Sometimes craft projects don't work out. ⁣
⁣
But occasionally they can lead to something better. ⁣
⁣
This painted pumpkin does not look like I thought it would. Which is great because it looks so much better than it did with my original plan. ⁣
⁣
I fully intended to paint a pumpkin to add some fun fall decor to my home. But that didn't work. So I made a "deconstructed" painted pumpkin.⁣
⁣
I love deconstructed furniture so why couldn't I paint a deconstructed pumpkin?⁣
⁣
It's plaid. Or kind of plaid. Like deconstructed plaid.⁣
⁣
So what do you think?⁣
⁣
I learned a huge lesson from doing this project. If you are doing a craft project and it fails don't give up. It might just turn out amazing. ⁣
⁣
Head to my blog to see how to make this pumpkin. ⁣
⁣
If you aren’t a crafter then you might want to check out all of the pumpkins I found on Amazon Home. They are on the blog too. ⁣

Can I just say that I love the new fall decor in our kitchen?⁣
⁣
For some reason the kitchen is also staying cleaner. I am not sure why but I am going with it. ⁣
⁣
We have a fun night planned tonight. We will have a home cooked dinner and then the Laker playoff game. We have been staying home so much and we excited for something new to watch. A Laker playoff game is a big deal. The homecooked meals are nothing special. It feels like I have cooked at least a thousand meals in the last six months. ⁣
⁣
I just need to figure out what to cook. ⁣
⁣
That is always the problem. ⁣
⁣
I am still using Instacart since we still aren’t going out much. Are all of you going to the grocery store or are you having groceries delivered?⁣
⁣
Just curious. ⁣
⁣
If you want to see all of the photos of my newly decorated fall kitchen just head to my blog post. ⁣

I wanted to share another photo of our newly fall decorated dining room. ⁣
⁣
Almost all of the items here are from @AntiqueFarmHouse. And to be honest, I think this is one of the prettiest tables ever that I have set in this room!⁣
⁣
I love the copper accents in this room. From the bowl to the water pitcher to the copper handled flatware, I love every single thing!⁣
⁣
One item you can’t see is a wooden crate of old green bottles. Swipe to see it!⁣
⁣
I love the bottles in the crate and I cannot wait to take them out and create a centerpiece with all twelve. I think they will be fabulous for Christmas too!⁣
⁣
I mentioned yesterday that I am obsessed with these green vases. I can promise that you will see these in my house, in many different rooms, for a very long time. I just love them.⁣
⁣
I woke up this morning convinced it was Saturday. The weeks are still a bit smushed together since we are still at home. (I know, smushed is probably not a word but it fits perfectly when describing this year.)⁣
⁣
My new approach to this craziness is to treat everyday like the weekend. I have worked 7 days a week for as long as I can remember, but there is nothing like the feeling of a weekend!⁣
⁣
So happy Friday that feels like a Saturday.

Fall has finally arrived in our kitchen. ⁣
⁣
And can I just say this is my favorite decor in our kitchen ever?⁣
⁣
(Well, at least until I start decorating for Christmas!)⁣
⁣
My new kitchen decor is simple and doesn’t take up too much space. It’s pretty much faux branches from @amazonhome and fresh pumpkins. ⁣
⁣
Now that’s my kind of decor. Inexpensive but looks amazing. ⁣
⁣
Today on the blog I shared a gazillion photos of our kitchen, plus links to twenty more bloggers and their fall kitchen decor. ⁣
⁣
Which means you better head to to blog if you are looking for any fall decor ideas and inspiration. For any room!⁣

You guys!⁣
⁣
Look at my dining room. Isn’t this gorgeous?⁣
⁣
I teamed up with @antiquefarmhouse to create this gorgeous table!⁣
⁣
I found the green vases, the wreaths in the windows, the copper pitcher and bowl, the copper flatware, the napkins, and the wood chargers. ⁣
⁣
Almost everything you see here can be found on their site today so be sure to head to @antiquefarmhouse and check it out. ⁣
⁣
I think these three green vases are my favorite!⁣
⁣
I am also taking over their Instagram stories this morning. Be sure to go to @antiquefarmhouse anytime after 8am PST as I will be on their stories. ⁣
⁣
I am sharing a full tour of our dining room plus some of the items I have bought @antiquefarmhouse. ⁣
⁣
I hope you will join me for a very fun day!

Oh my goodness. What a day!⁣
⁣
I finished decorating three rooms in our home and took ... um ... a lot of photos. ⁣
I won’t tell you how many I took but it was over 100. Ok, it was over 200. ⁣
⁣
Which is utterly ridiculous since only about ten make it into a blog post. I might use twenty total photos of each room. Which if you do the math, then you know I took a few too many. Haha. ⁣
⁣
Perhaps now you know why I have over 120k photos in iCloud. ⁣
⁣
Since I am being totally honest, I need to tell you how hard it is to take three rooms of photos in the same day. Why?⁣
⁣
Well, I sometimes use props in the same rooms. Take pumpkins or florals. If you watch the next three days of my photos I am curious if you can see the duplicates that managed to travel from room to room. Feel free to call me out if you do. ⁣
⁣
The next problem is that there is usually some “stuff” in every room that shouldn’t be in a photo. Things like my laptop, or my bright pink nail buffer thing, or my bright aqua water bottle. ⁣
⁣
Today it felt as if I carried all of this “stuff” from one room to another and then back again. Like three times. ⁣
⁣
Tomorrow morning I am sharing my fall kitchen which looks pretty amazing. I am also sharing my dining room. ⁣
⁣
I will be sharing our family room in a few days with a pillow that I made that I am very proud of. More about that later. ⁣
⁣
So this photo is a sneak peek of our kitchen. (I should also will mention that if I don’t throw those heirloom tomatoes in a sauce pan for tomato sauce in the next fifteen minutes they will be past their prime.) ⁣
⁣
Gotta go! And I hope you don’t mind my honesty today. It’s just not all pretty pictures. I promise!
