The days are warm, the nights are chilly and the leaves are just starting to think about
turning to those pretty fall colors.
And it is only the beginning of September.
Which means that fall is appearing all around the house as well.
And today, I have something you won’t want to miss.
An early autumn home tour- and a $100 HomeGoods gift card giveaway.
YES.
Let’s get started.
🙂
September in California means warm summer days that linger into October
and a little bit of crispness starting to appear in the evenings.
And with that comes harvest time…
Fruit like pears and apples are filling buckets
and fingers crossed,
pretty pumpkins to place on your porch and enjoy are popping up everywhere.
But.. if you forgot to plant pumpkins…well…
it might mean a couple more weeks.
🙂
Either way,
today, I am sharing a peek at the early fall decor that is starting to appear around the house
pumpkins or not…
and I am so.excited to be joining HomeGoods today
along with an amazing line up of bloggers.
So, I will keep the talking to a minimum
because:
#1. I have a ton of photos to share.
#2. I took more than 100
#3. But breathe a sigh of relief-
I narrowed it down to just 22.
#4. Okay…25 …maybe 26.
🙂
I will be sharing a closer look at each area in the next couple of weeks
and how rooms evolve as they always do.
If you are popping over from Four Generations One Roof-
welcome!
Let’s start in the kitchen…
Wedges of cheese on marble and wood cutting boards
and a bouquet of hydrangeas- and I am good.
I don’t do a ton of decorating for autumn in the kitchen- but I do love to entertain.
More on that coming soon…
And these little cheese markers?
I am in love.
The kitchen cupboard got a sprinkling of autumn
with white dishes and copper.
You might notice just a wee bit of copper in my fall decor this season.
Just. A. tiny bit….
I have to say- I am obsessed.
And… I am okay with it.
In the dining room-
I used a wood dough bowl filled with dried hydrangeas on the table
Simple and sweet.
In the living room-
another crush this season…
Aubergine.
And blush.
And gold.
And gold grapevine pumpkins and pumpkins made out of leaves.
Yes, I am serious….
obsessed.
Yes, I am serious….
obsessed.
These gorgeous velvet pillows were talking to me.
Another fall favorite- thistle.
You saw it yesterday in the kitchen as well- I loaded up at the flower market.
On the mantel-
blush and gold in abundance.
I love natural autumn decor- so simple eucalyptus
with dried roses mingling with little grapevine pumpkins are perfection.
In the bedroom- just a peek at the mantel that is all dried now.
But it is the only area that has a little fall sprinkling yet.
😉
and
no pumpkins in the bathroom…
but I have to show you one of my favorite indulgences
In fall and winter- those chilly temps mean soaking in the tub time.
and one of my favorite aisles to shop at HomeGoods is the soap and
treat yourself aisle.
treat yourself aisle.
aka- candles and bath salts
A quick stop in my office-
teal, wheat, grey
Blush, gray, faded book pages and just a touch of teal
and gold.
I am not a huge fan of bold colors-
but those pretty glasses talked to me and so I styled the mantel
around a couple of them.
Outdoors, and yes, more copper.
Did I mention I am obsessed?
Copper mugs,
copper wine glasses
and even a copper table
Pumpkins are scarce over here yet
but we did score a few just starting to be ripe ones from a pumpkin patch over the weekend
and I am loving them.
The pea gravel patio and a quick peek at the table setting
Again.. did I mention that I was obsessed with copper?
Because… yeah… whatever. It is known now.
This table setting was SO much fun to style and shoot
and I can hardly wait to share more with you
And finally, the hammock…
a little bit of refuge from a busy day- which is where I need to be right about now.
And if you are here reading this even now-
big high fives for reading that long.
Hammocks pretty much speak to me…
especially when piled high with chunky knits, ruffled blankets and
slightly decadent but oh so comfy pillows-
the hammock is the spot to be
in the late afternoon.
and going into evening works too.

I was all frantic this morning….running around. And then? Then I stopped by your home tour and took a moment to soak in fall.
You made my morning.
