kitchen | The Big White Farmhouse

So today’s post is about updating rooms with paint. I seem to come across this tip all the time! Paint freshens things up, makes spaces feel current and clean, and is a relatively cheap upgrade. In our home, we are focusing on three areas: the master bathroom, the kitchen, and the trimwork…all are in need of a little “refreshment”.

I’m sticking to mostly neutrals, and can I just say that picking a white is HARD! So many undertones! I’ve been staring at these sample charts all week and I think I’ve made my decision, but no promises until I get to the paint counter 🙂

Do you have a favorite neutral color for the kitchen or bathroom? Have a go-to white for trim? Please share in the comments…you just may make my life a whole lot easier! Have a good weekend, friends!

Ever so slowly, I’ve been getting out my Fall decor. Why is it taking me so long to decorate? Maybe it has something to do with those three crazy boys of mine!

Anyway, decorating this time of year is tricky for me. I tend to be really picky. I don’t really decorate for Halloween and I don’t like scary things. Which is humorous in itself, because I’ll be the first to ooh and ahh over the neighbor’s elaborate Halloween Extravaganza display. But for my own home, I think it boils down to simplicity. So here are the beginnings of my decorating so far:

Jury is still out whether I’ll keep the plush. It was mine from my childhood and the boys love it, but I think it borders on cutesy….we’ll see. I found the print as a free printable. So cute and a nod to my Texan husband who actually uses the word “y’all”!

My mantle so far. I bought the mini pumpkins at the farm where we went pumpkin picking. I’m kind-of wishing I bought all white, but I also had a little almost-3-year-old helper and he picked his favorites. So who can complain? 🙂

Our “carved” pumpkins. I HIGHLY recommend these things if you have small children or you just don’t like digging your hands in slimy pumpkins. They poke right into your pumpkin and boom, you’re done. Instant gratification and double plus: they’re super heroes! (And a Mr. Potato Head pirate just to shake things up a little)
