POV: you finally found a board game you’re guarant POV: you finally found a board game you’re guaranteed to win. 🤣🧀🍇

I LOVE board games… especially when people put meat and cheese on them. Maybe some fruit, crackers, and a few other snacks too. Now THAT is a game I’m really good at. 😂👏🏻

Okay, I’ll be honest, I’m actually not a huge board game person. But I AM extremely competitive, which means I only enjoy playing if there’s a decent chance I’m going to win. 😜 And if I’m not good at the game? Suddenly I’m no longer interested. 😂

But give me a charcuterie board filled with cheese, meats, crackers, fruit, and all the yummy snacks, and I’ll happily play all night long. 🙌🏻

Plus, an easy charcuterie board is one of my favorite entertaining ideas for fall get-togethers, game nights, girls’ nights, and holiday parties. It looks impressive, requires basically no cooking, and everyone can grab exactly what they want!

So tell me… are you a REAL board game person 🎲 or are you more of a charcuterie “board game” person like me?! 🧀🤣

Never thought I’d be making a binder with dividers Never thought I’d be making a binder with dividers for doctor notes, lab results, treatments, medications, scans, surgeries, symptoms, and medical records at just 33 years old… but here we are. 😂

After months of appointments and still feeling like no one can put all the puzzle pieces together, I’ve officially decided I’m becoming that patient. You know, the one who walks into every appointment carrying a giant medical binder, receipts in hand, ready to advocate for herself and get some ANSWERS. 😂👏🏻

Because if navigating chronic illness has taught me anything, it’s that sometimes you have to become your own medical historian and your own biggest advocate.

There is a little bit of good news though! 🙌🏻 I was able to get an appointment with Duke’s Electrophysiology Clinic to hopefully get more help with my inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) and figure out a better treatment plan. The downside? My appointment isn’t until October 30th. 🙃 So once again… we wait.

I’m really hoping that by the end of this year, I’ll finally have more answers, a treatment plan that actually helps, and a clear path forward. 🤞🏻

Until then, catch me organizing my medical records like they’re a high school research project. 😂📑

Anyone else with chronic illness have a giant medical binder too?! Because I have a feeling I’m definitely not the only one. 👇🏻

🎃YOU’D NEVER GUESS THESE PUMPKINS CAME FROM DOLLAR 🎃YOU’D NEVER GUESS THESE PUMPKINS CAME FROM DOLLAR TREE!

I found these adorable stackable pumpkins at Dollar Tree for only $5 each, and of course I immediately started thinking about how I could give them a little high-end fall makeover! 🍂

I started with a coat of black spray paint, then went over them with a metallic bronze spray paint to add the prettiest subtle shimmer. ✨ I finished them off with a cute little bow on top, and just like that—a simple Dollar Tree find looks like expensive fall porch decor! 🙌🏻

My porch definitely isn’t fully decorated for fall yet, but I think these DIY Dollar Tree pumpkins are a pretty cute start, don’t you?! 😍

There’s just something so satisfying about taking an inexpensive Dollar Tree find and transforming it into something that looks way more high-end! And this one was SO easy to do. 🎃

Would you try this Dollar Tree fall decor DIY?! 🍁

Who’s already dressing their pets up for Halloween Who’s already dressing their pets up for Halloween? 🎃👻

Apparently Little Miss Riley is NOT a fan of her new Halloween cat sweater… and she made that very clear. 😹 I, on the other hand, think she looks absolutely adorable in her tiny spooky outfit!

Honestly, I’m shocked we even got the sweater on her. She’s so fast that catching her is usually the hardest part. 😂 Don’t worry though—we only kept it on long enough for a quick fit check before Halloween, then took it right back off and rewarded her with plenty of treats for being such a good girl. 🖤

I have a feeling this may be the first and last time she models her Halloween outfit this year… unless the treats convince her otherwise. 🤣

Are your pets team “dress up for Halloween” or team “absolutely not”? 🎃🐈

It may officially be September, but apparently the weather didn’t get the memo. 🤣 That’s okay though because I REFUSE to light anything but a fall scented candle from now on!

And the Fall Day candle from @ellerydesigns x @antiquecandleco is basically autumn in a jar. 🍁 It’s the perfect cozy fall scent to make your whole home smell like fall, even when it still feels like the middle of summer outside. 😂

Because if I can’t have crisp fall mornings and sweater weather yet, I can at least have a cozy home that SMELLS like fall, right?! 🍂☕️🕯️

If you’re looking for the best fall candles to kick off September and make your home feel extra cozy, definitely add this one to your list!

Are you already burning fall candles too, or are you waiting for the weather to cool down?! 👇🏻

When I spotted these adorable glass pumpkin jars in the Target Dollar Spot, I immediately knew I wanted to give one a little high-end fall makeover! And y’all… I’m OBSESSED with how this turned out. 😍

I grabbed some ColorShot spray paint in Metallic Bronze and gave the entire glass pumpkin jar a few coats, and that was literally it! Such an easy DIY fall decor project, but it completely transformed this $3 Target find.

