Hi everyone and welcome back to my channel. If it's your first time here, make sure you hit that subscribe button so you can see all of my upcoming 2022 fall decorating videos. And if you want fall inspiration right now, I will have a playlist with all of my fall decorating and DIY videos from previous years linked below. So as you can tell, I took down my summer decor and I'm starting with a clean blank canvas. I usually leave my house like this for a few days so I can reset, calm my space, see if I can use items I already have in a new way and just overall get inspired to decorate for the new season. So today we're going to decorate my home for early fall, really set the bones for the last half of the year, which means adding in warm tones using copper, adding softness with rugs and just adding in a ton of cozy texture to get our home feeling really cozy for the last half of the year. One big change I'm doing today is I am getting new bar stools. I have had this chair type of bar stool here since we moved in and I just felt like changing things up. I wanted to try a new style and I loved these that I found at the at home store. They come in two heights and I ended up needing the taller of the two for my island, but I just love them. I will link these exact ones down below and also anything else that I show in today's video that is linkable, I will add down in the description box as well. I'm absolutely loving how these bar stools look here. I've never had this type at our big island and I just love how much clearer the view is. They're less bulky, so I just feel like it opens up our space, which I love. They have this light fabric that matches our dining room chairs and all of the detail and whitewashed wood on these I think are just so beautiful. Really love these and it was fun to change things up in here. I also picked up two runners at the at home store. Super impressed with their rug selection. They have all different sizes, designs, colors and they are at great prices. This is a one of their smaller runners. It's just under two feet wide and I think it's like eight feet or six feet, yeah, six feet long. So I'll show you the pattern in a second, but it comes rolled up like this. If you like this one, it is the D452. That's kind of how they organize all of them and how you can find them in the store. But they were $29.99 each and this is what it looks like unrolled. I love that Victorian pattern. You can see that there are some warmer tones in here and I really wanted to add in some warmth into my kitchen with these runners just because I love to add warmth any way that I can for this last half of the year. Really warm up the home for fall and winter, but also we are getting wood, like the wood look floors installed. So I figured adding in these warm toned runners on my floor would be a really fun way to kind of get the feel of what that's going to be like. I've always wanted to have the wood floors installed in our home, so I'm so excited that should be happening. We have our consult later today actually, so I'll know a little bit more when that's happening. But yeah, I'll definitely update you guys, let you know what we decide to use and obviously how it turns out. Most times with new rugs, they come so folded up, but these didn't really have that problem. I just kind of had to bend the end a little bit and it smoothed right out and was ready to go. Runners are so hard to keep in place, especially with kids and dogs running around. So I picked up these stay in place tabs, which are basically like an adhesive piece that sticks to the floor and they're supposed to keep your rugs in place. So fingers crossed, I know I will not be able to keep these here if they are constantly sliding all around. It will drive me insane. This first rug, I followed the instructions and I cut the tabs into squares like it showed on the picture and just went ahead and added one to each corner and then positioned it where I wanted it to lay on the floor. And then I noticed pretty quickly after that the rug was not staying in place. So I figured I would try it again. And for the next rug, I used the entire rectangle piece. So instead of cutting it down into a square, I used one big piece per corner. And once I did that, these rugs have not moved. It has been so wonderful. I love the way they look and I absolutely love how well these are holding them down on the floor. When I say they haven't moved, they really have not moved. They work so much better than the non-slip mats that I've used in the past that always end up getting like bunched up and move around. So anyway, highly recommend these. I found them at Target down the like carpet area rug aisle. I love the softness and cozy feel that these add to our kitchen and the added warmth against our gray floors looks so nice. Now it's time to decorate my open shelving. I have a lot of copper pieces that I wanted to add in over here with some new baskets and also mix in with my white pottery. And I think this will be a great space that will transition perfectly into fall and even the winter months. I fall I have all of my copper out to really set the tone and I'll be able to incorporate all of my decor very easily in there. I was not quite ready to part with my citrus juicer quite yet I think it's just such a beautiful piece and we also use it a lot so I like that I was able to use it here kind of tie in more of that coppery warm tone and then these two baskets this one is from Bells and I bought a whole bunch of different sizes they're more of a square shape and I love the color it's a little bit more of a cool tone which I like it's made of almost like this plastic material so I'll be able to use it for outside I'm picturing mums for fall and all kinds of stuff so I have four other baskets like that in a similar size and then these two really pretty planters were from Hobby Lobby I want to say two years ago they may bring them back or something similar but I just love this tone for the fall I could picture some really pretty mums in there as well but I'm loving how they look here for now and then this basket is from Ikea they do have this in a longer size as well it is also a perfect match for those baskets that I bought at Bells so I thought those looked really cute to kind of play off of each other I have a dough bowl in the back I put these really pretty copper measuring cups hung here sometimes I hang dish towels there but I thought these copper measuring cups were so cute there for now and then of course all of my creamer collection my cream ironstone plates and yeah just mixed in with some copper I absolutely am just loving this and like I said it sets the tone and I'll be able to mix in a lot of fall and pumpkins here as we