We still have the winter chill here in New York so I won't be spending time in the garden just yet, but I can have fun now sprucing up the inside of my home. Here are my 7 easy ways to brighten up your home for spring: </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">1. Have fun with bright accessories, from colorful coffee table books to stylish objects and things found in nature to create beautiful accents around your home. Not sure how to style up a coffee table read my post about <a href="https://www.lovemysimplehome.com/2018/02/how-to-style-coffee-table-in-4-easy.html" style="text-align: center;">HOW TO STYLE A COFFEE TABLE IN 4 EASY STEPS</a>.<div><br /></div><div>2. Bring in flowers! Think tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and even branches of leaves or forsythia in a mix of vases on your window sill or around your home. The color, the scent it's spring in a vase! You can create a beautiful bunch to display just by placing your tallest flower in the center of the vase and work your way out. If you want to add texture just add in some greenery. </div><div><br /></div><div><i>This post contains affiliate links</i></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUtkPi8CCQ6ywlwEC15wifh8PL0S2OntCDxog3Ni2mIsSQWJd7rWapCouOBUNtYDkTTKsHuufRuC_a1PtkbMhEXebCkXdZRHqKMfemTnioIUufE0p-l0I7R9TU8h9ufbUmQIJJfxcPFPI-0i0m55ljZltIXRzJ8t9KonRonHaBWnVJTuMD0wyBQC03/s640/mini-daffodils-on-windowsill-love-my-simple-home-DPP_0042%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="7-easy-ways-to-brighten-up-your-home-for-spring-love-my-simple-home" border="0" data-original-height="357" data-original-width="640" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUtkPi8CCQ6ywlwEC15wifh8PL0S2OntCDxog3Ni2mIsSQWJd7rWapCouOBUNtYDkTTKsHuufRuC_a1PtkbMhEXebCkXdZRHqKMfemTnioIUufE0p-l0I7R9TU8h9ufbUmQIJJfxcPFPI-0i0m55ljZltIXRzJ8t9KonRonHaBWnVJTuMD0wyBQC03/w640-h358/mini-daffodils-on-windowsill-love-my-simple-home-DPP_0042%20(2).jpg" title="7 easy ways to brighten up your home for spring love my simple home" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.lovemysimplehome.com/2014/04/sweet-mini-daffodils.html">SWEET MINI DAFFODILS</a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjC3hNjWhWuzVgKQz-HRze2FVfYeJ0pTvgrxbSVUezL5FqVIoe0xeebBiNkdBDzH78gKq60H5DG15T0A4NUEfGaOWsvt1KdeNbpa9XwB2xvpZexRlRd6vXonMVT7TdPpNXNt5ROoWH0BYURrBdFQ4F9iavx_xz5-LXK1yn02a1FaTgqVUxQEsSL4j5s" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="7-easy-ways-to-brighten-up-your-home-for-spring-love-my-simple-home" data-original-height="485" data-original-width="640" height="485" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjC3hNjWhWuzVgKQz-HRze2FVfYeJ0pTvgrxbSVUezL5FqVIoe0xeebBiNkdBDzH78gKq60H5DG15T0A4NUEfGaOWsvt1KdeNbpa9XwB2xvpZexRlRd6vXonMVT7TdPpNXNt5ROoWH0BYURrBdFQ4F9iavx_xz5-LXK1yn02a1FaTgqVUxQEsSL4j5s=w640-h485" title="7 easy ways to brighten up your home for spring love my simple home" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq7R4KIEXoxzpU-sodDTy261qGFEV5NIsXeUNg9mGK5oWps38u4aBPk692o7N-5vutK639VK5wTRmvaeZY0qrkpKnelDmjJF1cz_6UdZxbWkTJ86UIVK4As28ytx3mv4H72SeyueY6Bj0YyqET4AgkoFr7_R3eVlUz2uHHmYgMI6kFBnQVO8SWV6yI/s640/easy-ways-to-brighten-up-your-home-for-spring-love-my-simple-home-image%20(4).