Can you believe September is just two weeks away now? I always look forward to fall nesting. Even though I feel so sad without our sweet Jack here, as I wrote in my book A Lovely Life, bringing beauty into our home and life can be therapeutic.
So, I pulled myself together and took my own advice this week. I practiced what I know to be true.
My husband is still planning to return to painting our door and porch next week, but I wanted to do something simple to bring a touch of fall inside. I found everything I needed at Wayfair.
With a small or awkward space it can be a little challenging to find affordable pieces that are pretty, fit the dimensions of the room and serve needs of the family. Wayfair has lots of smaller scale cottage style furnishings and accessories, so that made it much easier.
The colors in this rug felt like just the right touch to add a layer of coziness and it came in this smaller size (3’6 x 5’6). I love that the colors of the rug bring our palette together. It sets the tone for our style and color palette at the front door.
This half round table adds style and makes our small entry functional. I’ve wanted to find a table similar to the one we had but with the lower shelf and a deeper drawer. This one is just what I was hoping to find! The color is so lovely and cottagey, too.
This lamp with the adorable scalloped shade is tall and narrow, and it leaves room for the rattan storage boxes or whatever we’d want to put here. When you have a small rounded surface, it can be hard to make it functional, but these woven boxes work great!
And finally, the wreath adds a welcoming touch of fall. It’s really cute — I love how the color plays so nicely against the door and with the furniture in here, too.
Now when we walk in this room it feels like a warm gentle hug. A cozy reminder of all the love and beauty that makes our home our sanctuary in all seasons. I have a few more ideas for this space, but it’s a start.
Thank you all for your kind comments on my last post about Jack. I am reading each one and taking every word to heart — you are a blessing to me and to our family.
