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!

Friday Finds: {Accent Tables Under $100}

Hello there! Hope you all had a wonderful week!  Today I am sharing some unique accent tables that are all under $100!  These are great pieces to add to any space...maybe a cozy reading nook, between a set of chairs, at the end of a couch or even in a bathroom that has some extra space! 

I think all of these are unique in their own way...from the vintage inspired "card catalog" style to the more modern look of the hairpin leg- rustic wood table, they would all add a fun touch to any space!   

Click below on the description to view each product and source:
1. Card Catalog Inspired Table
2. Round Pedestal Table
3. Rustic Wood Accent Table
4. Hairpin Leg Accent Table
5. Round Wood and Metal Accent Table
6. Round Metal/Rust Table
7. Galvanized Metal Studded Table
8. Brushed Gold Round Table

I really love them all but number 6 is probably my favorite with the rusted patina on the top paired with the more modern legs!  I also adore number 7 and have a table very similar to it in my home!  Do you have a favorite?

Hope you enjoy your weekend!  Have a great one!

Break the Bank vs. Cheapskate {Tufted Linen Chair}

I received an email from Linda asking if I had any suggestions for a cheapskate version of the chair below.  I actually had considered ordering two of these chairs a few months back for my living room but ended up finding something perfect at Home Goods instead.  I really do love these chairs though...everything from the tufting to the nail head trim...and they look really comfortable!

Break the Bank:
$800 (on sale)

Cheapskate:

$329 (on sale)

Link: Tafton Tufted Chair

 

 

 

If you do not love the dark legs on the "cheapskate" version, a little paint and some stain will give you the same look of the "break the bank" version...and you save over $400!  That is a great deal!

 

 

 

 

Break the Bank vs. Cheapskate {Arch Window Frame Mirror}

Today we are talking about arched "window" mirrors.  I had a sweet reader contact me asking me to find her a "cheapskate" version of Wisteria's Conservatory Arch Mirror and I think I found her some great options!!  Check it out...

Break the Bank:
Conservatory Arch Mirror
$399

Cheapskate:

$179 (sale $129)

Here is another option that is a little higher than the "cheapskate" version, but still a reasonable price for a large mirror!

$215.99  **update: an awesome reader just informed me that this one is on sale for $131.98 now, awesome deal**

Which one is your favorite?  I really love them all, but for the price difference, I think the 2nd or 3rd would be my picks!

{Garden Ridge Goodies}

  I stopped into Garden Ridge the other day just because I happened to pass it and had some time on my hands.  It is not very close to my home so it is not a place I frequent a lot.  To be totally honest, I had written it off a few years ago when I went in and found a huge selection of cheap scrubs, children's books and not much else.  Well let me tell you....things have changed!  I am happy to say that they have some great items and I will be making the trip back there a few times a month!  Here are just a few of the items that stopped me in my tracks!


Scatter rugs...these are great to add a pop of color to a bathroom, hallway, kitchen or in front of your doors!  These ranged from $9.99-$19.99 and they had some great colors and patterns!  I grabbed a gray and white chevron one for our back door!

 

 



 Hello giant letters...I have never seen letters this large! The picture doesn't do them justice, they are HUGE!  These were priced at $89, which sounds like a lot, but like I said...these are massive!

 

 

 I just did a post on industrial metal seating and then I come across these!  They had the best color selection I have seen! These were priced at $34.99 for counter height and $44.99 for bar height...such a great price for these!

 

 

 Let's talk chairs...they have a ton of accent chairs priced at $199 with a great selection of prints and styles.  I cannot wait to use these in some of my client's homes! 

 

 

 I couldn't believe the amazing selection of topiaries.  If you have shopped around for these you know they can get pricey! The one pictured in the galvanized bucket was $29.99 and about 3ft. tall!  I will probably go back and pick up a few to use for spring decor! 

 

 

 This little tray table caught my eye....driftwood color and industrial metal legs always makes me stop and take a look.  For $49.99 this would be a great accent table.  I almost bought it to create a mini-bar area in my husband's office.  It one of many things that I am considering going back for!

 

 

 And last but not least....area rugs! They have some fabulous area rugs! This was an 8 x 10 for $249!   Their selection of different styles, color and patterns was impressive.  Some of them did not look like they were the best quality, but once I dug around a little, I found several that I would recommend to clients!

I cannot wait to go back and see what else I can find!

Pretty Things {Wood Bead Chandelier}

One of the most talked about items in my home is my dining room chandelier.  Unfortunately, it has been discontinued, but I have seen it pop up on One Kings Lane a time or two!  I knew when I started to select lighting that I wanted a wood bead chandelier.  Here is what we ended up with.....

 

Since the one I have is no longer available, I did some research and found some similar options!  I actually really love all of these....while they are all a little different, they give the same overall feel!
