Good morning friends and welcome to

  ~Make Your House A Home~.

  We love this post and love sharing how we "Make Our House A Home"  First of all, I need to send a big shout out to my super cute nephew

RILEE CHRISTOPHER  

Happy 8th Birthday Buddy!  We sure love you!!!!!

AND
My Super Cute Niece
Taya Lin
Happy 3rd Birtday Tay!  We Love You Too!

~Make Your House A Home~
Once we hit August, I am ready for the FALL decorations to come out in our home and also for the wonderful smells of fall to come alive.  I Love the pumpkin spice, spiced cider and cinnamon smells.  I also begin baking a lot more when the cooler air sets in.  Fresh Bread, Banana Bread, Pumpkin Muffins, Cookies - Delicious huh??? (Just pretend that you can smell it)

My home already has a lot of fall colors, so it is very easy to add fall decor without changing too much.  When we had our retail store several years ago we carried these darling "Honey & Me" Scarecrows.  I absolutely love them!!!  They have such fun detail, especially their cute gloves.  Every time we got a shipment, I would bring one home.  I have quite a fun collection. I have several "Linda Hansen" runners (she was a crafter that sold in our store) and I LOVE them.  I have several every day runners and several for the holidays.   

 I already had this display up. 

Just added a small scarecrow, some antique gold pip berries and a sunflower.  Super easy and super cute!

 This is a dessert dish I bought at a retail store.  I added some brown vinyl around it that says Autumn Greetings.  I placed a rustic candle in the middle and filled the edges up with a fall mixture.  It looks darling and smells really good 

(remember how important the smells are!)

 This display is a bundle of Sunflowers, a scarecrow, a twig ball and some smaller sunflowers.  Love it!

This is a fun display on my piano.  I have added some wording for our blog, but still wanted to show this.  Again, check out the cute scarecrow.  I have bundles of sunflowers, fabric runners, resin pumpkins and a twig garland.  I have placed this display in front of an old rustic window.  It is hard to see in the picture below, but I have also worked clear Christmas lights throughout the flowers and twigs.  It is beautiful at night!!  I always buy extra stands of Christmas lights during the Christmas season and keep them on hand.  I use them all year round through out my house.

 The center of this display is an old Black Crate.  I placed a lamp (go roosters) on top and worked around that.  

 Isn't she cute?  Love the braids!

 This is just another simple bundle of sunflowers and a pumpkin.

I already had this tile displayed on our entertainment center, so I added some sunflowers, a twig ball and this burlap sack of pumpkins.  So easy and super cute!

I already had this Antique Gold House and Rooster, so I added this wreath with Sunflowers.  

 Another Cute Scarecrow........

Thank you for sharing part of your day with us.  

Happy Decorating!!

We love ~Making Our House A Home~

Happy Fall!!

Friday "Freebies", August 24th

Good Morning and Happy Friday.  I actually remembered it was Friday before half the day was gone today.  WooHoo for me!!!  The kids were anxiously reminding me as they were eating breakfast at 6:30 this morning, that today was Friday so they would be out of school early.  I guess that ONE day of school this week really did them in.  Good thing we have the weekend to recover - LOL 

So today is Friday and you all know what that means.  When you order our SALE ITEM today, you will receive a

FREE ITEM.  

Don't you all just love Friday's???  Today's SALE ITEM is this

 Wreath Frame With Twig Wreath 

This is an absolutely favorite of mine.  I have two displayed in my house right now and I LOVE THEM!  The Wood Wreath Frame is 24" X 24" square.  Bead board is in the back and a fun knob for hanging wreaths (or whatever you would like).  This wreath frame is available in Antique White, Black, Burnt Umber Brown & Bing Cherry Red.  

Retail Price ~$64.00 

 On Sale for ~ $32.00

 Because it is the fall season the pip berries we add to the wreaths will be fall colors.  

DON'T MISS OUT ON ORDERING THIS ITEM!!!  

Today's FREEBIE is this 

Autumn Greetings Block Set.

It would look super cute in front of your Wreath Frame and Fall Wreath!!  Great idea huh???

