Welcoming Autumn

Yay for Autumn, probably my favorite season of all. This is the first year that I have actually taken the time to decorate our home! I think what really inspired me is that we now have a fireplace :) Total game changer. I haven't gone overboard or anything but here is what's happening with our mantel.

I really enjoy natural looking decorations and ones that compliment the style of your home. To keep things subtle I purchased these yellow/gold leave branches from Michaels (50% off right now). I got 4 and layered them over each other. I also got a small bundle of natural wheat grass and weaved them into the leaves.

These 3 white ceramic pumpkins I found at Home Goods. They have LED lights inside so at night or when we have company over I turn them on to light up our mantle piece a bit! I'm on the hunt for a printable DIY fall banner to hang compliment it all so I will post another pic once I find one.

Along with pumpkin spice candles, candy jars and mini pumpkins here and there throughout our home; we also have a couple framed chalkboards in our living room and I ventured into chalkboard art a couple nights ago. Our chalkboards have been great because we can decorate them according to the current season….aother way we decorate according to the current style of our home :) Here's how I have 1 decorated for Autumn!

home sweet home.

visiting our favorite deli after a shoot mon/tues

We've had a huge helping of San Diego the past couple weeks. One of our friends even texted us asking if we had moved there, haha! With back to back shoots all in the same area it just made sense for us to stay with our parents instead of driving back and forth. I love our time spent at home, I also love how much we saved on groceries this month because of it. Home cooked meals at least 2x a day, we are officially spoillleeeddd. We caught up with old high school friends and went on a few family bike rides/hikes. 

Regardless of how much fun we had, it was amazing come back to our own home. We made a quick Costco run, if a Costco run can be quick? While shopping, look what I found!!
