Hello Friends! It was cold here yesterday, windy and in the low 50's, which definitely helped it feel like fall has arrived. While I'm not ready for it to be quick that cold, it was sure a reminder that fall is here, and summer is now behind us, and what a great time to switch things up seasonally on our porch! Today I'm excited to be joining a group of 25 bloggers who are also sharing their fall porch tours today! ... Read More about Fall Porch | 2018

15 Must-Have Fall Throw Pillows

22 Sep

Hello Friends!! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!! It was so much fun sharing our fall home tour, and living room with all of you this past week!! Even though the home tour is up, I'm still on the hunt for some more fall throw pillows, and ones that I can transition into my winter decor as well. If you are a familiar face around here, you know my approach to seasonal decor is subtle. I like to let nature do the talking, and don't typically go for anything too flashy or noticeable when it comes to trinkets and pillows. As I'm searching for my own self, I thought it would be fun if I rounded up some of my absolute favorites - my fall must haves if you will, and share them all with ...

Fall Living Room 2018 | Seasons of Home

19 Sep

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

18 Sep

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

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 ...
