Welcome, welcome WELCOME! After months and months of empty promises (we really tried, I promise!) I am finally ready to open our front door and let you take a peek into our new 1920’s American Foursquare home with Craftsman Bungalow elements! Oh boy are we loving it! Although it is bittersweet to leave the yellow brick home, we have no regrets! I had really hoped to have things “finished” in time for fall and had planned for this to be the great reveal post, but there is STILL so much to do. We only moved in about three weeks ago and as you can imagine there are still unpacked boxes and totes everywhere! Nevertheless I decided to go ahead and give you a little “PREveal” of some of the foyer and living room with snippets from upcoming posts where I will show the spaces and decor in more detail.
Hello friends and happy “almost fall!” We are settled into our new house, although we didn’t get everything finished before moving in. There’s still so much work left on the kitchen, sun room, dining room and master bath, but the living room is almost completely finished with the exceptions of some decorative items and kitchen is useable and coming together.
There are still too many messes of power tools and building supplies everywhere to take really great room pics, but I thought I would share a simple early fall styled baket tray in the corner of our kitchen.
Our new home is sooo sunny and bright, with a warm gold tint most of the day. I have been very influenced by rust colors, caramel, buttery yellow and gold as I have been decorating. I loved these gold faux branches I found at Joann which sort of inspired this simple fall corner tray. I already had the mustard gold yellow velvet pumpkin
In the living room I am using a yellow velvet pumpkin pillow that I haven’t used for a few years, so it feels fresh and new in this new space and on the new chair.
The rest of the basket has some kitchen items that may stay out most of the time, including some of my favorite herb books, wicker covered demi-johns and my favorite large green demi-john. Of course there is ironstone and transfeware.
We havent’e decided on a backsplash yet which is one of the main hold ups in the kitchen. For now I am adding interest with some pretty trays, like this recently thrifted tole tray in the color palate I am loving right now.
On the opposite side of the counter I have stacked some of the blue transferware dishes that will be on display in glass front cabinets that we hope to finish up before Thanksgiving at least. For now I am enjoying the bright blue just on the counter, especially with a green apple for early fall.
The living room is mostly ready for fall and a reveal. I am just waiting on some curtains and trying to make a decision on a new mantel mirror. I will be participating in the fall home tours next Friday and I plan to do a living room tour then!
How is your fall decorating coming along? I love hearing from you!
Thanks for visiting today!

Hello friends! I am happy to share that our new house is coming along! I know you have been interested in seeing how things are turning out, but I have been so swamped with real life renovations that it has been hard to take the time for weekly update posts. I did however snap some pictures on my phone recently to share a short post from the last two weeks’ kitchen and dining room progress. They aren’t the most “bloggy” pictures, but I am excited for you to see some “befores,” and I didn’t want to keep you waiting!
A beautiful Sunroom has been on my dream home list for many years, and the sunroom at our new home was truly one of the selling points when we were trying to make the decision to move. The picture below is the sunroom in progress, after we had already ripped up the old carpet and started priming the red brick throughout the room.
Hey friends! We are just about six weeks away from moving into our new home and soon I will be able to open the front door to my foyer and share a virtual tour! I am so excited about our foyer since it was the room that literally drew me inside when peeking in through the door at an estate sale. Ever since we signed the contract on the home back in October, I have been on the hunt for a round entry table for our open foyer. This weekend I finally scored the perfect table at a favorite consignment shop! *This post contains affiliate links.
It’s the time of year once again when we start thinking about cozying up our homes for fall, but it’s still 100 degrees and sunny outside! If you are unsure how to decorate during August and September, think “Simple Sunflowers!” They are the quintessential transitional flower that will brighten up any area indoors or out from now through Thanksgiving!
Hello friends! I hope you are enjoying the beauty of late August wherever you are! Summer is winding down and fall is just around the corner. Sunflowers are putting on a lovely show right now in Kentucky, they and will be in bloom for a few more weeks as we slowly transition into autumn. I have always loved how these bright and cheerful flowers take us from summer-to-fall in the garden and home decor. With that in mind, today I am sharing some beautiful ideas for summer-to fall decorating with sunflowers. *This post contains affiliate links.
Hello friends! I wanted to give you a quick update of the dining room. After months and months and a couple of wrong colors, I have finially found the perfect wall color and the room is really coming together! Here a photo of the walls before I repainted them for a second time. This post contains affiliate links.
