How I Cozied Up My Living Room For Fall With At Home

Hey everyone, I hope you’re all doing well. I know it’s a been a little while since my last blog post, but I took some time off after my birthday before busy season begins. Then of course right when I was ready to get back to work Blake and I were struck with a stomach bug. Fortunately, I’m back in the office today and I’m sharing how I cozied up my living room for fall with my local At Home store.

At Home carries a wide variety of furniture pieces, bedding, home accessories and decorative objects at affordable prices. They’ve got you covered from your kitchen and your living room to all your bedrooms and bathrooms. They even carry outdoor furniture and accessories too. Scroll through this post to see how I spruced up my living room for fall with At Home.

The first aisle I always like to visit at my local At Home store is the throw pillow aisle because throw pillows are like stuffed animals for adult women. LOL Not only do I find throw pillows lovable, but they’re also the easiest way to give your living room or bedding a little update. Changing up your pillows can shift the whole look of the room.

If you follow along with Haute Off The Rack regularly, then you know my living room was super bright and colorful this past spring and summer. So I decided to shift gears back into neutral with these grey velvet pillows and textured throws for Fall. I think they will transition nicely into holiday too.

After passing through the pillow aisle, I always like to stop and and admire all of the decorative little objects like these pretty little pumpkins. I made sure to grab two with each of our initials to place on our mantel. I even came across these beautiful ‘gather’ sign that I placed in the center of the mantle surrounded by greenery and pumpkins.

I don’t know if it’s because travel is such huge part of my life, but I always gravitate towards decorative globes. I already have two displayed in my home, but when I spotted this one at my local At Home store, I knew I needed him too.

Last but not least, I scooped up some lanterns, mini hay bales and candles from At Home before picking up some pumpkins and mums at my local feed and seed store. The lanterns and hay bales added the perfect touches to my front porch pumpkin display for fall.

3 Tips on How To Host Your First Friendsgiving

1) Create a menu & guest list! Send out an invite to all of your guests a couple weeks out and begin planning out your menu so you can start prepping the dishes 2-3 days before your party. Decide on the dishes you’re going to cook and the items you’re going to order and make sure you order them with plenty enough time. It’s also fun to create a menu with your friends and host pot luck where everyone brings a dish.

As I mentioned before, we started a supper club with our friends a few months ago where each couple takes turns hosting everyone at their house for dinner once a month. So it was our turn to make all of the dishes ourself. With that being said, we had a lot of food to prepare so we decided to order an already cooked turkey and gravy and then we made all of the side dishes and desserts ourselves.

Recipes:

Mac & Cheese | http://www.thatwhichnourishes.com/the-mac-and-cheese/

Green Bean Casserole | https://thenovicechefblog.com/the-best-green-bean-casserole/

Stuffing | Blake’s grandmother came over & made her personal recipe with me. I can’t think of a more perfect time to learn your grandmother’s recipes than during the holidays. We had so much fun making new recipes we found online, but it’s also nice to use a family recipe and learn how to make it so you can pass it down to your own kids.

Sweet Potato Casserole | https://addapinch.com/sweet-potato-casserole-pecan-topping/

Pumpkin Squares | My mom came over to make pumpkin squares with me because it was my late uncle’s recipe.

1 can of pumpkin
3 eggs
1 large can of pet milk (aka condensed milk)
2 cups of sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 box of Duncan Hines Butter Cake Mix
1 Cup of chopped pecans (a little more is ok)
2 sticks of melted butter (1 cup)
1 small Cool Whip
1 8 oz. Philadelphia Cream Cheese

Mix pumpkin, 3 eggs, pet milk, 1 cup of sugar and cinnamon. Stir until all blended. Pour liquid mixture into a 13 x 9 inch pan lined with wax paper. Then sprinkle the box of cake mix on top. Sprinkle pecans next. Pour melted butter on top of pecans & cake mix and bake for one hour at 350 degrees. After baked, let cool ten minutes. Then turn the cake over but do not take the wax paper off until completely cooled. Mix one cup of sugar and Philedelphia Cream Cheese. After blended, add 1 small container of cool whip. Ice the whole cake and refrigerate. Cut into squares and keep refrigerated until serving.

Irish Coffee Dessert Drink | ingredients: coffee, Pralines & Creams Liqueur (you can find this at your local World Market as well as select grocery stores), cool whip (we ended up making our own whipped cream using a cup of sugar and heavy cream), Clear Irish Mugs, Cream-Filled Rolled Wafers & some fun straws

2) Tis the time to be a little extra! Pop open some champagne! Light some holiday candles and create a Friendsgiving playlist to set the mood. Go out of your way to make your guests feel special by placing custom name cards on everyone’s seats and be sure to always keep their drinks full.

3) Get interactive! Have everyone go around the table and say what they’re grateful for or play a fun game after dinner.

How to Give Your Home a Cozier Feel for Fall!

October 24, 2018

Hey everyone, I know it’s been a while since my last blog post, but Blake and I were traveling through France for a few weeks and then we were faced with a family tragedy when we returned home. So my priorities shifted for bit, but I’m back now and I have lots of amazing content planned for you this fall and holiday season. Today I’ve partnered with World Market to share three easy ways to give your home a cozier feel for fall.

| Shop My Living Room |

1) Warm Furry Blankets! What sounds cozier than a warm, faux fur blanket…nothing, right? That’s why blankets are the best items to start with when it comes to preparing your living room for fall. World Market offers plenty of different types of throws, but I always go for the faux fur ones. You can never have enough blankets in the fall and winter especially when you invite guests over. Plus they instantly give your house a more chic and “homey” feel. I especially love this Diamond Faux Fur Throw.

I also recommend the Sackcloth & Ashes blankets because they help provide blankets to homeless shelters. Any time you purchase a Sackcloth throw blanket, another one will be donated to a shelter in need. Each blanket is crafted of thick, warm fabric with fringe detail at both ends. With a beautiful neutral color palette of tan, cream and brown with powder-blue accents, this throw has a Southwest-inspired arrow motif that adds warmth, figuratively and literally, to any space.

2) Fluffy Throw Pillows! Once you’re good to go with blankets, I’m sure you knew that throw pillows would be next! I just got these gold splatter cowhide throw pillows to update my living room, but I’ve also been having these Mongolian faux fur throw pillows for a few years too. If you already have too many throw pillows on your sofa and chairs, I also love these faux fur stools for extra seating or foot rests.

You can also dress up your current ottomans, chairs or benches that you already own with one of these Mongolian sheepskins rugs. I’m draped sheepskin rug over a linen bench that I’m currently using as a coffee table until I pick one out. As soon as I find a coffee table that I love, I’m going to move this bench over to my dining table for additional seating.

3) Storage Displays and Baskets! Where else did you think you were going to put all of these extra beautiful pillows and blankets? Surely not hidden in a closet? No! You need these cozy accessories on display. This gorgeous macrame tote basket is perfect for storing all of your warm winter home accessories.

For all the other things that you don’t want on display, I recommend this beautiful white and gray lidded basket. These kind of baskets make it easy for you clean up quickly when you’re unexpectedly surprised with guests.

Cozy Living Room Additions

Thank you to World Market for bringing you this post. All opinions & selections are my own.

Happy Sunday everyone, I hope you’ve all been enjoying this beautiful weekend even though now it’s raining. Today I’m sharing some of my recent cozy living room additions with World Market. If you saw my bedroom makeover post last month, then you know how much I’ve been loving blush, gold and faux fur accents so of course I had to incorporate those colors into my living room too. Fortunately, World Market had plenty of gold accent pieces, blush accessories and faux fur everything to help me update my living room for fall!
