{ Farmhouse Style Quaint Fall Entryway Decor }

Hey guys and happy Monday!! I hope you guys had a gorgeous weekend! Ours was spent doing nothing out of the norm & that was actually kind of a treat in itself!! Mark worked mostly & I got a bunch of things switched out, freshened up & just ENJOYED my weekend...For someone with OCD & that creative mind I literally am always wound up haha! This Michigan weather has been the most perfect too these  past few days. I'm so excited to show you guys what I've been working on & some new things up & coming!! Something about the fall is so cozy & magical..I swear as soon as fall hits the inspiration starts flowing & our home becomes an even cozier sanctuary for us..Okay, enough with fall loving, but sorry today's post is also fall related hahah..I hope you guys don't mind all these fall posts ..I promise though today's post is fun & all about our quaint "small" front entryway styled with some unique, cozy & festive items!!

 

I've been into really using just stuff I already have on hand, or actually use day-to-day!! I learned that along time ago in this little "blogland" & decorating/designing etc.. Try to use things you normally use in everyday life for accents or decor!!  I have noticed myself implementing that while styling or staging a space. I used my bags I actually use a lot & just placed some "gathered" style fall items inside the leather tote! The pop of greenery was nice against the neutral palette in this space!!

 

I added the bucket of pumpkins literally right before photographing...Sometimes you just need a little something!! The pumpkins are from +Michaels Stores  & the buckets are from Ollies!! I got the buckets for $5  a few weeks ago & snagged two!!

 

I love these mini burlap pumpkins from Dollar Tree & decided to use a few in this space! I like how they're simple & small enough to just add that bit of festivity to this area. Our front entryway isn't the smallest, but also definitely not large...I do like how it's  a bit separated from directly into the living room, but the "step-up" ledge hinders benches & bottom footing...With that being said, this space is still super functional & we use it everyday!

 

The greenery is new & from +IKEA USA 

  

The crate was a free DIY from a local shop & the vintage brown glass bottles are also thrifty finds. The white pitcher is form +HomeGoods .

 

I hope you guys loved this space! It's super cozy, but also very functional & styled so simply for that more "practical" home entry space! 

Do you guys decorate your entrance for fall? What kind of things do you like to use?? 

Wishing you all a great week!

What do you guys think about these items I put together for our fall bedroom? Anything you like to add/use when the fall months hit? Feel free to leave me comments below or connect with me via my social media links { below} !! 

Wishing you all a happy & healthy Wednesday!

{ Cottage Style Cozy F A L L Bedroom Decor! }

Today's post is going to be short & sweet because today was spent quite different than most! My husband got home early-ish from work, I actually got ready haha & we headed off to pick my gram up for our belated anniversary dinner at the Cheesecake Factory! Honestly it was the most relaxing, fun & delicious dinner night! The jeep ride out to the Cheesecake Factory was so calming with the breezy cool fall weather & the restaurant was so much fun & bonus we got to enjoy tons of GRANDMA TIME!! Lately I've been thinking how short life is & I need to spend time with family more..I'm guilty of letting other things get in the way of simple family down time. 

Anyways today's post is all about warm & cozy decor for the bedroom!!! As soon as our super breezy 60 degree weather hits here in Michigan I love sprucing our bedroom up with some cozy touches!! Our room is definitely our sanctuary & a place we like to cozy up & refresh/ talk about our day or even just snugg the pibbs! Come see some of the goods I put together for a cozy cottagey fall bedroom! P.S. all these items can be found at your local chain stores like +Target , +Walmart , +HomeGoods, +IKEA USA   etc..

 

I love the orange, tans & mixed in grays for fall! They work with basically any decor & they can warm up any space easily! I'm obsessed the gray/orange combo in the throw above & the storage containers with a bit of gray texture & the straps! The pillows below are so neutral, but offer that cottage/ farmhouse appeal with a fall flair. I mentioned this before, but I crave candles, lights & that warm ambiance during the fall months, so of course I added some neutral vanilla candles. These can be purchased for cheap in packs +IKEA USA . The wreath adds that bit of greenery every space needs & this basically tops off the items  I like to use to warm up a bedroom space.

 

What do you guys think about these items I put together for our fall bedroom? Anything you like to add/use when the fall months hit? Feel free to leave me comments below or connect with me via my social media links { below} !! 

Wishing you all a happy & healthy Wednesday!

{ Simple & Rustic Fall Farmhouse Kitchen Counter Decor }

Today was our 7th anniversary here -->Our 7th Year!  & my husband surprised me with staying home majority of the day! I woke up to him kissing my face & playing with my braid which I was ecstatic about since he works A LOT!! We spent all morning snuggled in bed with the gorgeous 60 degree weather breeze blowing in, & the sunlight drenching our vanilla sheets! Seriously the simplest things make me the happiest! Although around four he did have to leave until about 8, so I decided to wash the house down & of course style something!! That something just so happened to be our kitchen counter/sink area with some cute rustic fall treasures! Mark brought home a huge tin full of goodies the other day & I decided to fill the sink & wash them all...I had no plans of styling this area in the kitchen, but after cleaning I of course had tooo haha! I ended up using a bunch of the thrifty little treasures & just some basic neutral items for fall!

