It’s fall show and tell. This season being so incredibly jam packed with work, family activities, and events (three birthdays, the million holidays, and like so many days that the kids don’t have school – anyone else call it “no school November”?) And yet I was SO over summer by the end and ready to hunker down (still waiting to do that TBH). Regardless, we had these two perfect partnerships just for Instagram and I loved the product so much that I hired Kaitlin to shoot them for the blog here, too. So hopefully it’s some eye candy or inspiration, and if you are in the market for some pieces that give fall vibes, know that I love all of these a lot.
Purple and Orange??????? YES!!!
Vase | Table Runner | Wood Pumpkin Board | Candlestick Holders (similar) | Taper Candles (similar) | Pumpkin Candles | Pumpkin Mugs | Cocktail Napkins | Wine Glasses | Plates | Flatware | Napkins
This one really surprised me – orange and purple is not my typical color palette and yet it’s perfectly “harvest festive” and definitely has some Halloween vibes. I loved it. I suppose this works because the “purples” are nuanced – some more brown like the runner and others more mauve like the plates and napkins. And then orange, y’all I typically don’t LOVE orange, but the flowers (which I clipped off a potted plant from Lowe’s) made this all come alive and sing “FALL!” in a really elevated way.
I ordered the runner, cocktail napkins, mugs, vase, and cutting board from Anthro (I had everything else, also from Anthro) and threw in some of their orange candle pumpkins. I swear everything looks good in this room, but I would not have predicted that I would love this as much as I do.
Not my favorite pic and certainly weird that I’m drinking an empty glass by myself (on Gretchen’s 30th birthday no less), but nice to see some “life” in there (and human for scale).
Who knew that I’d end up incorporating so much of this tone of “pink” in my house – our powder bath, the flowers on the mural on the barn, and our guest room. I’m also pleased to say that we have a lot of really pretty mauvey-purple rugs coming in our next rug collection.)
Ottoman | Vase | Candle | Mug | Drink Table | Pillow | Throw Blanket
Target nailed it per usual – After being their spokesperson for 8 years it’s fun to do these looser partnerships. I also hadn’t been in a while compared to how often I used to go and it’s dangerous, y’all. I bought (and love) the ottoman (actually a way better scale for that chair than my old leather ottoman), the rabbit-fur-soft pillow, throw and I had been eyeing that blue glass vase for a long time. It’s so pretty with the light coming through it and looks very expensive.
That candle, my goodness, it smelled so delicious – like pumpkin cookies in a really good way.
It’s just the coziest 🙂 Also, that drink table is from Target and looks very elevated for the price.
In the kitchen, I put more of those fall flowers in that perfectly wobbly vase that has a really good scale, texture, and shape. It’s big so it can hold a large and tall arrangement. The bowl also looks handmade, with pretty stoneware for our fall apples dripping off our apple tree (still searching for the time to cut and dry them).
Glass Pumpkin | Marble Dish | Candlestick Holders
Likely the most unsuspected love here is the glass pumpkin (so pretty) and the $8 candle holders that look far more high-end for that great price. The little marble round doughnut dish is perfect for jewerly, bathroom styling, or nuts.
Hand Towel | Candle | Vase
Lastly, I threw a few pretty new things in the bathroom – the stoneware vase from Threshold – look at those handles! And the texture is so pretty. And another pretty fall candle that spells so good. A new mauve towel, too 🙂 BTW I’m not totlaly happy with this bathroom and debating getting a more modern mirror – I like that vintage one, but a black oval would be a better shape. Shout out to my anemonies – those flowers are just ridiculously pretty in the yard right now. Happy fall, y’all.
