Welcome to my fall living room here at Honey Bee Homestead! We are so happy to be in our new home that we built, out on our land in the country. Life has felt slower and calmer and quieter and seeing the stars so well at night has been the cherry on top. I can hear birds chirping, cattle mooing, the train passing, chickens clucking, and a neighbor’s tractor every now and then. I wish we had done this years ago but we moved around while my hubby climbed the corporate ladder. I’m just glad to finally be here and living this dream of homesteading. I get to share all the pretty blue velvet pumpkins here in my fall living room with you today so come on in, y’all!

A couple of days ago I shared my Blue Velvet Pumpkin Fall Table & Dining Room Reveal. I carried that same gorgeous blue velvet pumpkin scheme into the living room.

If you follow have been following me over the years, you know that my very favorite velvet pumpkins ever are from the artisans at Hot Skwash. They are DIVINE!

Fall Mantel With Velvet Pumpkins

Each Hot Skwash pumpkin is made with a real pumpkin stem that they hand-pick from their pumpkin fields. It gives them that real-life look.

To create an arrangement of pumpkins on my mantel, I start off using a larger pumpkin with two smaller pumpkins on each end. I used Lake, Ivory, and Cream pumpkins for this year’s color palette.

Then you just slowly work your way into the center of the mantel, using various sizes and colors.

It is sometimes difficult to find the fall foliage you envision in your mind. I knew I wanted something very light and not distracting, as to take away from the 3 different colors of velvet pumpkins on my mantel. I wanted something white-ish to blend in with my mantel. It needed to compliment and not distract. So I found these white bamboo leaf stems at Hobby Lobby and sprayed them with this gold glitter spray.

It was exactly what had in my mind! Just make sure to really hide most of the stem under the pumpkins so that you just notice the foliage.

Fun fact: My dream home was to have a one-story home and not bigger than what we had last. We gave up a larger custom home in a gated community on an acre of land to downsize just a little and buy land where we could homestead and do whatever we wanted. We only have stairs behind the kitchen going up to the bonus room above the garage. I just absolutely LOVE IT!!! Each hallway next to our built-ins leads to the kids’ bedrooms on one side and to our master bedroom on the other. I designed this house, every square foot, and I’m loving the flow and layout of every space.

I’ve always loved a nice open-concept floor plan. While I miss having a kitchen nook separate from a formal dining room sometimes, this layout with a dining space to the side and flowing into the living room has made entertaining really easy.

We purchased this gorgeous rug right before we sold our last home. So it came with us and it looks even more beautiful with this white oak flooring!  And, of course, Gracie came too!

I purchased this new coffee table to bring in a warmer natural element into the room but it felt too warm so I added a white-wash (white paint and a little water) and just painted light streaks on it with a paint brush and let dry. It made a huge difference. Why didn’t I do a before and after picture?

I also painted this tray (was gold) to match the gorgeous blue buffet in the background. See THIS POST to see the easy recipe for my favorite french blue paint. I couldn’t find one I liked after sampling at least a dozen so I mixed my own.

Someone likes the camera haha. I used a buffalo plaid throw blanket on my sofas to feel a little more like fall and these pillows (here and here) were the perfect pair together.

Have you started your fall decor yet? Down here in The South, some people are just now starting to decorate for fall because it still feels like summer. Don’t forget to make sure you have plush pillows like some velvet for the fall and winter, add some luxurious velvet pumpkins (I highly suggest you order from Hot Skwash) to your mantel and coffee table, and switch out your throw blankets for something warmer and cozier.

The post Blue Velvet Pumpkin Fall Living Room appeared first on Summer Adams.

Happy Fall, dear friends! For those who’ve been following along and have been a reader of my blog for the last 9 years, you’ve noticed 2 things. First, you know that I’ve taken the last couple of years off from the blog and social media to focus on my health and on my family after a big move across the country. Second, you know that we’ve made our very last move into our new home we built here in the country on some land we bought last year so that we could homestead. It’s our “forever home” and feels like this land was saved just for us. I started beekeeping and am slowly building my apiary. I can’t wait to share this adventure here on the blog. But first….I’m revealing the very first space of our new home with you. This is my blue velvet pumpkin fall table and also our dining room reveal. Thanks for being here!