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="7-easy-ways-to-brighten-up-your-home-for-spring-love-my-simple-home" border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="476" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq7R4KIEXoxzpU-sodDTy261qGFEV5NIsXeUNg9mGK5oWps38u4aBPk692o7N-5vutK639VK5wTRmvaeZY0qrkpKnelDmjJF1cz_6UdZxbWkTJ86UIVK4As28ytx3mv4H72SeyueY6Bj0YyqET4AgkoFr7_R3eVlUz2uHHmYgMI6kFBnQVO8SWV6yI/w476-h640/easy-ways-to-brighten-up-your-home-for-spring-love-my-simple-home-image%20(4).png" title="7 easy ways to brighten up your home for spring love my simple home" width="476" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiMj8Ch-oz0T-6Nh22iWfxHlarcMrwrP6PwIzEITcm8d4fG34nzXBYZ4IZaCtb5wZT-752oekdTysWnU0NEKRZxQmk0fD3eKY6X3LUqDq9NiJheW53XGcDGKOVfBKJqRgkgA598WurWeNF3rV-lQi3TCJSrxmqw13_p4vdBVl_GCnqDBcgEcCc-8dzH" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="7-easy-ways-to-brighten-up-your-home-for-spring-love-my-simple-home" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="423" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiMj8Ch-oz0T-6Nh22iWfxHlarcMrwrP6PwIzEITcm8d4fG34nzXBYZ4IZaCtb5wZT-752oekdTysWnU0NEKRZxQmk0fD3eKY6X3LUqDq9NiJheW53XGcDGKOVfBKJqRgkgA598WurWeNF3rV-lQi3TCJSrxmqw13_p4vdBVl_GCnqDBcgEcCc-8dzH=w423-h640" title="7 easy ways to brighten up your home for spiring love my simple home" width="423" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">3. Ok, next up is the simplest of them all, it's free and you might already be doing this. Open your curtains, drapes, blinds, shades, or whatever you have that is covering your windows! Tea towels are a fun way to dress your windows for the spring. I know in the winter we want our homes to be insulated warm and cozy so we tend to have our window treatments closed. Spring is the time to let the natural light in. Letting natural light into your home will instantly brighten it up and give it a mood boost and maybe boost your mood too. I also like to open my windows on nice days to let fresh air and the sound of life in. Hearing the birds chirping outside makes me smile. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUGsSPRv6SVgbzQLQXf46ui6hHISrjG07SZL1vn154ODHiXDdNWE55L-0tbpiFPgUlNrQd8PRD8A5-pfeYtKrHwC2YaIAxxLoQu-qrXl3iDf_PkW3veML28GMFgveLqRP5m6ylqbL1F_Bu6A-Jz4A1qA76J2fWx2YDX-Nj_jGhOsqzZy-fpLhnyIyd/s4272/easy-ways-to-brighten-up-your-home-for-spring-love-my-simple-home-IMG_4958%20(4).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="7-easy-ways-to-brighten-up-your-home-for-spring-love-my-simple-home" border="0" data-original-height="2848" data-original-width="4272" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUGsSPRv6SVgbzQLQXf46ui6hHISrjG07SZL1vn154ODHiXDdNWE55L-0tbpiFPgUlNrQd8PRD8A5-pfeYtKrHwC2YaIAxxLoQu-qrXl3iDf_PkW3veML28GMFgveLqRP5m6ylqbL1F_Bu6A-Jz4A1qA76J2fWx2YDX-Nj_jGhOsqzZy-fpLhnyIyd/w640-h426/easy-ways-to-brighten-up-your-home-for-spring-love-my-simple-home-IMG_4958%20(4).jpg" title="7 easy ways to brighten up your home for spring love my simple home" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTXD9xG26UCIhcKrItGr2jKSEA5Su6-KiIoMdbVa_XEb65wtr5FLNGpD9t5FS8pe28iOc1pv4MG1G18wulvYPJ2v_hVeNYc9yDWg7gvr7Zbdn4eRZyWOhBmR8vmpsEg1R2VGbBXawWn3gpeRZifWULFOKoa1KMlDrGjox2dc4BJucsFnvE2GYmdhgJ/s4147/easy-ways-to-brighten-up-your-home-for-spring-love-my-simple-home-IMG_4955%20(4).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="7-easy-ways-to-brighten-up-your-home-for-spring-love-my-simple-home" border="0" data-original-height="2765" data-original-width="4147" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTXD9xG26UCIhcKrItGr2jKSEA5Su6-KiIoMdbVa_XEb65wtr5FLNGpD9t5FS8pe28iOc1pv4MG1G18wulvYPJ2v_hVeNYc9yDWg7gvr7Zbdn4eRZyWOhBmR8vmpsEg1R2VGbBXawWn3gpeRZifWULFOKoa1KMlDrGjox2dc4BJucsFnvE2GYmdhgJ/w640-h426/easy-ways-to-brighten-up-your-home-for-spring-love-my-simple-home-IMG_4955%20(4).jpg" title="7 easy ways to brighten up your home for spring love my simple home" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;">4. Spring is the perfect time to give your <a href="https://www.lovemysimplehome.com/2017/05/one-room-challenge-guest-bedroom-reveal.html">bedroom</a> a mini-makeover with new bedding.

Get something growing! Even though I'm ready to get out in the garden and grow fresh herbs and vegetables I can't quite do that yet so I like to get something growing inside. An easy way to do this is to purchase herb plants at the grocery store and place them in the kitchen or dining area in a basket, planter, or vase where it gets light.

