We’ve wrapped up our summer travels and spent the week preparing for the new school year. Classes start Monday, backpacks and lunches are ready, wardrobes are sorted, and the new shoes are waiting by the door. It feels good to have everything in order and to usher in a bit more routine — while still savoring the last of the easy summer moments.
I’m looking forward to reclaiming quiet hours for home projects, DIY updates, and seasonal decorating. As much as I love a lazy morning, I’m also a fan of schedules, productivity, and the fresh energy that comes with autumn transitions. Cooler weather will be a welcome relief after this long heat wave, and football season is an extra bonus for our household. Read on for this week’s Home Style Saturday roundup — inspirations for decorating, renovating, recipes, and small projects to refresh your home for the season.
