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!
