Blue and White Fall Dining Room Reveal ~Kirkland’s Giveaway

A Blue and White Fall Dining Room

What is blue and white and orange all over?

and no the answer is not the Auburn University  football team…Roll Tide!

It’s my new dining room! I’m so excited to share my dining room reveal with you, all made over for FALL!  I was privlidged  to team up with Kirkland’s (and four other amazing bloggers) for a challenge to dress up a room for the autumn season.

My dining room seemed like the perfect choice!

Blue and White Fall Dining Room 1

You might remember when I shared the before pictures of our new house and told you how much I loved this space.

BEFORE

With beautiful wainscoting, crown molding and high ceilings, it was perfection!

AFTER

I’m so excited about how it turned out! I love the blue and white paired with the dark wood.  Even more fun was getting to accessorize it for my favorite season! There are so many ways to add autumn to the dining room.

Blue and White Fall Dining Room

Chippy white washed lanterns are a fun option for adding lighting to a fall table and I couldn’t pass up these darling white turkey salt and pepper shakers for some whimsy.

Blue and White Fall Dining Room with pops of orange

Blue and white pairs so pretty with orange mums.  Run a length of burlap down the center of your table and top with a pretty vintage crocheted runner for a rustic refined look.

gold burnished pheasants in fall tablescape

This sweet little pair of gold burnished pheasants are sitting pretty on the table.  For additional ambiance you can fill small glass containers with beans and nestle in votive candles.

Fall lantern with acorns

I’m all about the little details when it comes to setting a holiday table. I used these darling bronze acorns to fill the bottom of the lanterns.

vintage silverware tied with chalkboard tag and twine

You can let each guest know how special they are by tying up  vintage silverware place settings with tiny chalkboard tags!

autumn blue and white dining room plate display

Spell out seasonal words on white platters, like these Sweet Olive Platters from Kirkland’s, and hang for a simple display.  They can be changed for each holiday or special event. I’ll be showing you how easy these are to make in an upcoming post.

Decorating the sideboard can be as fun as decorating the tabletop!

Blue and White Fall Sideboard 3

 Tom Turkey will stand proud watching over the desserts this Thanksgiving!  Let your guests know what you are serving by sharing your menu on a chalkboard easel.  When not using it for a menu board, you can display a favorite seasonal quote.

Blue and White Fall Sideboard Details

This trio of gold pumpkins gives a little bling to the sideboard when paired with my blue and white ginger jar and thrift store find willow ware plates.

There are so many ways to make your your house a harvest home and Kirkland’s is the perfect place to turn to for beautiful holiday decor!

I love the look of beautiful wood. Your dining room is beautiful. I agree with you about accessorizing your table and buffet. You have done a beautiful job, very inspiring. The lantern and the acorns add beautiful texture. The chalkboard tags, great idea, and the platters on the wall with the vinyl words. Thank you for participating in an easy to do project that doesn’t require major renovations.

Happy Independence Day!! 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙 M Happy Independence Day!! 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

May we never take for granted the freedom given to us not by earthly authorities but by the ONE true authority. And may we live in such a way as to honor those who fought for and protect freedom and liberty. 

“Independence Day, freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed – else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.” Dwight D. Eisenhower
Happy Friday!! I’m working on a blog post to sha Happy Friday!! I’m working on a blog post to share all of the details of our family room shelving makeover but I’m super impatient and just had to give you all a sneak peek!! We are SO happy with how they turned out and it finally looks like I’ve always envisioned. Our quick fix years ago (scroll to see the before photo) never felt quite right but now? Soooo much better!! 🙌🏻 Big shoutout to our amazingly talented friend Matt @redemptive_woodworx for bringing our vision to life and doing such impeccable work.

I hope you all have a great start to the 4th of July weekend and make sure to check my stories later for Friday Funnies!
The month of June is coming to a close and it has The month of June is coming to a close and it has been JAM packed! The highlight by far though was my son's graduation from high school. When I started blogging, he was only 6 years old and some of you have been apart of my community here for that entire time. Now, he's 19 and there is a reason parents are told not to blink because the years truly do go faster than I ever could have imagined. He has become such an incredible young man we are so excited to see how God is going to unfold the next chapter of his life. We celebrated with parties galore (SO many open houses to attend!) and made memories we'll forever cherish. My mama heart was filled to bursting with the joy of it all! Now we're taking some time to just enjoy these warm, summer days making even more memories because, when you’re at this stage of parenting, you know all too well how much you need to grasp every opportunity to spend time together.

I hope your summer is off to a great start too dear friends! 🪴
“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts o “And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.” F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Happy first day of summer dear friends!! I can’t believe it’s been so long since I posted something new here but life has been crazy. I’ll have some new photos of house projects and life events to share with you soon but, got now, I’m just going to enjoy this gorgeous first day of summer after our ridiculously long, wet spring. ☀️

Welcome June!
“No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom “No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation.”
General Douglas MacArthur

“Those who know your name trust in you, for you, “Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.” Psalm 9:10
This is one of my most favorite projects from my b This is one of my most favorite projects from my book Life in Season! 

Because, if heaven has a fragrance, I’m fairly certain it smells like lilacs.

I think that somewhere along the way the verse in the Bible that said, ‘heaven will smell like lilacs’ just got lost in translation. But it HAD to have been in there at some point, right?

When I bury my head in the blossoms (which I absolutely MUST do every single time I walk past them), I immediately feel a stirring in my soul.

It seems like I wait forever for my lilac tree to bloom. Every year I anxiously watch as the buds begin to form on the branches and then when the blossoms finally burst forth I begin that agonizing process of deciding the absolute perfect moment to snip them and bring them inside.

And then, after all of that waiting and watching it’s just over…done. Because, unlike heaven, lilacs don’t last for an eternity. So, making my own lilac room spray seemed like the perfect way to enjoy their fragrance long after the blossoms have faded.

Here’s how to make it! Ingredients: Water, Vodka, Lilac fragrance oil. Directions: Fill spray bottle with 50/50 ratio of water to vodka. Add 12 drops of lilac oil. Give it a shake, spray and if the scent isn’t strong enough, simply add a few more drops of lilac oil.

Once you’ve made this lilac scented room spray you will be very tempted to spray it in every room in your house. And someone may want to use it in the bathroom to cover up other less…ummmm….pleasing aromas.

But, do not, I repeat do NOT, let them.

I’m a MUCH better version of myself when the sun is shining! 🤪 So I’ll just be over here today plotting and planning how my husband and I can be snowbirds someday when the kids are out of the house.

Happy weekend sweet friends!! We’ve had a LOT of Happy weekend sweet friends!! We’ve had a LOT of rain lately (which is saying something when you live in Oregon) and I’ll admit that it’s affecting my moods a bit. I feel like I’m dragging and struggling to find the energy to get stuff done. So don’t mind me if I’m over here looking at photos of my garden in the summertime and finding that it keeps me hopeful about those days to come. They will come, right?! 🤪. 

What are your favorite plants that you look forward to seeing in the summer?
