Fall House Tour

Fall is my favorite season! I can't get enough of anything with pumpkin in it and all the fall colors make me so happy. The air is starting to get crisp and our outdoor entertaining may be coming to an end but it still is my favorite time to set out an outdoor table. I gather cuttings from my garden to go along with beautiful sunflowers purchased from our local farmers market to create a simple table setting. Drop cloths and burlap are my favorite go to for instant tablecloths. A mix of chairs and a few vintage pieces make it a simple gathering for friends.

Decorating inside is always just as important as decorating outside for me so I like to change things up each season. Using vintage pieces I have with simple fall decor. I love to bring outdoor elements in using sugar pine cones and acorns. Mixing vintage with new and always a touch of sparkle.

 

May this fall bring you many blessings

 

Tour Our Home for the Holidays

We are so excited this year because a top magazine came to shoot our house! It was such an honor and as soon as we can reveal we will. For now enjoy a tour of some of our decorations. Ava Rose and I enjoyed decorating each room. Our wonderful friend Dawn from Hydrangea Home helped put on all the finishing touches as well as create our favorite Welcome to Rose Cottage sign. Nancy, for those that know her from the store and from living locally helped us dress up the outside with lots of greenery and wonderful ideas. It was so great to work with such talented women. I feel honored and blessed.  Not every year has been easy with the ups and downs of life but this year we are making it special and enjoying every single day. Beyond the decorations and shopping we are enjoying friends and family. Ava Rose and I are watching old movies, baking and just keeping to old traditions. I like to savor each day. It is so easy being in retail to make this season flash right by but not this year. This year I am slowing down and enjoying every moment. Ava Rose's 1st school play was so great as well as her first big school trip to see Frosty the Snowman, her fun crazy Christmas sweater day was today. This weekend we are going to try ice skating. Life truly does go by so fast. The only way I learned to slow it down is live for the day and make each day a little fun. I hope this holiday season no matter where you are, and no matter how you decorate and celebrate you are blessed as well. You can tour our home and projects on our website.
