If you’re in the midst of painting furniture to give your house a fresh look before the holiday company arrives remember these tips…
So, before we get started I feel like I may have lost some of you on this recipe at the word, beet. It’s actually a common thing to add beets to cakes that are considered southern staples. I set about creating this decadent recipe with the ingredients I had on hand for a moist, delicious beet brownie topped with peanut buttercream frosting.

One of the things I appreciate about being at my aunt and uncle’s farm is how welcoming and relaxing our time is there. They make sure we always have what we need from extra blankets to plenty mugs for hot chocolate. I’ve tried to replicate that same feeling for friends and family who visit my home on the island. I know a lot of you strive to do the same thing in your home too. Outdoor entertaining can be so much fun this time of year. Here are a few elements you’ll need to create a Gourmet S’mores Bar…
You may remember back in May, we gave the entire back patio area a makeover. At the time it looked really nice but the blistering heat and constant coastal rains really did a number on the pieces of furniture we had set up out there. I definitely want to make sure we’re able to continue to use the back patio area all winter long. Thankfully, I was able to take most of last week and weekend to give the space a fresh feel. Here’s a look at how all the details came together….
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.

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.
