Good morning and happy October 1st! We are just three more months away from the new year and I can’t believe it! This year has flown by!! I am so excited for October though! We have a jam packed month of fun fall activities, visitors, and another trip to Idaho! I can’t wait! We are all starting to feel better and hopefully kicking this sickness for good!
To kick off the month, I am going to talk about all my favorite fall decor and style for the home!! We are going to be in our little apartment for the next two months, so I won’t be doing much decorating. If you are new here, we are in the process of moving from Idaho to Northern California. We have been staying in corporate housing since June, while in the mean time we sold our home in Idaho and continue to search for a home here. Our apartment is furnished and all of our belongings are tucked away in storage for the time being. I won’t lie, it has been hard to not decorate and have all my stuff at arms reach! I quickly remind myself that it’s just stuff. It’s one season that I may not get to decorate my house. It really is okay!
Okay so since I am not decorating my house, I have been still doing a lot of dreaming!! I have seen so much fall inspiration from some of my favorite bloggers + Pinterest ! Who else scrolls through the endless pages of pinterest while football is consuming your Sunday!? If you aren’t following me, you should! Click here, Corrine Monique , to check out my boards!
Front Porch
This is my favorite thing to decorate during fall! I love all the beautiful fall florals, and the endless amounts and colors of pumpkins! In the past I have added height and dimension with fun boxes and metal buckets! This year I am obsessed with the way this front porch turned out. Liz from Liz Marie Blog lives on the perfect little farm and I love following along with her blog! She is always making every little corner of her home so cozy and welcoming + she is beautiful inside and out! I love how real she is and her and her hubby Jose are just the sweetest. You would think that I have met them or something… I have not, but how fun would it be if I could!!!? Do yourself a favor and check her blog out!!
So my absolute favorite thing this year for all the fall decor is the addition of kale and cabbage! Who knew?? I have always been drawn to the mums of course but I am obsessed with the kale plants. It totally gives the traditional fall pumpkin decor a modern different vibe, and I love it!! You could bring this inside as well! I think white pumpkins and kale for a center piece would be gorgeous!! Just go check out the entire front porch post on Liz Marie Blog !
My favorite thing to decorate with for fall inside my house is velvet pumpkins!!! I am kicking myself for not grabbing my velvet pumpkin bin. Jules probably would have given me a big no on that one haha! I feel like velvet pumpkins are so classy, yet give me all the fall vibes I need! I am not big on decorating for Halloween, but I love throwing my black velvet pumpkins out to give a darker fall mood during the week of Halloween! The more the better is how I feel! I like to stick to neutral colors instead of the oranges, but really any velvet pumpkin will do!
I always love decorating my mantel for every holiday/season! I am usually drawn to pulling in some greenery, but this year I am loving the simply more twiggy look. I like to create a bit of a collage with lots of different textures.
Just add a few candles and all the cozy throw blankets and pillows and you are set!! I love this time of year! Snuggling on the couch + sipping a warm cup of coffee are just a few of my favorite things! What are you most excited about this season??
XO,
Corrine Monique
