Hello, friends! If you’re stopping by on the seasonal tablescape blog hop, welcome 🙂

Putting together tablescapes is always something I look forward to; it’s such a fun and creative way to not only flex those decor muscles but also work on my photography skills.

But the best part? Seeing all the inspiration from the other talented bloggers who join on this seasonal table decor hop. There’s oodles of ideas to inspire you this fall season!

So without further ado, let’s dive in!

Today’s rustic fall tablescape has the honor of being the first one photographed out on our new deck.

I was definitely in my happy place putting this together; we had beautiful weather, the sun wasn’t too bright and the dogs were running circles around me as I unpacked all the goodies.

In fact, I completely forgot to put out the glasses. So, in this tablescape story, I’m going for a casual vibe of BYOB 🙂

The other item to note – did you know Wal-mart has faux flowers? And not those extra-fake looking ones; it actually was a pretty great selection for fall . Even better, the price tag. I didn’t pay more than $5 for a decent-sized bundle.

Perhaps this is old news but I am not a frequent Wal-marter (Team Target all the way) and was pleasantly surprised to stumble across them.

Other than the faux flower centerpiece, everything else in today’s rustic fall tablescape is from my most favorite place to shop: the basement decor stash.

The green pumpkins are from last year’s Target’s dollar spot, the eucalyptus was already on hand and the antlers… well, if you have been around here before you know Brett has a gigantic collection sitting in our basement.

The decor orbs were found at Hobby Lobby last spring on clearance. I think I paid $3 for a large box of green and neutral. Hell yes to that good deal, amiright?!

To bring it all together, I cut off a long piece of brown kraft paper to serve as the tablecloth. I figured since our guest will be in the casual, BYOB-mood, they’d appreciate the opportunity to bust out their coloring skills in between dinner bites.

If you’re feeling the itch to replicate this, I’ve pulled a list of similar items:

Now off to polish up on our doodling game – that tablecloth isn’t going to decorate itself 🙂

All our best,

    Such a simple but pretty table Kelly! I love the idea of using butcher paper for the table cloth! Practical but still stylish I think!

    Kelly you have a a beautiful outdoor dining space, perfect for fall. I have not shopped faux flowers at Walmart in forever. I usually get them at Hobby Lobby or Joann so I will have to take a look. Love the simplicity of your table and the look of the brown kraft paper. We have use it before on the children’s table at Thanksgiving but it works perfectly on your outdoor fall tablescape.

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!

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?!?
