Fall Decor & Design

Fall Back Porch

10/27/2024 By Bre

Our back porch has been undergoing major changes over the last few months. Earlier this summer, we started the demo, removing worn-out screens and the dated green tile. We aren’t quite finished with it yet, but the transformation has been so fun, seeing new life brought back into this space that we love to use. Our back porch is split into two sections, one part being screened in (which we plan to keep) and a second portion that used to have a pergola over it. Both of which overlooks our backyard. We’ve made some major changes to it, and even though it’s not quite finished, I thought it would be fun to decorate for fall and show you the difference between how it looked last year and now.

How I Style our Hutch for Fall

10/20/2024 By Bre

The hutch in our dining room is one of my favorite spots to decorate seasonally. It’s the first spot I go to decorate for Christmas and an easy way to add seasonal decor that’s reflected throughout the entire room. Our hutch makes the perfect focal point, centered at the end of our table. Today I’m sharing the step-by-step process of how I style our hutch for fall.

Currently Loving vol. 10

10/17/2024 By Bre

It’s been a little while since I have posted one of these posts. If you are new here, I started these types of posts so I could share things that I was currently crushing on. They are more of a random collection of things that have caught my eye, but are in no way shape or form related to one another. The range includes anything from a favorite recipe to a current article of clothing. Picture us chatting over coffee, catching up, and I’m sharing my current favorite things with you! This edition will be fall based of course, because hello – we are in October 🙂 So grab a cup, and enjoy my current round up of favorite things.

Favorite Fall Stems

10/10/2024 By Bre

Let’s talk fall stems. You know those beautiful faux branches you see in some of your favorite homes on the internet. They add an instant fall feeling to any room you add them too, but sometimes finding the right ones can be difficult. You are not wrong in feeling this way. I too have a hard time finding ones that I love, but when I do, they make it into my cart faster than you can say “fall”. Today I’m sharing some tips in what I look for when shopping for fall stems, and of course some of my favorites, so that you can use them again year after year.

Decorating our Front Steps for Fall

10/02/2024 By Bre

Nothing says fall has arrived like a few pumpkins sprinkled on your front steps! I have always loved the look of porch steps filled with potted plants and, of course, pumpkins for fall. It’s a great way to add a warm welcome to friends and family all season long. Today, I’m sharing how I decorated our front steps for fall, along with a few tips for re-creating this no-fail look.

Welcoming Fall

09/24/2024 By Bre

It is officially fall! I’ll admit that sometimes welcoming fall into our homes feels a bit premature as the summer temps try to hold on a little bit longer, but before we know it, that crisp autumn air has me turning my attention back indoors, and the itch to make our home feel warm and cozy strikes again. As we prepare to welcome fall into our homes, here are a few things I like to do as we transition into the new season.

Fall Mantel | 2023

11/05/2023 By Bre

Today I’m sharing how I decorated our fireplace mantel for fall! Truth be told, from the moment we finished our fireplace makeover, I have been dying to pull out my garlands from their storage bins, and decorate it for Christmas. But I’m practicing some self control, and am embracing the fall season by choosing to decorate my mantel for fall and not skip straight ahead to Christmas. I took a note from the colors I used in my Thanksgiving table this year to create this natural look using foraged branches with berries, a few faux stems, and of course mini white pumpkins! I love how this look came together, and am so glad I decided not to skip over decorating our mantel for fall this year.

Thanksgiving Tablescape | 2023

10/25/2023 By Bre

Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. Which would surprise most people who asked me as a young kid and expected to hear me say Christmas. I just loved when we would all come to gather around the table, extended family included. The table leaf would get brought up from the basement, and extra chairs were placed around the table, as we all would squeeze in to fit. I remember as a kid looking at the beautifully place settings, showing each of us we had a seat at the table, and somehow those everyday plates just looked a little fancier with the silverware placed next to it. Everything about the table said “you belong”, “I prepared this seat for you”, and even though I couldn’t put words to it back then, I still remember to this day how it made me feel. I think that’s why I love creating thanksgiving tablescapes so much today!

Fall Home Tour | 2023

10/22/2023 By Bre

Fall is in the air friend, and with that I begin to turn my focus from being outside in the garden to back in doors. Fall inside our home means preparing for winter. Extra blankets get put back on beds that were tucked away from summers warmer months, and chunky knit throw blankets get tucked in baskets so they are at arms reach. I swap out my throw pillow covers in the living room with hues that feel more like fall, and candles get swapped out too from scents island margarita to harvest apple spice. I like to focus on all the cozy senses of fall, since for me it is all about nesting, and making our home feel comfortable as we prepare for the colder months ahead spent indoors.
