The Fall fair is a place where flashy lights mix perfectly with corn mazes, food stands, displays of pumpkins and mums, and plenty of live stock.. Every Fall on (Canadian) Thanksgiving long weekend, there’s a Fall fair here that we really enjoy going to.
The first thing that we did was bring in this big farmhouse table that seats 8-10 easily.In the kitchen of my dreams, there would be a big table, just like this with black Windsor chairs right in the middle of the room instead of the islands that most kitchens have these days.
When my parents suggested that this might make a nice Christmas gift last year, I jumped on it and got the table of my dreams instead of a “good for now” kinda table.That went a long way to setting the tone for the whole room.Adding in large scale light fixtures that reflect the style of kitchen that I want, not necessarily the one that I have, also really helped nudge the room in the right direction.
All of these things can be reused when it comes time to do the big reno as well, so no money was wasted!.Wow, is that ever a nice lantern!
I’m forgetting the golden oak cabinets are even there!
When our old fridge died a few months ago, I went ahead and bought the fridge I really wanted.I just took 5 minutes here and there, maybe once every few days over the course of a couple of weeks to put some stuff out around the house that made me feel cheerfully fallish and like I’d done my part to set us up for the season ahead.
Of course, big fancy decorations are awesome too, but even just little things around a room can cozy things up and boost everyone’s spirits..So here’s the living room this season:.
I honestly don’t think it’s really all that well-suited to having its picture taken right now because there isn’t really a focal point and we’re still holding off on getting a new coffee table and replacing the console table that Jack somehow managed to dismantle in the last few months since he’s been walking.It’s actually really nice and comfortable and lovely to be in this room right now with all the little reminders of fall, our favorite season, all around..
