One aspect of my home that I love is my huge DIY chalkboard in my eat-in kitchen. I love that this wall holds one large decor item that I can easily change with every season or every whim. I’ll admit that I kept my spring chalkboard decor up until the first week of school when I changed it for Miss A’s first day of school picture. And then it was time to change it up for fall!
I love the simplicity of this season’s new chalkboard art. It gets me in the mood for …
Sweaters and socks …
… Lattes and Soups
Football and bonfires …
S’mores and apple cider…
… Family & Friends
Hay rides and Pumpkin patches …
Jeans and flannel …
… gratefulness and cool weather
I could go on. Have I mentioned how this is my favorite season of the year? Well, just love spring. And I think I change my mind every 6 months depending on whether it’s Spring or Fall. Haha! Check back with me in half a year, but today my favorite is Fall. 🙂 The reprieve from the hot summer (I live in Alabama, so it’s super hot and humid) gives way to the crisp, cool air, return to a routine, football season and all of it leading up to the holiday season. I just adore it every year!
Every time I see a leaf fall to the ground, it’s one little hint that it’s coming. There was even a cool, dry breeze this evening (although the rest of the week is boasting highs in the 90’s. Ugh!).
I can’t wait for the leaves to turn and to look out my back window at the vast array of color splashed all over the mountainside.

September 9, 2014 at 9:14 amThis is so cute Laura. I need to perfect my chalkboard skills so I can do some fun stuff like this. I too get a bit excited at the first sign of fall, although it us usually in October here in So. California. I can’t wait! Hope you are having a great week!
