I love fall most of all! This year I got a little excited about all of the different pumpkins. I just couldn’t resist, but I think it was worth it! Swipe over to see how cozy they look at night with the fairy lights! I catch myself coming home and sitting down on my steps to just relax. Today I almost got into a fight with squirrel over those pumpkins. It was an old fashioned, Old West stare down! Got any good hints for keeping squirrels out of your pumpkins? I have sprayed mine with clear varnish. But that silly squirrel found the one I hadn’t sprayed. 🐿🤦♀️
Do you have a space you love to work and create in? This is my home office space. Would you believe this cart started out as entry cart for coats?! We added some shelves and “voila”…is that a word?…we got a unique bookcase! We made the desk from an antique door by adding some hairpin legs and then adding a piece of glass over the top. It was so affordable! And what about the brick on the wall? It’s wallpaper!
This week’s blog hop is full of some “wonderful” fall ideas like this one from @simply2moms about “How To Transform a Dollar Store Pumpkin in 5 Easy Steps!” You definitely don’t want to miss all of the great tips, decorating ideas, and recipes this week! You can find the link in our bio above!👆🥰🏡
Enjoyed a quick get away spending time with my favorite person and doing one of my favorite things! There’s just something about flea markets, fall, and pumpkins! Found a few things for my fall decor so stay tuned for some fun ideas! It might include this old wheelbarrow that my husband so willingly rolled to the car! ❤️ He did try to sell it a few times along the way. 🤣
Pumpkins anyone? 🥰 Found this cute nursery on our little trip and THIS made me want all the colors in MY yard! What are your favorites?

It’s hard to believe that it’s almost time to break out the fall decorations!
It’s one of my favorite seasons to decorate because I get to enjoy it for almost 3 months! 😀🍂🍁
I am thinking about my tablescapes and how to change it up a little this year. How about you? Do you have any fall favorites?
Welcome to Harvesting Home! I am so glad you are here. I hope you will visit the blog for inspiration on topics about home decor(especially farmhouse style!), recipes, faith, and family! I wish I could have you over for some sweet tea or coffee and that we could just sit and visit. Maybe you will get a small glimpse into our home and life and it will be an encouragement to you! Blessings!
I am loving all of the summer color blooming at Harvesting Home! A crepe myrtle I had given up on through a drought and then a hard winter has defied the odds and is bursting with white blooms. Our Rose of Sharon bush has even filled out this year after a few years of not blooming!
We hosted a family baby shower just before our 4th grandchild was born! It was so fun to use some family favorites on the table with vintage blocks, favorite books, stuffed animals, and his first Bible. Instead of a baby book each family member wrote a message inside his little Bible. I love doing this for special, memorable gifts for weddings, baby showers, birthdays, and so much more! You can highlight favorite Bible verses and write notes of encouragement all throughout the Bible before giving it away!
Found some fun things in our treasure hunting today! Love this vintage child’s folding table and chairs! I see a project in my future! 🥰 Then I came across these crystal goblets. I have my grandmother’s crystal that is the same pattern but I only had 6! I mean... I can’t believe I randomly found just 2 of something like that! Always keep your eyes open for those special treasures!
Christmas in July has me thinking and planning for this year’s decorations! It’s my favorite season and this is one of my favorite rooms to decorate!
Looking back through photos and just realizing how precious this picture really is! I just love seeing the wonder of the celebration through a child’s eyes!
Harvesting Home is celebrating one year! I thought it was only fitting that we take a moment to look back over the last year a reflect on where we started and how it’s going. There have been lessons learned along the way and we have a lot to celebrate!
Sometimes it’s just so peaceful and calming as just a simple candle. And a battery operated one at that! 😜😂🤣
Recently, I had the opportunity to join up with some fellow bloggers to be a part of their wonderful weekly blog inspiration. I am excited to meet new friends, post ideas from Harvesting Home, and to be inspired by so many creative women! Join us every Wednesday to see what’s new or even share an idea with us! Who knows…you might even get featured like this wonderful summer cottage style bedding Let’s Add Sprinkles!

Our little firecracker is 2 today!!!
I am not sure why, but I have a new found love for collecting vintage scales! I fell in love with this one in Round Top! It’s not in perfect condition, but that’s why I love it. I left it there at first and then went back several times before I finally decided to negotiate with the seller. I think it adds so much character to my kitchen!
Sometimes new is good. For example, I like new shoes. I mean who doesn’t like new shoes! I have a closet full of them! But, there is just something about rescuing a vintage piece and giving it new life that really brings me joy.
I love that their stories are being told again in new ways like the ones that are contained within the walls of my almost 100 year old home, or the furniture cart we restored from a North Carolina furniture warehouse and it is now a coffee table, or now this fun set of vintage theater seats. It’s just fun to see it come to life again!
You can read all about the full transformation, the products I used, and see the finished project on the blog.
