I think it was two Januarys ago when I first started talking about finding a new farmhouse dining table. I shared examples of farm tables I’d seen, and then a year later I swapped my dining and living rooms and created a new sitting room, which you can see in my recent fall home tour….
When you don’t know how to decorate for fall, or you simply don’t have a lot of time and don’t want to break the bank, create a few fall vignettes with baby boo pumpkins. These sweet little white pumpkins are my go-to decorating staple when the autumn season breezes into town. A few years ago…
The past few weeks I’ve been organizing my rooms and getting rid of some items. My neighbor took most of my small furniture pieces and gave them to family members. I’m glad they went to good use and I feel a bit freer and less stressed now that the house is getting in order. My…
This post is sponsored by Fiber One. All opinions are my own. Fall means a lot of different things to me. It’s back-to-school season, it’s time for taking nature walks, it’s fall running season, and it’s time to enjoy a little “me time” on my fall front porch. This is my favorite spot when…

Hello Friends! The sweltering heat has subsided in Illinois and we’re back to cooler fall temps. This time of year always makes me feel like nesting and sprucing up my spaces.

Officially the calendar says it’s fall, but outside it’s a sweltering 90-degrees here outside of Chicago. And the heat is supposed to continue for the next several days. Ugh. Still, I’m keeping an autumn state of mind and am sharing a few pretty fall vignettes with you that might help you get your own home…

Welcome to the first part of my fall farmhouse tour! I’ve been getting rooms ready ever since Deb at Seeking Lavender Lane decided to organize this fall tour of farmhouse bloggers. Every day this week, different bloggers are sharing their homes decked out for the fall season. The links are at the end of this…
Although I love summer, I love fall too! I’m enjoying the emergence of the gorgeous colors of fall. Everywhere you turn there’s visual evidence of autumn’s charm. From the turning of leaves to the gathering wheat in the farm fields, there’s an abundance of eye candy. Wouldn’t it be fun to stack a pile of…
Although it’s not officially fall, the autumn decorating season in the blogger world has begun! Last week I joined Taryn Whiteaker and a few other ladies for a DIY fall project. Today I’m joining a slightly larger group to share more seasonal decor. See how to create a vintage fall mantel with old brown bottles…
