Atmosphere: Nesting

Keep Fall Spicy

IMG_7718In the early morning there is crisp breeze that fills the air. While the chill doesn’t last to greet a hot Southern California afternoon, it is a nice thing to wake up to. Fall is here and stores are filled with wonderful autumn decor. One of my favorite fall colors is orange.

To liven up a table or any corner of the house for that matter, it is nice to add some pumpkins. This one addition to your decor can easily transition your home from summer to fall. I like to intermingle some leaves to add a few more hues and hints of fall throughout the home.

Without a drastic overhaul of the house, I was able to incorporate fall by adding some natural elements to my entryway. You can either purchase these things at your local craft store or search in your backyard for some pretty pinecones and leaves. I also integrated an orange book to keep this vibrant hue in focus throughout my decor.

I like to greet my guests with a warm welcome. One way to do this is by creating a welcoming atmosphere. This lovely fall wreath is a beautiful way to greet your guests and dress your home for the season.

If you don’t have any pumpkins to dress up your table, you can easily purchase some orange napkins to create a lovely tablescape.

These beautiful and ornate dinner plates are from Walmart.

If you don’t feeling like going on a decorating spree, you can simply purchase some orange candles and call it a day. You don’t have to do much in order to decorate your home for fall.

I love the beautiful red and orange hues that were used to decorate this wedding!

I wanted to share a delicious recipe! On a cold or windy autumn evening, you can cozy up with Roma Tomatoes purée with burrata cheese and basil. I hope you like it!

As the mornings begin to get even chillier, I encourage you to think outside of the box this fall and create a welcoming and warm environment for your family and guests to enjoy.