Hello and welcome! I wanted to bring a bit of warmth to our white quartz countertops with a small table lamp, it's my favorite kitchen accessory <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><a href="https://www.lovemysimplehome.com/2023/01/the-easiest-interior-design-trends-to.html">trend</a> </span>for this year. This timeless trend of displaying a tabletop lamp on the kitchen counter is easy to do and will add character and warmth to your kitchen for the winter months and throughout the year. </p><p>I purchased a small vintage lamp years ago at a consignment store and recently placed it on our kitchen countertop to recreate the cozy aesthetic that we have in our living spaces. </p><p>The space between our countertops and upper cabinets is about 17 inches so this 8-inch lamp works beautifully. Beyond offering texture and color It's just so cozy! I like to keep the overhead kitchen lights off and just have a soft glow of light in the evening. This has become my favorite time of day because I love the cozy aesthetic the lamp brings to our kitchen. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Here are images from my archives of other lamps that I used on our previous kitchen countertop </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Let's just say that I am happy to start a new year. With each new year, I like to find out what is trending in the interior design world, and thought it would be fun to talk about the interior design trends for 2023. </p><p>I find that the one thing that's really interesting with interior design trends is there is a bit of a slow incoming so we start to see it over time. You start to see things in design magazines, or online then you start seeing it more in the mainstream like in retail and corporate spaces or on tv then it whines down where it actually gets into our homes. </p><p>Because trends come and go I like to avoid trends that are way too trendy and instead focus on the trends that are <b><i>simple to do, long-lasting, and work with my style.</i></b> There are a lot of trends in the world of interiors and it would be impossible for me to cover all of them so I put together three that are easy to do and will get you excited to decorate your house this year. I hope this sounds fun to you because I know I definitely love to chat about decorating so let's jump right in.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b> NUMBER ONE </b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>SHOP VINTAGE AND THRIFTED ITEMS</b></p><p>Vintage and thrifted items can bring personality and character to any space whether it be modern or traditional. They also have the added benefit of being readily available so you don't have to worry about a long wait to have your items shipped. To achieve this trend you can visit your local consignment, antique, or thrift shops for unique pieces. This is something that I've been doing for years and find it fun to mix the old with the new. Finding a piece of furniture that blends beautifully with the newer pieces in my home brings character. I also like thrifting small things like lamps, vases, and dishware. </p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCPTtnJ-dVbNtxohnM5hm1s6m2OH5yzrb8uS5Za8VVGji8OERN2JxlUma-L8rqqaewz_JoXEYVC4An3qp9kWDl14h_WguVbi8OV_5Jo6zBtjsjqaTkpbjmemM6PffnPZvI5Yw9daQPBNGKE59wB1B7XvFXlePBIV_HZ60TUNdQlTHaKU2t4m4Xd1hd/s640/antique-coffee-table-lovemysimplehome.