Inspiration Friday No. 84…Welcome!

It’s really Fall Y’all!! We’ve been counting down the days and around here At The Picket Fence it has definitely arrived in full force!  We are so excited about all of the amazing things happening during the Fall here at the fence.  We have a fun trip to NYC, an amazing conference and a magazine feature of Heather’s kitchen just around the corner! It’s going to be a busy October! 
It’s also been a fun week here at the fence.  
We shared our newest sponsors of At The Picket Fence and some of their amazing products and talents. 
We were partying Pioneer Style this week when our guest contributor Julie shared with us her fabulous Pioneer Party with all of the amazing details. 
Heather also shared a fun trip she took to a local Farmhouse Shoppe, Sweet Buy and Buy
where she picked up an amazing vintage tool box and transformed it into a Fabulous Fall Centerpiece!

We also want to welcome back one of our fabulous sponsors Ambivalent Relics!
Here you can find gorgeous vintage and repurposed Steam Punk Jewelry like this fun piece!

Now onto this week’s Inspiration Friday Features!

INSPIRED ROOMS

Jamie from Crafty Scrappy Happy revealed her gorgeous and elegant dining room that was part of a major home renovation.  We love the sophisticated and calm color palette and that chandelier…oh my! 



Brenda of Cottage4C revealed her fabulous new kitchen wrapped in this fun and fresh cabinet color! The lovely color against the dark counters make this kitchen full of charm! 


INSPIRED MAKEOVERS

Angela of Number Fifty-Three shared how she pulled some pieces from other rooms and created this darling owl silhouette (which she share instructions for) to makeover her foyer for fall.  We love the pop of color with the addition of the mustard seed gossip bench. 


We love the makeover of this “Sad to Fab” Table by Bethany of Pitter and Glink.  The contrasting white legs and dark tabletop is just lovely. 



Ashley from Domestically Speaking updated as set of Craigslist stools with stenciled numbers adding a bright and crisp look to her kitchen bar. 


Erin from How To Nest for Less recently revealed her gorgeous Laundry Room Makeover.  We were in awe over the update she gave her washer and dryer.  After stenciling them with this gorgeous pattern, they are the envy of every washer and dryer on the block! 




INSPIRED CRAFTS AND CREATIONS

How sweet is this Origami Pillow created by Dear Emmeline!? She shares the full tutorial so you talented “sewers” can create one too! 


While there can’t be anything cuter than the Little Miss wearing this coat, you have to admit the darling Herringbone Swing Coat, Amy from While Wearing Heels made for her daughter, comes in a close second! 


Would you believe this 3D Star Garland from Christine of Lets Get Crafty is not metal..but cardboard! Made from recycled cereal boxes this garland could be used for so many different occasions! 



INSPIRED RECIPES AND PARTIES


Tracey from The Kitchen Is My Playground made us this lovely Pear Walnut Crisp and brought it by for everyone to enjoy last week here at Inspiration Friday….well we can dream anyways! :)  


How about some Caramel Apple Munch Mix from Keri of Shaken Together?! A perfect Fall Gathering or Game Day snack! 


The gals from Be Book Bound whipped up a batch of these fabulously fall pancakes drenched in Pumpkin Spice Syrup…should we say these are for breakfast or dessert? 



INSPIRED FALL DECOR

We love the darling fabric covered pumpkins from Sarah of Alderberry Hill. Dollar Tree Pumpkins never knew they could have it so good!

Athena of Minerva’s Garden has set a gorgeous and affordable Autumn Table for Two!


Amanda of Bullfrogs and Bulldogs shared her beautiful Yarn Wrapped Autumn Wreath in this unique and sophisticated color palette! 


The Call of Autumn, it speaks to us all! Sylvia of Sylvia’s Simple Life shares the tastes of Fall through her lovely photography! 



INSPIRING STORIES

Reannah of Shaped By Grace shares how we can overcome “Wearing Our Insecurity” 

insecure

We’re used to seeing posts of gorgeous vignettes and lovely rooms from our friend Laurie of Heaven’s Walk but this week she shared a post of another sort. One just as lovely and full of inspiration.  Please read how Laurie is “silencing the Noise” and the journey God is taking her on “one run at a time.”
