Come September, I’m over the summer heat and about ready for a change. Although not quite able to commit to plaid wool blankets, pumpkins, and mums at my front door - I eagerly anticipate the exchange from Summer to Fall.

Labor Day always feels like the official goodbye to Summer for me so I’m welcoming Fall as it’s one of my favorite seasons! One problem, it’s still hot in Nashville but we can visually start making the shift from the bright colors to natural earth tones. Whether it’s in the clothes we wear, home accessories, the food we eat, etc. Also, the children are in their second week of school and we’re settling back into some nice routines around here - lots of shifts going on and it’s quite lovely!

I’ve thrown together some of the things that I’m inspired by for September - holding on to natural textures, the vibrant greens of summer florals while welcoming rich warm velvets and gold tones. I’m in love with this acorn/leaf motif fabric, my Grandmother’s music box, and Husband’s fishing flask - of course a touch of antiquity & silver - always! This is my kind of palette and it’s the perfect mix of the two seasons.

Anything goes this month. If you love Summer, let it linger — eager for Fall, dive right in! Or if you’re like me enjoy the blurred lines of the seasons and this month of transitions.

Hope this inspires you. What do you gravitate towards during this month? I would love to know! Leave a comment below or send me a message.