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="the-easiest-interior-design-trends-to-follow-for-2023-love-my-simple-home" border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="441" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCPTtnJ-dVbNtxohnM5hm1s6m2OH5yzrb8uS5Za8VVGji8OERN2JxlUma-L8rqqaewz_JoXEYVC4An3qp9kWDl14h_WguVbi8OV_5Jo6zBtjsjqaTkpbjmemM6PffnPZvI5Yw9daQPBNGKE59wB1B7XvFXlePBIV_HZ60TUNdQlTHaKU2t4m4Xd1hd/w442-h640/antique-coffee-table-lovemysimplehome.jpg" title="the easiest interior design trends to follow for 2023 love my simple home" width="442" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.lovemysimplehome.com/2017/09/gator-hide-finish-coffee-table.html">HOW TOR REFINISH A COFFEE TABLE</a><br /></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>TWO</b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>WOOD FURNITURE</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Dark wood furniture is making a comeback. We are moving to deep and medium wood tones. One of the simplest ways to hop on this trend is to opt for natural furniture pieces in a dark wood tone. Think of rich walnut side tables or chestnut bookshelves. Also, think of the smaller touches of wood like chairs and sofas with dark wood-toned legs. Add a statement piece of furniture such as a dark walnut coffee table. Keep it balanced by having different wood tones throughout the design and avoid matching sets. Matching sets can look outdated in your design. Instead, choose lighter wood to compliment the dark wood furniture. Look for Wood furniture that has warmth and coziness like vintage and antique pieces. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivNs_AhR8DYJ_2zeYG3cToT1SUahi8pLDTKhNU4Ji53hytDp17_9PMxCO5-gEc7YQHrJ37ddmJyfZ3uNcrEAPrJeueSgPhvE7waLg7g2ULr52mxb1ifQWv8-x-xic6GLbvo124UR5RY_X5orCOTMKMhWCcIPK7Hb1HtjfPz-jJObtc8b6q3wF92Ot9/s639/warm-wood-furniture-love-my-simple-homeIMG_5497.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="the-easiest-interior-design-trends-to-follow-for-2023-love-my-simple-home" border="0" data-original-height="426" data-original-width="639" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivNs_AhR8DYJ_2zeYG3cToT1SUahi8pLDTKhNU4Ji53hytDp17_9PMxCO5-gEc7YQHrJ37ddmJyfZ3uNcrEAPrJeueSgPhvE7waLg7g2ULr52mxb1ifQWv8-x-xic6GLbvo124UR5RY_X5orCOTMKMhWCcIPK7Hb1HtjfPz-jJObtc8b6q3wF92Ot9/w640-h426/warm-wood-furniture-love-my-simple-homeIMG_5497.jpg" title="the easiest interior design trends to follow for 2023 love my simple home" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><b>THREE</b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>SMALL KITCHEN COUNTERTOP LAMPS</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Make your kitchen an extension of your home by creating a cozy feeling that you would get as if you were sitting in your living room or other areas in your home. Think about that warm and cozy spot in your living room or when you are at a restaurant that has a warm ambiance. One way to create that cozy feeling in your kitchen is with a small lamp. You can find small tabletop lamps just about anywhere. They will bring character to your kitchen and elevate it to that designer look. It's also the easiest way to be on trend in 2023. I have one on our kitchen countertop and I love the warm glow and character it brings to our kitchen. You can also place one on the kitchen island. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivEXyvdycTDBq8y6cGAsMJEmUx4cGeUBnO7DiAgzskcCM3_h7DNR4gqM3btyd_2k1v2_z2d9Nnbqu9k67_ucLL0GhzFDXYRsHdq9sG46j-ElIroN1tURk0HEkRf8SSR5ljUkfrZDFWC3Zr31-qiMUzxCzrvl8dhjTEQwCzrNkNo3o-3XAtW-NSw0GZ/s2970/vintage-lamp-love-my-simple-home-IMG_5596%20(3).