Fall Decor (I'm Back!)

I'll spare you the speech about how I've been super busy with life, so blogging took a back seat...you can see what I've been up to on Instagram. Basically a lot of working, running, softball, family, and friends. Just know that I'm back!

Now that we're past that, I want to share our fall decor with you. Summer is definitely my favorite season as far as weather goes, but fall is probably my favorite to decorate for. So here's a little peak at our home all ready for fall:

I just love all of the pumpkins and mums--so pretty! What's your favorite season or holiday to decorate for?

Living Room Style

We are slowly, but surely making our house a home.  This month marks three years since we bought and moved in to our first house.  We LOVE our house, but it has taken sooooo much longer than I imagined to get things how we want them (or should I say how I want them...my husband is fine with whatever).  We've painted a few rooms and done some little projects here and there, but I still have so much I want to do.  I mean, it took me nearly three years to finally fill the blank wall above the TV with this DIY Starburst Mirror!


The room we spend the most time in is our living room.  I have so many things I want to do in this room including paint, curtains, a new rug, and new furniture.  New furniture will be a big expense, so that probably won't happen soon, but I do want to keep that in mind when decorating the rest of the room, so that the furniture will fit with the rest of the room's style.

I recently found out about the site called Chairish, which is an exclusive curator approved, online marketplace for vintage furniture.  Our living room is small, so there is not a lot of room for big pieces, but we do want to enough seating for when we have people over.  I would love to find a fun chair that fits in out living room better than the one we currently have.  That's where Chairish comes in.  They have so many great, fun chairs to choose from!  I had a hard picking one to incorporate in my living room style board, but I did it :)  Here is what I am thinking for our living room:


Living Room Inspiration


I want something light and comfortable, with little pops of color here and there.   It's so hard for me to make up on my mind on things I want in a room, especially big pieces.  I'm hoping to slowly pull it all together over the next year or so, since I finally think I know what my "style" is.

Is decorating your home a long process for you too?  Or does it come easy for you?  If it comes easy for you, tell me your secrets!! :)
