up as often as I feel, or leave it that way for months if I like. There is so much flexibility with it, and I like to think it's the one thing I've been doing since I was 13, lol! The dresser turned buffet in our dining room is where I change out my decor seasonally the most. I love clearing it off completely and creating a new vignette every time. For fall I like to keep ...

Hello Friends! I'm so glad you enjoyed my DIY fall "wreath" I shared yesterday! It had been quite a while since I had crafted if you will, and it felt so nice to do something a little different than just decorating. I shared the fall planter hanging on our kitchen door. It's the main entry we use, walking right into our kitchen, so I'm sharing some fall decor touches I did around the kitchen today, along with some blogging friends part of the Seasons of Home tour, hosted by one of my favorite bloggers Kristen, from Ella Claire! This is our 3rd year kicking off the Seasons of Home Tour series, and I'm so excited to be back at it! ... Read More about Seasons of Home | Fall Kitchen

DIY Fall Wreath

09/04/2018 By Bre

4 Sep

Hello Friends!! Today I'm excited to be joining a group of over 20 other talented bloggers who are also sharing a Fall DIY wreath tutorial with you! I'm so excited to be joining in the Seasonal Simplicity Fall Series hosted by the lovely Krista from the Happy Housie. I decided to do something little bit different than a traditional wreath. I love getting fresh wreaths for fall that will last me until Christmas, but since it's still supposed to be in the high 80's this week, I wanted to wait until the temperature drops a bit so it doesn't speed up the drying out time. I wanted something that could be hung on our door, but also used in other places around our house as well. ... Read More about DIY Fall Wreath

Hello Friends!! First of all I have to say, I had every intention of getting this posted on Friday, but we had one thing after another come up, and there just weren't enough hours in the week to get all that I needed done between work and family. With back to school this week, and soccer practice starting up, we are trying to squeeze in the last bit of our summer bucket list. I'm so glad to have these precious memories with the kids home this summer, and I'll be sharing more on that soon.