Blue Velvet Pumpkin Fall Tablescape with Hot Skwash Pumpkins

After many beautiful past collaborations with Hot Skwash, I knew that our new home needed a fresh new tablescape for fall with new velvet pumpkins. Daria, owner of Hot Skwash, and her artisans make the most beautiful velvet pumpkins. They even go out into the fields and pick real pumpkin stems for that signature finish.

After painting this vintage buffet the prettiest french blue, I really wanted to do a table with blue velvet pumpkins mixed in.

I chose to do a beautiful runner down the center of my dining table with blue velvet pumpkins in different sizes, starting with a jumbo “Lake” pumpkin and then choosing a few smaller sizes. I also chose “Ivory Silk” and “Cream Silk” pumpkins in various sizes.

For the place setting, I used these gold chargers I already owned, as well as these dessert plates I’ve used in other tablescapes (like this light aqua pumpkin tablescape), and then these beautiful scalloped dinner plates I found last month at HomeGoods (similar HERE). I I added gold-trimmed wine glasses, ivory ruffle napkins, and elegant gold flatware.

I wanted to tie in a little french blue to coordinate with the beautiful french blue buffet. I tore some french blue silk fabric I had in my stash and tied bows around the flatware and then cut off the tails. It gave it a lovely little touch and something I hadn’t done before. It’s definitely giving some Bridgerton or Love Shack Fancy vibes. I love bows so much, don’t you?!

Finding a pretty cache pot or vase or tourine is always perfect for holding a velvet pumpkin with fall foliage.

I grabbed a ton of the same cream seed eucalyptus stems that I used on the ends of the pumpkin table runner that I added here in my large mother of pearl ginger jar. Two to three velvet pumpkins is the perfect accent to any ginger jar on a buffet or side table or countertop.

These 3″ mini pumpkins are just precious and the perfect addition to any vignette or on the center of each plate.

To add just a touch of sparkle, I used glitter spray to my fall foliage. It’s hard to see in photographs, but in person it looks really lovely. I also sprayed the white magnolia stems with glitter as well.

New Dining Room Details

My Favorite French Blue Paint For The Buffet – A Homemade Recipe

As I mentioned, the buffet was a vintage piece I found. The color was custom because I tried at least a dozen colors of everyone’s favorite french blue paint colors and I didn’t like a single one of them. So I took three of my colors and mixed them. Here’s my recipe:

8 oz of Benjamin Moore Boothbay Gray at 50%, 8 oz Behr English Hollyhock from Home Dept, 2 oz extra white. Mix well. Satin finish. You can double or triple the recipe but this was plenty for my buffet. I used over half of it and then had some leftover.

New Dining Table – Vivien 95″ Table

White Chairs with Cream Fabric – Facebook Marketplace find until I find something I’m really in love with. I plant to get some tufted end chairs.

Mirror – Large Gleaming Primrose Mirror

Floral Art – found at Ross

Bar Cart – 3-tiered Madison Park Cart

Curtain Rods, Curtain Rings, Luxury Curtains at an affordable price

Tiered Dining Chandelier 

Please consider ordering some of your own velvet pumpkins from Hot Skwash for your fall tables and fall decor. Now is the PERFECT time to place an order for an elegant Thanksgiving table if you’re hosting, and even if you’re not. Each piece is really special and they last for years! My husband will tell you we have lots of boxes of pumpkins in the garage and they are all in excellent shape 5+ years and 2 moves later.

The post Blue Velvet Pumpkin Fall Table and Dining Room Reveal appeared first on Summer Adams.

I couldn’t be more excited to share this Halloween table with you today.  Last year’s Halloween table was so chic and had pink and I couldn’t have loved it more but this year it doesn’t have any pink and I’m still obsessed!  Here’s my elegant Halloween table with snakeskin print and velvet pumpkins.

This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience. Click here to read my full disclosure policy and here for my privacy & cookies policy.  All opinions are my own.