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="the-easiest-interior-design-trends-to-follow-for-2023-love-my-simple-home" border="0" data-original-height="2970" data-original-width="2835" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivEXyvdycTDBq8y6cGAsMJEmUx4cGeUBnO7DiAgzskcCM3_h7DNR4gqM3btyd_2k1v2_z2d9Nnbqu9k67_ucLL0GhzFDXYRsHdq9sG46j-ElIroN1tURk0HEkRf8SSR5ljUkfrZDFWC3Zr31-qiMUzxCzrvl8dhjTEQwCzrNkNo3o-3XAtW-NSw0GZ/w610-h640/vintage-lamp-love-my-simple-home-IMG_5596%20(3).jpg" title="the easiest interior design trends to follow for 2023 love my simple home" width="610" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">xo</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: WindSong; font-size: large;">Julie</span></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p data-sc-widget-id="P-63bddfbdea9a602e9057546a" div=""></p><script async="" src="//widgets.shopstyle.com/shopstyle-widget-snippet.js"></script>Julie Nicholshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14870108047478308657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153180523934497619.post-77643772391265525832022-11-14T07:00:00.001-05:002022-11-14T07:00:38.375-05:00Simple Thanksgiving Decor Ideas<p style="text-align: justify;">I'm so happy it's autumn because I get to share with you a few simple Thanksgiving decor ideas. <span>If you are hosting Thanksgiving this year and are scared to take design risks use this holiday to get creative with dressing your table and shelves with pretty decor.

I do this through color, artwork, texture, and with natural and artificial lighting. I mixed the warm colors of beige, cognac, and brown in the furniture and brought in my favorite color pale blue with the accessories. The <a href="https://www.lovemysimplehome.com/p/throw-pillows.html">patterned pillows</a> and my favorite throw blanket that I had for years add softness to the corner of the sofa.</p><div data-sc-widget-id="P-6356b9bde6a07f0fdd87a98d"></div><script async="" src="//widgets.shopstyle.com/shopstyle-widget-snippet.js"></script> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I get really excited when I look at the photograph on the wall! It inspired me for the color palette and pattern mixing for this space and I thought why not make it the story and available to purchase. The beach is the happiest place for us and even though the temperatures are cooler we still like to hang out there. We don't even mind if the weather isn't the best because there's nothing better than to arrive home to a cozy cheerful spot to sit and relax. On the coffee table, the oyster shells collected on the beach have a resting spot on a stack of design books that I am currently reading. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd_yoHnfDK8M70H4mSSFwUQYtzeKymbKlhTs-u-CUYLzx7e0woVJrrTDErwjMbHcBlggqKu6N_07oRPGWZrzGbzybeXyr8R2ugg7nCVR-QzKasFofwtkJRbqifGe2-1J_LQDAvN-djdsGC9Dyjm2kpcQkm3SaYZDXZ6IkYRJK5dVf4w-M_CH4HoCOm/s4272/IMG%205444-flowers-corner-love-my-simple-home.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="a-cheerful-autumn-corner-love-my-simple-home" border="0" data-original-height="2710" data-original-width="4272" height="406" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd_yoHnfDK8M70H4mSSFwUQYtzeKymbKlhTs-u-CUYLzx7e0woVJrrTDErwjMbHcBlggqKu6N_07oRPGWZrzGbzybeXyr8R2ugg7nCVR-QzKasFofwtkJRbqifGe2-1J_LQDAvN-djdsGC9Dyjm2kpcQkm3SaYZDXZ6IkYRJK5dVf4w-M_CH4HoCOm/w640-h406/IMG%205444-flowers-corner-love-my-simple-home.jpg" title="a cheerful autumn corner love my simple home" width="640" /></a></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span></span></p><div data-sc-widget-id="P-6356b651e6a07f0fdd872633"></div><span><script async="" src="//widgets.shopstyle.com/shopstyle-widget-snippet.js"></script>Whenever the autumn season would come around I always felt pressured to purchase new decor and fill an entire room using all the fall colors one would think of. </span>Now I only focus on <a href="https://www.lovemysimplehome.com/2021/09/how-im-styling-my-home-for-fall.html">subtle tabletop decor</a> using naturally found elements. <span> I could have just popped a mum plant here and called it a day but to me, that would be