My Favorite Fall Finds from Amazon

October 8, 2018 by Fotini Filed Under: fall, home decor 1 Comment

Today I wanted to share with you, my favorite fall finds from Amazon! Back when I was regularly blogging about home decor & decorating frequently, I would frequent my favorite stores weekly. Now days, I’m lucky if I make it to the grocery store. At times like that, I appreciate online shopping from places like Amazon! These are neutral pieces that are sure to fit into your farmhouse home decor perfectly!

The weather here in Ohio went from the 90’s one day, to literally the 60’s the next! A typical Ohioan would say, “welcome to Ohio”. I’m not complaining one bit about the dropping temps! I am SO ready for the crisp temps that come with the changing season. The changing of the season’s has me eager to decorate the inside of my home to cozy, romantic comfort!

One of my favorite things to do each evening is light candles! Not only for the scent, but because it creates such a relaxing atmosphere. Our living room is where we spend most of our time in the evenings, so lighting some candles on the mantel after dinner, cozying up on the couch & watching our favorite shows is something I look forward to every day! You could also say I’m pretty cheesy in the sense of, every Fall it’s time to break out our favorite annual Halloween movies! Movies like Casper, Hocus Pocus & The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown ☺️

Incorporating neutral tones is one of the simplest ways to change the decor during the season. For example, if you want to start with this neutral design, then add in some spooky details for Halloween and then simply transition into Thanksgiving decor. You can do so, so easily using these staple decor pieces!

What is your favorite way to bring Fall into your home each season? Do you have traditions that you tend to follow each year when it comes to decorating or incorporating certain pieces?

I would love to hear your remarks! Thanks so much for stopping by & shopping a little bit with me today! I hope to see you back here again soon!

Simple, Early Fall Mantel

September 25, 2017 by Fotini Filed Under: fall

I’m not going to lie… I decorated this mantel mid August! Once the kids were back in school, I found myself with a little more down-time and decided it get a head start on my decorating! I have to say, I’m glad that I did. We are super busy preparing for barn shows we have coming up, AND if you didn’t see via Instagram or Facebook, our barn was delivered last week so we are busy working on that anytime we can! I will share more info about our storefront in another post soon!

I wanted to keep my early Fall mantel, simple at first! It’s always easy to go back and add little pumpkins, fresh greenery and such. As you know, I love using fresh greenery, but I found some beautiful, faux stems that don’t look “fake”. I don’t like the ones that you look at and automatically know they’re not real. So, I added those cute little stems to this mantel design.

And as always, my trusty go-to antique books never disappoint! They are the easiest way to add instant character to my designs. Throw in some candles and tea lights and you’re good to go!

This sweet mantel design will be getting a face-lift soon with some sweet baby boo pumpkins!

It was a pleasure to have you here today!

See you next time 🙂

Homemade Apple Butter

September 18, 2017 by Fotini Filed Under: fall, recipes

A tradition my little ones and I love each year is going apple picking! We head to the local apple orchard and pick our own apples right off the tree! Seeing the smiles on their little faces as they find the perfect apples, is priceless! Not to mention, I get to make some awfully tasty goodies with them! One specific request I had from my 11-year old son was to make apple butter!

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have saw my Instastories where I shared the process of making homemade apple butter. If not, you’re in luck because I wanted to share this simple, 2- ingredient recipe! Ya’ll, it’s only 2 ingredients! You can’t get any better than that!
