A little cheer

Growing up in the perfect country home, fall decor was a no-brainer. My Mom always had cozy smelling candles burning, leaves and pumpkins all around the house. I have so many wonderful memories of the fall. I'm not quite sure what it is that gets me so excited about this season (other than the fact that I LOVE cold weather clothes far more than summer clothes, and it means christmas is a comin!!) The house I grew up in was made to be decorated for the fall. And my Mom perfected it every year. This being my first year having a place of my own to decorate, there were several challenges. Nate and I live in a one bedroom blank slate apartment with white walls and two windows. Zero character. Zero coziness. Zero charm. So I ransacked my Mom's fall decor and did manage to add a little touch of fall-coze to our place.

Nate brought these beauts home for me last week:

Mums from my Mum
No fall decor here. I just wanted to brag on how beautifully perfect my husband made our bed.
Now I'm off to finish dinner.... chili and cornbread tonight with this sweet man.
yum yum yum

  2. Gotta love chili and cornbread! I absolutely love your cute apartment... it's a challenge to spruce up white walls sometimes, I know this also. But you did a great job :)
