Simple Fall Decor Inspiration

Our Home

18 Sep

Happy (almost) Fall guys! If you’re coming from my girl Lindsay’s tour, thank you so much for stopping over here too and it’s great to have you. Her stunning living room gave me all the Fall farmhouse feels. She is also hosting this Fall tour today, so thanks for that Lindsay! Make sure to continue the tour at the end of this post to go see a ton of Fall inspiration from my other buddies.

For the past few years, I’ve really gone all out for Fall decor. I even put pumpkins in my bedroom! Haha. I guess you could say that I love Fall. There is something about the Fall weather that just makes me so happy inside. If you don’t know, I live in Massachusetts, so the Fall here is gorgeous. Crisp air, beautiful colored leaves, apple picking, and alllll the pumpkins! But since we have Layla now, “things” don’t mean as much to me as they used to. I used to have so much decor and I recently did a purge of a lot of stuff because I want a simpler life.

This year for the season, I decided to be intentional. I wanted to create a pretty Fall atmosphere, yet remain simple at the same time. I used pumpkins and greenery to create this season’s vibe. I kept the same color palette as the previous year, using blues, greens, whites and tan. The dining room is usually my favorite place to decorate, but as you can see, I left the tablescape pretty and effortless. We’re doing a Halloween dining room this year to have some fun with Layla, so I didn’t want to go ALL out with Fall decor just to take it down in a few weeks.

We have a lot of plants in the house (7 right now) and more to come. Did you know for every 100 sq ft of your home, you should have one plant? It helps to purify the air and pull out the toxins. I’m really loving the green vibes with the blue + green pumpkins we have. It just seems fresh to me.

We recently changed around the living room and got new furniture, and I’m loooooving the Fall vibes in here. Modern chic, with a touch of pumpkin. I think our dog Sadie likes it too, don’t you think?

That’s it! Short and sweet tour for you guys today. The only other place I decorated and didn’t show is my essential oils station in the kitchen. I have a sign and some pumpkins there to add some fun to the kitchen as well. I hope you all enjoyed the simplicity of our fall decorations this year. Have you downsized your decor over the years or because of your children? Let me know I’m not alone in the comments!

Make sure to head on over to my friend Kelly’s tour next to see her gorgeous Fall porch and bedroom. You can also click below to see all of the gorgeous inspiration from these ladies. I love seeing everyone’s different style and decorations!

This is such an easy way to make sourdough pasta! This is such an easy way to make sourdough pasta! No fancy pasta attachment required. 

INGREDIENTS: 
-3 cups of flour (I used freshly milled white wheat)

DIRECTIONS:
1. Place everything in mixer and until dough smooths out. Or create a well with flour, add eggs and starter and mix on the counter. 
2. Let dough ferment for at least 30 min. 
3. Divide into 8ish sections, dust counter with lots of flour, then roll as thin as possible. 
4. Use a pizza cutter to cut pieces as desired. Make sure to be using lots of flour so nothing sticks! 
5. Lay on a cooling rack or hang to dry for at least 30 min. 
6. Boil water, add salt and once boiling cooking for 6-7 minutes. 

We enjoyed this pasta in a tomato pesto chicken alfredo, it was so good!
