Festive Dog Bandana DIY - The Adored Abode

Festive Dog Bandana DIY

I had been wanting to buy holiday bandanas in a plaid print for my doggies, Pete and Susse, but instead of buying them I got creative and made a plan to DIY them! I have so many larger wrap scarves. One in particular is very festive red plaid print, and is also really large. So large that I felt like it was swallowing me every time I wore it. I had the idea if I cut it in half length…

Warm & Cozy Holiday Home || The Adored Abode

Simple, Warm & Cozy Holiday Home

With each passing year I want to simplify more and more. That applies to my holiday décor too. I want to create simple, but cozy spaces. The more I have in my house means there is more to clean and upkeep. When it comes to holiday décor I really do love to make our home feel festive, but I really focus more on festive touches that still have a big impact – think rich greenery, faux fur, velvet, and twinkle…

Thanksgiving Table with Fall Tones

We are hosting Thanksgiving this year and I can’t help but think ahead to what I want my table to look like! I gravitate towards a simpler table scape. I’m all about creating a casual and welcoming environment when we host. Pretty and seasonal, but not overly fussy. This is a simple table scape style you can use when hosting anything from casual gatherings to a bigger event like Thanksgiving. I hope this provides inspiration as you start thinking about…

2 Week Challenge – Dining Room Refresh

We are hosting Thanksgiving this year and it is just the motivation I needed to show our dining room a little bit of love. It's one of the first rooms you see when you walk in our house and to me it feels the least like "us". This room wasn't next on our renovation list because really all it needs is a few cosmetic touches. Down the road I would like to add some interest to the walls in the…

Simple Halloween Decor & How I Make Our Home Feel Like Fall

I am all about making home decor simple. Both simple visually and simple to execute. But simple doesn't have to mean boring! Showing a change in season isn't all about seasonal decor for me, it's more about how our home feels. For fall it's using richer colors, fuzzy throws, glowing candles, and the low fall sunlight streaming in the windows. I still add a few seasonal decor touches, but I want my home to feel like the season too. I…

Front Porch Refresh - The Adored Abode

Front Porch Refresh

The makeover of the exterior of our house has begun! We had a few trees removed a couple of weeks ago and it really opened up the front of our house. Now that you can actually see our front porch better it highlighted that our porch was looking a little lackluster so I decided it was time for a refresh! As a reminder this is where we started 3 years ago. Lots of overgrown bushes, a bright red front door…

Etsy Printable Art Round-up - The Adored Abode

Printable Art: Etsy Round-up

We moved into our house 3 years ago and it took me a while to hang anything on the walls. We had art from our previous home, but some of it just felt like it didn't fit with our new house and I am really trying to be more mindful of items I purchase - rather than buying things to fill the space (I used to be really bad about this, slowly getting better) I want to make sure we…

We’ve had our cream area rug for 2 years now. During this time I have received a number of questions about it. How’s it holding up? Is it pet friendly? Would you buy it again? I thought it would be helpful to write it all out in a post. WHAT WE LIKE I’ll start out by saying we are not easy…

3 Tips to Freshen Your Home Decor for Free

You don’t have to spend money to freshen up your home décor. Though I do love to buy new, pretty things for my house, I also am trying to practice mindfulness in what I buy and how much I buy. We have plenty to fill our home for which I am very grateful and am trying to focus on that instead of feeling the need to buy new. I have a few tactics I’ve been leaning on to make the…
