Cobwebs & Crows Halloween Chandelier
This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small commission for any sales made through them but the cost to you does not change. Full disclosure. I’m still in Halloween mode here! Less than a week away now. I’ve already shown you our Halloween mantel, my vintage buffet vignette and dining room table. Today, I am focusing on how I did up our chandelier in the dining room with cobwebs and crows. I decided to go for a derelict old house vibe in here with what looked like years worth of old cobwebs covering the surfaces. I started by taking layers of cheeseboth and draping them from light to light. This was…

Eclectic Fall Decor Ideas
I orignally shared this post last year, but in case you missed it then, I am reposting it today. I love eclectic decorating and fall is my absolute favorite time of year. I hope you enjoy these! Happy early fall! * * * * Fall is finally here! After the hottest summer I can remember, I am thrilled that cooler weather has arrived in my neck of the woods. The leaves are changing, we’ve actually had rain after one of the driest seasons, and the humidity is finally gone. I love this time of year! Decorating for this season is one of my favorite things to do, and I love…

Copper + Gold Boho Thanksgiving Table Ideas
This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small commission for any sales made through them. Full disclosure. Thanksgiving is coming fast! Even though we are expecting our third baby any time now, there is still a chance we might host Thanksgiving dinner here. It would be potluck and my husband would cook the turkey, so that I can simply focus on our new baby…and making the house pretty for our guests. The creativity involved with that actually excites me no matter what is going on. I’m planning now how I want to do up the table should we decide to have our family here. This is what I…

Trick-or-Treat Halloween Mantel
Happy Halloween! My kids are so excited to dress up today as a pink fairy and Iron Man for their school costume parade and then head out trick-or-treating this evening. I hope I can keep up with them! I’m 38 weeks along now, just waiting on Baby Girl to make her appearance. A few weeks ago, I finally got the “Halloween decorating bug” and did up our dining room mantel. Hazel and Owen had fun helping me and making their own decorations too. Mainly, I used items we already had, decorations from previous years, and some crafts we worked on together. The only new purchases were all of the pumpkins…

Simple Fall Mantel: Minimalist & Natural
This year, I decided to go fairly simple with my fall mantel decor. The walls and salvaged mantel are both white, so I wanted to bring in a bit of deep seasonal colors and natural elements to welcome autumn into our dining room. I shared a glimpse of it in my recent Fall Home Tour. Today, I am sharing more details of how I brought it all together. This post contains some affiliate links. I may receive a small commission for any sales made through them. Full disclosure. It began with a woven basket, found at a thrift store, and a pair of brass candlesticks. I was really feeling simple,…

Easter Basket Gift Ideas for Toddlers & Preschoolers
This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small commission for any sales made through them. Full disclosure. It’s hard to believe Easter is next weekend! I am always so last minute getting my kids’ baskets made up. If you are in the same boat, and have a toddler or preschooler in your house, I have a round up of some adorable gifts to fill their baskets. We always have an egg hunt for the kids first thing (outside if the weather cooperates and inside if not), which we fill with little candies, stickers, or small toys. And then eventually the trail of eggs leads to their baskets. Here…
