Fall Is Finally Here!

And with it has emerged my inner "domestic decor" enthusiasm. =)

Since we moved into our house 6 months ago, I've yet to put any real "personal touches" on it in the way of decor accessories (hanging artwork, personal photos, accessory furniture pieces, etc.). Well, this past week, that all changed. Albeit a very small gesture in the large scheme of all that still needs to be done, I still managed to bring a small piece of Fall into our home. Here's a look at what I've done so far...

Added this Fall inspired wreath to our front door

Added this Fall inspired centerpiece and candles to our kitchen table

Added this Fall inspired decor to our fireplace mantle

Here's a close-up of the individual items on the mantle =)

Ken and I were both very excited about our first seasonal decor (I know, how sad are we, lol)! We both agree that doing so has made our house feel much more like home. Now we can hardly wait to decorate for Christmas! I promise I'll try not to lose my mind. =)

Just Call Me Charlotte...

I swear, spiders have GOT to be the official insect for the city of Nashville! Geesh! The picture above was taken from my kitchen window looking out onto our deck. Do you see how big that freakin' web is??!! Disgusting! And I shuder to think what kind of spider that could be. It's defnitely not the classic daddy long legs we've all seen at some point in our lives. Oh no, this one is the real deal. The kind with fuzz/little hairs! Eeek!

Sadly enough, this is a fair representation of exactly what Ken and I have been dealing with every since we moved into our house. There are spider webs EVERYWHERE and we occasionally find dead spiders here and there. Yuck! Can someone please tell Charlotte to come gather her friends and family and leave us alone??!! =(
