Green and Neutral Fall Tablescape

Fall· Home Decor· Tablescape· The Seasonal Home

Sharing a green and neutral fall tablescape for home ideas and inspiration.

Friends.

How is it already mid-September?!

green and neutral fall tablescape

I’m wracking my brain, trying to figure out how I was just welcoming May with open arms and so excited about all of the things that summer had in store for us.

We were going to get out on the lake at least once a week. We were going to have bonfires all the time. Grill out with friends as much as we could. Spend lots of time with family. Tube down the Rum River. Head up to our favorite antique store and spend the day thrifting. Sit on the porch and just enjoy the view.

And then…

Then it was June and we started tackling the laundry room.

And before we knew it, July Fourth was approaching and we were starting on the prep work for the garage.

And then…

Then we broke ground on the garage July 22 and you all know the rest of that story. We didn’t come up for air until August 19.

And then…

We were a week away from the wedding and it was a blur of cleaning and yard work and putting the house into some semblance of normalcy before all the wedding festivities began.

And then we GOT MARRIED (!!!)

And now…

Now it’s the middle of September and I find myself looking back on the last three months still unsure of where all the time went.

Side note: my husband (yes, I just had to write that out because it sounds so damn good 🙂 ) has whole heartedly disagreed with me on this point because fall = hunting season.

All of this to say I’m welcoming the cooler, shorter days with all the traditional decor, in a not-so-traditional color. Greens and neutrals are what we’re embracing this year – as a nod to the summer that flew by way too fast.

Thankfully Target was fully onboard with my decor choice this year and their Dollar Spot is bursting with beautiful greens and neutrals. I just love it when we’re on the same page 🙂

Just like summer, we set up outside… and let me tell you, in about two weeks when the fall colors are in full swing, the view is jaw dropping. I’ll share some pictures on Instagram when they’re looking their best!

To make this dinner party a little more fall friendly, throw blankets are a must. The days are still relatively warm but the nights can get a little chilly – even for us Minnesotans 😉 Oversized scarves work well, too – they’re basically a small throw and can be found for $7 at my favorite store.

Adding a few deer antlers was also a necessity. After all, it is hunting season and we’ve got a basement shelf full of these babies just asking to be put to good use.

To finish it off, I scattered green hued $1 pumpkins across the table, threw out a few candles and topped off all the glasses with a nice glass of white wine.

Last summer, Brett and I didn’t get out on the w Last summer, Brett and I didn’t get out on the water at all – not once did we take the boat out.

Given the fact that we live in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, I felt like the worst Minnesotan. How could we not enjoy the water when there’s three within five miles of our house?

This year? We've been able to get out on some body of water at least once per week - how cool is that?!

What’s been really great about these last few months is that we’ve seemed to have found a nice “balance” between go-go-go and taking time to enjoy whatever it may be.

While this season of relaxed work is probably not the norm, it's been a pleasant surprise that we'll be enjoying for as long as we can!

Enjoy the week, friends!

Yesterday, #ontheblog we did a mid-year check in o Yesterday, #ontheblog we did a mid-year check in on our renovation list and shared two new projects we're adding (of course!)

The second addition? Giving a little refresh to this laundry room by pushing back the washer, dryer and cabinets.

We finished it wayyyy back in 2017 but there was a small frustration: the washer and dryer cover the window.

Every few months we'd circle back to the space and see how we could make it work. It was one of those little issues that might not seem like a big deal to anyone else, but here's the thing - you deserve to LOVE your home.

After four and a half years of constant projects, I often find myself wondering why in the hell we are doing this and I keep coming back to this idea that a home is meant to be loved, to share a story, to work for you, to be a space that you can relax in and enjoy.

So while the washer and dryer covering a window might be insignificant to a visitor, for us, it's something we see every day. And, after three years of brainstorming, we finally found a solution that felt good.

I guess that's the bonus of being four years into a reno - the idea of knocking down a wall seems like an easy project nowadays 😂😂

Sometimes, it's not all rainbows and butterflies.. Sometimes, it's not all rainbows and butterflies... especially when it comes to neighbors.

New post #ontheblog today all about the lawsuit we've been in with our neighbor for the last year. And it started all because of our garage.

In short: three years ago the county required us to get a survey done on our property in order to build the garage. The results showed that the easement our neighbor was using to access her property was not in the right place - it was inside our property lines instead of outside.

Fast forward to July 2, 2019 when we were served lawsuit paperwork from said neighbor, claiming the rights to the easement location - and it's been a long, stressful process since then.

But, we received the good news last week from our lawyer - everything is finalized and we can finally put this whole mess behind us!

Cheers to starting the week off on a high note!

In other news, Brett scored big time and found a giant rug for our living room - it was half off and arrived last week. Now we're patiently waiting until we get the new floors down until we roll it out. Check the stories if you want to get a sneak peak!😁😁 Enjoy the day, my friends!

Brett showed up around dinner time and proceeded to spend the next hour in a water + cake fight with six kids under 10.

Yup, I'm married to an adult child. 😂😂 Kidding aside - I had one of those 'I love summer' moments, watching them all run around outside, laughing their heads off.

Hope you're enjoying the start to your week, friends! 🙌
So, here's the deal. The kitchen tile project was So, here's the deal. The kitchen tile project was not all sunshine and roses.

Two words: dried grout.

On the plus side, you can in fact clean dried grout from tile. On the negative, it's a complete pain in the ass... And doesn't get you back too 100%. #ontheblog today, I'm diving into all the details on how we cleaned the tile... And the (now funny?) story on how it even happened in the first place (hint: renovating with your husband on an empty stomach never has a positive outcome) 😂
The last four years have been a constant experimen The last four years have been a constant experiment of finding the balance between function and design.

We started this entryway with white built-ins and light walls. Damn it looked good in pictures but real life? With two black dogs and a lake... Well let's just say the functionality of the design choices were at an all time low.

So, we overhauled the space and darkened the walls and built-ins. While I was a little nervous to go so dark, I have to admit Brett's instincts were right one this one.

So, here's to continuing to find that balance of function and design - and I'd love hear, have you compromised anything because it just didn't fit with how your family lives in your home?!?
