Hello, friends! If you lived nearby, I’d invite you over for coffee, light my new Pumpkin Spice candle, and we’d sit in the living room enjoying the cool A/C and autumn feelings while it still hits the 90s most days around here.
No matter how humid it is outside, it feels like fall inside my home!
I’m sharing my home tour alongside some of the finest home decor bloggers around! I hope you’ll stick around until the end of the post to “visit” their stunning fall homes, too.
I went a bit overboard on my open kitchen shelves and added plenty of decor there, so I kept things more streamlined in the living room.
I’ll share more autumn decor as the season goes on, but for now the mantel mirrors the weather that’s still a few months away. Haha! Soon it will be chili-potluck, cardigan weather in just a few weeks. (Please, Lord, let it be true! #fingerscrossed)
I stuck with what I already owned and simply found new ways to use it.
The fall wreath with faux shiplap is a new craft I made this year. You’ll find the tutorial here. I added the “harvest” lettering in the middle because it seemed to need a little something extra. (People always ask, so I’ll mention that I used this font and my Silhouette machine to cut the word.)
Lately, though, I’ve been craving more simplicity around the house. I plan to do a major declutter before the holiday season kicks into high gear, so you’ll see a bit of that longing reflected in my fall mantel decor.
It’s been a couple of years since my last real declutter, so it’s overdue!
For my fall mantel, I used my two favorite glass vases filled with olive branches, a touch of seeded eucalyptus and cotton stems. The two books came from a thrift store, and my pumpkin spice candle is one of my all-time favorite things right now. It smells sooooo delicious!
The pumpkin patch pillow was one of my top finds this year from a store I adore.
The navy and white pumpkin pillow is by one of my favorite artists, who creates the most beautiful watercolors. I ordered her pumpkin pillow last year, but a mix-up with my order meant the replacement cover didn’t arrive until after I’d finished photographing last fall. It’s been waiting patiently for its big debut this year! And I LOVE it!!!!
The stacked trio of pumpkins was also a find from last year.
I hope that wherever your heart is this season, whether it feels full and abundant or is seeking a little more simplicity, you’ll find rest and comfort at home! To me, that’s the cozy feeling of fall!
