Here’s a little fall scene from #thetrailhousereno a couple of years ago. I’ll be headed home tomorrow to put the finishing touches on my fall styling in preparation for my Fall Home Tour next Friday!

See those fall leaf prints in the reflection of the mirror? All four are available for a Free download through the link in the bio.

Going back a little for today’s #transformationt

Going back a little for today’s #transformationtuesday. In our previous kitchen, we made a few key modifications to give it an updated look without a complete remodel. Added a new, larger island with a reclaimed barn wood top, a modern farmhouse sink, new lighting and a dynamic backsplash. ⠀
⠀
If you’ve been watching my Stories over the last few days, I’ve been lending my skills to help update a farmhouse kitchen. Before the kitchen cabinets get pained, we are adding a large hood to replace the over the range microwave. ⠀
⠀
Here, we just bumped the cabinet over the range up to break up the straight line of the cabinets and add a little height. Proof that a series of small changes can make a big difference.⠀
⠀
Link in the bio for the first reveal of this kitchen. (The island was a different color back then, but that blog post breaks down everything we did to update the kitchen.)⠀

I love trying to find a way to decorate for fall outside the traditional warm color palette, ⠀
mostly because I love a cooler palette in my homes. A few years ago I experimented with a “fresh fall” look. This may seem a little out of place to some but when you live in the south fall color often doesn’t arrive until late October. What about where you live?⠀
⠀
If you want to create this super versatile, easy to build wooden trough, check the link in the bio. While there is an angle, it’s simple cuts that I walk you through in a step by step tutorial Link in the bio.⠀

Layers. I am always drawn to styling that includes layers of new and thrifted art, antiques, books, bowls and sentimental pieces. Throw a little DIY makeover of old vases for good measure and I think you’ve got a winning recipe.

I am still over the moon for this buffet in the foyer. Missed how to refresh an antique without refinishing, check out the link in the bio for the tutorial. It’s a good one!

The best way to add instant charm and character to

The best way to add instant charm and character to any space is to layer in vintage and antique finds. My favorites are usually vintage planters, art, brass accents or old books. It definitely takes time to curate these accessories, but that is why I love shopping @vintagemarketdaysofbhammetro ! So many amazing vendors are gathered under one roof for you a fun day of shopping. This fall's Vintage Market Days is happening September 24th- 26. I am giving away two tickets to one lucky winner. But you can also order your tickets in advance for contactless ticket pickup. All vendors and hosts are promising a safe shopping experience. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Follow, leave a comment on what type of vintage item you hope to find and tag the friend you would take with you if you win! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The winner will be selected on Thursday at 5 pm and will be notified via DM. This giveaway is in no way affiliated with Instagram. ⁠⠀

Thank you, Instagram for sharing my memories with

Thank you, Instagram for sharing my memories with me. This photo of our front porch from the #TrailHouseReno is one of my favorites. It might have something to do with our beloved Tucker on the front porch. Miss him and decorating the steps!⁠
⁠
Hope you are having an amazing weekend. We finally have tolerable weather here. I can feel fall coming....⁠

Landscaping is a wise investment in time and money

Landscaping is a wise investment in time and money. One that we have never regretted. Swipe to see our shaded patio plantings at #theTrailHouseReno in our listing photos! The evergreens and perennials from @southernlivingplants (previous partner) were beautiful from day one, but I loved witnessing their growth and cycle of blooms from season to season.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
If you check my Stories today, I shared our latest landscaping project. This one is very different. We were creating a full sun, privacy garden. Look for more details in an upcoming blog post!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
LInk in the bio for a full description of each plant in our patio oasis shade garden.⁠⠀

After a teaser a few weeks ago, I finally shared the hints of color I plan to incorporate into my home for fall on Stories. In case you didn't catch it, it is the color purple! Or I guess if I was a little fancier I might say, amethyst or plum. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
While it's been a challenge to find a few pieces to pull this off for fall, you know I love a challenge! I am thrilled with how this color works with my existing decor when other traditional colors like rust, orange, or even brown just weren't working. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The plan is to remain fairly minimal but to add enough warmth and hints of fall to make it all the way through Thanksgiving. Whoa, did I just say Thanksgiving? I don't think I'm really ready to think that far in advance, are you? ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So what do you think? Could you add purple to your decor for fall?⁠⠀Did you catch the Fall Instagram hop I did with @thefrugalhomemaker @worthingcourtblog @athomeinthewildwood ? They shared some great Fall inspiration!! Go check them out!

Never underestimate the power of window treatments

Never underestimate the power of window treatments in a room. They can make a dramatic statement or they can play that ever-important supporting actress role, much like my drapery does in the living room. But pull them away and the room feels very unfinished. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
In Stories today, I shared about my upcoming plans for drapery panels in our main bathroom. This time, the panels will make a dramatic appearance in addition to injecting a softness to the hard lines of the bathroom. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
#ad Drapes are an investment worth making so creating them during a sale event is always a good idea. From now until September 26th @calicocorners is having their Semi-Annual Sale. In my Stories today, I take you on a little field trip to my local store too!⁠⠀
