As my About Me page dictates, I looooooooooooooooooove fall! I love everything about it!
I’m a snuggler – fall’s good for that!
I love pumpkin – fall’s good for that!
I love football – fall’s good for that!
I love overcast weather – fall’s good for that!
I love all things cozy – fall’s good for that!
I love hot coffee – well, anytime’s good for that but – fall’s good for that!
With this chilly, overcast day making it REALLY feel autumnal, I decided to take you on a little living room tour, fall style. Here are a few things I love that make it feel cozy in our family room.
I am a lover of words so I have a few fun, chatty prints scattered about our living space.
I don’t know why I’m so drawn to that apples one, but I have quite an affinity for it. It might just stay up post-Christmas, too.
Wrexy hand-painted these pilgrims and indians when he was around 9 years old and I think they’re adorable (like him).
I put them out last year but had them on our coffee table. I’m thinking they work better up high so little hands aren’t too tempted. This one is my favorite…
the indian momma with her little papoose baby. Aren’t they sweet?
Our picture window needed a little color (color is GOOD!) so I made this felt leaf garland that I think turned out pretty cute.
These were super simple to make! I just free-handed a leaf shape, traced it onto multiple colors of felt and cut them out. Then, I had Wrex thread the yarn through the leaves (that felt can be kinda tough to poke through.) Told ya it was simple! 😉
I really dig reclaimed wood and I think this tree is so fun. I always have something hanging from the hooks and the twine, so for fall, I just did a berry wreath and a few more seasonal prints (that I’m betting little Wryder will attempt to pull down as he’s in his circle of neglect jumper.) We’ll use the actual branches come November when we add leaves to make a thankful tree.
This is above Sawyer’s and my desk where we do our preschool and computer work. I think the girl in the leaves is super cute; she’s just kinda whimsical and trendy and nonchalant all rolled into one. Plus, she has curly hair – who doesn’t love a girl with curly hair? Sawyer is in love with that little jack-o-lantern, so I put it where she can see it during our lessons.
There are other random pumpkins in a few more nooks and crannies around the room, too.
All of these warm oranges and reds make it feel extra cozy in here. Now if only I had a fireplace…and some Red Raider football on TV……….
You are such a thoughtful, warm and amazing HOME – maker. 🙂
You truly do have such a homey and cozy home. I was so amazed the first time I stepped into it and everytime after. Hoping that once I’m able to be home more that I can put as much thought and character into our home for my family to feel love and surrounded. The atmosphere in a home is oh-so important and you do that better than most people I know. In fact, I have a small handful of ladies that I know intimately that do it SO well. I’m lucky to be surrounded by all of you.
And, again, I say – right back at ya! Thanks for the sweet words. I’m thinking you both should come see it in person. 🙂
