Thanksgiving Mantel + Free Printables
This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small commission for any sales made through them. Full disclosure. Thanksgiving is quickly approaching! We are hosting dinner for the first time in our new home this year, so I have been busy getting the house ready. I set up a vintage boho mantel vignette, that I wanted to share with you today, along with some free printables I made for you! I actually made these last year right before Violet was born but, then never had time to share them here. Worth the wait I hope. I’ve mentioned a few times, how I plan to paint the brick of the…

Eclectic Fall Fireplace Mantel
Fall is in full swing here even though the weather is still unseasonably warm. We have had a few cooler days, and I know more are in the forecast for next week. The “real time” decorating has moved into Halloween mode at our house…just cute and fun..nothing scary because we don’t get into that. We have some cheesecloth spider webs, friendly ghosts and a Halloween tree with lots of handmade decorations from the little ones. Today, I am taking you back a couple of weeks, to our fall decorated fireplace mantel. It is slightly altered now for Halloween, but here is how I first did it up to welcome fall.…

Hello Fall Home Tour 2017
It’s officially fall! My favorite time of year is now through Christmas. I have a particularly soft spot in my heart for the first two weeks of November when Halloween is over and it starts to feel “holidayish” without the pressure of getting gifts. Everything starts to get crisp and cool outside and warm and cozy inside. But anyways…I am getting ahead of myself. It has actually been unseasonably hot here so it’s feeling more like an extended summer. But I have not let that stop me from decorating for fall! I am joining with some talented bloggers on this first official day of autumn to bring you our “Hello…

Packing Up a House Full of Memories
I knew it would feel like the blink of an eye and the time to move would be here. And now it has arrived. We officially moved out of our home this week and the new owner was given the keys yesterday. I was feeling all sorts of emotions as we went through this process and our home got emptier and emptier. We are currently housesitting for my cousin as we have waited for the closing day on our new home. We finally get to move in this weekend! Since my desktop computer is packed away, I only have access to our laptop and previous blog photos, so today I…

I have many rooms to show and tips and tricks to share with you. We were blessed to sell our home to the first person who saw it and over list price. The weeks leading up to selling, we were busy painting, cleaning, decluttering and researching how best to stage a home to sell. Today, I am taking you guys into our office and multi-purpose room. This room has mostly been a playroom and office for…
