Fall Decor & Design
There’s something so special about creating little seasonal moments around the house, and this fall vignette in our dining room has quickly become one of my favorites. As soon as the leaves start to change outside, I can’t resist bringing a little bit of that autumn magic indoors. Instead of feeling the pressure of decorating the entire house for fall, I like to focus on one area at a time. Creating a seasonal vignette on our buffet is one of my favorite areas to start with.
How else do you explain the feeling you get when the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, and many of us feel the natural pull to retreat indoors and create a space that feels warm and inviting. This seasonal shift is often called fall nesting—a practice of refreshing your home with cozy layers, natural accents, and comforting details that mirror autumn’s beauty. The difference for me is that fall nesting goes beyond simply decorating for the season; it’s about embracing a lifestyle of comfort and connection, where your home becomes a welcoming retreat for cooler months ahead.
I love creating a welcoming Thanksgiving table that inspires people to want to come and gather around it. To linger long after the last bite has been taken and dessert has been served. Tablescapes don’t have to be tricky or complicated. This year’s Thanksgiving table is all about creating cozy layers with a warm welcome.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
