What are your favorite fall activities? 

 It has been a while since I have shared an inspiration post. I was on a roll when right before we moved and then we got here, and well...things didn't move all that quickly. While I love planning all the pretty details, there were (and still are) a lot of not so pretty things that needed done first. So, I kind of stopped doing these for a bit. 

If I am being honest, I have felt a little uninspired by the construction mess and long timeline. However, this dining room space is something that I am so excited to see finished and I am going to keep envisioning it until it is a reality. Someday it will happen. 

light fixture / table / hutch / chairs

Here's the thing though...I imagine all the conversations to be had in this space, all of the games to be played at the table, all of the birthday candles to be blown out, Christmas cookies to be decorated, and pumpkins to be carved. Those things can (and will) happen regardless of the state of the room. Even if we don't have the perfect light fixture or the right rug...all of life's moments will still happen.

Don't put your life on pause for a renovation. Let life happen in the middle of it, host book club, take the pictures, plan the party...it is okay if your house isn't perfect. 

* This turned into a pep talk to myself that no one asked for.