Late last night, Eric and I were talking.  I told him I was sad the kids were starting school today.  It must have been really late and I must have been really tired, because today I am very excited they went to school again!!!  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my children and love spending time with them...... but it was time to go back to school!!  They were driving each other crazy and we all know I don't need to be driven more crazy than I already am....  So... Woohooo for the first day of school.  I am pretty sure my kids don't read my blog, so if you could keep this post between us, I would really appreciate it!  I would hate for their feelings to be hurt - (WINK)

Saturday, August 18th

Good Morning and Welcome To ~Make Your House A Home~.  This fun post where we share different decorating ideas and crazy things about our family that ~Make Our House A Home~  I love this post because it gives me an excuse to do cute things around our home.  My favorite projects are those that I can start and finish quickly.  A few weeks ago I shared this picture from The Down To Earth Style Blog (Which I absolutely love).  I LOVE her bedroom and especially love the afghan that is on her bed.

   I started the afghan and promised to share when I finished it. Well..... It's done.  I learned this stitch from my mom and love it.  It is a quick stitch and came together quite fast.  We take Sunday's off from working in our shop (which is so needed after 6 days out there), so I spent a few Sunday afternoons working on it.   This afghan adds a great softness to the already soft bed and I love it!!  Check It Out.....   

I added a little fringe on the end.  Love It!!

  Aren't these pillows super great?  A great friend of mine pieced these quilt pieces together for me a couple of years ago.  I couldn't decide if I wanted them framed or made into pillows, so I have been hanging on to them for a while.  After much thought (and great advice from another friend - Linda) I made pillows!  They are so cute and am so grateful Rachel shared her talent with me.  Thanks a bunch Rachel!!

 One of the greatest blessings that come from our business is all the people we meet that share the same passion we do.  I have a dear friend (Miss Amy!) who eats, drinks and sleeps decorating too.  We love the same Rustic, Country, Primitive feel and decorate very similar.  I asked her if we could share pictures of her home on our blog.  She is working on a few more rooms and then she said she would share!!!  WooHoo, I can't wait!!  

Amy texted me a few weeks ago and asked if I wanted to run to town with her.  She had to pick up some fabric for some curtains she was making for her children's bedrooms.  I was already heading into town, so I met her and we had a blast.  While looking for curtain fabric, she spotted this darling Rooster fabric.  I just couldn't help myself.  I bought a couple yards, knowing I could come up with something to make.  I'm not a seamstress, but I can make pillows.  So that is what I did.  I already had two old pillow forms, so I sewed a cover for the pillows and Tadaa!!!  

 Then I had a big problem...... Where was I going to put them?  We have a smaller home and don't have a lot of room that isn't already taken up by something "CUTE".   So I placed the pillows on two of my kitchen chairs.  They look perfect there!!  This was a VERY In-Expensive project and VERY Quick!  Remember, I Love those QUICK Ideas. 

I made a delivery this week to another great friend Laura (Hi Laura).  Her house is beautiful and has such a warm, welcoming feel to it.  I also asked her to share some pictures of her home with all of us and she said ok!  Another Big WooHoo!!! (Get excited, these two homes are beautiful).   I noticed a set of canisters on her kitchen counter.  She told me she has had them for several years in her basement and decided to spray them so they would match her kitchen.  That got me thinkin'........  I have a set of canisters my sweet sister Tori gave me when we got married ~ all those many years ago.  They don't match the decor in my home anymore, but they are one of my priceless treasures.  I took them out of storage and Eric SPRAYED them Antique Gold for me. 

I LOVE THEM!!!  Eric also added a stain finish over the Antique Gold which added so much.  This only took about 10 minutes from start to finish!  I would love to add some burlap or vinyl onto the front, but thought I would enjoy them just plain for a while.  Thanks for the inspiration Laura!

Another quick thing I did in our room was re-arrange some furniture so I could have a reading corner.  I have never been a big reader, but have realized I need some quiet time to process my thoughts and enjoy the peaceful feelings that come when we allow them too.  This is an old Rocking Chair I picked up at a thrift store.  I brought it home, sanded it down and painted it black.  A little distressing and clear coat and I have a thinking chair.  I really should call it my "Time Out" chair.  I would love to be put in "Time Out" Everyday!  I placed a quilt over the edge, a basket on the floor by the chair for my crocheting & books and also a rustic screen door to the side.  I have hung a round twig wreath on the screen door with a piece of fabric.  I love it.  It is very simple and peaceful.

I added a cute frame of my children on my night stand (which I can see from my "Time Out" area) and I Love it.  During those quite times, I am reminded of what really matters!!

Thanks again for sharing part of your day with us here at On The Avenue.  Have a wonderful weekend!!
