Too busy to decorate for Halloween? Maybe not…

When it comes to Halloween decor, a little effort truly goes a long way.

Typically, I simply layer a few Halloween inspired details on top of my everyday decor and it usually is just enough to make an impact without having to store or buy a lot of of seasonal accents.

A few examples from this video include:
💀 Leaning a skeleton cheeseboard against cutting boards in the kitchen
🎃 Swapping a planter basket for a jack-o’-lantern bucket
🕯️Dropping a fall candle inside a skull lantern
👻 Placing a couple of cute marble ghost coasters on the coffee table.

Simple, easy, and just spooky enough!

(Everything shown is from past years, but I’ve linked lots of similar options!)

Here's a fun idea for a Fall styling project.

Create a music station with a record player, some vintage vinyl and a pretty live plant.

I love this record player because it also plays my Spotify playlists via Bluetooth!

#LTKHome #LTKFindsUnder50

One of my favorite entry or hallway vignettes is a comfy upholstered bench with a blanket casually tossed on top for texture and an oversized floor basket nearby to collect shoes and clutter.

What I bought ➡️ How I styled it
🖤Party barn bathroom edition🖤

We added a small bathroom to our party barn and it’s a pretty utilitarian space. I didn’t want to spend a lot on the design, but luckily I found some fun accents at Target to help finish it off and give it some character!

The wavy wood mirror is so fun and really warms up the industrial black and white fixtures I selected for the space.

Linking the details- you’ll love the prices!

Grab a few packs of these inexpensive removable cord bundlers now- and thank me when it’s time to decorate your mantle for the upcoming holidays!

These damage-free hanging tools secure even heavy garlands for a beautiful drape and they leave plenty of surface for styling your mantle.

I hung my new burgundy garland with them (obsessed with the quality and color) and had my mantle decorated in under 10 minutes.

If you plan to hang garland now or later in the year, you’ll definite want to try these!

Have you ever heard of a settee?

Similar to a low bench or small loveseat, a settee is a versatile piece of furniture that you should definitely consider as you build your home furnishing collection.

A settee is great for a narrow hallway, entryway seating, extra seating in a living room or even a dining bench!

I selected this piece for our master bedroom- it’s the perfect size for the foot of a king bed! It comes in tons of fabrics. I chose my favorite chenille slate!

I also linked my bedding from Target. I’ve had it for over a year and it’s held up so well!

Short on space and need more storage? Try a back of the door solution!

I have these alllll over my house. And for under $100 all in- they give you the best organizing bang for your buck of any other product.

Making a simple roasted red sauce is my favorite easy Sunday routine.

Grab a panful of ripe tomatoes from your garden or the market, toss with herbs, olive oil, garlic and seasonings far and roast for about 30 minutes at 424. Blend when cooled and add a little bit of Parmesan and cream if you like!

I really love this roasting pan and silicon mat for easy cleanup.

A teen hangout is a great place to get a little theme-y with decor I think.

These would all be great additions to a basement, rec room, or kids room!

And as a bonus, the banquette has hidden storage under the seat for games, toys, and extra bedding 💥

My favorite neutral coffee table books for interior design.

Use these for:
• Stacking in groups of 3 to create height in shelf and table displays.
•Filling bookshelves
•Browsing for design inspiration! I specifically picked all of these books for their great content on the INSIDE.

I always love copper accents in the garden, but ESPECIALLY in the fall.

You can set this pretty copper watering can on a table or even use it as a vase to display cut stems.

The syrup pumps take it to the next level,don't you think?

White chairs are good in theory, not always so great in reality. However, I was pleasantly surprised with this swivel glider option. It's a good price point for such a substantial chair but the best part is that the slipcover is removable so I can soak it in stain solution and get it back to white every so often.

This exact model isn't avaiblable anymore but there's a very similar option that has good reviews and is on sale right now!

STYLING TIP: Use a barstool as a side table to repurpose them in a unique way!

#LTKHome

Whenever you're styling your kitchen counters and shelves, there are certain types of objects that ALWAYS work well.

Here are my picks with an autumnal twist- the perfect small accents to add fall decor to your kitchen. Add these now and they should last you all the way through the season.

