Florida Living and Coastal Decor
All in Fall
Changing up my decor for the seasons can be as simple as switching out what’s in the vase on our dining room console table or exchanging the the living throw pillow covers for something more cozy for the fall season.
I set out to find some art that would invoke the feeling of fall, while also having the usual “coastal” components, like water and/or a beach. In case you’re wondering what exactly “invokes the feeling of fall”, here is my opinion: Fall is moodier, darker, but warmer at the same time. I think I found the perfect image for my living room that has all of the above! I haven’t decided yet, but I may even continue to use it all the way through Christmas ;)
Here’s how I added a touch of fall in our bathroom with a pumpkin soup bowl that also serves a functional purpose. At the end of the post, I’ll give you ten more ways to repurpose it, as well as sources for other lidded bowls that are perfect for the holidays!
Recently, I was scrolling Instagram and came across a small business and online shop, Linen & Sand. What caught my eye was that coastal and neutral was combined so beautifully. I absolutely love the Sun-Baked Neutrals line that Lisa (owner of Linen & Sand and fellow Floridian) had on her site!) I selected a few favorites from the shop and have used them to bring some warm autumn vibes into my kitchen!
Even most of us who love all things summer and beachy tend to get excited for wearing boots in the fall! But, if you live in a warm climate, socks and boots are not very comfortable or practical when it’s still 90 degrees. So, here are some great options for dressing your feet for fall if it’s still hot where you live!
Over the past several weeks, I’ve been blogging about all of my fun finds at my local andThat! store as part of a fun shopping challenge! This is my 4th challenge to make all of the things cozy this fall for just under $150! My favorite thing about andThat! is that it won’t break the bank. You can walk out of that store with a cart full of goodies and feel great about the value you’re getting!
This might be my favorite challenge yet, because “coziness” comes in all shapes and forms, doesn’t it? Perhaps “cozy” is also in the eye of the beholder, so I’ll just show you what cozy looks like to me! ;)
Fall is officially here and I’m really happy to be bringing you my fall home tour in a blog hop with 5 other wonderful bloggers that I’ve been blessed to connect with and get to know! At the end of my tour, all of the other bloggers and their fall home tours will be linked up. Shall we get started? Come on in!
I'm so thrilled to be joining these sweet and talented bloggers for the Loveliest Looks of Fall Tour! It's September in Florida, which means we are still having 90 degree days! That's one reason I like to keep my decor feeling light and airy while starting to add in some cozy touches. It's my way of transitioning our home from summer to fall.
Queue the drum roll! It's officially Pumpkin Spice Season!! I was a closet pumpkin supporter. Little pumpkins have been popping up in my decor here and there but I was too afraid to post them for fear of the angry internet mobs railing against the inevitable disappearance of summer. But when Starbucks says it's okay, then it must be okay, right? I'm totally rolling my eyes at that sentiment because (don't shun me) I'm not a huge fan of Starbucks. So, I created my own cute and delicious little coffee station with the help of andThat! ;)
Never had I dreamed of welcoming fall with such open arms! But here I am, a Florida resident, loving the heck out of my sweet, Southern fall! I believe the key to this phenomenon lies within the "Florida resident" part of that sentence. You see, I am from Michigan, where it could require a snowsuit to go trick-or-treating, and where October seems to have the last of the sunshine you'll see until April. There are certainly plenty of folks up north that love fall, I have just never been one of them! So back to the "Florida resident" part again...