I love setting a table and my fall and Halloween tables using Hot Skwash pumpkins are so fun to create! 

I love creating a runner down the table and playing around with the placement of the pumpkins and staggering them all until they look right. This time I added some black branches sticking out the ends and loved how that looked.

I started from the center, with my jumbo ivory Hot Skwash pumpkin, and then worked outwards. I found this cute black hair clip with feathers (and clipped off the dotted net part) and placed it on the pumpkin for a fun accessory.  It was so inexpensive and so darling.

We used other ivory, bone, bone with rhinestones, and black-gold pumpkins in various sizes (3″, 4″, 5″, 6″, and 8″). See them all HERE, Then, the special pumpkin….

That snakeskin sequin pumpkin with black feathers!!! Swoon!!! I’m sooo in love with it!  I love snakeskin print so much and always have and it’s back and especially hot this year and I’m thrilled. I have a lot of snakeskin print everything in my print so I was thrilled to have Daria make a couple of these for my Halloween table!

A few months ago I came across these darling and inexpensive black and gold chargers and knew they’d be perfect for my Halloween table!  I found the plates at HomeGoods eons ago and still love them. Check out these or these halloween plates too, as they’d be a really darling idea!

I also found these gold rhinestone spider napkin rings at the same time and bought them too. They were too gorgeous and so inexpensive.

Ok two things….First, this dress is under $50 and looks like something Audrey Hepburn would have worn.  I accidentally found it while looking for a dress for a friend.  So I bought it in 2 colors and I’m trying not to buy it in several other colors…ha!  It’s soooo classy and flattering.  Notice the snakeskin print shoes!  Perfect for this table, right?!

Second…you know when you feel like something’s missing from your tablescape and then it hits you and you know you have to go digging through boxes to find it and really don’t want to because you’re in a dress? Haha!  Well, that was me but I went and dug and found the Halloween box with my black crows anyway.

It’s a perfect fit, right?!  It’s exactly what this black branch needed!

This crow is somewhat of a partier.

EEK!  I’m sooooo excited for Halloween!!!  Are you?! I’ve already had guests sit down at this table and they DIED over this presentation! There’s still time to order everything and set a spooktacular Halloween table this year!

This week is Fall Home tour week! All week long talented bloggers are sharing their homes dressed and ready for fall to help inspire you with all kinds of ideas for your own fall decor. A huge thanks to Krista at The Happy Housie for organizing us and hosting this tour!  Today, I’m so glad to be sharing my elegant fall home tour with you and whether you’re new here or you’re a returning reader, I’m grateful you’re here and hope you’ll come back time and time again!

Elegant Fall Entry

Welcome to my home!  I’m using warm and cool tones together…colors I’ve never used before and I’m soooo loving it! I went to the Hot Skwash design studio in Tigard, Oregon (just across the river) and sat with Daria to design and plan what we wanted to do for my entry.

But let me pause for a brief moment and let me point out my new favorite moto jacket.  It’s less than $50 and this khaki color is so gorgeous right?!  The quality is beautiful and fits so nicely.  Just perfect with the fall, especially layered over with this tank I purchased over the summer (sold out but similar look here). It would look cute over so many different tops.

Back to my pumpkins…

We chose to use these colors for our entry color scheme: Spa, Wedgewood, Latte, and Bone. 
To see the different sizes they’re made in and decide what sizes you want, you can click here.

A few weeks ago, I found these gorgeous gold eucalyptus stems, golden glittered faux money plant stems, and glittered beaded branches to replace all the cherry blossom stems that were in my ginger jars for spring and summer.

We added a couple of 4″ beaded pumpkins to adorn the arrangement and add a little something special.

I had a few gold ferns from last year’s stash as well I threw on the ends.

At the top of my staircase is a beautiful jumbo feathered pumpkin in “Cashew” and a 5″ Spa-colored pumpkin next to it.

I love this tall gold lantern.

I remembered I bought a dozen gold candle wreaths from World Market on clearance last year at the end of the season for less than a dollar each.  They were perfect for the tall gold lantern below and for this candle on the table also.  These jumbo velvet pumpkins with feathers from Hot Skwash are delicious, aren’t they?!

