Fall Vibes are here

Fall decor is coming out strong in our home.. excited to share a sneak peek with y’all. I love to decorate the front porch, entryway, mudroom, and the formal dining room first since guests walk into these spaces first, then I do the kitchen, smaller dining table in eat in kitchen area, and the mantel then trickle some off throughout the house. Every room basically has some type of fall decor. 

I’m about to start decorating for Halloween the end of next week for the start of October but I want to share some of my fave spots. Be sure to follow me on IG @cr8tivewanderlust if you don’t already to see recent photos and story posts sharing tours of my home, as well as diy and decor highlights.. 

Let’s get into the fall mood now... 

I hope you love a little preview of some of my favorite decor for fall from some of my favorite spaces in our home.. I’m loving the neutral boho fall touches and a few areas have some pops of color. Will be sharing those colorful spaces soon... have a great weekend friends. Peace love and light always ✌🏼💙✨

Fall Front Porch Decor

Hey friends, guess what? It’s fall y’all.. I know cheesy but I couldn’t help myself especially since I love to use y’all all the time. I wanted to hop on in case you don’t follow me over on my IG account to share some of current fall decor I have been sharing.

I’m super excited to be able to collaborate with Old Time Pottery for Fall and Halloween. I hit the store and we found so many amazing wreaths, decor accents, signs, pillows, and then don’t even get me started on Halloween decor. I’m excited to start putting up the Halloween decor next week before the end of the week or over the weekend. It’s been years since I got new decor for Halloween so this year thanks to Old Time Pottery I was inspired to redo my front porch and house with new pieces. 

Let me show you my fall front porch all thanks to the amazing Old Time Pottery. I wanted to add real pumpkins, mums and maybe some corn husks but it’s so hot, rainy and humid here in Florida still. This week was in the 90’s all week. But the evenings are cooling down some so hopefully after I start my Halloween decor out front I can add some purple or orange mums then a few real pumpkins as we get  closer to Halloween. 

I always love to o add new pillows for each season to the front porch rocking chairs. Old times Pottery has an amazing selection of pillows for every theme, style and season or holiday.  I also found this amazing galvanized metal pumpkin lantern that has 3 battery operated candles perfect for the small table between the chairs. I’m going to be painting my front planter and then moving a lot of the potted plants to the back yard deck area. 

I found this cute easel style fall sign to add to our porch that I  adore. 

The welcome scarecrow on the hay is also from Old Time Pottery, then a couple faux pumpkins add the touch I was wanting with real ones but don’t have to worry about rotting from the heat and attracting bugs until it cools down.  

 

I love the wreath we picked out, I think the colors are great for fall and Halloween, then I have a cute idea to add a few small things I found to the wreath to make it go perfectly with my Halloween decor. 

Love to layer mats and this plaid mat is perfect, just when it rains I remove the bottom mat so it doesn’t get soaked and leave the core style mat only. 

I hope y’all love the pieces I picked up from Old Time Pottery, seriously they have the largest selection of decor. You will find some great pieces for whatever your decor style or colors are for this season. 

Close up of my metal pumpkin candle lantern and reversible fall pillow that had plaid on the back then this design on the front. Be sure to stop back by here this time next week or over next weekend to see my start of my Halloween decor. All my Halloween front porch decor is from Old Time Pottery then planning to stop by and pick up a few more pieces to add.. Have a great Friday and weekend. Peace, love and light always xoxo

Stone Cottage Home Bedding

 Hey there everyone. I will have more fall decor photos to share later this weekend. I wanted to hope over here and share my recent refresh to our master bedroom. I collaborated with the amazing Stone Cottage Home to update our duvet cover and sheets for fall. I picked out their botanical print sheet set and striped duvet cover set. 

I love blue it’s my favorite color so this striped duvet set added the perfect pop of blue color with dark and light gray stripes on a white backdrop. Adding some simple navy pillows and white textured pillows along with 2 sets of euro shams, the larger white ones are a quilted simple sham then a knit darker gray for fall and winter. 

I love how much changing the bedding can totally refresh the room and make it feel brighter. I love how cozy and welcoming the space is. Also I think if you have followed me for some time now you know I love pillows and layering the bedding. I took the top sheet off for fall and winter adding simple inexpensive plush thin blankets in gray and blue tones for extra warmth when the temps finally cool down. A funny little note I keep our home thermostat on 70.  My entire family is always saying how cold it is but I’m always warm. I also love a colder room at night to cuddle up and get cozy for bed. I seem to sleep better in a cooler space with lots of layers. What do you like your home temperature set at? Are you a warm person? I think for me it’s my early menopause lol. Okay I know I’m not there yet but getting closer lol. 

I also love hanging plants I had this duo dyed cream today gray macrame plant hanger in my laundry room over a year or so and decided to move it next to the window. I truly wanted the eclectic and boho touches here in the bedroom. I also have a faux cattle skull and some feather decor on the TV wall. Subtle and simple decor just to add more of my personal character to our room. 

The pop of blue is simple and subtle but adds the perfect vibes to the space. Blue is my fave color so it makes me smile. I could add a rug with blue pops but I like to change out my bedding regularly and have a few sets I love that I change back and forth between. 

Here you can see the lovely botanical soft print in a light gray and white. This is also by Stone Cotdage and king size fitted and flat sheets with 2 king pillow cases 

I love the oversized fitted sheet sometimes finding a good fit sheet isn’t easy. These sheets are super soft and I truly enjoy the print mixed with the striped duvet cover. Also they are so neutral they will mix well with solid and other printed duvet covers I alternate between throughout the seasons. 

I love adding texture, here I used a rattan feather palm look piece I found online, with a basket from Homegoods and some floral rattan pieces from Hobby Lobby. This just adds to my bohemian, eclectic gypsy vibes I love.  

 

I love eclectic finds, the hanging lantern is a candle holder I found back 8-10 years ago at Homegoods. I have 6 of them in different shapes, sizes and colors all throughout the home. I love Moroccan and Turkish designs these truly add a great touch to many space. 

As you can see I have the back white quilted euro shams mixed with a darker gray knit euro sham, both from Target then added the matching king shams. The navy pillows are inexpensive Walmart velvet textured pillows that come in a 2 pack and then a fun boho textured chenille lumbar pillow with fun Pom Pom style tassels by Willow and Beech. 

The custom made sign over our master bed, is a solid wood sign with a light gray wooden frame. The lyrics are from my fave Fleetwood Mac sign and I wanted something that had personal meaning but wasn’t a phrase you see over some many other beds. Something personal to us as a couple. I love picking out and having custom made pieces so they are unique to my home and style to add personal character to our home. 

The Wingback bed, champagne night stands and dresser then the feather candle scones are all by Z Galleries. Mirrors that are above both night tables are from Kirkland’s. Lamps, larger wall mirror which I had leaning but hung so that it wouldn’t fall over are from Homegoods. I hope you enjoyed the refresh of my master bedroom. You can see my master bedroom on my Instagram page and then also on PotteryBarn.com under McKenna paisley duvet. It was such a honor to have them feature my bedding and set up several times on their website. 

Have an amazing weekend and sending lots of peace, love and light always. ✌🏼💙✨
