It’s been such a fun season using honeycrisp apples throughout the house in autumn decorating and in recipes too. Before, I start sharing late fall and Thanksgiving inspiration, I wanted to post one last look of how we’ve been celebrating fall this year with an Autumn Apple Home Tour.
I’ve been working this week to add a bit of fall inspiration to the kitchen area. I don’t add a lot of decoration to the kitchen because this space gets used so much. While I want it to be pretty, I still want it to be functional so I try to keep things fairly simple. Here’s how all the details came together…
I’m a few weeks away from swapping out apples for pumpkins so I wanted to do something with the fall inspired entry that would make the transition into Thanksgiving a seamless one. This project took a few minutes and is something that anyone can replicate. Here’s how all of the details came together…
Do you guys ever have those moments where you feel really rich and it has nothing to do with money? Having lots of mums on the front porch for fall feels like such a luxury to me. It’s something I look forward to every year. Just seeing that little burst of color as I walk down the walkway makes me happy. Welcome to my fall inspired front porch tour…
It all started last year when I was decorating the front porch for fall. The salt air, marsh winds and coastal rains had caused the front door to become faded and worn. It made my whole porch look tired. I’ve tried a lot of different paints over the past few months but there’s been one paint in particular I’ve wanted to try. Enter Modern Masters, Front Door Paint.
I was a little apprehensive about bringing my vintage wicker furniture from the front porch to the back patio. The patio gets a good amount of sun and is open to the elements. I was totally shocked at the shape they were in after only 4 months. Here are a few tips on how to clean outdoor wicker furniture…
Once I finished this vintage inspired apple picking sign, I knew I would use apples throughout the house as part of my fall décor. At first, I couldn’t decide where I wanted to use the sign. I tried it outside on the porches and then finally decided to try it on the mantel. It’s been there ever since. Here’s how all of the details of the Fall Inspired Mantel came together…
Today I’m collaborating with some of my favorite bloggers for a Fall Blog Hop featuring tabletops and mantels. It’s been so much fun to see all of the creative fall décor around blogland these past few weeks. Welcome to my fall inspired dining room…
A few weeks ago, I found this four-drawer dresser at an estate sale. I’ve painted so many pieces of furniture in Duck Egg lately I started looking for other paint colors that would have a marine feel. I combined two colors of mineral based furniture paint to create a coastal blue and weather inspired dresser makeover. Here’s how it all came together…
This small table and bar stools isn’t the type of thing I usually purchase but I knew it could be used so many different ways. It didn’t really need much of a makeover but I wanted to brighten up the base without changing the top. I chose Rust- oleum’s indoor/outdoor spray paint for metal in white to paint the base.
A few months ago my Mom found a kitchen island she LOVED. But it was several thousand dollars over budget. I know, right? My Dad promised he could build her an island she would love just as much.
As I shared earlier this week, I’ve been coming home with lots of goodies lately. This dresser was one of several pieces of furniture I’ve been excited to find. Given there is only one piece of furniture left in my booth at The Pickers Market painted in what has become a signature color, I knew this duck egg painted dresser would be a big hit. Wait until you see the before picture, it doesn’t even look like the same piece.
