For Day Five of the 31 Day Challenge, I made a wreath for our back door. I started to make a wreath for this door two years ago. I was going to make more of the flowers from my spring wreath and attach them to a yarn covered pool noodle like Bower Power did. I […]
Simple Fall Centerpiece
I’m so excited for Day 1 of the 31 Days Challenge! The first project on my list to finish up was my fall table decor. I went really, really simple this year. I have been in love with neutral colored pumpkins the past couple of years because they compliment the colors in my dining room […]
Simple and Neutral Fall Mantel
Thanks for all of your kind comments here and on Facebook regarding my post on Friday. I usually try to keep this blog my own happy corner of the internet, but sometimes life is really hard and it felt disingenuous to not share. So thankful for all of your support! On a much lighter note, […]
Fall 2013 Door Decor
Last stop on our fall home tour is the front porch! I loved the leaf wreath I made last year, but the preserved leaves faded in the sun by the end of fall, so I couldn’t reuse it this year. I decided to go a different route with this year’s wreath and try something that […]

Getting Crafty with Pumpkins
I’ve been inspired to get crafty with my pumpkins this year! I usually just leave them plain, but my dining room has a lot of cool colors, so I wanted to decorate my pumpkins in neutrals to match my existing decor. First up, a burlap covered pumpkin! I had some burlap ribbon on hand […]

Fall Decor: Simplified
So when we left off, this is what parts of our house were looking like all decked out for Fall: Festive Tablescape… Decorated Mantel with Burlap Banner… I liked it and enjoyed it, but… when I’m busy, I can’t stand lots of stuff around. Messes stress me out and I go on a de-cluttering spree. […]
Fall Decor Wrap Up + Link Party Favorites
I have to say, all my fall decor was really easy this year! Here’s a quick recap on the diy projects. First off was the burlap runner with burlap napkin rings. I simply bought a roll of burlap at Michaels and cut it in half lengthwise to use as a runner. Then, I cut strips from the […]
Fall Fireplace Decor
Well, we’re to our final stop in the fall decorations tour…the fireplace! I rearranged it a million times, but am finally satisfied with it. I used things I already had on hand except for the burlap bunting that I made. The candles and candle holders are part of my everyday fireplace decor. I just dressed […]
