Designing and creating on a simple budget.

Our Fall Porch 2017

September 12, 2017 Uncategorized

Well hello again friends! The time is already here where we get to share our homes dressed up for the seasons and I truly love getting to do that with each of you! Today is all about the front of our houses and I am joining some more sweet friends for a Fall Porch Hop hosted by Taryn at Taryn Whiteaker. I have seen her beautiful home in person and you will not want to miss her pretty fall decorations!

I rarely showed the front of our house as it was in dire need of a paint job… But this last summer it finally got one and I have slowly been sprucing it up. Sharing it here gave me just the motivation I needed to tie up some more loose ends and give you a peek!

Its a bit of a funny mid – century modern layout and with all the different plants and gardens it has an eclectic look like the rest of our home. The porch is a long concrete area that we converted half of into a moss laden sitting area as well.

It has the perfect little stoop for a trio of pumpkins….

And a gathering of pots. Mums happen to be one of my favorite ways to decorate the outdoors this time of year.

I instantly was drawn to these pink blooms and their rich autumn tones.

As much as I would have loved to have had real pumpkins they are no where to be found right now so my faux ones will hold me over till then ;)…

I think it is always nice to flank your front door with plants and pumpkins if there is enough room to do so.

And of course I accessorize with a few outdoor pillows/rug here and there. I can’t resist the color, pattern and texture they bring to the spot.

I hope you enjoyed our simple little set up for fall and don’t forget to go say hello to all these lovely friends who have shared their pretty porches down below!

    Love that mums color!!! I prefer using mums for my fall porch too and this darker shade of their’s is my favourite. Love the way pumpkins always match the style around, and are so siple and neutral at the sam time. Really liked your porch decoration 🙂

I love wind chimes, chirping birds and dripping fountains... So you can imagine how fun it has been to be inside with the windows open and hearing all if those noises at once 💕. This could be a project that would be easily done with inexpensive pieces and makes a big impact for your outdoor space. Speaking of outdoor spaces, I shared ours all ready for summer up on the blog along with my friends. Come check it out if you need some easy ideas!

I am talking about how we use drawers, but try to keep things pretty/functional at the same time... Come check it out and see how we think outside the box when it comes to this space! One of my new favorite tips comes from these 100% Cotton Turkish towels we were gifted from @theloomia! Not only are they pretty, they are large, but save space at the same time... You’ll have to go see what I mean in my stories, see you there! And @theloomia is offering 15% off when you use the code - Zevyjoy15 💕
I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and adding some fun wall treatments/trim... I only wish real size home DIY’s were as simple as popsicle sticks and wood glue 😂! Come see what I mean on stories... But I did grab some fresh flowers for the yard and shared how I simply decorate for this favorite season of mine, summer ☀️ . It’s all up on the blog and I am joining my friends too so come say hello 💕
I listened to your votes in stories and this old t I listened to your votes in stories and this old thrifted mirror got a few coats of “Play it Cool” (the color I had on hand from our kitchen cabinets 😉). And this hallway is finally done 🎉! Here is a little before and after... The board and batten design is from @anitayokota after I saw how she used it in her pretty bedroom I knew this would put a fun modern spin in the hallway. Some fresh paint, an affordable vintage rug and updated lighting completed this long dark space. Covering popcorn ceilings will come next, but I hope this shows how a little trim and paint go a long way when working on spaces! 🌿
This past week was a time to listen and prayerfully learn. My eyes were opened and my heart convicted to speak up and to do better... While I begin to share my content here, I will strive to move forward for change and find ways to support black lives here and at home.
Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawils Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawilson.msrd for more about this movement. My feed will be muted here as I listen and learn. I will be in stories sharing resources that support black lives. #amplifymelanatedvoices
Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out dressed sorta matching this morning 😂 This girl knows what she likes and asked to have her pink room transformed with blue... And you know when you give a mouse a cookie... 🍪 (Clearly I am the mouse 🐭 in this story 🤣) We finished up the new bead-board wall (I have trim touch up to do still) and then we are finishing spraying her little desk this afternoon. A couple vintage pieces are on the way, but otherwise I have been shopping the house for this little makeover. It’s all still in progress, but getting closer! And you all... This room is small!! So I am going to share how we tackle storage in this space so stay tuned in stories... 💕
Ever since I was little I can remember my dad tell Ever since I was little I can remember my dad telling me (who is a contractor/designer) the importance of using 3’s 💕. Now as I have made our own home, I almost always use the rule of 3’s whenever I am decorating. That goes for coffee tables, nightstands and more... I’m talking all about it and showing you some examples in stories today! And even more fun is that @boutiquerugs is offering 60% off with the code - ZEVYJOY60 ! This is the new rug we added from their collection to our bedroom here! So enjoy and have fun looking around at all their pretty selections... #boutiquerugspartner
You all know how I feel about pillows by now, don’t you?! 😂 Well in case you don’t... I think they are the best! They pull a space together affordably and make things cozy of course! You can trade them out or just keep adding to them (which is what I like to do 😉). And let’s face it, you can never have too many... Am I right? They are your artistic canvas in home decor and in my opinion there aren’t many rules to follow in the fun of mixing and matching them either! 🌿
Best of all, I’ve teamed up with 7 talented accounts to share how we used pillows to style our spaces. Head on over and check out what they’ve done... @thegingerhome
