Fall Home Tour 2021: Cozy + Neutral Modern Farmhouse Kitchen

I love a cozy fall kitchen! Fall is the launch of the holiday season, and setting my kitchen up so that it’s a warm, inviting space really helps me set the tone for all the upcoming gatherings! I have a few new additions to the kitchen this year including a rug under the dining table, some lamps (LOVE a lamp in a kitchen- so unexpected but add so much coziness!), and some new framed prints throughout. I have linked all the items I used to decorate my space below as well as similar options for anything that is one-of-a-kind/vintage. Take a little tour of my autumn kitchen through the photos below!

Fall Home Tour 2021: Spooky Autumn Front Porch

The space in my home where I always have the MOST fun decorating for fall is without a doubt, my front porch! Since this is the entry into our home and also visible from the outside to passersby, I always want to go all out! I wanted to create a porch that is fun for the Halloween season, with aspects that are also very traditional fall- it’s the best of both worlds!

I have enjoyed adding these bats to the walls as well as the sticks and crows for the last couple of years, and this year I even added some 3-dimensional hanging bats as well! I also gave a basic fall wreath an upgrade for my front door by adding some craft store Halloween supplies like mini skulls, spiders, and bats as well as dried fall stems! The space is completed with tons of pumpkins and planters filled with mums throughout!

My Magical Autumn Greenhouse

I don’t think it gets more magical than a little greenhouse + twinkle lights + allll the pumpkins. While trying to figure out where I was going to put all these pumpkins from my latest trip to the produce auction, I spotted my little, still empty greenhouse out in the yard and instantly had a vision of a magical little backyard fall scene. I pulled all the props, planters, baskets, and pieces used around and inside the greenhouse from my garage or shed and dug some old Christmas lights out from storage. I had so much fun setting it up and I wish I could pick it up and transport it all over for more people to enjoy it! Sometimes you gotta do something just for fun and forget about how practical it is!

All the Tips + Tricks for Cleaning and Preserving Your Pumpkins

Pumpkin season is here and y’all know I’m officially pumpkin OBSESSED. Last year, I even went to a pumpkin AUCTION and bought an entire truckload of pumpkins just for my own decor (and I used every single one, and could have probably used more!). Since I invest so much time and money in pumpkins each year, I’m always on the lookout for new ideas for keeping my pumpkins fresh and pretty through the end of October. I’ve rounded up every single trick, tip, and hack for caring for your pumpkins and keeping them looking their best through the entire fall season.
