If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram,then you have already seenmy chalkboard door in my dining room for Fall.So today I'm going to give you acloser look at how I came up with it.First I compiled the words Iwanted to use, and envisioned the layout in my head.{sorry no photo for that process :) }Then I opened up a blank word document,to play around with the fontsI wanted to use.I didn't really have anything in particular in mind,except for the first word,HarvesT,I wanted on the top, in a semi-circle(like a rising sun).So I grabbed this document off of Pinterest,that gives you tips for usingdifferent types of fonts.via: this sourceI pretty much free handed it from ...

Earlier this week I shared with you how our dining room looks for fall. So today I'm going to show youa few things I did to change up the living room for fall.I love the warm fall tones it adds to the room,it makes everything feel that much cozier.So if I had you over for a cup(s) of coffee,we'd be getting comfy in the living room with my yummyharvest candles going, pumpkin spice coffee, and my kids tearing aparttheir playroom, deciding who can roar like the loudest dinosaur.Hope the couch is comfy :)I switched out the large white pitcher full of hydrangea's for something a little more rustic and fall feeling.I got this pot at a yard sale for $5. It's huge! It ... Read More about Welcome Fall

Last week I got the house all ready for fall.So today I'm going to share a few snapshots of the dining room with you.I'll be back throughout the rest of the week,to share some more, and my fall mantle,but for now wanted to give you a glimpse of how we have welcomed fall.I switched out the summer decor, for some tan twigs, and clusters of berries,my favorite fall candle {Harvest Wreath by Yankee Candle},and switched out the vase fillersaround the pillar candles.I stacked some books, and wrapped them with fabric scraps and twine to give the white pumpkin a nice place to land. I grabbed two different kinds of beans at the grocery store to replace the white sand I had in ... Read More about Adding Fall Touches around the House

Last Monday I did a little post on some updates we were working on in the master bedroom.And even though I'm not quite done,I am have been done painting.If you follow me on Facebook,then you probably saw these little pictures pop up this afternoon:Well the wait is over :)Hooray!Back in January, we added an accent wall of Board&Batten to our master bedroom.I LOVED it. Still do. So when I got back from vacation, I casuallyasked the hubby what he thought about doing the other walls.And just like that boards were going up.Once everything got a few coats of white paint,we were done :)Simple as that.I think one of the things I like the most,is it adds a calming factor to the ...
