It’s All about Fall Y’all – $100 Target Gift Card Giveaway
This past week we’ve had the BEST weather and I’m ready to start my weekend early! It’s been anywhere from the high 60’s to the mid 80’s and I’m in LOVE! I like the idea of Summer, but hate the actual heat. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m definitely the kind of person who would MUCH rather be cold than hot, anyday. (you can only get so naked without it getting weird, ya know?).
So as you can imagine, now that we have a much needed break from the high 90’s temps, we have been playing outside a lot more. Bikes, scooters, the park, you name it.
Aubrielle has been coming home from school and the I swear, the first thing she says everyday is, “Mom, will you come jump with me?”… sometimes this just consists of me sitting outside, watching her play and bounce around on the trampoline like crazy, but other times I get right in there with a good air split or two. Ohhh yeahhh, I’ve still got moves :-p
With this cooler weather, I’ve also been thinking a lot about Fall decorating. I did a post last year over on Homes.com about Decorating with Nature for Fall, and since then I’ve been trying to think of more ways to bring the outdoors IN to our space.

I like the ideas on -While having only one specific style (french country, modern, traditional, eclectic, etc…) may seem like the best way to approach decorating a new space, sometimes in the end, it can actually tend to lean a bit on the extreme side of things; which also makes it harder to change things up later, most of us seem to really be looking for a good mix of all different kinds of designs that we can try out.

We recently moved and I am looking for something new and diy and I found it. 4 or 5 colors of paint were put on a wall in fairly wide swaths until the wall was covered. Then an Ikat stencil was put on top and the herringbone design was painted in white. It seems to be a lot easier than painting the lines with 2 different colors and so beautiful! I can't wait to try it on a large canvas, to hang over our couch. I like the fact that it looks much harder than it is!

I loved the article on adding pops of color in a rental space. Like with most rentals, I'm not allowed to paint the walls, which I understand, but I can do whatever I want with my furniture & decor. I particularly liked teh idea about creating vignettes. It's a simple idea and something that can be done pretty easily, but isn't something I always think about. I'll definitely be adding a few of these to my space 🙂

I'm loving the post about mixing different decorating styles. You are absolutely right about people getting stuck in a rut when shopping for decor. I have found myself thinking something won't go with what I already have and passing it up even though I really love the piece. Hopefully I can embrace differing styles a little better in the future.

What a resourcefull website – how did I not know about it!?!?! My husband and I just purchased our first home and are really trying to put our own touches to our current basic home. Framing each window is actually on our Fall to-do list, so how nice to have a great how-to video on "How-to Add Window Mouldings"!! Katie and Jon made it look super simple and totally do-able for young home-owners — thank you so much! (I like how Jon let Katie use the tools, too! See hunny…. I can do it!) After watching the first video, I was interested in seeing what else they had up their sleeves, and it just so happened that we need to re-caulk to prepare for the fall/winter! What a great bookmark find!!!!!

10 Things Staging Companies Do to Help Sell Your Home was insightful, and the Selling Your Home and Curb Appeal sections are full of great ideas I can use to prep our home to sell in the hopefully not too distant future!
Sorry if this is a duplication; my previous comment is not showing up for me.

I love the ideas of pops of colors. I am trying for a neutral color palette (sp??) 😉 and adding pops of color throughout the house. I like all the tredy things of course, making a mason jar light fixture is one of them!

I went to the DYI section. There is a tip that read "Go Trendy with small things not the big ones." I very much agree with that and incorporate it in my home.
Thanks!

Loved the pops of color and use of pattern ideas – plan on doing both!

I really appreciate the checklist section. Last week we had a small bathroom leak AND our a/c went on the fritz…so I'm in "operation keep what works working" mode and needed the reminders about basic home upkeep. (Of course I love the pretty stuff too!)

I love the article on decorating a rental house. It's hard to find posts targeted to those of us unable to paint & do other DIY projects.

I love the article on decorating a rental. There's not a lot of articles targeted to those of us that aren't able to paint or do other DIY projects.