These chinoiserie panels make me swoon every time I walk up these stairs!

I love using furs in the fall and winter when decorating.  Throw a fur throw over a bench with a trio of pumpkins and it’s a perfect vignette. Easy peasy.

More pumpkins in Bone, Spa, and Wedgewood.

I love this view!  When we first moved in and received this chandelier from Bellacor, all 4 feet of it took my breath away. It’s coastal glam vibe with the mother of pearl, white wooden beads, and champagne finish was so perfect.  Every time we walk up and down the stairs or in and out the door, it makes me smile.  And now that it’s fall and the entry is adorned with pumpkins…I’m smiling extra big!

 

 

Elegant Fall Living Room

Last week I shared my Elegant Fall Mantel & Living Room In Gray & Gold tour.

I collaborated with Hot Skwash again this year to create the most beautiful scene of pumpkins on my coffee table and on my mantel.  Please click HERE to see my full post on my living room details.

 

Elegant Fall Kitchen

I originally had a few small pops of blush in my white and gold kitchen for fall but after setting my fall table, it just didn’t work with the blush in the background so I took it out.  So, white and gold it is and I’m loving it!  I have plenty of it, that’s for sure!

 

 

I cut some of this new beaded garland (I’ve bought a bunch of it for the holidays…it’s so pretty) and put it in this snack bowl with the pumpkin and loved the way it looked.

 

Find pieces, like cutting boards and metal wreaths or stands, that you love and layer them.

 

 

I used some of that beaded garland here too on this jumbo pumpkin by Hot Skwash. I love it!

 

The beautiful ornate hurricane on my mirrored tray.  It was a fun find at Ross. Can you believe it?! I just love it!

 

 

 

 

Elegant Fall Table

Earlier this week I shared my Elegant Fall Table in Gold, Ivory & Soft Aqua.

You can read that entire post for more details and to see the collection of limited edition Hot Skwash pumpkins here and here) that I used for this table, as well as all of the other pieces to create this look.

It was also a treat to add these gorgeous Aquarius goblets from my friends at Patina Vie.  I love creating fall tables with all of these beautiful details!

  

Elegant Fall Master Bedroom

I kept my blush pink velvet bedding for fall and winter and faux fur accents.

I brought my blush pink velvet pillows, also by Hot Skwash, from last year’s fall table and used them up in my room (and also Brooklyn’s room which I haven’t photographed yet).

I also brought up a few ivory pumpkins.  I thought they’d look so cute on my blush pink ottoman.

 

 

These mini pumpkins with Swarovski crystals are the prettiest for just the smallest, prettiest fall accents around my room!

In my sitting chair corner, it’s the coziest little seat with faux fur and pink pumpkins and I keep my favorite slippers there.  This is where I often sit to write in my gratitude journal.  There’s a lot of reflection that happens here!  And this sweater, by the way, is so soft and comfy for fall and winter!  I love the camel and blush colors in it too!

 

Pretty pumpkins adorn either end of my dresser and I love waking up and seeing them all each morning!

 

 

Each nightstand also has pink pumpkins.  I didn’t photograph my chaise lounge here in my bedroom!  But…there are some on my tray there too so I’ll need to update this post with a picture.  I just love the pumpkins!   I literally place them wherever I can in the bedroom and I’m so grateful my husband doesn’t mind all the pink because I sure enjoy it!

The post Elegant Fall Home Tour appeared first on Summer Adams.

We had a cooler summer this year in the Pacific Northwest and just when we got a couple weeks of hot weather and got to explore some really fun waterfalls, it was time for school to start. I didn’t think I was ready for fall.  But then I started getting out all of my fall decor and putting things together, lit a yummy fall candle and then that all changed.  I’m ready now …ha!  The timing couldn’t be better because my friends at Nick & Alicia are hosting a tour today of beautiful fall tablescapes and I’m sharing my elegant fall table in gold, ivory and soft aqua.

