End Of The Month Randomness { September }

Image
As I'm cleaning up my picture files today (which I'm trying to get into the habit of doing at the end of each month) I realized that there's quite a bit of things that I didn't get around to posting about. And truthfully, this is the case at the end of every month. So many projects remain unshared for one reason or another. And So I have decided to create a new series that I'm calling, End of the month randomness. Here I will share some behind the scenes, project fails, and some of my life moments. Let's get started! So you saw my porch right after I painted my front door, Right? But what I failed to share with you are those two black pots on the porch stoops. Before they were green and looked like this: Not bad, but they didn't go so well with the new door color and so I spray painted them in a flat black paint. But because they were already potted and I wasn't about to pull my plants out, I came up with this idea to cover the plants with grocery sack

Seasonal Simplicity Fall Home Tour 2017 [ Part 2 ]

And just like that, it's another season! Which means it's time for another Seasonal Simplicity Home Tour!! A big thank you to Krista, from The Happy Housie , and April, from House by Hoff , for hosting these fun tours every season.  And as always, you can find the full lineup of fabulous bloggers at the end of this post.

I know that my dining room doesn't necessarily scream "Fall", but as you look around the room you will find lots of subtle hints of it. One of my favorite spots to decorate for the changing seasons is this wall here that divides the living room from the dining room.  The antique wood shelf

Outdoor Fall Tablescape

One of my favorite things about fall is the weather.  The cooler weather always feels so nice after the scorching heat of  Summer, but yet it's not too cold to be able to enjoy the outdoors. There's also a crispness in the air and Fall just has a certain smell to it too that is all so welcoming.   When the lovely, Alicia, from A Burst of  Beautiful invited me to join her and some other blogging friends for a fall tablescape tour, I immediately said Yes, and I knew right away that I wanted to create an outdoor fall tablescpae to enjoy the weather and smells of fall with my friends and family. I also knew right away that I wanted to use copper in my tablescape.  Copper is so on trend right now and the warm color of copper pairs so well with the fall season.   I picked up some copper spray paint and used it to paint four metal coffee cans and six dollar store round pizza pans.  I wasn't sure how they would turn out, since the lid of the spray paint looked kinda pink and shin
