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.

“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

Grateful today and every day for those who were vigilant to the point of death in the preservation of our freedom and the principles upon which our country was founded. May we honor their sacrifice by being vigilant too. #memorialday
I’ve been on the lookout for small side tables t I’ve been on the lookout for small side tables to pit next to our outdoor couch and when I spotted these plant stands at @walmart from their @betterhomesandgardens line I knew they would be perfect…and they are!! 👏🏻 This is not a sponsored post. I’m just happily sharing this great find and why we should always be open to thinking outside of the box when it comes finding solutions for our decorating dilemmas.

Now we’re ready to head into this beautiful weekend! ☀️
What do you do when you want to use a bunch of boo What do you do when you want to use a bunch of books in your decorating but it can cost $50 or more for just ONE brand new book? Head to the secondhand bookstore of course! I’m so excited about this new look in my family room and this easy, inexpensive decorating tip I’m bringing to you for this #tiptuesday
Today feels like one of those days that is worthy Today feels like one of those days that is worthy of a chef’s kiss. Blue sky with nary a cloud in sight, perfect mid-70’s temps, a gentle breeze blowing through my hair as I walk around my yard to see the status of my flowering plants.

This morning I was running errands and the weight of hard things that are happening in the world, the culture, my own community and even in our circle of friends just felt so heavy.

But, as I was exiting a store, I passed a couple who were in their late 60’s/early 70’s and holding hands as they walked through the parking lot. I happened to glance over just as the husband lifted his wife’s hand up and planted a kiss right on it. It was a moment that reflected such love and tenderness and it was made sweeter by the fact that they weren’t spring chickens. I felt honored that I had been the one to observe and appreciate that moment.

What an incredible thing it is that as humans we are able to hold so many emotions in our souls all at once. To feel sorrow for the pain a friend is enduring, grieve the decline of a culture drifting further from the Lord, ponder how to navigate a challenging school situation, marvel at and enjoy the beauty of creation right outside my door and feel joy at getting to see a tangible example of lasting love while walking through a parking lot.

I truly believe that as we mature in our lives and in our faith, we learn to embrace the tension that comes with the collision of different emotions and recognize that they can all coexist at the same time without one taking something away from another. Simple joys make the hard stuff a bit easier and hard stuff makes us appreciate those simple joys even more.

What’s a simple joy that you are thankful for today?
Oh what an absolutely lovely weekend we had!! Here Oh what an absolutely lovely weekend we had!! Here are some highlights…

*Friday night I joined some wonderful ladies at church for a time of fellowship and yummy desserts. I made a strawberry lemon coffee cake and it was amazing if I do say so myself. ☺️ We are new-ish to this church and have just felt so warmly welcomed and folded in which has been very healing.

*Saturday was filled with getting our outdoor spaces spiffed up and my guys got our new table put together!

*Sitting outside for lunch with a yummy salad and iced tea felt like a little slice of heaven.

*Sunday we went to the iris gardens with my in-laws and then came home for naps and the most mouth watering ribs that my sweet husband had on the smoker all day.

*This glorious weekend ended with some ferocious rounds of UNO-corn (a hilarious version of UNO) and brownies my sweet daughter made for our dessert.

How was your weekend sweet friends? 🌸
I am absolutely and completely a better version of I am absolutely and completely a better version of myself when the sun is shining! Raise your hand if this is true for you too.

And, not only do I feel myself seeming to physically rise up from a slumbered state to greet the sunshine we've been longing for, I find that it seems like my house is rising up too. Every room, every nook and cranny (even though I now see dust bunnies that I missed during my cleaning on the dreary days), every leaf and flower outside...it's all coming to life and breathing fresh hope into my spirit. What a gift it is to be able to enjoy this home in all of the seasons of the year and of our lives. Now, I'm going to head outside and clean our deck and maybe there will be some time leftover for those dust bunnies!

They come with pre-made labels for SO many different options and would make a great Mother’s Day gift! I love how they add a bit of pizzazz to my kitchen. And they go perfectly with some of my antique accessories like the little dish my mother in law gave me for salt and pepper and the tiny toothpick holder which belonged to my great grandmother. 

If you’d like the link to order them, just leave a comment with the word ‘bottles’ and I’ll send it your way. They’re even on sale right now! 🙌🏻
The lilacs are coming! The lilacs are coming! This The lilacs are coming! The lilacs are coming! This is what I’m thinking (and sometimes saying out loud) every time I pass my dining room window and see my lilac tree bursting forth. I should probably just go full Paul Revere and ring a bell while I shout the news for all to hear. I’m sure my family would love that!

Lilac season is so bittersweet because it’s over way too soon but, fortunately, I’ve figured out how to capture the deliciousness of the fragrance by making my own lilac scented room spray. It’s SO simple!

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.

This sweet little project was first featured in my book Life in Season and is definitely one of my favorites.

Have the lilacs started blooming where you live?

It’s time for another #tiptuesday! One of the gr It’s time for another #tiptuesday! One of the greatest joys of this stage in my parenting journey is getting to see the results of the years spent pouring into my children. The worry, the sleepless nights, praying, questioning our decisions and learning to trust in the Lord Who loves them even more than we do. We definitely didn’t do everything right, but what an an amazing experience it is to watch them become these incredible teens/young adults. My tip this week might seem simple, but I believe it can make a major difference in the lives of our children, in our homes and maybe, just maybe, in the culture too. 🌸
