Fall at Kirklands

Happy First Day of Fall! 

Alright, so maybe it's not the official first day of Fall... but September 1st has become the unofficial first day and I am here for it! I'm even guilty of putting out some of my pumpkins two days ago. I was going to wait until Labor Day weekend but I let my excitement get the best of me. 

Naturally, I've been window shopping on every home decor store website I know of looking for what my next purchase is going to be. I do have some fun stuff coming this week that I can't wait to share. But in the meantime I'm sharing some things I found at one of my favorite stores - Kirklands! Let me know on my Instagram post if you bought anything!

Friday Favorites

TGIF! Happy Friday friends! I hope your week flew by... I know mine did! Which is a great thing because I have some fun Christmas things planned for this weekend. Can you believe Christmas is only 10 days away!! Is it me or did it come up on us fast this year? I always say I'm going to start my Christmas shopping in October so that I don't wait until last minute... and I failed myself again... I started my Christmas shopping this week. Ugh! Please tell me I'm not the only one... **Ahem...this is where you tell me I'm not the only one and you are the same way**

Anyway, this weeks Favorite Friday post has to do with my favorite home decor bloggers. They are basically the reason I started a blog of my own. Not that mine comes close to what they can do... these people are AMAZING at decorating their homes and I steal so many ideas from them to decorate my own home. 

Really, to become a successful home decor blogger, you have to have a big, new or renovated home, a husband who can build anything for you, and no budget... haha at least that's what it seems like! I'm just kidding, but I swear, most bloggers I follow have that!

Believe or not, my fiancé is the one who found Liz Marie's blog. We had been researching ideas for a house project and whatever he googled, came up with Liz Marie's blog! When he sent me the link I was so amazed by her decor. It's very rustic and farmhouse and a little outside of my design realm, but I absolutely love watching what she does with her home. Her and her husband recently bought a farmhouse and have been renovating it like crazy. It's so beautiful! They have been adding some farm animals and her goats are adorable! I seriously want a goat so bad... **hint hint Aaron**

I put Nelly and Jessica together because they are best friends and neighbors and they are ahhhhhmazing! Nelly has a blog and Jessica just uses Instagram and I can't get enough of the way they decorate their homes. Give them both a follow on Instagram and they won't disappoint. The picture above is from Nelly's living room and it gives me all the feels! I love the double Christmas tree look and the German schmear on her fire place is my fave! I wish I had brick so I can do that look. They both live in a suburb of Northern California and somehow they have transformed their homes into a rustic farmhouse style home.

Janna is an interior designer from Oregon and if I could have her come up to Washington to decorate my house, I would let her have total control to do whatever she wants. Thats how much I love her home! Her kitchen alone is beautiful and exactly how I'd want my kitchen to look. I mean look at the barn door as the entry way to her pantry! Follow her instagram to see her ever-changing home decor! She changes her front porch for every season and it has inspired me to do the same.

I mentioned Emily in my last Friday Favorites post because she makes the most amazing signs! On top of that, she has a beautiful home as well! I think I like it so much because I would decorate my own house exactly like hers. It seems like every weekend she is starting a new home project and her husband makes just about anything she comes up with. I like her style because it has more of a modern farmhouse style which is what I most relate to.

I recently discovered Nina and Cecilia's blog and instagram pages and I'm so glad I did! They are like a breath of fresh air when it comes to decorating their home. It's gorgeous!!! I mean look at their living room above! They are twin sisters and they both have the cutest families! They're so good, they are working with HGTV #goals 

I hope you guys found some new people to follow and get inspired like I did! Have a great weekend!

Hello Fall!

My favorite time of the year is finally here!! 

It may not be fall officially but c'mon... we all know once September 1st hits, it's basically here. And I could not be more excited! So much so that I decided to throw a first day of fall potluck at work and am already planning to attend fall festivities, like a brew fest at a pumpkin patch.

The weather finally cooled off yesterday and we actually got some rain. I wore sweats for the first time since, like April, and today I plugged in the apple cinnamon scented glade plug-ins and my house smells ahhh-mazing! Not to mention football is back and we are cooking a yummy roast in the crockpot for dinner. I'm soaking it all in! 

What I also love about this time of year is all the fun fall decor that stores are putting out and a lot of it is on sale! So I put together a list of some of the cutest fall decor items and I want all of them! 

FYI - after going through so many websites to find stuff for you guys, I realized Crate and Barrel had the CUTEST fall decor. I mean, three of the items below are from their website and I want everything I saw! I need a 2nd job just to feed my shopping addiction! But really, I hope you like what you see and if you buy anything, let me know!!
