2025 FALL HOME TOUR || ENTRY, DINING ROOM, AND LIVING ROOM

Last week I shared my colorful Fall Patio with you, today why don't you come on inside for a tour? I'll show you around the Entry, Dining Room, and Living Room where I concentrated my Fall decorations.  This year rather than using bold Fall colors as I've usually done in the past, I wanted something just a bit calmer but still different than traditional Fall colors.  I've had a blush pink and tan/brown color combo rolling around in my head that I've wanted to experiment with, so that's what I went with!    I also just wanted an overall warm and cozy feel, but you know I still have to layer in the colors and patterns even if I was trying to "tone it down" a bit.  I still want it to be intersting, fun, and whimsical!  I only did one little craft as I set out my decorations this year- I bought these velvet mushrooms last year at Hobby Lobby (not sure if they had them again this year or not) and they are so good but I was struggling with how to use them.  ......

OCTOBER ROAD TRIP PART 1- PERDIDO KEY AND A VISIT TO HOME TOWN'S LAUREL, MISSISSIPPI {AND A SALE ALERT!}

In a previous post I mentioned that we were headed out on a big road trip, we've been back home from our travels for a week or so and it was such a nice trip!  I have several parts of it to share with you, so today I'll show you the first part of our visit to the beach and some stops along the way. One of those included a stop in Laurel, Mississippi to visit the small town where the HGTV show Home Town is filmed.   We enjoy the beaches in AL and FL and have been to several all up and down the Gulf coast, but sticking close to the FL panhandle is the quickest spot for us to reach if we are driving from OKC.  With our last minute planning, I ended up finding an Airbnb at Perdido Key which we've visited in the past with the kids and really enjoyed!   It's doable in a loooong day from OKC, but for this trip I wanted to take the time to make a few stops along the way so we decided to split the drive into two days.  The first stop I wanted to make was in Lau......

2025 FALL HOME TOUR || PINK AND ORANGE PATIO DECORATIONS

In the past I've done a pink and orange Fall color combo several times on my front porch and am doing something a little different this year, but I still love the mix!  So, I thought I'd have some fun with those colors for my Fall patio decorations this year.   Really, this pleated fan banner is what kicked it all off for me.  I bought it not even sure how I would use it but I knew I loved it!  I keep cup hooks under the mantel and so the ends were easy to just tie on, then I slipped a little piece of wire through the ribbon that connects all the fans to hang the middle section.  I kept the mantel simple- not many options with the tv mounted- but added some striped bows to the rechargeable lamps and some pumpkins I got from At Home at some point.   Y'all see my pink squirrels in one spot or another nearly every year.  I got them from At Home years ago and spray painted them after a few years of their original gray finish.  They told m......
