Happy Fall Leaf Blowing + Links

Happy Friday! It's been a doozy of a week and I skipped my usual links in yesterday's post, so here I am on a beautiful Friday to share what's kept me online (and up past my bedtime) this week.

I'm dreaming of a kitchen like this beauty for our farmhouse.  It belongs to a new favorite Instagram-er, which I'll share more about in a minute.

Garrett and I have an eventful weekend coming our way at the farmhouse.  I'm sure you remember all those beautiful Ash trees around our property?  Well fall has hit hard, and those glorious trees have made one never-ending leaf mess out of our yard.  Garrett showed up with a leaf blower a couple of days ago, and I could have kissed him on the spot.  Sure they are loud and obnoxious, but whoever invented that contraption gets a gold star from me!  We're planning to blow the leaves into one giant pile and, I'm sure you can guess the rest.  Yes, I'm talking about leaves and it makes me wonder, what has my life come to...in the best possible way?!

Now on to the good stuff.  Grab an extra cup of coffee and check out a few of the fine wonders the internet has to offer:

Do you guys follow Joy the Baker?  She’s one of my all time favorite bloggers and her home turned out so beautifully.  It’s inviting and interesting and seems exactly like Joy herself. No, I don't actually know Joy, but when you follow someone's blog for years, it feels like they are one of your friends...you get it, right?!

As a surprise to no one, I’m completely obsessed with fireplaces right now (did you see yesterday's ORC post?).  All my favorites are right here.

I checked out this article for the fireplace and stayed for the amazing house tour.  It's a beauty...don't miss it!

This Instagram account has me all excited (that's her kitchen above).  We're practically neighbors (okay maybe not, but we both live in the Pacific Northwest) and I can't wait to see how her farmhouse turns out!

Hope you have a great weekend!

xoxo