•Pumpkin cast iron pot - set this out on the stove, even if you don't cook with it! I linked a few options but the one shown is a GREAT value.
•Choose one luxe candle - this one is in a non-pumpkin scent, if you're looking for something a little different.
•If you have a blank wall and need a little extra storage, hang this rattan accordion rack and use it to display dried herbs, a pretty apron, or anything that hangs.
•Brown wine glasses have a distinctly vintage feel and they're perfect for displaying on an open shelf and setting the scene for a Fall dinner party or Thanksgiving gathering.
•You can never have enough cake stands. They serve as risers to bring height to your arrangements and work expecially welI in corners. Love the warm marble.
• This cookbook stand helps display a seasonal volume AND introduces a nice warm wood tone to your space.

Happy decorating!

#LTKHome #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKautumn

Starting to think about your fall porch decor? Me too! I try to use the same items I have out year round and just pile on seasonal accents like

•pumpkins (a mix of real and faux)
•mums (again, a mix of real and faux)
•copper accents like outdoor lanterns

TIP: Add a small outdoor table and some planter stands to help mix up the heights of your display for a designer look.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome #LTKautumn

Thinking about adding some fall decor to your kitchen? Here are some subtle, seasonal accents that will add coziness and warmth without going overboard.

• Bring in a warm colored dish towel or two and hang on your stove handle, a hook or your oven.
•This uner $20 wood bowl is a great price and would look so cute filled with fresh apples or white mini-pumpkins.
•You can never have enough cutting boards and this one has a pretty scalloped edge (hurry, stock is low).
•These white yarrow faux stems look so realistic and I love the color- pop a few in the textured vase and tuck it in a corner.
•I love a little table lamp on the kitchen counter, and this one has great contrast with the warm pottery-like finish and the scalloped rattan shade.
•Add a cozy cookbook with warm colors and warm recipes to your cookbook stand (or just lean it against the backsplash facing out). Her recipes are so good...
•This rattan bowl is perfect for displaying seasonal produce on your island!

Which one is your favorite? I have my eye on them all. Make sure to follow me to see which ones I incorporate into my Fall kitchen decor - I'll show you how I style them!

Fall is a great time to do some outdoor entertaining - don't give up the S'mores just yet!

I love the ease of a propane or gas fireplace, but I have opted for one with real wood in our backyard. I just love the sound of crackling flames and the smell of smoke in the air - you can't beat the ambience.

We've had this smokeless firepit for a few years now and it had held up so well. It's perfect for getting outside and enjoying Autumn evenings.

I feel like a new notebook might be the answer to most of life’s problems.

I always buy the same one. A5 Medium, Dot Grid. Black pens only.

5 wedding gifts I’m still using 17 years later… and one thing I NEVER use (last slide 👀).

Hint? I still use:
- white and silver serving pieces
- timeless table lamps
- my KitchenAid mixer
- classic cookbooks
- my Le Creuset cookware

Absolutely not. And yet… here it is. In my house. Thanks a lot, 🎯

Seriously though… I love this vase and it’s an amazing price point for the size and style! It will be in heavy rotation the next few months!

Here are my top 6 tips for styling shelves in your home:

•Start with the largest items first and then spread them out evenly throughout the shelf (or group of shelves).
•Make sure to mix heights (tall and short items) as well as finishes (smooth, rough, shiny, matte) when choosing items to display.
•Layer items as you go - push some items toward the back of the shelves and tuck smaller items closer to the front.
•Create GROUPS of objects that go together - thinka cluster candlesticks or a stack of books.
• Follow the rule of 3 (or 5) - when creating groups try to use an odd number of objects.
•Make sure to step back and assess the composition as you go. Does it seem balanced? Does anything feel empty or too crowded? Keep adjusting until it feels right.

Don’t like knick knacks? You aren’t alone! A lot of clients hesitate to “style” their counters because they don’t want them to feel cluttered. I totally get it! The key here is to buy the prettiest possible version of the things you actually use (cooking utensils, a favorite cookbook) and let them be the decor.

Oh, and a plant 🌱 never hurts either! This one is a really good faux fern for my black thumbed friends.

In a few weeks I'll be adding a hot cocoa and coffee bar to my Fall kitchen decor, so right now I'm in the process of getting the supplies I need.

I do a mix of hot cocoa pods (for the kids) and syrups for myself.

Other must haves include:

- pretty mugs and to-go cups
- a mug rack/organizer
- glass bottle set with gold pumps (these come with a ton of labels and look so pretty)
- a pretty dishtowel to wipe up the inevitable spills!