Hot Skwash Velvet Pumpkins

Just as I did last year in my blush pink pumpkin fall table and also my black leopard and pink pumpkin Halloween table, I teamed up with my friend Daria, founder and designer behind Hot Skwash, and created some beautiful pumpkins for this year’s fall table.

This (jumbo size) pumpkin above was made in a specialty fabric, custom for this fall table and was really the inspiration.  I wanted it to be ivory and gold with this large beauty as the star of the show. You can find it in an 8″ size as a limited edition.  It’s a very soft aqua with the most gorgeous gold floral design. When Daria showed it to me, I fell head-over-heels in love with it!

We also used a custom fabric to add a couple of 6″ and 8″ champagne-colored pumpkins to the runner of ivory pumpkins.  To finish, we added a couple of 4″ bone pumpkins (I placed on the ends) and then 2 more 3″ bone pumpkins with Swarovski crystals.  To get this look, you can find this limited edition grouping of pumpkin in a trio HERE. Please contact Daria regarding any custom requests or questions.

I topped off each little plate with a mini 2″ pumpkin with Swarovski crystals.  Wouldn’t that be a fun plate setting to sit down to?  I know all my girlfriends and all the girls in my family especially would appreciate the extra little sparkle on each plate!

Patina Vie Goblets

If you remember my fall table last year, I had the prettiest blush and gold goblets from Patina Vie that went beautifully with the blush pink velvet pumpkins.  So this year, they sent me their gorgeous Aquarius Goblets to complement my beautiful soft aqua pumpkin and….WOW!  Are they the perfect pair or what?!

They always have the prettiest glassware so I love browsing their collection when creating a new tablescape!  I just love this color.  I’ve never been one to do traditional fall colors, even though I LOVE THEM, but I really enjoy picking different color palettes and playing around with them.

I never thought I’d do this soft aqua for fall and I’m so glad I did.  It’s so soothing and so elegant in my dining area.  

Because I love mixing old and new…I have vintage gold-rimmed milk glass plates and vintage flatware, both which I have found from several sellers and am linking below in my “Shop The Post” section.

Gold Faux Stems

You saw these stems on my.mantel in my Living Room Tour and you’ll see these stems in my entry as well (coming to the blog on Thursday so I’ll update this link when that goes live).  A couple of weeks ago I walked into a store and found several different gold stems I loved (I’d looked everywhere) and there they were.  So, I actually bought them online first and then picked them up in the store and then bought 4 times as many. I’m glad I did and trust me, you’ll love them as much as I do and find a use for them everywhere this holiday season just as I am.  I used the golden faux eucalyptus spray and golden glittered faux money plant spray here. But get the glittered beaded branch too because it’s even prettier in person (you’ll see those in my entry).

By the way….Still looking for the perfect buffet table to fit this space!
(See more about these candle wreaths here.)

Also, in my next tour, I’ll be sharing more into my. kitchen!

The post Elegant Fall Table In Gold, Ivory & Soft Aqua appeared first on Summer Adams.

Today I’m excited to be joining a group of over 35 talented bloggers who are also touring through part of their home ready for fall. Welcome to those of you coming from Amber Tysl’s blog! Wasn’t her fall decor so beautiful?! I always love seeing what she’s done!

 I’ve had sooooo much to share with you already this fall (see here).  I also shared my first fall tablescape earlier this week.  Today I get to reveal my master bedroom updates I made for fall and winter. Come take a look!

This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience. Click here to read my
full disclosure policy and here for my privacy & cookies policy.  All opinions are my own.

Here’s what my bedroom looked like BEFORE…

Above is what my bedroom looked like earlier this spring and summer.

Then I decided to make another summer update to my bedroom…because I felt like it. Isn’t that always why?  I wanted to do something fun, something different.  Those palm pillows were so fabulous and we were getting ready to leave to Hawaii with our kids and besties.

I loved bringing in more blush but this time it needed to be a bit more elegant and cozy.