boring. In my opinion, there is no better way to seasonal decorate your home than by just going outside and clipping what you have in your yard. On the narrow strip of the drop-leaf table, next to the sofa is a bouquet of flowers. How can you not feel cheered when you come into a room and are greeted by a colorful flower arrangement. I clipped the dahlias and lavender from our patio garden to create this early autumn bouquet. When I arranged the flowers I didn't want them to look stiff and forced so I mixed varieties and colors and bunched them loosely in a black vase. This creates a beautiful natural feel to the corner which is so much better than a theme look that you can go out and buy. </span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuYayhDO6luv_wxLgdYi0cEu8sOQyp-iJd3a3GkoxaLg7zN5JXR0WHV1UQkPwSkM5PsegP2BbzDlVL9duXB_v7miIuPaJhYudAqcwBYC6tvBPxxGnZvifqou-dII9n5tc_xOCI2nmziK2UFOyLQckguDPcOCuSsKKVwXE2IPES-CCNbX1cEfDlPR_R/s1964/flowers-corner-love-my-simple-home-IMG_5443%20%20.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="a-cheerful-autumn-corner-love-my-simple-home" border="0" data-original-height="1489" data-original-width="1964" height="486" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuYayhDO6luv_wxLgdYi0cEu8sOQyp-iJd3a3GkoxaLg7zN5JXR0WHV1UQkPwSkM5PsegP2BbzDlVL9duXB_v7miIuPaJhYudAqcwBYC6tvBPxxGnZvifqou-dII9n5tc_xOCI2nmziK2UFOyLQckguDPcOCuSsKKVwXE2IPES-CCNbX1cEfDlPR_R/w640-h486/flowers-corner-love-my-simple-home-IMG_5443%20%20.jpg" title="a cheerful autumn corner love my simple home" width="640" /></a></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a a-cheerful-autumn-corner-love-my-simple-home="" border="0" data-original-height="2848" data-original-width="3764" height="484" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilllebzlCAAoJVaPN0DXe1ElOfYEikp-</div><div><br /></div><img alt=" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilllebzlCAAoJVaPN0DXe1ElOfYEikp-KfRzuft7zLvK2PMcnMFjmYcFtbXCf0_MoNUuv4_S9KFe17p7EopGHA3tqAEn12b8OrVLNueVmQ_YMGKlLtXhn1NOgznkcnIKFkobediu_A8IAfpDaOv8-dErcN1nwMlCtjHMA5MKhgQD_mLrbn1e0_GaoV/w640-h484/flowers-corner-love-my-simple-home-IMG_5443%20.jpg" title="a cheerful autumn corner love my simple home" width="640"></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiILZNr50p01r96FgC8ZwPqSvZSyt1T3wdIwCy-DESnjxWqjYU6haOKLnOUqS3VaPMEBQs3yPDXAsYILo4NvNj-3kkmrpgMn-yIulPRFXajmEhQa3n-gr_LSCkqdMkrLTL78b8BTGj4iA4aThS6KxJF1RyR2RoKwJfidVBMaSahxjjeaGgppku5OHhm/s4272/IMG_5453%20-flowers-corner-love-my-simple-home.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="a-cheerful-autumn-corner-love-my-simple-home" border="0" data-original-height="2776" data-original-width="4272" height="416" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiILZNr50p01r96FgC8ZwPqSvZSyt1T3wdIwCy-DESnjxWqjYU6haOKLnOUqS3VaPMEBQs3yPDXAsYILo4NvNj-3kkmrpgMn-yIulPRFXajmEhQa3n-gr_LSCkqdMkrLTL78b8BTGj4iA4aThS6KxJF1RyR2RoKwJfidVBMaSahxjjeaGgppku5OHhm/w640-h416/IMG_5453%20-flowers-corner-love-my-simple-home.jpg" title="a cheerful autumn corner love my simple home" width="640" /></a></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.lovemysimplehome.com/p/s.html">Furniture & Home Accessories</a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.lovemysimplehome.com/p/shop.html">Framed Prints</a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.lovemysimplehome.com/p/throw-pillows.html">Pillow Covers</a><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3TRJstu">Pale Blue Throw Blankets</a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3FbmkBR">Taupe Curtains</a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3gFz21T">Cognac Leather Ottomans</a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="text-align: justify;">This corner just feels like us right now and it's really nice to have this cozy space.

