We’ve been in our new dwelling for 10 months now and I nonetheless am making an attempt to persuade myself that it doesn’t should really feel “finished” to share snippets of it. I’ve labored diligently to carry a sense of hygge into our dwelling and whereas it’s not “completed,” I do love the progress we’ve made. I believe it is going to be enjoyable to share the way it evolves 12 months over 12 months, however for now it’s fairly thrilling to brighten for our first fall!
I used to be so hesitant to do something to our previous dwelling (put a nail within the wall for instance) as a result of what if I modified my thoughts and didn’t prefer it? It’s a mindset that stored our earlier dwelling lower than personalised. However I love a personalised dwelling; a spot you stroll into and it simply feels like that individual. I’ve realized to create that takes a while and intention in selecting belongings you love, however it additionally takes some boldness in selections and a mixture of previous and new. I’m a piece in progress.
Getting to place up some fall decor has definitely enhanced the sensation of consolation and coziness I really feel on this place. I hope my youngsters will bear in mind the sensation of dwelling their entire lives via: the aromas from the kitchen, the softness of blankets, the ambiance of candles and lamps, and the sensation of being beloved for simply who they’re in a spot they are often fully themselves.
Possibly that sounds a bit deep for simply sharing some fall decor, however it’s the guts of it for me. Leaning into the season and making my dwelling heat and welcoming is one in all my favourite hobbies. So in celebration of the kick off to fall, and the understanding that sharing this under no circumstances means I believe I’m up there with Chris Loves Julia, let me present you round!
Oh, and I’ve linked something linkable in my ShopMy Retailer, which is so good as a result of you may embrace merchandise from wherever, not simply from Amazon. Okay, let’s begin within the entrance, then stroll with me into the lounge and thru it, to the again porch.

One thing I’ve embraced is my present stage of life. I really like the look of life like fake fall stems and lovely plaid pillows. My ladies love a comfortable and fuzzy fall rooster blanket, spinning my inexperienced chairs round like a carnival recreation, and having the canine’s favourite octopus toy accessible to play with in the lounge. For me, there’s room for all of it. Whereas I attempted my finest to scrub up a bit for many of those photos, I like the indicators of life in a house and proper now the proof of my youngsters cuddling on the sofa and leaving the chess items scattered after a recreation add to the sensation that that is the place we do our dwelling.
Include me now into the kitchen and eating space, then down the corridor into the scullery (the place we’ve got the espresso) and laundry room (that homes only a small seasonal element, a framed image of the women from apple choosing years ago- my coronary heart!).
A variety of the eating space remains to be a piece in progress. David goes to hold the mirror on the wall and, like a lot of my home, it wants artwork. Artwork is the toughest factor for me. Making an attempt to resolve on the correct dimension and discover one thing I really like that isn’t only a filler looks like a problem. However like I stated, a piece in progress.

and that’s the majority of it! There are some issues although that I can’t convey via a weblog publish. The comfy fall jazz music I’ve enjoying at nearly all instances. The flickering of candle mild. The peaks of colour starting to point out on the bushes via the window. The aromas of bread baking and soup simmering.
As a result of whereas I really like including to my seasonal decor (I simply purchased some extra leaf garland yesterday to place up) and having the home cleaned up, what finally feels homey to me is when my kitchen counter seems like this:

Proof of life.
Pleased sigh.
Share with me- do you take pleasure in seasonal decor? What do you like about your private home? Is there something particular you do within the fall so as to add to the coziness?
