I believe that life is a series of stories worth telling and man, do I have some to share! I am a wife and mom of 4 (and counting). I am a storyteller and dreamer turned blogger and podcaster. I delight in always finding something new to create and do around our home. I am passionate about living my life in joy through every season of marriage, motherhood, and business. I love to share our love and our life, authentically and unfiltered, to inspire you to find joy in your everyday. Cozy up and find something fun!

DIY Fall Welcome Mat


It’s Fall ya’ll… well almost anyway!


This year, instead of buying a new welcome mat, why not make your own?! You can customize it with whatever stencil you'd like and have a little art therapy!


So excited to bring you our first FALL DIY!!! Today, I'll be sharing with you Kori's blog from The Farmhouse Life "Bless Our Nest" DIY Welcome Mat tutorial.


Kori says, "home design has always been a passion of mine. I love to find new ways to make my home feel and look beautiful.. Here you’ll find design tips, DIYs, inspiration boards, tips on organization and cleaning, entertaining, and so much more!"

The Process:

To start, I tape the stencil in place on my mat. After it was secured I added the paint to my dish. I found it easier to blot on the paint with my brush onto the stencil. This made sure to get in between all the nooks and crannies. When finished, I allowed the paint to dry before removing the stencil. And that’s it my friends… it’s that easy! It’s such a great way to make a custom welcome mat say whatever you want it to!
