In this tablescape, I used many elements of Fall, from wood tones, copper, and neutral colors. Every item has a different texture but goes well & compliments one another. I kept the height of many of the elements low & worked upward by using the taper candles. My guest will still be able to enjoy an engaging conversation without having to look over or around anything. I style most of my centerpieces from the center & work outward to create a balance & stay focused on what vib

Is there anything better than looking at a beautiful Fall Mantle in your bedroom? I've learned to call it a mantle, as so many refer to it as a mantle. I would refer to the space on the table with the shelf. But in all reality, the "shelf" is a vintage mantle. It is one of my favorite spaces to style. From my vintage mirrors; to fall foliage, a variety of taper candles, crystals, new prints & cozy textiles show that vintage & new can blend seamlessly. Perfect Fall hues give

Battery-operated candles have definitely come a long way. To their texture & realistic flame. Here at CCH, I love to use these in Fall & Winter months to give a cozy vibe all day without having the worry of a real candle. The glow at night is realistic & warm. You'll see how I use them through the season, alone or under a cloche. Most of these come with a remote & offer different modes & timers. String lighting sets off a magical vibe in any space, some just as it with a tw

To say that I love cozy vibes is an understatement. Here at Country Chic Homes , I love the ambiance of candles lit or not. As seen in many of these photos when taking photos, I lite them unless the flame comes too close to something flammable. Textures & different elements are key to my design. I love mixing them. New & vintage is such a great way to style any space. Even with a new piece, its story begins with you so make it a beautiful start. XO Ali

The night before we left on vacation to Hawaii, I had a vision. I was looking through Pinterest & Instagram & saw some hutch inspiration. I looked over into our kitchen & saw our hutch & the inspiration I was seeing as I scrolling it was all coming together, well in my mind. I had thought about it before but I never really thought I would do it. Why not I thought to myself? Let's do it! I got up & went to the garage & grabbed my Chalk Paint in Linen White , mind you there was

Where have I been? Well if you didn't hear, I added another branch of Country Chic Homes! I host local Pop Up Events & I have 1 in the books & 4 planned! How did this happen? Well, I wanted a brick n mortar, but my goodness rent is insane. I just couldn't commit to that & I have a full time day job that I love & am in no way letting that go. I'm in the medical field, I've been with this company for, well 10 years this coming November. So I am still doing all the other CCH dut

Well hello, April, my birthday month! I have loved my birthday since day one since my dad started making me feel so loved & celebrated my birthday every single day pretty much. I won't make this a birthday post, we'll save that for April 23rd. April showers bring May flowers, but if you're in California we hardly get rain & have been seeing blooms for a few weeks now. April does mean 30 new pages to your book; a new chapter make it amazing & worthwhile. Country Chic Homes wil
