We’re thrilled to check in today, with this little project- a fall mantel with Balsam Hill! We’re teaming up with the fab French Country Cottage to share a few of our very favorites. So be sure to check out Courtney’s beautiful space as well!
If you’ve stopped by, you probably know we’ve been working on this addition for a while now. We’re at the very end with all things projects, and one of my favorite elements of the space is this fabulous fireplace. It’s truly the focal point of the room. We love bringing something to life from nothing, and this is definitely a product of all things creativity, patience and a lot of hard work. We can’t wait to share the entire space, we’re SO close. Per the nature of construction in Nashville, we’re just waiting on a few small tweaks {and people} to pass codes. But in the meantime, nothing gave me greater pleasure than breaking away from trim and tiling and painting and piecing things together… to decorate for fall.
Sometimes it’s the little things, and after all this hard work, it was like the coronation of our fireplace. Congratulations, fireplace. Here’s an amazing garland and wreath combo to celebrate how amazing you are. Today we’re so excited to share a sneak peek of our fall mantel with Balsam Hill.
It just felt so gratifying to deck it out in some beautiful Autumn Market Foliage for so much beautiful color!
We’re not ones to do fall early, always hanging on to the final days of summer. But this definitely helped us get into the groove with all the rich color and texture. I mean who can say no to this beauty?
We love that the wreath matches, and works so perfectly in just about any space!
Speaking of wreaths, we’ll be hosting a giveaway on Instagram tonight, so please stay tuned. We’d love to see you win!
This is also a sneak peek of the beautiful products that went into bringing this entire space to life, even though its just a smidgeon of the good stuff.
We adore this tile from Jeffrey Court + this one on the mantel – available through your local Jeffrey Court showroom. I was smitten by this pattern last December before we even began, and I’m so thrilled to have it installed in our own home!
See where the wreath hangs? This actually holds our television behind the canvas, just like our great room mantel. So we can switch out art or anything else we want to display, as we wish. We get the best of both worlds, art and entertainment when we want it.
But back to the pretty stuff… We love that this wreath and garland have so much lush texture. They’re absolutely gorgeous.
Do you ever stumble across a product and feel like something was made for you? Because this one legit whispered my name from the screen when I ran across it. It was all, “Asssshhhhhllleeeeyyyyyy…. put me in your hooommmmeeeee.”
And I said, “That’s creepy, but you’re beautiful, so yes.” If you’ve been reading for a while, then you know we love color. So we were all about these bold hues for fall.
If a garland could be called luscious, this one definitely nails it in the luscious department.
What a compliment. I wish someone would call me luscious. ;}
It’s hard to believe that when we found this house, this angle that is oh so beautiful right now {if we do say so ourselves} once upon a time, looked like this. Who are we kidding? Once upon a time, this entire house was a hot mess. When I was searching for some good before photos, I got a little caught up in nostalgia. We have memories we will cherish here for the rest of our lives, and these before pics are the absolute best.
Move over, pool chair, collapsed sad kiddie pool and random grill. Make way for this incredible fireplace.
Yes, I am proud of it. People asked us once upon a time, why we were buying this house. Now they know why. And the Balsam Hill Autumn Market Foliage just made us really excited for fall. It’s the little things, y’all.
Thanks so much for tuning in for this little sneak peek today!
We couldn’t be more thrilled to share it all with you. Be sure to shop around on the Balsam Hill site for all their DROP DEAD GAWGEOUS products We do love a good seasonal find! It gets us all kinds of festive. Don’t forget to check in on Instagram later tonight for the giveaway – and see all the other little tours here – We’ll be back to update more tomorrow.
