The extent of my fall decorating so far is this cozy quilt that I made. And it's not really here for fall, it's usually here all year 😂. I plan to add some fall vibes this weekend, which will consist of lots of pumpkins and gourds. I love the color orange so pumpkins are the perfect and easiest way to decorate for fall. I also love that there are so many varieties of pumpkins these days, blue, pink, and ones that look like they have peanuts on them. Pumpkins are getting wild. 🎃

Hello. I guess it's about time for a new introduction since I have a bunch of new followers. I'm Brandi and this is me and my husband @daveadoff sailing on a boat last weekend on Seneca Lake. In addition to cutting lemons for lemonade 🍋 he makes just about every meal that we eat at home. He is a killer cook and enjoys coking so it's a win win. Yes, I know how lucky I am. I don't cook that often but I do bake and redecorate the house a lot. I love finding unique items at flea markets, estate sales, auctions and thrift stores to use for design. I also design for clients so reach out if you're looking for a simple room refresh or to redesign a whole space. I make quilts and am will update my shop with a few for sale in a couple of weeks. Life has been really crazy lately because a tornado tore through our neighborhood Sept 1st and damaged our home and totaled my car. Dealing with all of that has been taking up a ton of time and I can't wait for it all to be over and fixed.
We have been married for 17 years and met in biochemistry class at University of the Sciences in Philadelphia. I was a chemistry and he was a Biology major. We were friends for about a year before we started dating and have been BFF ever since. I know I am the luckiest to have him by my side. I didn't mean for this to get all mushy, but here we are 😘. It's been one hell of a year.

Throw back to when the deck ceiling was intact and this area looked like a mushroom garden with the plants and tulip stools. You know I ❤️ vintage and the thrill of the hunt. The rug was an estate sale find and those chairs I manifested before I learned what manifesting was. Lol. I had two things in mind that I had pinned to a Pinterest board the night before. These stools and the circle rattan stool you see being used as a side table in the #bhg article. The next day I went to a flea market and found them. I need to do that more often!

Thankful this huge tree fell away from the house instead of on it during the tornado we had a few weeks ago. We are getting a few more taken down that are either leaning towards the house or are unhealthy looking. Our landscape will look drastically different, but instead of being sad about it, I am trying to embrace the change. Life really is nothing but change, so you have to adapt. Now I will be able to plant all of those sun loving flowering plants that I've always admired: lilacs, coneflower, zinnias, poppies, etc... Tell me your favorite sun loving flowers, shrubs and trees. I have a lot of garden planning and planting in my future. And ok, honestly I am a little sad, but garden planning and buying plants helps.

My Great Aunt Millie would be so proud to know that her 60s sectional sofa and marble coffee tables were featured in a magazine 60 years later. My Grandpa ended up with the set and he had it in his back room. It was covered in a crushed velvet orange with a cream vinyl base and he let me have it when I moved to Philly in 1999. It's been with me ever since in West Philly, Levittown, Abington and now here in Ft Washington. I had it recovered in this gorgeous teal blue several years ago. Keeping the vintage furniture hand me down vibe going, that wooden piece in the background was Dave's grandmother's. It's a bar! Cheers to being given awesome vintage furniture. 🥂

I'm still basking in the glow of the @betterhomesandgardens article. Did you grab a copy yet? Here is the living room in all of its glory. 🙌

Welcome to all of my new followers who found me via the article. If you're new here we were hit by a tornado a week before the article came out so I have been preoccupied talking to a bunch of people trying to get the house fixed and my car replaced. It's been a crazy few weeks. I plan to go into detail of all of these shots in the future and will show what it looks like now. Thanks for sticking around while I get it all sorted.

You're not going to believe this. Our home is in @betterhomesandgardens ! Go check out the October 2021 issue to read the 8 page story and see the beautiful photos. Special thanks to @eddieross for pitching and then styling the shoot, @_david_land for photographing us and the house, @kathrynosheaevans for putting our story into words and @monikaeyers for editing it all together into a perfect piece! I can hardly believe that we are in print in Better Homes & Gardens. What a dream come true! I have some behind the scenes photos and stories in my most recent blog post. I also am saving an IG story highlight. The photo shoot happened in June 2019 and it is finally in print! Dave even smiled for the camera! 😂 and Winnie is included too.
Let's celebrate! 🍾🍾

Special thanks to @formadasocial for creating this website and to @traci.elaine and @mcbecks_pix for a lot of the beautiful photography. I'd love for you to check it out and share it with your friends! Let me know what you think.

This is what our honey locust tree looked like pre-tornado. Swipe to see what it looks like now. We just walked through the Elliger Park neighborhood which is three blocks away and it's complete devastation. We are so so lucky that it wasn't worse for us. Two gigantic trees in the back yard fell away from the house and if they fell on it the house would have sustained tremendous damage. It's just a house (and car) and we can fix it.

Thanks so much to everyone for the offers of help and assistance. We have the best friends and family. Yesterday with the generous help of friends, our yard was cleared. We still have to deal with some giant trees, but that will be left to the professionals once we get insurance sorted. Thank you everyone, you are all so sweet.

We already have power back and the tree companies and linemen crews are working their asses off to get our neighborhood back in shape. I've never seen anything like it. Crews from Canada, Nebraska, all over the country are here.

I've saved my tornado stories as a highlight.
