Friday Finds: {Bar and Counter Stools}



 

Happy Fall and Happy Friday! 

 

Today I have rounded up some great bar stools and counter stools!  I get asked often about our barstools (number 1) so I did some shopping and found them for sale online.  If you have a HomeGoods near you and are patient, you can find them there for less...they usually only have a few at a time though.  Several of the options below come in other colors and the prices are great!

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! 

The Tuesday Ten: {Fall Foliage and Filler}

Happy 1st day of September.  It still feels like summer here in the Dallas area so I am keeping the pumpkins packed up for a few more weeks but I am eager to start decorating!  These natured inspired finds caught my eye and would be perfect to use while creating a fall vignette!  Links to each item can be found under the picture!

  2. Large Wheat Bundle
  3. Dried Lavender Bundles
  4. Birch Log Bundle
  5. Blackbeard Wheat Sheaf

Solving Design Dilemmas {Sponsored by Tuesday Morning}

Good morning and happy Friday!  I hope you all had a wonderful week. I am so excited for the weekend, especially since my girls went back to school this week and things have been a little crazy.  I cannot wait to NOT set the alarm clock tonight!

Today, I am guest posting over on the Tuesday Morning blog.  They asked their social media audience what design dilemmas they were faced with and I got to step in and come up with a solution.  Remember this design board I shared on my Instagram feed a few weeks ago?

Well, you will have to check out the blog to see the dilemma that inspired this design!

Before you head over to their blog, check out some of the items that caught my eye while I was shopping....as always, they have a great selection of home decor and furniture at great prices!

I am usually a neutral loving girl, but this chair is so much fun!

  

The vintage style of this cart is socharming...I wish I had a place for it in my home!

Loving the trellis pattern on this beauty!

 

This shabby chic clock caught my eye...this would be perfect in any room!

Talk about a statement piece...love the bold print!

And for those that know me...rustic wood and metal are some of my favorite things!

The Tuesday Ten: {Back to School Fashion With a Picky 7 Year Old}

We survived the first day of school with smiles all around!  One battle I am facing is the fashion face-off with my 7 year old!  She definitely knows what she likes and it usually isn't exactly what I have in mind...however, we did some shopping and agreed on these pieces.  I kept her out of a particular store that has lots and lots of glitter...if you are a girl mom, you know the one!  There is nothing wrong with that store, except when you accidentally wash your husband's shirts with a glittery graphic tee from said store....not that I would ever do such a thing! ;) 

I thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite finds with you incase you face the same battle we do! The first outfit shown was what my daughter wore the first day of school, only she wore a plain black skirt because they didn't have the cute floral one in her size in store, but we ordered it and cannot wait to get it!  The shoes are so cute in person and fit pretty true to size.  If your child is a half size, order up!

The gray, floral dress and gray ankle boots is what she wore today...and it is one of my favorite outfits!  When it gets chilly outside, we will add leggings and a jean jacket!  The plaid dress and last outfit will be perfect when the weather gets cooler....hurry up fall!

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!

Break the Bank vs. Cheapskate: {Crystal Drop Chandeliers}

A Saturday post?  I know, crazy...but I am trying to be a better blogger and have something fun to share with you today! 

Now let's talk about these chandeliers!  I have #4 in our guest room and love it!  The price cannot be beat.  Also, the fact that these" cheapskates" have more expensive cousins from Pottery Barn and look nearly identical is a great thing!  Sources for the "cheapskate" versions are linked below.
