Back in November my mom and I were on our way to Renningers in search of a few accessories, chandeliers and a dresser for Loblolly Manor. It’s about a 3 hour drive which naturally gave us plenty of time to catch up. While the conversation jumped from one topic to the next, we kept circling back to one issue in particular….2015 was flying by at warp speed.
One topic that keeps coming up with my family is how to store everything we’ve been baking this holiday season. We’ve definitely gone through our fair share of cookies. We needed something that would well but we also wanted a way to personalize our cookie containers. You may have passed up cookie or popcorn tins at your local thrift store but we’ve found a way to give them new life.
As you guys all know, I’m a big fan of mixing new finds with cherished family favorites. I love the layered mix of pieces that have lots of patina snuggled next to treasured new pieces. Then I realized decorating around the vintage items I use every day doesn’t have to be hard…you just have to see them in a different way. These are a few of my favorite examples of how to decorate for Christmas using vintage items.

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…

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.

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…
