Create an elegant, autumn atmosphere with gorgeous fall jewel tones! Rich emerald, golden amber, royal blue, and deep purple will be beautiful in your home this fall!


Fall is probably one of my favorite seasons to decorate for.  Most of my fall decor is pretty traditional.  Pumpkins and bundles of wheat. Warm, rusty oranges and brilliant reds, paired with creamy neutrals to add a bit of balance. It’s colorful, but classic.

Lately, I’ve started to see jewel tones popping up in stores and it’s making me change my mind about the way I decorate for fall.  There are gorgeous, velvety pumpkins in deep blues, emerald greens, and wine-soaked burgundy.  There are amber jars that glow with color and some of the prettiest fall florals I’ve seen!  And there are gold and brass pieces to bring it all together.

If you’re looking to update your fall mantle or tabletop decor this year, check out these jewel tone items!  There’s everything from pumpkins, to florals, and even some lighting to set the mood in your home.  This fall, and even Thanksgiving, consider decorating with rich and elegant jewel tones!  I will be definitely be adding a lot more blue and purple to our fall decor this year!

Add some simple elegance to your fall decor with these 20 DIY White Pumpkins. You can easily transition these budget-friendly projects from Halloween to Thanksgiving!


It’s officially fall, so I can officially talk about all things pumpkin! Okay. Who am I kidding? I bought my first pumpkin from the craft store in July!  I have an entire storage tote (and then some) devoted solely to artificial pumpkins.  I’ve made so many DIY pumpkin projects over the past few years, but my favorite decorative pumpkins are definitely white pumpkins.

Orange pumpkins are classic fall, but white pumpkins just work so well in home decor.  They’re the perfect blank canvas for so many fall DIY projects, but they’re also so elegant and pretty on their own.  If you’re looking to add some white pumpkins into your fall decor this year, check out these DIY projects!

Get ready for summer’s biggest week in television!  Shark Week is back and I’m sharing everything you need to get your Shark Week watch party started!


It’s that time of year again, animal lovers!  Shark Week is just 10 days away!  Shark Week is kind of a big deal in our house.  We tune in every year!  Actually, most of the year, our TV is tuned to some kind of animal/nature show.  We watch vet shows, behind-the-scenes zoo shows, nature documentaries – the works! 

But Shark Week is a whole ‘nother story!  Sharks are fascinating creatures.  In fact, over the past few years, there have been a few Great White Shark sightings along the Jersey shore.  We’ve had quite a few reports already (also, reports of hammerheads and tiger sharks)!  While that might strike fear in some, the reports of pings along the coast have definitely excited us! 

If you’re fascinated by sharks and getting ready to tune into some fin-tastic TV, check out these essentials for your Shark Week watch party!  I’ve included everything from clothing, decor, serveware, and even a couple goodies to nibble on while you watch this shark-infested event!

Everything You Need for Your Shark Week Watch Party
  1. Shark Lollipops
  2. Gummy Sharks
  3. Shark Attack Bowl
  4. Chomping Shark Plush Slippers
  5. Shark Pillow Covers
  6. Great White Shark Socks
  7. Jaw Ready Shark Mug
  8. Shark Bite Can Coolie
  9. I ❤ Sharks Shirt
  10. Shark Fin Cupcake Picks
  11. Great White Shark Cookie Cutter
  12. Shark Button Down Shirt
  13. Great White Shark Float
  14. Shark Lamp
  15. Shark Attack Serving Plate

Need some more ideas for your Shark Week watch party? 

Sink your teeth into a Shark Week Cheese Board and serve it with some beachy labeled wine!

Or make a Shark Week Cake using a store bought ice cream cake and some edible decorations like gummy sharks and starfish!

And if you’re looking for a fun shark-themed DIY project to make ahead of your watch-a-thon, check out my Shark Infested Gel Candle!

Will you be tuning into Shark Week?

Patriotic Outdoor Decor for the 4th of July

Celebrate the 4th of July with these red, white, and blue patriotic outdoor decor items for your front door and yard!


Here’s the thing – the 4th of July has changed a bit for us ever since we got Hunter.  We used to head to a local park for their fireworks show or just enjoy the amateur, neighborhood displays from our back deck.  But Hunter has anxiety about fireworks and all things that go “boom,” thunderstorms included (and yes, we’ve tried pet anxiety products).

Nowadays, 4th of July evening is spent indoors when the fireworks start.  We head to the bedroom with the door closed, the A/C on, and the radio blasting.  However, I still enjoy sneaking out of the bedroom to watch fireworks light up the summer sky while my husband keeps Hunter company.  

Even though some of our 4th of July evening traditions have changed, I can still make our front porch and yard “sparkle” with patriotic decorations!  I’ll probably put our patriotic decor out this weekend.  I have a classic Americana style wreath for our front door and some fireworks garden stakes to put around the yard. 

Do you decorate your yard for the 4th of July?

 
We keep it pretty simple, but traditional for the 4th of July.  But after browsing Amazon, I’ll be adding some slightly more modern decorations to our front yard this year! 

I love switching up our doormat for holidays and seasons.  So I ordered the Home of the Free Doormat for our front door and have my eye on a couple other items, as well.  I also added a throw blanket to the list that would look cute on outdoor furniture or could be taken with you to watch fireworks!

Patriotic Outdoor Decor for the 4th of July
  1. Home of the Free Doormat
  2. ‘Merica Abraham Lincoln Garden Flag
  3. Patriotic Hanging Beaded Outdoor Chandelier
  4. Metal Peace Sign
  5. Red, White, and Blue Tiki Torches
  6. Patriotic Porch Signs
  7. Patriotic Paper Lanterns
  8. Pleated Fan Flag Bunting
  9. Mini American Flags
  10. Patriotic Starburst Solar Stake Lights
  11. Red Stars Outdoor Throw Blanket
  12. American Flag Welcome Wind Chimes
