Happy Monday morning to you!  November is flying by and Thanksgiving is right around the corner!  It is time to get those holiday plans going.  I have rounded up some fun ideas to keep the kid's table the cool place to be on Thanksgiving! 

Love this butcher paper table cloth the kids can color on!

Love this idea for the whole family.  "Turkey Talk"...draw a question and everyone takes turns answering it.  Great for family dinners any night!

Our Home: {Fall Snapshots}

Happy November 1st!  I am still trying to figure out what happened to October.  Seriously, it went by so fast!  I am a little behind on posting our fall décor so I thought it would be a good time to share a few fall snapshots with you before it is time to bring out the Christmas décor!

 

This year I stuck with subtle and simple decor.  I love the look of natural elements in soft hues.  This lantern from HomeGoods is one of my favorite pieces because it can stay out all year long and switched up easily by what is inside.  For fall, I actually kept the fern I had in it from spring...and I think it added a nice pop of green.  The driftwood pumpkins from Tuesday Morning added a simple fall touch and brought in some texture to this space.  Of course, my vintage card catalog adds a ton of character to the space so I didn't want to over do the decor.  Less is more, sometimes!

 

 

Our reading nook got a cozy touch with this faux fur rug.  I love using layers to create interest in a neutral space.  

This vignette was easy to create using a wood bowl and antlers I purchased at Homegoods awhile ago.  By simply adding the little white pumpkins, also from Homegoods, it quickly became a fall vignette!

 

Keeping with the simple and subtle theme, our living room was adorned with a crate of pumpkins on the coffee table and a few cotton stems on the mantle. Nothing over the top, but just enough to add a fall ambiance!

 

 

I cannot wait until it gets cool enough to light the fire! Until then, these candles will get a lot of use!

 

In our dining room, I kept with the same theme and used natural elements to bring a little fall inside.  A few real, white pumpkins and mercury glass votive holders completed the look!

 

 

I hope you enjoyed my mini-fall home tour!  Have a great week!

Fall Flashback: {Snapshots from our home last fall}

Good morning!  Since I am still not giving in to pumpkins and wheat bundles just yet, I thought it would be fun to share a few "flashback" pictures of our home last fall.  Don't get me wrong, I am so ready to adorn our home with little white pumpkins, my favorite, but I am holding out for a little longer!

Last year, I decided to add small touches of fall to each room.  As mentioned above, I am a sucker for white pumpkins so they were sprinkled throughout our home.  I also stuck with the natural theme and just added a few new things to what I already had.  Pinecones are always a fall staple around here and are great to use throughout the winter months! I loved our home last fall, it felt cozy and warm so I plan on repeating the natural "theme" this year.

This vintage inspired crate from HomeGoods was the perfect find for unused space in our kitchen. I love decorating it for each season! This vignette was literally thrown together using several things I already had and then I added the real, white pumpkins to finish the look.  It is totally normal to put a seagrass pumpkin in a cake stand...I decided!

I love the look it added to the space and created a festive vignette that is visible from the dining room, too!

 

 

I added a few pumpkins and cinnamon sticks to this area.  It is amazing what a difference a few items can make. 

 

 

Little white pumpkins also made an appearance on our breakfast nook shelves...

 

 

Our breakfast nook all ready for fall...

 

 

Our chalkboard is changed up often...it is a great way to add a personal touch to any space.  I love the rustic, barn-wood frame on this one I got at HomeGoods!

 

More small pumpkins added a pop of orange to our breakfast bar...there is no such thing as too many pumpkins!

 

I cannot wait to add touches of fall to our mantle. It will be the first project for me this year.  I keep a natural theme year around using driftwood pieces, candles, branches and fern sprigs.  I love these jars from HomeGoods...the wire adds a nice texture and they are great to keep up all year!  I am thinking cotton stems would be a great addition for fall!

 

 

Hope you enjoyed the fall flashback!  I am so excited to decorate this year and cannot wait to share our fall home tour with you!  Now if the weather would just cool down, we would be all set! 

Monday Inspiration

School started today for my girls and this mom wasn't quite ready.  I think as your kids get older, time seems to go by so much faster!  This year I have a senior (gasp) and a 2nd grader and I need time to slow down...way down!!  If you have school aged kiddos, I hope they have a great year!  Are you in the boo-hoo or woo-hoo category this year?  I am in the boo-hoo for sure!

Speaking of time going by way too fast, fall is approaching and I am thrilled about that!  I am not quite ready to break out the pumpkins and fall foliage just yet (since it is still very hot in Texas), but it is never too early to get inspired!
