At The Picket Fence with Vanessa Hunt

Where Ideas for your Home Meet Inspiration for your Heart

It’s Simply Fall….At The Picket Fence


Simple: not elaborate or artificial, unaffected; unassuming; modest; not grand or sophisticated; unpretentious; not complicated…. a simple design.  

SIMPLE

Seems to be the word of the day around here At The Picket Fence
These days the fence has gotten a little chaotic.  Now, in no way are we complaining.  The busyness is a result wonderful opportunities and we feel so BLESSED! 
An opportunity to speak at a Blogging Conference
A chance to work with LG and fly to New York City for the Food Network Wine and Food Festival
A feature in Better Homes and Gardens Magazine coming out in a few weeks
upcoming projects and posts for some major brands and products
children leaving the nest….and in the midst of it all selling a house and moving.

So when your life feels a little crazy AND you are selling your house, like I am, how do you decorate for the Fall and still maintain that “staged” and somewhat sterile look that Realtors want you to have? 

How do you indulge your creative side and still maintain order?

You simplify


You use what you have.

  11. I love it all, and simple is the name of my game this year. I’m even planning to whittle down my usual Christmas. I just like the feeling that I can breathe.

    And any Realtor would be thrilled to show your home!
