We are BACK!

We are so excited to announce that we will be opening back up May 11th! I made the tough decision to postpone our jobs for the safety of our staff and clients. The foundation of Tabulated is family. We wanted to make sure that we put your families and our families health and safety first during all of this. And of course I want to thank the clients that showed us grace and understanding when we had to cancel and/or postpone appointments. Also, thank you to those that have helped support our business by purchasing products and our DIY services. However, we feel that it is safe for us to return back to work with a few modifications. 

So whether you have been home for what feels like forever or had to keep working I am sure you are noticing things in your house that are driving you crazy. We are excited to help you declutter, create systems that stick, or move. However, we are going to do things a little different for the next few months.

What are our temporary changes?

1. We will be working in teams of 3. I have divided my staff into 2 teams of 3. This will help with cross contamination and reduce the number of people in your home.

2. That will mean that a job we could normally get done in 1 day may take 2 days. 

3. We will have longer lead times. I will only be ordering supplies instead of going into stores. We ask that you give us plenty of notice and have some patience. 

4. Virtual Consultations to minimize going into homes. I may ask that you take some measurements for me, but other than that it will be just like our normal consultation

Safety Remains Top Priority:

1. Our team will practice social distancing within your home. We will spread out and not work in areas together. 

2. We will wear masks when we are inside your home. 

3. We will also use hand sanitizer regularly throughout the job.

4. If one of the members on our team is sick or their family member is sick, that whole team will have to remain off work for 2 week (one of the reasons I am have 2 separate teams)

We are so excited to be back and working with you. We have missed organizing so much. Be on the lookout for great deals will be offered this summer, this has never happened before so you will want to take advantage of them.

Thanksgiving Tablescape

Tabulated is excited to welcome Jennifer Davis, the Memory Makin Momma, as the November Guest Blogger! 

Hi, friends! I am so excited to share my Thanksgiving table with you today. I’ve shared a dozen or so with y’all in the past, but this may be my favorite because I didn’t spend ANY extra money whatsoever and used every bit of what I already had and I love the way it turned out. I get excited every time I walk past it! I was sitting at our kitchen table one morning just admiring the most gorgeous leaves in our backyard and had the idea, why not just get a collection of them to use as a centerpiece. Soooo, my sweet hubby went out back one morning on a leaf hunt and gathered the most perfect ones. Fortunately our back yard was full of them, so this took him all of about 10 minutes. The leaves were so gorgeous, it was hard to mess this arrangement up. All you need to do is go on a leaf hunt yourself and then simply start clipping and filling your vase or jar until it makes you happy, happy! It’s as simple as that! I then just added some down the runner and randomly placed small ceramic pumpkins throughout the leaves. Y’all, so so so easy! For the rest of the table, I will list sources below.

Some of you may have heard me say in the past that I love collecting salt and pepper shakers. I get this from my mom. She is constantly finding the most precious ones here and there, mostly at antique stores. These turkeys are ones she and I found together and I just love them so much and always think of her when I get them out each year.

You may also notice the small, gold turkeys. These are place card holders. I am using this table a couple different times this month and will add names at that time.

We are not hosting Thanksgiving in our home this year, but I am still too excited to use this for some family and a “friendsgiving” this month! The biggest tip I would offer if you are hosting is do as much as you can ahead of time and this includes setting the table! It makes for a pretty table to enjoy and one thing already off the “to do” list. I hope you’re inspired to go on a leaf hunt, friends! And if you do, I’d love to see it! Be sure to share with me! Have a wonderful day!

How to “Make an Entrance” with Fall front porch décor!

We are excited to feature Becca May of “Home with Becca” as the September Guest Blogger! She is a wife, momma, decorator, letterer & DIYer!

The change in season is a perfect time to refresh the very first space guests see when they come to your home, which is your front door or entryway. The entrance to your home sets the tone and gives visitors their first impression. I’m sharing 6 simple tips and help on what to shop for to give your front porch all the Fall feels!

PAINT

Paint is an affordable solution that can bring the most dramatic change. Could your front door use a fresh coat of paint? Check out my Fall color favorites:

2. “Rich Chestnut”- Benjamin Moore

3. “Iron Ore”- Sherwin Williams

4. “Grey Green Westland”- Glidden

5. “Shadow Taupe”- Behr

6. “Crabby Apple” Sherwin Williams

RUG LAYERING

Pair your standard “welcome” mat with a larger outdoor rug to serve as an anchor for the space and décor. It will help bring the space together when the objects are either touching or very close to the larger rug.

ADD HEIGHT

A huge improvement to front porch décor happens when objects are to scale to the door. Most planters sit low, leaving a lot of unused space between the ground and your eye level. Try using large corn stalks or hay-bails from your local Farmers Market to help add height to your décor. Stacking pumpkins and using different planter heights can also help tier the look.

TEXTURE

I love the look of a warm scarf underneath an existing wreath. Not only does this bring the colors together from your plants and pumpkins but it adds length and closes the gap between your ground décor.

MIX IT UP

I like to mix smaller plants in with the “focal point plants.” If you choose to decorate with mums on either side of the door, try using a couple cabbage plants or herbs to add variety. Mix in a few muted color pumpkins to bring in the color palette from the scarf.

LIGHTING

Dim lighting always brings a sense of comfort. Using lanterns with battery operated candles or rope lighting can help achieve this look. If your outdoor sconces are dated try changing them out for a more cohesive + modern look.

HAVE FUN + CHEERS TO ALL THE THINGS FALL SEASON BRINGS!!