Collaborating on my bedroom with Pom Pom At Home

My friends from Pom Pom At Home asked if I’d like to collaborate on some bedding for this season and I gladly agreed, as I’ve always loved their brand.  Everything they have is so soft and feminine and elegant.  They are known for their high-end quality and luxurious look.  I couldn’t think of anyone better to dress my bed for the fall and winter season.

Looking through all of their beautiful bedding, I was drawn right away to the Grace Collection in the pink champagne color, with it’s feminine embroidery and scalloped edges.  It’s more of a peachy-blush and I love it.  Downstairs I have more of a mauve-blush so I like having some warm pinks up here as opposed to the cool pinks downstairs.  I love all shades of pink and love layering them too.

The Grace Pillowcases are stunning and I love the way they drape over the edge of the bed.

The matching euro shams from the Grace Collection are so beautiful with the lace overlay.  I love pretty details, don’t you?!

I’ll be sharing some more pictures of this bedding soon but for now, I folded the duvet cover over and laid it on the end of my bed.  Since it’s fall, I love the sheet and white coverlet on me at night for a couple of hours and then as the house cools down a bit more, I end up pulling the duvet up over me.

I found some pretty throw pillows that I had planned on putting on the bed but the euro shams were so beautiful that I didn’t want to cover them up at all. Instead, I added an ivory faux fur oblong pillow.

I also bought the matching faux fur throw blanket on my bed to bring in those cozy fall and winter vibes.  Don’t you just want to go and cozy up here?!

It’s especially at night when we’re cuddled up in bed watching a show and we light these delicious fall candles from Agape Candles.  These are seriously some of my very favorite candles!  Rachel does such an amazing job creating these different scents and they smell soooo good in our home!  Pass on the popular bath company that sells candles and get hers….you’ll thank me.

Hotskwash Velvet Pumpkins

Taking this cozy romantic bedroom to another level for the fall was adding the most gorgeous velvet pumpkins around my room (and the rest of my home).

One of the fabulous things about relocating our family to the Pacific Northwest from Texas this last year was getting to meet some friends I’d met on Instagram that live here also.  Daria, the designer and creator behind Hot Skwash, was one of those people.  I’ve been a huge fan of her creative talents and it was an honor and a thrill to go to her warehouse in Tigard, Oregon (just across the river from us) and see all of the gorgeous pumpkins and other creations in person.  She was so gracious to collaborate with me and help me create gorgeous fall vignettes with her pumpkins.  I have a few fun things in the works with her so make sure to stay tuned for that!

It was really fun to see all of her custom orders in the backroom that were filled of pumpkins made with designer fabrics and even embellished with jewelry, fascinators, feathers, swarovski crystals and more.  I was so inspired by those that I grabbed a few fun pieces, including a small brooch of my grandmother’s, and placed them on one of my small ivory pumpkins.  Isn’t that fun?!

I also placed them throughout the rest of my room.

On my dresser…

Yes, those are real pumpkin stems!  Love it!

I just adore these mini pumpkins with the crystals.  They’re just precious!

I just find that they make the perfect romantic fall decor without being traditional colors or something you’d see in any store.  It’s truly something special!

I love this spot on my chaise lounge. We watch the sunset right out our windows and get to stare at all the tall trees and the horses running around.

Another way I like to make my bedroom cozy for fall and winter is to use faux fur or soft plush throw blankets and drape them on your chaise lounges or sitting chairs.  You can even add faux fur pieces over your benches and stools or bring in a faux fur rug to layer.  Also, bring out your slippers and if they coordinate with your room and are pretty, you can leave them out and not put them away.  They’ll add coziness to the ambiance.

As I finish this blog post, the sun is starting to set which means I get to light the candles and get on my pj’s and get cozy in bed.  Yay!  Oh how I love this time of year!

Thanks so much to Daria and make sure to contact Hot Skwash by Daria through the website and you can also follow her on Instagram to put together an order.  You will fall in LOVE with these pumpkins!  There is NOTHING like them out there.  The quality surpasses any others I’ve seen.  Tell her Summer sent you!

A huge thanks to Pom Pom At Home for collaborating on my master bedroom update for the fall and winter!  I’ll have these items linked below for your shopping convenience!
