I tried really hard to use lots of color in my Fall front porch this year. I had every intention of using all of the deep and pretty hues that bring all of the Fall feels. This porch refresh started with red mums and dark colors and it just wasn't "me" no matter how hard I tried. I changed a few things and decided to go with a palette that I felt better represents my style. Here's a look at how our Fall porch with antique accents turned out! From the get-go, I wanted to use lots of kale and ...

Neutral Farmhouse Fall Centerpiece
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.

DIY Architectural Sconces
I have a confession: I am addicted to architectural salvage. There, I said it 🙋🏻♀️ I just love old chippy pieces used many years ago and love even more finding new ways to use them.

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. With this decision, I also realized I would need to "rough" it up a bit by adding some elements that weren't so polished. One of the easiest ways I did this was by adding hardware that had an old school look.Since we went with white cabinets in our kitchen I wanted to use hardware that would have a pretty ...
