Today is supposed to be when I share Week 2 of the One Room Challenge, but some things deserve more attention. We were hit pretty hard by Hurricane Matthew, and the record-breaking flooding that came after has completely devastated the area. Charles and I have been so lucky to not have any damage, but many others were not so fortunate.
Have y’all looked at Target lately? They are totally killing it! We’ve been on a spending diet lately to get rid of credit card debt, and it’s basically been torture every time I’ve been in there. I don’t think the temptation is worth the 50 cents I’m saving on milk. I digress.
Charles and I are hosting Thanksgiving at our house for the first time this year, and I am SO excited. We both have very small families, but we are planning to have about 12. It will be the first actual sit down meal we served for that many people, and I can’t wait!
I am thrilled to be a part of a pretty fabulous series hosted by Lauren Nicole Designs called Seasonal ‘Scapes Blog Challenge. Lauren has rounded up some pretty fantastic bloggers to share glimpses into their seasonal homes, whether it’s a table ‘scape, mantel ‘scape, coffee table ‘scape, or vanity ‘scape.
I have a confession to make. As much as I love fall, it’s been hard for me to get into it this year. It’s just been so hot. Last week it was still 85 degrees and super humid here, so pumpkins and mums just haven’t felt natural. Instead, I poured my seasonal decorating energy into making our dining room an ultra chic black and gold Halloween space!
It is FINALLY starting to feel slightly like fall around here, and I couldn’t be more excited! Those of you who know my know that I hate summer, but fall and winter are my favorites. So bring it on!
Today I thought I’d throw it back to one of my favorite fall trends last year: black and white. I feel pretty confident that this trend isn’t going away any time soon! Here we go…
Wow! It’s been a week! And it’s only Wednesday. I’ve been having technical difficulties over here, but I think I’ve just about got the kinks worked out. Thanks for sticking around!
Last week I told y’all about our recent visit to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville. I mentioned that, while beautiful, the estate tour was pretty crowded, which made good photos pretty much impossible. So instead, I decided to point the camera iPhone up.
