Concrete Block Raised Garden Bed

written by Lauren

cinder block raised garden bed filled with mums

  Over a year ago, I created an outdoor seating area in my yard with a few concrete/cinder blocks and some wood. Sadly the top of the bench didn't last long. Just before this summer, the wood warped, and the adhesive that held the wood to the concrete block base of the bench dried up. I debated whether to fix the bench or find another use for the concrete blocks. My family and I never used the bench much, so I nixed the idea of rebuilding it. (Even though the bench was pretty!) I thought about building a fire pit with the blocks, but my daughters didn't think we'd use it much. Continue reading...

DIY Fall Gallery Wall

written by Lauren

DIY fall gallery wall

I love decorating my home for the seasons. My decor isn't always planned -- sometimes I go where my whims take me. Recently, a trip to my local Target store spurred a new DIY fall gallery wall in my home's living room! For me, my home is one big craft/art project! Luckily my hubby doesn't complain about it much. When I shop at Target, I love stopping at my local store's dollar spot area. On one recent trip, I was lucky enough to snag an inexpensive blank pallet-style wooden sign, a wooden "Family" cutout, some silver and gold fall-themed transfer stickers, and some wooden autumn leaves. I Continue reading...

Fall Bucket List Jars – Yogurt Jar Crafts

written by Lauren

Decorate cute glass yogurt jars to use as a collection spot to create a fall bucket list

Today I am joining some of my blogging friends in sharing fall crafts made with glass yogurt jars! For my craft, I used two glass yogurt jars to create two fall bucket list jars. I hope to use the jars to track fun fall activities that my husband, kids and I want to do together this autumn. The jars are filled with pretty wooden pumpkin-shaped tokens on which we can write the fun things we want to do this fall. (Like bake a homemade apple pie!)

Thanksgiving Console Table

written by Lauren

Be Grateful Thanksgiving pumpkin

This is a sponsored post. Fall merchandise was gifted to me in exchange for this post. All opinions are 100% mine. I can't believe that we're already into November -- this year is flying by. I love to decorate my home for the seasons. One area I especially like to decorate in my home is my living room's console table. The table is an unfinished console table that I stained and painted with chalk paint. I most recently decorated the console table for fall with pumpkins, lanterns and other fun fall items from Oriental Trading.  Decorated Thanksgiving Console Table I started my Continue reading...

Fall Console Table with Lanterns and Pumpkins

written by Lauren

Fall console table with black metal lantern from Oriental Trading

*This post was sponsored by Oriental Trading. I received free product in exchange for my honest review. The console table in my home's living room is one of my favorite furniture pieces in my house. I got an Unfinished Shaker Sofa Table about two years ago and stained it in a dark mahogany and painted the legs a cheery yellow. The table is a great space to decorate for the seasons! This year, I found exactly what I needed to create a fall console table with some great decor from Oriental Trading. I love how my new fall decor from Oriental Trading looks on my home's fall Continue reading...