 

 

These free dried grass bundles right outside our little suburban cottage that got me thinking about some fall kitchen decor..

 

These Schuler crocks were my biggest inspiration! My lovely hubby brought quite a few home & I loved the tan & brown neutral ones for this little chippy white stand!  The glass bottle & scale were also free vintage finds! The tiny white ceramic gourds are from +Walmart 

 .

 

I wanted a pop of color so I used this black farmhouse style basket from +Michaels Stores  & placed a green & tan tea towel with some apples stacked in it! The milk bottles are from +Hobby Lobby  & the larger brown glass milk bottles are vintage.

 

I love how neutral, yet fall-ish this space looks! Our kitchen area is pretty simple, but these farmhouse goods added that cozy vintage charm we love! The cider & donuts sign is a DIY here -->Weathered Wood Mill Sign

 

I shared on my Instagram here -->TheQuaintSanctuaryIG  about this thrifty dried grass bundle! I use these from outside our front door every year & they add that fall touch for free!!!

 

The hanging general store sign is a DIY here -->Hanging General Store Sign

 

These were dollar pumpkins from last year that I spray painted. They worked in this space this year, so I used them again.. The lamps was a DIY search blog under { Glass Lamp Makeover }.

What do you guys think about these new treasures & these simple neutral fall touches?

Wishing you all a happy & healthy Tuesday!

{ Our 7th Year as Husband & Wife. }

Hey guys!!! I hope you all had a lovely weekend enjoying the fall weather & some  festivities!! We spent the weekend enjoying some down time together celebrating our 7TH YEAR OF MARRIAGE! I seriously can't believe this is already our 7th year married..I mean where does time go? Again, with the time thing..it makes me sad that 7 years have passed already, but they've been the 7 BEST years..not perfect, but ours as one! We spent the weekend with a long drive in the country eating some amazing cider & donuts, cheese fries & getting stung by a bee!! I mean it wouldn't be us without hiccups haha...I haven't been stung since I was 5, killed two while sipping cider & boom a HUGE one got me while taking pictures down the road at a little farm stand haha..#payback! Anyways I thought I would give you guys a little look into our life with some random facts that maybe you don't already know about us!!! I'm not one of those bloggers to share super personal information/stories etc.. for posts, but today is an exception here on TQS!! I've put together some pictures from way back when { sorry about the quality} & also some from this past fall weekend of us celebrating! Come learn a bit more about our crazy little love story that started on 5.3.07 &officiated on 9.26.09 !

 

1. We met at the age of 8. We reconnected at the age of 16 through mutual friends who were dating { who each were our good friends }. At the age of 19 we met back up again on a whim & have been together ever since. We then pieced parts together that we had known each other since we were actually 8 through family & an old neighbor!!! 

 

{ 19 year old babies }

2. We moved in with each other just 3 months after dating { we stayed in my parents basement & lived off of $1 meals for 7 months }. Bought our first place { condo } at the age of 20. This is where the DIY/ renovating love started haha ;). We are now both entrepreneurs in the home business/ field...

3. We were engaged 2 years after dating. He proposed in front of my whole entire family under my grandparents huge cottage Christmas tree { my favorite place } ..on one knee with a custom ring & all!!!!  

 

 4.  We married at the age of 22, and share our wedding date with my late grandpa's { pappa} birthday!

5. Our wedding was 1940's vintage Tiffany & Co. theme...#2009.  Our wedding song was " My Best Friend" by Tim McGraw. We honeymooned for a week in New York City & basically lived a fairy-tale & didn't want to come home hahaha! For our 1 year of marriage we revisited the country club we married at & had the same room we were married in set up for a dinner for 2 in front of the fireplace with a slice of cake we froze from our wedding. Mark surprised me with a mix of all the songs from our wedding day such as Etta James playing while we dined. We also revisited NYC for 3 days :).

6. We have survived many trial & tribulations together...One of the least heaviest ones would be surviving a hurricane in 2008 for my 21st birthday while in Florida eek...We both also have scars from multiple surgeries ranging from a car accident to dog bites.

 

7. Things we love: trucks/jeeps, Christmas, rescue animals, learning sign language, NYC, home stuff, country car rides & Arabic cuisine.

 

{ 9.26.09 }

 We always say to each other that we are the opposite sex version of one another. We're that couple that finishes each others sentences & yet can be silent too all while understanding each others thoughts. We aren't perfect, but perfect is boring right?! 

Here's to another lifetime of love with you--- Mark, the one who centers me, loves me, SPOILS ME, comforts me, allows my shy/insecure side to fade & most of all you make my heart happy in ways I never thought were possible. You have made my darkest days light & always with your overwhelming sense of humor, joy & genuine happy demeanor. You're the craziest & most fun adventure I've ever been on. Thank You for making me your wife- I'm forever grateful to call you my husband. XOXO

Thanks for coming to read more about us.

Wishing you all a happy Monday!!
