Style Scouting: Vol. 261
Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.
Now that it’s only a few days away until we turn the calendar page to October, Mother Nature has been a little bit confused. A fall chill in the air one day and the next it is 92 degrees.
And this weekend, it has been raining, which some may not enjoy, but I alway love a rainy day. The darker feel to the house is perfect for curling up with my laptop as I write this post with mug of tea and a flickering candle in reach on the side table.
With the rain and perhaps a hurricane coming our way early this week I will be spending time inside. The rain, plus feeling inspired after our day trip, I am excited to finally finish adding fall touches to my living room and kitchen.
All I have done so far was make a new living room ottoman cover using plaid fall fabric. I have often talked about the benefits of going about decorating in a slow manner. I am finding that going slow is also best when making seasonal changes… one cozy layer at a time until I am happy with what I see. Hope all is going well at your house.
Now onto the links I found for you this week.
