Autumn. If we could bottle up Fall and put it into a potion, it would smell like apple crisp in the oven. It would taste like pumpkin spice cake next to a cup of steaming coffee. It would sound like college football, with crowds and the band and whistles and cheers. It would feel like cozy sweaters and flannel scarves and thick boots. And it would look like...well...a fall home tour.
I haven't blogged much these days. And for this I am sorry. I have taken some time to work with a new company, and my second little baby girl is here. Being a mommy to two is much busier then a mommy to one.
But we have worked hard on our 1950's cape cod. Lots of DIY. We've only lived in it for 6 months but it feels like home. So I wanted to give you a fall home tour for your own fall inspiration. Take these pictures and feel free to use them for your own ideas on fall crafting. Or just use them as a way to prepare for the season.
The breakfast nook. I've changed this room several times to accommodate traffic flow. I'm still not sure if I've settled on the way it 'should be'. The cowhide rug was a gift from my dad. The old metal crate hold magazines and books.
These floating shelves hold mostly our wedding dishes. We made them from scrap wood we actually had found in the basement of our new home.
This floating shelf also holds many treasures. Many may walk in our home and feel that it's a bit full. I assure you, everything I have collected over the years has a meaning or a purpose or a memory. These horns were Drew's first childhood buck trophy.
I ended up spraying quite a few of my old tired pumpkins a gold color this year.
The dining room is probably my favorite room in our house. Drew did all the wainscotting and it's my favorite. Our new table is made with boards from my dad's barn. The same barn we got married in!
This silver ice bucket was Drew's grandmothers.
The living room showcases our newest DIY built-ins!
Happy Fall Y'all! I'm glad you stopped by for some inspiration today!
XOXO
