A Great "Fall" House

One of my favorite things to do every season is to reaccessorize & make my house feel warm & cozy or light & airy or however that season feels to me.

Here's a great house from Country Living that is perfect for Fall & I just wanted to share:

I LOVE the wall color in the kitchen. Not too warm, not too cool. (In the magazine it's a hint more olivey. Oh why didn't they list the color?!) Gorgeous.

And lanterns are so great indoors to give a more outdoor-in, natural, aged feel:

This stone fireplace is really warm & strong but the room still manages to feel bright & airy:

I'm helping my dad redo his home- it's a huge restoration of an old lake cottage which I'll write more about later- & he's got a really beautiful stone fireplace in the living room. We've got lots of dark, heavy furniture pieces in there that I think are just making the room too dark. I'll have to see what I can do to lighten it up.

Anyway, have a great weekend! Enjoy the Fall weather & go eat some apples & cheese!
