Enough said. 🙂
I like your easy simple fall decor! Yesterday I harvested Indian corn that I don't remember planting.... so I guess I will decorate with that since it's what I have! My pumpkin plant isn't doing as well.... oh, if only I could grow velvet pumpkins! 😂
Hey, KariAnne! Suzi Wollman here. I am a faithful follower with a question for you. I love your look. My husband, little dog and I are leaving Texas and moving to Colorado. We have purchased a tiny townhouse (1350 sq ft) and are downsizing our Texas townhouse. I love the new place! Soft, warm white paint on all the walls and wood laminate floors in the kitchen, living room and dining nook as well as the hallway. It is a split bedroom plan with two small bedrooms on one side of the house and the master on the other. The bedrooms are all carpeted. The two small ones will become my art studio and my husband's office. I will replace the flooring in the studio (carpet and paint don't go well together). So my question is, any decorating tips to maintain the modern farmhouse look in a small space?
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE PUMPKINS ALONG THE STAIRS!!!!!!!!! DOING THAT TODAY!!!!! XO, Julie
Everything looks so festive!! Still hanging on to summer here in Massachusetts as long as I possibly can!!! xoxo
You are so good at creating, I love it all. I also love seeing your pretty home, it is such a wonderful older home with such a great staircase.
Had to share your pumpkins on the stairs with my DIL. They have 5 kiddos and they could do as a fall decor project.
Wood stairs with a carpet runner is on my future DIY plans. Your pumpkins look so sweet on yours. Love some bittersweet twining along the mirrors too! My house is beginning to look like fall but I'd like it to smell like fall ...ya know....warm and cozy! I do love the wax melters from 1803? I believe BUT safety says I can't leave those on all the time and gee the cost!! Candles are great if you can watch over them but is there anything you or your friends have found..some certain potpourri or safe sprays.. I worry about my dogs safety and toxicity as they love the couch...I can't put an apple pie in the oven every day:) I've tried oils too on my light bulbs...does work but have to reapply often. Diffusers that use oils seem to not spew fragrance around as much as I wish. Just thought maybe if you've found anything better? I'm working on making the pine cone/acorn branches what a great simple idea!! Happy Fall!!!
I love the simple Elegance of your Fall decor. So pretty, my friend.
Ordered the wood slices and branches, hope to get them soon. Thanks for always showing the links for ordering. Such a help. Love all your ideas just wish I had more space to decorate to use them all. Blessings,
Good thing the questions are unlimited……otherwise I’d would have ma Ed out long ago! Please don’t ever quit blogging!!! I’d be lost without your help, ideas, and most of al…..just reading what you write! THANK YOU❤️
Karianne, Our taste is so similar with mine being just a little more touch of rustic! You have inspired me to start collecting pumpkins like yours which I started 2 weeks ago. It is like a treasure hunt whenever I am shopping online are out in the stores. Already have my Fall out since it is 45 degrees and a foggy misty morning here in Northern Colorado! LOL...we went from 92 degrees to 45 degrees in 12 hours!! Not complaining since Fall & Winter are my favorite seasons. I also found the two tall Rabbits that you display in the Spring & Summer! Keep sharing those wonderful decorating & craft ideas coming! You are so inspiring, warm, joyful and utterly contagious when you laugh and get excited over your shopping sprees on Wednesdays.
Oh KariAnne, I really wish you were closer to Benbrook because I need fresh eyes! Did you ever see the show where folks would come into your home and just use your stuff? I just enjoyed seeing how fresh eyes could redecorate with the stuff you loved and breathed new life! I just enjoy your life thoughts and creative spirit! Smiles, alice
So pretty ... but now I'm really curious about your pancakes!
Karianne, Your entryway looks great and is in keeping with my idea to simplify my fall decorating. I love bittersweet and used to harvest fresh but now have faux I can reuse every year. ? I have the exact same chest as you have in your entryway. Do you have a little secret drawer on the front and do you have the keys to lock the drawers? I left mine it's original oak and use it in our bedroom to hold linens and a tray on top for my perfume and a pretty stained glass Tiffany type lamp. Bought the chest at a thrift store in upstate,N.Y 35 yrs ago. Just love it.
Your home always looks so beautiful and so loved, the key ingredient I think. I must say thankyou for always sharing and always making everyone that is lucky enough to find your blog feel grateful to be part of it all.
KariAnne, Your entry is just stunning in any season but I love the pops of orange. I'm sharing on Sunday's Dirt Road Adventures.
KariAnne, I love how you tucked the bittersweet stems behind the mirrors on your stairs. I love Fall!
Hello! You mention "Happy" a lot and I just had to smile when I looked at your photos today...if you look at the one that shows the white chest in your entry, and look real close...you will see that it is a very happy chest as..it is smiling! The knobs are the eyes and the drawer pulls are the mouths...I smile each time I look at that happy little chest! Thanks too for all the super ideas for Fall....
