Mini Fall Tour

Today feels a bit more like fall than I had all week, which made me realize I haven’t shared my Thanksgiving/Fall decor.  I tell ya, the older the kids get the busier I get as mom.  But I'm also so thankful that I've been able to be home with them.  So here is a mini tour!

 

I picked up this 'Count Your Blessings' sign at Hobby Lobby a couple years ago and I think it's one of my favorite Thanksgiving decor pieces I have.  

Changed out the flowers on the top of the piano for sunflowers.This year I'm loving sunflowers for fall.

Still love my antique wooden pumpkin. 

The china hutch as a slightly different look this year.  Ever feel like you need a change in your house.  Lately that is how I've been feeling.  Yet time hasn't really allowed me to do any big changes in the house.

We did upgrade the girls to bunk beds.  Figured for Kezia's 6th birthday it might be time to get her a big girl bed and out of her crib/toddler bed.  It was the ONE thing she asked for her birthday! 

Coming next week...her Minecraft Birthday Party!

Fall Tour 2017

It's super warm here today with a high of 90 and high humidity but, fall is one of my favorite times of the year.  Maybe it's because my birthday is in the fall, or the garden is about done, lawn care slows down, or maybe it's just more of a normal schedule then our summer.  All in all it's my favorite time of the year to decorate the house.  Kezia and I went shopping at Hobby Lobby earlier in the week for a few new fun fall decorations.

New Sign on the China Hutch

Finally found a sign for above the stove, just need to hang it yet!

Being my kitchen is overflowing with 'HARVEST'

I felt like the 'Harvest Blessing' sign was fitting.

Fresh flowers always brightens my day!!!!!

This Old House: Mini Remodel

This Old House Edition:  Mini Kitchen Redmodel

So this has been a work on process for a LONG time!  Adding more cabinets, fixing a wall, painting, etc.  We still have a bit more to do but here is what we did this week.

What we had hoped was a simple fix of crumbling plaster 

by putting a couple sheets of paneling over...

Turned into this!!!!!

Thankfully I have a VERY handy hubby and he knew how to fix it.

Off came all the plaster and on went the paneling.

Yes, my fridge sat in the middle of the kitchen floor for a few days.  

Blocked the dishwasher.  Plaster dust ALL over the house.  

I ended up not feeling well a couple days but....

Here is the finished project!

So much brighter!  And fits our Old Farmhouse

Since I was already in a mess and moving things around.

I also moved our dining room table.

This Old House: More on Fall House Tour

Keeping It Real!!!!

It's been a rough month with a bunch of trips for me.  And when that happens my house suffers.  I had to share my house the same day I took my fall tour house pictures!  What I want to remember is the first post but I also want other mom's to know, we are all human...

Some areas might look perfect, others might be covered in dust, laundry (clean or dirty), some days the house might look great, other days not so much.  It's okay....You've got this mom!!!!
