Can you believe November is almost over?! Where has all the time gone? We are so excited to share a few peeks of upcoming projects we have lined up for December, but first let's take a look at some of our very favorite posts from November.
We loved this latch hook rug Katie made! Elsie shared her DIY family photo book shelves, flower arranging tips and her restyled bar cart. I also really loved reading her tips for stocking a bar cart. I think I may need to take a trip to the wine center soon.
Kinsey showed us how to make a restyled backpack from an oversized shirt. And Mallory helped us complete this quilt from hand printed textiles.
There were lots of painting projects this month! I got to update my coffee table with a pop of color. And Josh + Sarah showed us how to make our own triangle shelves!
Katie shared her families new advent tree that they get to start using tomorrow!
We saw many beautiful spaces this month in our At Home With features. A big thanks to everyone involved, your spaces inspire us! You can see everyone featured in November here, here, here, here, here and here. :)
We got to interview Simon Filip, the creator of Afterglow.
We took a tour and got inspired at a chocolate factory!
Elsie and Elise released their latest e-course: Blog (Design) Love.
I was both excited and nervous to host our very first Friendsgiving this year. It was a blast! A few of my favorite recipes where the accordian potatoes, brussels sprouts and caramel apple cheese cake!
We also keep things sweet with pumpkin whoopie pies and Nutella cinnamon rolls. Yum!
You can see some of our favorite outfits from this month here, here and here.
Over at EverydayElsie, Elsie shared her new tradition of making cocktails named after friends. She shared her Honey Tree cocktail named after the band. :)
Over on EverydayEmma I shared Trey's and my homemade holiday ornaments we created to decorate our tree this year.
It's been a fantastic month, and we are so so excited for December! xo. Emma

I love your sister style posts. I love that they're outfits that one can actually take inspiration from and try to put together something similar with pieces in their own closet rather than sit staring at the post and think "that's gorgeous but I could never afford that or I can't pull that off" Your blog is magnificent and I love that you're sisters and best friends!! I hope my sister and I are always best friends:)

So lovely...
Elsie and Emma, your blog is so inspirational and delightful. It’s wonderful to check up on a Beautiful Mess, and see how you both were inspired to be a little bit vintage, whether it’s in the wardrobe, kitchen, or anywhere you wish to sparkle your personalities. When I’m having a rough day, I just take a moment to check out some of my favorite blogs, and yours never fails to make me smile and want to get out there and create. Keep it up, girls, and I hope you know how wonderful A Beautiful Mess and you two really are. God Bless!

I love the Simon Filip interview. It's the first app I've ever spent money on and it was well worth it.
