This week I hauled my fall decor down from the attic and began refreshing the house for the cooler months. I’ll admit, it’s a little tricky to settle into autumn when the thermometer still reads 85 degrees, but I felt the itch to start styling anyway. A quick trip to Target yielded some charming finds that I tucked into my displays, and the results have me excited for the season ahead. See the Instagram highlights here.
On this week’s Home Style Saturday (HSS #470), you’ll find cozy porch decorating ideas, an elegant home office transformation, a thoughtful look at brown furniture, designer-approved fall styling tips, and practical advice for keeping mums looking their best. Pour a cup of coffee, get comfortable, and enjoy a weekend serving of home inspiration.
