Free Autumn Printable

I am so excited to be entering the season of fall!  I absolutely love everything that comes along with Autumn -  from the crunchy leaves, to the changing colors, to the celebration of Thanksgiving and our wedding anniversary... :)  It is my favorite season!

I recently made a printable of some festive activities that I hope to enjoy with my husband this season.  I like to just display it on the refrigerator and as the activities are completed they are crossed off with a dry erase marker so that it can be used again next season.  You also could put it in a frame!

If you would like to have a digital copy of this Autumn To Do List please visit my Etsy store and message me mentioning this blog post and I will email you both a jpeg and PDF copy to be printed and displayed in your home.  But make sure you message me before 12:00PM on Friday, September 20th.  After that time you will still be able to have your own copy but you will have to purchase it through my shop's listing for $1.95.

Enjoy and Happy Fall!! :)

House Tour|Living Room & Kitchen

 Jack and I have been married ten wonderful months.  We have settled in quite nicely but I have put off doing a house tour until it was 100% decorated, remodeled and perfect.  I have of recent come to the conclusion that I will never be done decorating, or doing pinterest inspired projects.  As I type I am looking at 3 vintage suitcases I was given that have yet to find a place in my house.  I have several ideas, just have to choose one... :)

All of that to say, I am going to go on ahead with our house tour.  To you it may just look like a small house with several imperfections, but to me it is the most beautiful house in the world because it is shared with Jack.  I am sure some day we will look back on our first place and recall it's defects and lack of closets, but for now I will keep on my rose colored glasses and proudly show you our little nest!

Our living room and kitchen is in one big room since before we were married it served as Jack's photography studio.  Jack had painted, trimmed, and floored it before we were even dating and I love his work!  We were able to pick out the cabinets, counter-tops, and hardware together and my uber handy husband installed them all by himself!

 This was the view as you walk in the front door... (a year ago) 

and now this is the view...

Let's start with a close up of the living room

vs.

As you can see, there have been a few changes...

Starting with client canvases coming off the wall. ;)

One of the first things we did was paint the legs of the existing coffee table black.

You will see throughout our house that very often I like to paint the legs/base of furniture black...

Most of our decorations were either wedding gifts, garage sale finds repainted or things I had bought and stored from Celebrating Home throughout my single years.

Moving onto the kitchen...

 to...

 I love cooking in this little space!

Because of our lack of cabinets Jack built me this handy-dandy pull out next to the fridge...

 

So very handy!!

I love open shelving and someday when we have a larger kitchen we plan on having lots of that, but for now Jack was kind enough to build and paint me my own two shelves to display fun things. :)

 This rolling island serves its purpose very well and adds another 'counter space' 

for me to meal prep on.  It was a $15 garage sale find that my dad painted the base black.

And of course we can't forget about the life size chalkboard that we made

using mdf board and framing with trim.

Hope you enjoyed Part One of our House Tour.  Stay tuned for the hallway|bedroom tour next! :)