You could say I'm a very laid-back gardener and in the summer I let things go a bit and it's nice to just enjoy it. The oregano is beautiful right now and it's getting really thick. I'll hang out on the patio sofa with a cold drink and just look around the garden and see how things are doing. I find having a garden is very therapeutic because when I'm digging in the garden I'm just looking at what's in front of me and not thinking about anything else. </p><p>btw the mint is especially refreshing in a <a href="https://www.lovemysimplehome.com/2017/07/watermelon-strawberry-summer-drink.html">summer drink</a> OR <a href="https://www.lovemysimplehome.com/2016/10/mint-tea-recipe.html">tea</a>.</p><p><i>This post contains affiliate links</i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg_FWpt6Ud57T2sD0lTwvK4GYh0Vq1xnvQEWANVcYLNcaDNUrT4AQUSbq2uNO_960tqU9mBt4Mc4vkuCu8x-iSNlCfbJneBHfObgcGH58kTmRhrzi1TVQQGoHp78iUwW6a4Gk2zFoY0v6IQ79VzMXEgllkW5LdgmJKt-nEsysR6-apwisbD8uJe0wF/s1080/summer-patio-decorating-love-my-simple-home%20(2).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="drying-oregano-garden-finds-love-my-simple-home" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="720" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg_FWpt6Ud57T2sD0lTwvK4GYh0Vq1xnvQEWANVcYLNcaDNUrT4AQUSbq2uNO_960tqU9mBt4Mc4vkuCu8x-iSNlCfbJneBHfObgcGH58kTmRhrzi1TVQQGoHp78iUwW6a4Gk2zFoY0v6IQ79VzMXEgllkW5LdgmJKt-nEsysR6-apwisbD8uJe0wF/s16000/summer-patio-decorating-love-my-simple-home%20(2).png" title="drying oregano + garden finds love my simple home" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">One of the routines I started to do is to preserve the oregano from our garden. </span><span style="text-align: justify;">Having the ability to mosey to the </span><a href="https://www.lovemysimplehome.com/2022/07/creating-serene-outdoor-living-space.html" style="text-align: left;">patio</a><span style="text-align: left;"> and clip my own <a href="https://www.lovemysimplehome.com/2021/09/how-im-styling-my-home-for-fall.html">herbs, vegetables and flowers</a> is a dream come true. </span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span>Last spring I purchased a small oregano plant from the produce section at the grocery store and set it in the garden to grow.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJaht6cYOlnhWGbg_dzS408M8qnZ5u2OXuzpr4e3OTOUBXBXRLD4snKoYt-DZbbau2MF-DXdhgeu2u3tzu6rK2yuALxSzR-NjqpedkscMWHP2WPR87Ivqu_qJwC9eo3I9dpoE96AuEp96WwXs75hrLf0VKIvvGncWhdHuY2dvdTyI8NZ4uI3nIyxKY/s4129/oregano-love-my-simple-home-IMG_5236%20(3).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="drying-oregano-garden-finds-love-my-simple-home" border="0" data-original-height="4129" data-original-width="2847" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJaht6cYOlnhWGbg_dzS408M8qnZ5u2OXuzpr4e3OTOUBXBXRLD4snKoYt-DZbbau2MF-DXdhgeu2u3tzu6rK2yuALxSzR-NjqpedkscMWHP2WPR87Ivqu_qJwC9eo3I9dpoE96AuEp96WwXs75hrLf0VKIvvGncWhdHuY2dvdTyI8NZ4uI3nIyxKY/w442-h640/oregano-love-my-simple-home-IMG_5236%20(3).jpg" title="drying oregano + garden finds love my simple home" width="442" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Drying Oregano</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSPHt2VUbujQkLDFI4KUBpTaOQXuccs-REhgFymIY49L35ODQyF20VXscZsVfmVeU5Pj6vFlulFZDUPMdzWC0bakVMtPnW_i8GqAhi2S5PXhug5-OzJRzXabkIO-xSoLpDR2qopLe6cuNgvnZ0KwjSqCwaOlTMX29BJi-mJ0C0apsF0e9qcQp-aoF3/s3823/summer-patio-decorating-love-my-simple-home-IMG_5060%20(5).