Budget-Friendly Fall Decor, Realistic Pumpkins and Rustic Bread Recipes (HSS #468)

Right after Labor Day, football season kicks off, the kids are back in school and nobody wears white anymore… right? I hope your long weekend was wonderful and you enjoyed your day off! My family went zip lining in the Smoky Mountains to celebrate!

This weekend we're headed out to visit friends. I'm truly looking forward to being home for the rest of the year after what feels like three months of nonstop travel! Does fall feel like it's arriving where you live yet? I think a cold front is moving through this weekend, and I'm excited about that! I hope the temperatures match my Pumpkin Spice Latte soon!

Before you go, get inspired by this week's Home Style Saturday #468! Tour the 2025 Cashiers Designer Showhouse, discover budget-friendly fall decorating ideas and simple formulas, find the best realistic fake pumpkins and enjoy a rustic artisan bread recipe. It's cozy inspiration for every homebody.

Welcome to Home Style Saturday — a weekend dose of home inspiration!

Every Saturday, my sweet blog friends and I share some of our favorite decorating tips, seasonal ideas, easy recipes, DIY projects and more, all from the heart and home. It's like flipping through a mini lifestyle magazine over your morning coffee.
