I don’t consider myself a fashionista, but I do like putting outfits together that are go along with my style, and definitely have a soft spot for accessories. I think anyone who has met me would agree, I don’t dress for trendy, but I do like to be comfortably in style. So I put together a little mood board of one of my favorite fall outfits. August is usually about the time I start craving cooler weather so I can bust out my vest and scarves and boots!
Today I’m sharing the lovely Elisa Jobe. You can find her on IG @jobestead, or on her photography Facebook page HERE. I love Elisa’s style, and her taste is the perfect blend of a crisp neutral palette with farmhouse touches! Enjoy! Hi my name is Elisa Jobe. Thank you for taking a peek into my home!
We are currently renting and just moved in a couple months ago. We are planning and hoping to build our own farmhouse very soon! I love to decorate with a modern farmhouse feel. Rustic woods, rusty metals and chippy paint are my faves …
It’s really hard not to compare these days. With social media slamming everyone else success’s in our faces, we can easily fall into the trap of comparison without even realizing it. We go from cheering someone on, to slowly starting a downward spin cycle of feelings that tell us we’re “not good enough” or success will never happen for our own personsal goals. So how do we celebrate with someone, or even scroll through social media, without letting those feelings start to consume us.
You can catch all the details in the “tutorial” post as to why I decided to go with wallpaper vs. real or faux bead board. While I don’t think installing wallpaper to a ceiling is for the faint at heart. Once I figured out the right formula of soaking the wall paper, allowing the paste to activate, and cutting the right lengths, it went up pretty quickly! Are you ready to see the results?!
I have been wanting to add bead board to the ceiling in our kitchen since, OH about FOREVER! There are plenty of options out there for installing bead board, and for the most part non are super pricey. They more differ in difficulty and the tools needed to install. I’ve always loved the look, and even though the hubby was on board, his plate has been so full I couldn’t see him having time any time in the near future to tackle this project. One of the options I always kept in min was using bead board wallpaper, and so that was exactly the route I decided to go. The ceiling in our kitchen was smooth, so using wallpaper was a perfect solution.
I know in some areas kids are headed back to school. We still have another 3 weeks to go before school starts for us, however I did just drop off kindergarten registration forms today for my baby! Our kindergarten is a full day program, and they go to school just like the rest of elementary kids, so we are pretty excited around here for both kiddos to be in school. Honestly I think they are more excited than I am, which makes me love the school they go to even more. So even though we aren’t headed back to school, I wanted to share a sneak peak of the look and feel we are going for this fall. I’m so excited about this, because one of my favorite shops Vol. 25, just launched their fall collection “Haven”, and it is full of beautiful prints to help you welcome fall in your home too!
One of my favorite tricks for adding decor into the dining room is removing all the plastic wrap from candle sticks, and then placing them in a clear vase. It’s decor but practical at the same time because they are at hands reach when you want to have a candle light dinner. Come see how I incorporate it into a simple farmhouse vignette in our dining room …
One of the things I love most about farmhouse style decor is it’s relaxed feel and easy living vibe that lets all of us put our own spin on it. While we all have similarities, in farmhouse decor you get to personalize your look all on your own, which makes seeing every home, inspirational! Todays tour is nothing short of inspirational, and I know you are going to love it too!
To really make outdoor spaces inviting and comfortable I bring my inside necessities out. This means extra throw pillows, little side tables, nothing is off limits.

Come join me as I share these and more of my essential summer entertaining tips.