Tell me this doesn’t look like something you’d find at Pottery Barn for WAY more?! 🙌🏼 I love finding inexpensive fall decor and turning it into something that looks high-end without the high-end price tag. Plus, you could customize this DIY pumpkin jar with any color to match your fall decor!

I always love making a cute Halloween boo basket, and since we don’t have kids, obviously my cats are getting one instead! 😂🧡

I filled their cat boo basket to the brim with all their favorite treats, Halloween-themed cat toys, and even a few costumes because what’s a boo basket without some embarrassing Halloween outfits?! 👻🤣

Now, they may not appreciate the costumes… but I KNOW they’re going to love the treats and toys! 😹🐾

So take this as your sign to make a Halloween boo basket for your cat this year! It’s such a fun way to spoil your feline friend and get them in the spooky spirit. 🎃🧡

Would your cat love a boo basket or absolutely HATE the costumes? 😂

Vintage Christmas Home Tour 2022

I can’t believe it’s Christmas already! And it dawned on me that I haven’t shared a vintage Christmas home tour with you all yet either. And I have been meaning to!

So I am sorry for the delay, but I figured better late than never right? I hope you enjoy my little tour and hopefully it will give you some inspiration for next year’s Christmas decorations too!

Living Room Christmas Tree

Vintage Christmas Living Room

We recently changed things up pretty big in our living room. We got a set of vintage leather sofas and replaced our old white sectional in here.

Vintage Leather Sofa in Living Room
Here are the new vintage leather sofas!

I have to say, at first I wasn’t really loving them. I thought they were a little too orange in color. But now, they have really grown on me. I love the style to them and the bead detailing.

View of living room into kitchen

Also, the cool thing about them is that they can be used with or without the back cushions as well. So you can have two completely different looks with just one sofa!

Vintage 7-Up Crate
I love how this vintage 7-Up crate is the same color as the leather too!

I will say though I don’t love all the red Christmas decor with it. In my opinion, I think it clashes. But I am pretty OCD when it comes to things like that.

Side View of Christmas Living Room

Next year, I want to replace all my red Christmas decor and do more of a gold and copper theme. I think that would really make the vintage sofas pop! So I am definitely going to be hitting up a lot of after Christmas sales!

Another new thing to our living room this year is this vintage side table that I restored with some Fusion Mineral Paint! I plan on sharing a full tutorial on how I did that soon. So be on the lookout for that tutorial!

I just love the shape to it, and it fit in our corner perfectly!

And I wrapped my presents just like last year too. I just can’t get over the vintage lace and ribbon! Most of the wrapping paper and supplies I got from Zulily and Amazon as well!

Christmas Entryway

I kept everything on our Christmas entryway the same. Although the paint and gold sconces are different than last year. You may remember that we did a whole entryway refresh at the beginning of this year too.

The vintage ceramic Christmas tree pops better against the darker color too. If you remember, the previous wall was white as well. So it kinda blended in more last year.

Love my vintage ceramic Christmas tree! I got it from Vintage Market Days last year!

Vintage Christmas Kitchen

Now, it’s time for the kitchen in my vintage Christmas home tour! I always love displaying my old Christmas dishes!

Vintage Christmas Place Setting
The cutest little Christmas tea cup!

I usually always do a vintage Christmas tablescape on my bar in the kitchen. The old dishes only came with four place settings, so I didn’t have enough for my full dining room table.

It’s the perfect set up for our bar area!

I also love to display a few Christmas touches to our tiered trays in the kitchen too. It makes for a festive centerpiece on our island.

Christmas Coffee Bar

And now my all time favorite Christmas place to style, my coffee bar! Y’all know I always love to style my coffee bar. But Christmastime is my very favorite!

Vintage Christmas Coffee Bar

I also really love the vintage Santa mugs I hang on the hooks too. It took me a few years to find enough to hang up there!

Vintage Christmas Dining Room

I kept my Christmas tablescape pretty much the same as last year too. I just loved it so much, I didn’t want to change it up any!

Vintage Christmas Tablescape

You’ll notice that I keep my vintage ironstone dishes on my tablescape a lot and reuse them almost every season. They are just timeless and classic and go with any kind of decor!

Vintage Christmas Dining Room

Another one of my favorite things to decorate each season are my open shelves in my dining room. It’s the perfect place to display all my vintage goodies!

Vintage Christmas Dining Shelves

You may also recognize my vintage Christmas spice tins on these shelves that I shared a few weeks ago too.

Christmas Bedroom

As usual, I had to have my two pencil trees in my bedroom this year too. I love the cozy glow it brings to the space!

Christmas Bedroom

I shared more about how to style a Christmas bedroom on my blog a few years ago, so be sure to go check that out too!

