Fall Home Tour

This is my first home tour! Although this does not show my whole home, it shows the rooms I've decorated for fall. I am constantly changing things so some stuff may look different in a few days. If you follow me on Instagram (style_nest_interiors) you will see the ever changing home decor. Here is a peak inside our home for the fall! 

I love decorating for different seasons and, like I said before, I am constantly changing things. 

I hope you enjoy this mini fall home tour! If you want to see more home tours let me know in the comments! :) I know I love seeing other peoples tours so I hope you enjoy it too! :)

DIY Hanging Vase Wall

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend! We're recovering from vacation over here. I'm excited to write all about it, but today I have an easy DIY. I'm sharing my DIY hanging vase wall from our bedroom. It's so easy and pretty inexpensive too. Let's get started! 

Supplies:

You'll need whatever greenery or florals you want to use. I picked out these green leaf branches from Hobby Lobby and mixed the two. You will also need small vases. These are from Hobby Lobby and were $1.59. I used jewelry wire but picture wire would work great too. Lastly, you will need scissors. 

Next you want to cut the wire however long you will want them from the ceiling. Since I have mine going in a arch I did different lengths. 

Once you've cut off the wire, tie one end to the vase. You will want to double knot it to make sure it won't fall off. 

Once you have it tied to the vase, take the other end and make a loop and tie the loop off. This is going to hang from the nail. 

Take the nail and hammer it into the wall up by the ceiling. I did mine pretty close to the ceiling, as close as I could and still hammer it in. 

Once the nails are in, hang each vase from the nails, one vase per nail. Once the vases are hanging, put the greenery in each vase. 

That's it! You're done! I told you it was easy! 

And here is the end result!

I hope you enjoyed this easy DIY!

Save vs. Splurge - Bedding

I did a Save vs. Splurge post a few weeks ago and I want to make this a series! I love decorating on a budget and fully believe that you can get a high end look without spending a ton of money. So, I want to take on the challenge of finding less expensive options for more expensive items. This week I am comparing bedding. I've found some beautiful but expensive bedding, and I'm going to compare it to a less expensive option. 

Can you tell which is more expensive? Both of these comforters have beautiful ruffle detail and are both a crisp white. As I said in my post "5 Ingredients for a Perfect Farmhouse Style" decorating with white is an important ingredient to the farmhouse style. 

The bedding on the left is $650 and the bedding on the right is only $99!

---

Both of these duvet covers go perfectly with the farmhouse style. They are classic and simple with the stripes and neutral colors. One of these is over $500 and the other is under $100. Can you guess which is which?

The one on the left is $84.99 and the one on the right is $526! 

---

These two comforters have great texture that add so much to a space. I love adding texture when decorating. One of these comforters is under $100 and the other is over $200. Can you tell the difference? 

The one on the left is $89.99 and the one on the right is $203.99. 

As I said above, I love decorating on a budget, especially when I can find options that are so similar to those more expensive items. Most of the time you can't tell the difference and I love that you can get the same look for a lot less.

5 Ingredients for the Perfect Farmhouse Style

It's no secret that the farmhouse style is popular right now. There is something so classic and simple about this growing trend. The wood tones and the white make for a relaxing space that anyone would love to live in. I've come up with 5 "ingredients" to achieve the farmhouse style everyone loves. 

1. Wood Tones

The farmhouse style is warm and cozy. Adding touches of wood will help bring that into the space. I love wooden vases, dough bowls, and wooded signs. These are all great ways to incorporate some wood tones to achieve the farmhouse style. 

2. White

Farmhouses are light and airy. A great way to get a light and airy feel is to decorate with whites. This isn't to say you can't use colors in your decor, but a more neutral color palette will help achieve the desired look of a natural, cozy farmhouse. I love to use white furniture such as sofas and chairs, pillows, and dishes. The neutral look is perfect for a farmhouse. 

3. Hardwood Floors

This isn't something that would be a quick change, but if you are redoing your home and want a farmhouse look, then hardwoods are the way to go. 

4. Open Shelving

Many farmhouse kitchens have open shelving. This is a great way to display nice dishes and it opens the space up too. I like the idea of adding a few open shelves in addition to your cabinets. That way you can still have the functionality of the cabinets but the look of the open shelving. 

5. Shiplap

This may be the most popular of all of these ingredients, thanks to Joanna Gaines. The texture it brings to a space can't be duplicated. Whether it's painted white or left natural, shiplap is a great way to incorporate farmhouse style in your home.

So, with a little bit of wood elements, a sprinkle of white, some hardwood floors, a dash of open shelving, and a heap of shiplap, you will have the perfect farmhouse style. 

I hope you enjoyed this little farmhouse style "recipe".
