Happy Fall! Yep, it’s the first day of Fall and that just makes me SO HAPPY and I’m itching to share my Autumn porch details! Time to embrace all the mums, pumpkins and PSL with no shame!

Transitioning Late Summer to Fall
Fall decor is calling me. Truly! It’s not even mid August but my heart craves COZY! It’s okay to blend Summer-y cozy into your home to begin the transition to those autumn tones. Slowly add deeper neutrals. Thats what I did with these vintage mannequins and old paint brushes. Just adding these darker items brought a warmth that’s not out of season, yet will blend nicely into fall. It also brought a bit of cozy to the entire living space. Throw in yellow. Although I’m typically a mostly neutral gal, during the Fall I love to decorate with color. Who doesn’t love those rich autumn tones inspired by nature, right??…

Fiesta Party Ideas
Tacos make anything fun! Besides preordering the cake and topper, I threw this party in less than a day and it was extremely budget friendly. My dad turned 50 and asked for salsa at my house to celebrate. Tacos are cheap. All you need is a little party decor, food and friends/family. As far as decor I made festive colorful strips across the table using a cheese cloth runner and paper streamers. BTW – paper streamers are LIFE. Next, I got clever and put a few sombrero hats on wood candle holders to add height to the table. I added some cake plates to anchor the look and to place the cake…

If I could only buy 3 items from the Nordstrom Sale – Top 3 picks!

Pancake Party for 3!
Weekend brunch, anyone? We had my little sister Kelbee last weekend so we treated her to a nice little pancake party. Pancakes are so fun to serve because everyone can garnish them however they’d like and they can be so pretty! It’s easy to make something that’s usually ordinary into something exciting! Even my 28 year old husband was looking forward to this colorful brunch. All it takes is adding a few extras and displaying it nicely! Grab the fresh strawberries and pour the orange juice into a cute pitcher. We like options! Syrup, strawberry syrup and local to Alabama Golden Eagle syrup were poured into glass cups. Strawberries and…

If you’re coming from Kaycie’s blog Grey Birch Designs, I’m happy to have you here! Summer is in the air! I had so much fun putting together this summertime tablescape! Grab a friend, make a glass of lemonade and I’ll tell ya about it! My inspiration for this tablescape was light french style linens, warm tones and bright fruit! First things first, placemats!

Added cute gold straws to my glasses and BAM I have the table necessities! Next, the centerpiece! I came up with this classic idea…

Showing Real Life While Growing an Instagram
I recently realized the key to making my photos look like our actual home. Yep, ACTUAL home. Because we do live here! It’s all in the little details, friends. Bread, candles and animals. Do you ever wonder what sets some photos apart from others? I did for quite a while. It’s when the photo/space looks live-able. Y’all, there’s a reason magazines pour lemonade in fancy glasses for their photoshoots. That glass of lemonade makes us feel like we could sit for a spell and enjoy life on someone else’s porch. Placing food in a dining room or in kitchen is a perfect example of this! Some of my highest performing photos…

Time – it took us a weekend. Q –…

3 Tips for being a GIRL BOSS
For years people didn’t take my hustle seriously. I set a few guidelines for myself so I would take myself seriously. Instead of focusing on the negativity, I decided to respect the hustle. Skip the unvalued opinions. From the moment I began my side hustle, total strangers would freely give their opinion about my pricing. Deep down, I knew what I was doing and went with my gut. Good thing I did because my low prices are what grabbed attention and built my now local customer base. People will always give their opinion about your business. Learn to skip it, brush it off, and listen to the trusted opinions only.…