get closer to fall and now we have laid out all of the decor items that I picked out to decorate around my island and my kitchen and most of these things are things that I already have you'll see a lot of wood basket texture a little bit more copper I have been loving picking up marble pieces lately I've had this little soap bowl for a while and this cutting board and I also just picked up this spoon rest and I have a fun DIY with a marble trivet and vintage candlestick that I'll be showing you later on in my fall decorating so loving marble lately I love to display a lot of baking goods just because these fall and winter months I love to start baking so it's fun to display it this dough bowl I've been loving just keeping out with some fruit and then a couple new items that I did pick up are these two baskets from Hobby Lobby they are a little pricey I think full price the large one is hang on $44.99 so definitely wait till they're on a sale and the smaller one is $34.99 but I love those so much fun to just add a lot of texture to a space and when it gets closer to fall I think this will be really pretty to add some fall florals into I have all of my rolling pins with a crock that we'll be adding those to again just playing in that whole baking vibe and then for my island I put together this really pretty centerpiece using faux flowers that I had from spring and these really realistic leaves that I just picked up at Michaels if you follow me on Instagram I shared these the other day but they are just so realistic and pretty I think these will transition so beautifully into fall and the best part is they were part of their spring florals and all of their summer and spring florals are 75% off so these full price were full price $7.99 and I picked them up for I think they were like $2.39 each after the discount so really love that and I'm excited to put together a cute little centerpiece for my island and get all of this stuff displayed in my kitchen I found this copper pot at an antique store and I decided to add it to my collection above the stove it really helped just kind of fill that area out a little bit more and I get asked a lot what I use to hang these pots and it's just a black tension rod that I picked up from Target it's really nice because we didn't have to drill into the cabinets and it's really done a great job holding the weight of these pots so highly recommend trying out a tension rod if you would like to do something similar so because of my allergies I'm not the biggest candle person but I do love these from anthropology they aren't too strong so they don't make me feel congested they also look so pretty and I heard that they have some new fall scents out in these really pretty jars so I definitely need to make a trip to anthropology just so I can smell their new fall candles a classic farmhouse kitchen look is displaying rolling pins in a big crock and I have grown my vintage rolling pin collection quite a bit so I'm excited to set them all up in a crock and put them over here in my kitchen area and I really think it's going to tie in like that cozy baking vibe that I'm going for for fall all of the groupings that you see against my back wall in the kitchen are based around where I have outlets that I'm trying to cover up even just leaning a couple wooden cutting boards over an outlet I think can make such a big difference and then I'm going in and adding this picnic basket here above my stove for some more texture and color I think it would be so pretty if I could find some of those dried Indian corn that's still kind of on the husk and put that in here for fall let me know if you have started to decorate for fall yet or when you plan on decorating for fall so I've been keeping this big old cutting board here I love it because it not only looks pretty but it's so much more practical when I am constantly chopping up fruit and different snacks for myself and the kids throughout the day I was going through so many of those small cutting boards washing them all the time but this one is really nice because I can just cut it right on here and then wipe it off I don't have to run it through the dishwasher or hand wash it constantly so I love this super pretty as well I use it to take pictures on it's kind of like a backsplash as a cutting board and I don't know I just think it's pretty sitting out here on my counter too and then right next to it by my sink I'm putting my little marble soap dish with this cute little brush that I've showed a few times I kind of take it in and out depending on the season and just my overall mood but I love this thing I think it adds such a cute cottagey look and like I said I've been adding a lot more pieces of marble so this one it was really good you can find them at home goods for such a good price I love creating a really pretty look for my island and usually I use either real or faux flowers in that look and today I am going to use all faux florals today but they look so realistic in my opinion the roses are from TJ Maxx and you might remember I had them in my office for the last several months but I thought they would look so pretty here with this new greenery I love the muted color of the flowers and the greenery and how they looked against this basket this canister set is my all-time favorite I think it is so beautiful I did pick these up from Kirkland's so I will link them if they are still available I cannot get over how pretty the new bar stools look it was so fun to give this room a really simple refresh just by switching out the chairs and adding some new rugs and decor I really go back and forth with it keeping this ladder here sometimes I like it sometimes I want to switch it up in place of it in my kitchen I'm using the baskets that I found at Hobby Lobby and I think these will look so pretty with some fall florals kind of like streaming out and down next up is this beautiful wooden vintage cabinet I took everything off of it and everything out of it gave it a good clean and now I'm adding in some new decor for the shelves I'm adding in my white pottery and some linens just to soften the space it's so nice to be able to use this as storage for my collection as well as being able to display them these are the mugs that I found thrifting recently and I think they are just going to look so pretty here for fall I think this is the first time that I've only put pottery pieces in here and didn't mix in you know greenery and other you know small pieces of decor but I love just the simple and functional look of it and the white against the brown just really helps it pop okay friends thank you so much for watching give this video a thumbs up if you are excited for fall and fall decorating videos thanks again for