Vintage Christmas Office

One of my favorite rooms in the whole vintage Christmas home tour, is my office! I love to sit in here and write next to the pretty Christmas tree!

Vintage Christmas Office View

And I have plenty of other vintage touches in here as well. Such as the vintage postcards in my inbox/outbox mailer. And the vintage Christmas card on my flower frog. You knew it had to be one with cats, didn’t you?!

You can also see my cute office assistant down below too. Toby loves to be in the office working with me!

You can also see above that I have my favorite Tree Farm candle from Antique Candle Co. burning in the office as well. I always gotta have one burning during the Christmas season!

And, I found some more vintage Shiny Brite ornaments this year and decided to display them in my dough bowl I love the grayish blue color to them!

Christmas Guest Bedroom

I also am obsessed with our Christmas guest bedding! It has cats all over it, which you know is right up my alley!

Flocked King of Christmas Tree in Bedroom

Another new edition to the guest bedroom is my olive tree! And it is actually real! So let’s hope I am able to keep it alive until next Christmas too!

Well, I hope you all enjoyed my little vintage Christmas home tour! I threw it together really quickly and only made it time by just one day before Christmas!

But, I hope you also have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy spending it with family friends! And as always, I am so appreciative of all of you stopping by my blog! Merry Christmas!

    I really love that clock, it’s so unique! I really like the couch color, it really does look vintage without looking worn out, I would have guessed that it was basically new. I like the 7up crate, I also just like wooden crates in general, I just don’t have them because I am prone/unlikely to splinters for some reason. I really like how you decorated with mostly white, with pops of red and green, and the idea od replacing red with gold next year sounds amazing.

🎃YOU’D NEVER GUESS THESE PUMPKINS CAME FROM DOLLAR 🎃YOU’D NEVER GUESS THESE PUMPKINS CAME FROM DOLLAR TREE!

I found these adorable stackable pumpkins at Dollar Tree for only $5 each, and of course I immediately started thinking about how I could give them a little high-end fall makeover! 🍂

I started with a coat of black spray paint, then went over them with a metallic bronze spray paint to add the prettiest subtle shimmer. ✨ I finished them off with a cute little bow on top, and just like that—a simple Dollar Tree find looks like expensive fall porch decor! 🙌🏻

My porch definitely isn’t fully decorated for fall yet, but I think these DIY Dollar Tree pumpkins are a pretty cute start, don’t you?! 😍

There’s just something so satisfying about taking an inexpensive Dollar Tree find and transforming it into something that looks way more high-end! And this one was SO easy to do. 🎃

Would you try this Dollar Tree fall decor DIY?! 🍁

Who’s already dressing their pets up for Halloween Who’s already dressing their pets up for Halloween? 🎃👻

Apparently Little Miss Riley is NOT a fan of her new Halloween cat sweater… and she made that very clear. 😹 I, on the other hand, think she looks absolutely adorable in her tiny spooky outfit!

Honestly, I’m shocked we even got the sweater on her. She’s so fast that catching her is usually the hardest part. 😂 Don’t worry though—we only kept it on long enough for a quick fit check before Halloween, then took it right back off and rewarded her with plenty of treats for being such a good girl. 🖤

I have a feeling this may be the first and last time she models her Halloween outfit this year… unless the treats convince her otherwise. 🤣

Are your pets team “dress up for Halloween” or team “absolutely not”? 🎃🐈

It may officially be September, but apparently the weather didn’t get the memo. 🤣 That’s okay though because I REFUSE to light anything but a fall scented candle from now on!

And the Fall Day candle from @ellerydesigns x @antiquecandleco is basically autumn in a jar. 🍁 It’s the perfect cozy fall scent to make your whole home smell like fall, even when it still feels like the middle of summer outside. 😂

Because if I can’t have crisp fall mornings and sweater weather yet, I can at least have a cozy home that SMELLS like fall, right?! 🍂☕️🕯️

When I spotted these adorable glass pumpkin jars in the Target Dollar Spot, I immediately knew I wanted to give one a little high-end fall makeover! And y’all… I’m OBSESSED with how this turned out. 😍

I grabbed some ColorShot spray paint in Metallic Bronze and gave the entire glass pumpkin jar a few coats, and that was literally it! Such an easy DIY fall decor project, but it completely transformed this $3 Target find.

I always love making a cute Halloween boo basket, and since we don’t have kids, obviously my cats are getting one instead! 😂🧡

I filled their cat boo basket to the brim with all their favorite treats, Halloween-themed cat toys, and even a few costumes because what’s a boo basket without some embarrassing Halloween outfits?! 👻🤣

Now, they may not appreciate the costumes… but I KNOW they’re going to love the treats and toys! 😹🐾

So take this as your sign to make a Halloween boo basket for your cat this year! It’s such a fun way to spoil your feline friend and get them in the spooky spirit. 🎃🧡

Would your cat love a boo basket or absolutely HATE the costumes? 😂
