I'll be the first to admit that when fall hits, it makes me want to buy all the things. All the new lines come out, the new colorways, and suddenly my bright and cheery home seems, well bright and cheery. I want to toss the fern in the garbage, throw the pink pillows in the closet, and go all moody and cozy. While I typically buy a thing or two, I try to keep it simple and mostly use what I already have to create a warm vibe for fall. Here are a few ways to infuse fall into your dreadfully bright and cheery home. ;)

You guys I've been trying hard to focus on one space at a time. Home size is relative so I hate to say "our home is not big," but in my world, it's a modest size. ha! Nonetheless, it's about double our old home so filling it seems daunting. Because every space "needs" something, focusing on just one is so hard! Which is why I came across these cane headboards while searching for beds on all the sites.

Raise your hand if you scroll Instagram drooling over all the home design eye candy? Also, raise your hand if you've noticed that 97% of them have amazing vintage rugs that either A) cost a fortune or B) the lucky owner scoured eBay or Etsy for hours and at just the right time snagged one for an insane price? Unfortunately, many of us don't have the time or the budget for scenario A or B. But clearly we have the great taste exhibited in both scenarios and can't buy the rug that comes with a 6 piece living room set from Bob's Discount Furniture (by the way, don't ever buy those). We could just grab a great non-vintage rug but those can also cost a fortune. So what's a stylish homeowner to do?! Well, look no further because here I am with a FUN roundup of affordable vintage-inspired rugs.

Dax turned 4 last week and we threw him a last-minute Batman party with neighborhood friends. Dax and Nadia's birthday are just one day apart and every year I try something different but whatever I try- September always seems crazy!
