Blogger Stylin' Home Tours Fall 2015

Hello Friends, Welcome to Chic Little House. I'm thrilled to be participate in the Blogger Stylin' Homes Fall Edition hosted by Lindsey from The White Buffalo Styling Co. The past few days have been filled with amazing home tours and so much inspiration. If your hoping over here from Eleven Gables Fall Home Tour welcome! Isn't Emily's home simply amazing, and thank you for joining me.

If your new to Chic Little House, I'm Katrina, I'm a huge fan of small homes that are filled with charm. I love pattern and color, white kitchens, floor plans, mixing new and old. Speaking of old mid century furniture is my favorite. At the very top of my love list is my home. We live in a 1950's rancher that we recently re-built from top to bottom after a house fire and made a improvements to the original floor plan along the way, read more about the journey here. Rooms in my house come together slowly over time, I thoughtfully fill my home only with items we truly madly deeply love. Often times, I call myself the queen of the wait, prime example, stalking Craigslist for 6 months everyday to find THE perfect vintage dining room table, the wait paid off [ read about the adventure here] I just returned home from a two week Holiday in England visiting my best friend, so fall decorating in my home is slow going and more about the cozy vibe I like my home to exude. 

Today, I'm sharing my living room, dining room and kitchen. For me fall is all about adding a few cozy extras with throws in baskets, flowers galore, fresh cut branches from the garden and fragrant candles and in season fruit and watching Hollywood Classics on Sunday mornings while laying on the sofa. Welcome to my living room, dressed for fall. 

Mums make the perfect crowning glory for my owl vase. 

I love filing my home with flowers, I picked up this lovely bouquet of flowers at the local framers market and they smell and just feel like fall. I love having bowls of fresh fruit on the table to help encourage my kids to eat their fruit. 

This pumpkin and gourd trio look perfectly at home on on my kitchen counter, and make my youngest son Avery super happy. 

During the Fall months, I spend a lot of time in my kitchen baking seasonal treats and love that open shelving in my kitchen allows me to display my cookbooks and have them close by. While in visiting London during my Holiday, I picked up the Primrose Bakery Book. The book is filled with yummy English treats I can't wait to bake. 

Thank you for joining me, I hope you've enjoyed my Fall Home Tour. As I mentioned earlier, I just returned home from Holiday and have lineup of inspiring Home Design posts from my time in England and Day Trip to Paris, coming to the blog on Thursday and next week.

My Fabulous Life 

DIY Hanging Planter

Well this a first, I'm writing my blog from another country, very exciting! If you being following my Instagram posts @mrsclh then you I recently landed in England to visit one of my dearest friends for two weeks. Talk about the ultimate girls trip! My latest DIY Workshop project for The Home Depot was to build a DIY Hanging Planter. Today, I'm sharing my customized version of hanging planter. 

I love the idea of having a small hanging planter that is perfect for indoors. I love terrariums, they are so pretty. To me they feel like tiny self contained little gardens. I've been wanting to add one to my house for ages. When I spotted the Pride Gardens Glob Terrarium in The Home Depot Garden section, I knew it would so amazing in a hanging frame.  I decided to build a hanging planter that could be placed on counter, desk or windowsill that felt modern and worked perfectly for my home. Using 1x2 walnut wood from The Home Depot, I four pieces of wood 12 inches long and then built a frame using my Ryobi Airstrike Nail Gun. To make sure the frame is nice and secure, I used 1 1/4 nails. 

Seriously friends, I'm obsessed with my Ryobi Airstrike nail gun, it makes me feel like a pro. Next, I pre-drilled a small hole on the inside the center of the frame and screwed in a cup hanger. 

I used indoor garden soil and placed two small succulents inside, then added a few rocks to help with drainage. Next, I hung the globe inside the walnut frame. I absolutly love how pretty and modern the globe looks inside the wood frame. The warm wood tones of walnut the are such a pretty contrast to the green succulants inside. 

I'm so happy with how this project turned out, my new hanging planter feels right at home in my living room. Plants always make for happy additions in rooms, don't they? 

As a reminder, my fellow DIY Workshop friends will be at various Home Depots around the country hosting workshops on how to build a DIY Hanging Planter for your porch. I hope you'll be able to join them Satruday, September 12, 2015 from 10:00am to 11:30pm. Please visit thier blogs for more information and locations: Chris
