Happy Harvest!

Around the House~Summer edition :)

I love to decorate our home with seasonal things, and Hubbie doesn't mind a bit! I have probably mentioned that a time or two on this blog! :) Using things I already own is fun...but when someone gives me a decoration, it is so enjoyable to me to find the "perfect spot" for it! When I decorate for Memorial Day and Fourth of July, I usually leave those things out until Labor Day. Here are just a few pictures from around our home this summer...Enjoy!

Wordless Wednesday~around the house

Good morning! For those of you who guessed that the picture from yesterday was of patio cushions, you are right! :)

I love Americana decorations and our family room reflects that love. Here are a few pictures to browse...Any suggestions on wall color? I hope you have a happy Wednesday!

It's Finished!!!

Hubbie and I recently finished updating our kitchen. We had painted the plain, white walls a delicious green (Benjamin Moore~Louisburg Green). Oh, I just love coming into the kitchen...it makes me smile! The trim work was done in Benjamin Moore~Monterey White.

New light fixtures are up, new knobs are on the cabinets, (I wrote about the knobs here) and the project is complete! Here are a few pictures of our new curtains. In the first picture, you can see one of the new lights...The other lights in the kitchen are of similar design. Now, if I could just get inspired with my cooking... :)

The new look above the kitchen sink...

Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!

Around the House...A Touch of Autumn

Happy Wednesday! Even though the date says it is Tuesday...cannot figure out how to change that!

Enjoy this look around our house for some more of our autumn/Thanksgiving decorations. I love this season! ;) Have a great day!

The Country House

I absolutely love to decorate for the seasons! My husband's stepmom got me started on seasonal decorating some years back. :) Autumn is one of my favorite seasons...there are so many rich, earthy colors.

One of my favorite places to shop is at The Country House. (For some reason, I cannot get the "insert link" to work right. If you google "the country house", their website will come up.) I think it is the largest craft store on the East Coast, and whenever I am in that area, I always stop in for a visit. If you ever get a chance to visit there, it is worth your time!

Here are a few treasures I found for this fall.




This beautiful berry wreath and Kandy Korn candle look so festive on our table. I also have place mats, napkins, and curtains to match the table runner. :)



This is some primitive candy corn and a wooden candy corn that I have in the living room. I think it is so cute!

I normally leave up the autumn things through November so that I don't have a lot of redecorating to do for Thanksgiving. Have you finished your autumn decorating?

Have a great Tuesday!
