It hit me this morning that it’s been exactly one year since we moved into our townhouse!
One year (and 6 days) ago, we got the keys to the very first home we owned and walked through the door to this:
We then went about filling it to overflowing and setting out to make it feel like home.
Right away, I jumped into a Bloggers’ One Room Challenge project and gave this space a makeover:
We haven’t made any major changes since then, other than moving the furniture around a few hundred times…
Here it is now~
I’ve made peace with our current furniture situation, but I keep an eye out for something that might fit the space better. For now, it’s comfy, cozy, and relaxing…
The Billy Bookcase system from IKEA is still my favorite feature in the room. It works hard storing all kinds of things, and it adds personality to the space.
I decided not to go heavy on Fall decor. Instead, I chose neutral tones, textures, and greenery. Taking out one shelf made room for a large wooden cutting board and a round wicker placemat.
Faux succulents have become one of my favorite decor pieces. They add a pop of pretty green life to any space… and I don’t have to remember to water them!
Inspired by another blogger’s mauve color scheme for Fall, I headed to the dollar store to see if I could find something similar. I ended up with a few bunches of faux flowers and a table centerpiece, which I took apart and turned into 3 different arrangements.
This one is my favorite, but I also added one to the buffet hutch,
and to the end table by the couch.
It adds a little fresh color to the room for the new season.
Do you change up your decor when the seasons change? If so, what are your favorite Fall decor pieces? I’d love to know!
PS: I just remembered that I have a YouTube channel (and I may start adding a few new things there…). Below I’ll link a Fall styling video I made a while ago. It’s not earth-shattering, but you might want to check out the one lone comment on it. It made me laugh out loud!!:) Obviously, I haven’t followed her advice…tee hee…
