Decorating the front stoop this fall came together easy with neutral soft colors! While I was decorating and photographing my front stoop for fall, something kind of funny occurred to me: I'm letting my crazy show a little more than usual. I tended to notice every car that drove by, every person walking their dog, and every neighbor mowing their lawn. Maybe they didn't notice me at all, but I assumed that every single one of them was wondering why I was going full-fall in the very wee early ... Read More about Fall Stoop Decor

Fall Mantel
This fall I decorated the front of the fireplace and kept the mantel fairly simple. Jumping into the week on a Tuesday feels so weird, doesn't it?

Late Summer Tablescape
Fall is just around the corner, but I wanted to squeeze oooonnnnne more summer post in before I start digging out the bins of fall decor from the basement. This late summer tablescape embodies all the best parts of summer's final chapter. The blooming sunflowers and juicy watermelon just give out the summer vibe, don't they? If you follow me on Instagram and watch my stories, then you know all too well that I had quite the challenge putting this table together. ;) You see, I had a pretty ...
