Week 8: Entryway + Fall Decor

Holy crap.  It's been wayyy to long since I posted about our home updates! Even though I haven't been posting,  I have been updating.  I got a rug for the living room, went through the spring and summer seasons dressing the house up, and finally have finished the entryway and almost finished with the way I want it to look.  Thanks to my dad, the mirror is actually hanging on the wall instead of sitting on the piano.  The bat is just there while the mantle is being used with all the fall decoration.

 I put the B up on the wall next to the front door.  I think I am going to paint it, but haven't decided on the color yet.

The table has a little fall decor as well! I found these cute little pumpkins on the way out of Marshalls when I was about to pay.  I swear they get ya when you are walking thru the checkout line! And they were only $6.99! I was given the table runner as a wedding present last year and I think it really brings the fall season into the house!

 I found the perfect frame for my print from The Burlap Bungalow that I won on a give-a-way that the lovely Elise did a while back! Doesn't it look so good in the frame next to the lamp shade?!

 And gotta love the Haloween "trick or treat" bunting that I made for the mantle! You can't really tell, but the fabric is spiderwebs! 

How did y'all decorate for the fall?! Hope you all are having a fabulous week!! 

Crispness in the Air /// Pinterest Inspiration

Pumpkin spice latte. Boots and scarves. Daylight Saving Time. 

Something about these things really make you think fall time.  I must confess, I have yet to try a pumpkin spice latte, but I am excited for what this fall season has to bring.  Something about the fall time really makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.  Maybe because the weather is just perfect or maybe because it means (most of the time) that my hubby is home for the season.  Although he went to Arizona on Sunday, the fall season is when we get to spend quality family time with each other and with our parents.  House projects get finished and Stryker gets to go on walks again because I can always dig a walk wearing a sweatshirt and a scarf!

Clearly with the start of fall, Pinterest has been on fall decor/outfit overload.  Here are a few things I am looking forward to for inspiration and maybe some outfit purchases!

I am loving the use of the cinnamon sticks.  It would add a delicious smell as well as a perfect decor piece for the mason jars I have left over from spring/summer decor!

Another great idea for the beauty of a mason jar.  I feel like mason jar is like monogramming - you can never have too much of it! 

 

The pinecones just add a touch of outdoorsiness (is that a word?) to the table without being woodsy.  I love the use of the wood bowl as well.

 I am so in love with these boots, but I am not 100% sure I know how to pull them off.  What do I wear them to work with if I can't wear jeans?! HELP A SISTA OUT! And this baseball tee is right up my alley.

Vests. Enough said.  I am digging the vests. Everyone needs a good vest and the one I have right now is a little too puffy to wear as an every day vest.

What are you swooning over this fall?
