This is my first year having a big kitchen table to work with for fall so I was anxious to create a fun centerpiece and share with you guys! I brainstormed for a few days and knew that I wanted to keep it neutral in here while still adding some warm elements. On my mind: copper, chippy, pumpkins & dried flowers. This is what I came up with. Somehow I managed to create a centerpiece that checked all of my boxes! That's a win in my book👏🏼 I started this centerpiece with 3 placemats lined up ...

I am thinking they were old pieces of porch railing but that is just a guess! It's hard to be sure with something as unique as ...
Farmhouse Kitchen Hardware : Faucet, Knobs, and Pulls
Ever since this home of ours was just a figment of our imagination, I knew that I wanted a (mostly) white farmhouse kitchen. There is just something so fresh, crisp and timeless about them.

Fall Mantel Makeover
Since it's September that means it's socially acceptable to decorate for fall, right?! Right. Ready or not, here comes the next season! This is my favorite time of year so I get super antsy to decorate for it. This weekend I was out and about and drove past a Joann Fabrics.

They looked so realistic and I had ...