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="drying-oregano-garden-finds-love-my-simple-home" border="0" data-original-height="2548" data-original-width="3823" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSPHt2VUbujQkLDFI4KUBpTaOQXuccs-REhgFymIY49L35ODQyF20VXscZsVfmVeU5Pj6vFlulFZDUPMdzWC0bakVMtPnW_i8GqAhi2S5PXhug5-OzJRzXabkIO-xSoLpDR2qopLe6cuNgvnZ0KwjSqCwaOlTMX29BJi-mJ0C0apsF0e9qcQp-aoF3/w640-h426/summer-patio-decorating-love-my-simple-home-IMG_5060%20(5).jpg" title="drying oregano + garden finds love my simple home" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">The simplest method for drying oregano is to hang dry it.

Some of the tomatoes are starting to ripen and I can't wait to pick them. Now our garden is filled with lavender, herbs, leafy greens, and flowers.

To achieve this technique combine thrift pieces with contemporary elements. For example, I have new mid-century modern chairs styled with traditional second-hand pieces. I think combining the old with the new can create this really beautiful feel to a home and keep it from feeling dated to feeling fresh. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Look for ways to combine the old with the new. An easy way to do this is through textiles such as decorative pillows.

When it comes time to style my shelves I use the technique of space and I keep the elements cohesive. What I mean by this is I give the items on the shelf breathing room and I stick to the same theme. If you use these two techniques the shelves will go from feeling cluttered to a styled cohesive look. I used a mix of antiques, thrift store finds, and photographs.

The rainy days of early spring let me know that soon the grass will be green and the buds will once again bloom. This is a signal for me to brighten things up inside my home with color through flowers and simple decor that isn't expensive. It's also a chance to relieve some of the clutter that has accumulated over the winter months and to reorganize things for a fresh new start. </p><p>If you are looking for creative ideas to brighten up the gloomy days of spring inside your home click through to get inspiration. I loaded this post up with some of my favorite earlier spring decor ideas that I hope will fill you with an abundance of creativity to brighten up your home for spring. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiGfS-MhCJiQNeG_2BxUFh6m6palB8YiFY6-9wRZ5r6NREYmadc7Hq7fmd_k6ovy__UG4d3fsMf9I1VdtG_s20ELTRqJsNTB-rsnYTrdCt9TWp9C_eFqWqFQPXAbatiUF_DLweSb4KpwFEM8VGMGmV995cKOhGuZejziY3y5QBAlTMqU5BCZYK6RQ07=s1600" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="home-decor-ideas-that-brighten-up-the -gloomy-days-of-spring-love-my-simple-home" border="0" data-original-height="892" data-original-width="1600" height="357" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiGfS-MhCJiQNeG_2BxUFh6m6palB8YiFY6-9wRZ5r6NREYmadc7Hq7fmd_k6ovy__UG4d3fsMf9I1VdtG_s20ELTRqJsNTB-rsnYTrdCt9TWp9C_eFqWqFQPXAbatiUF_DLweSb4KpwFEM8VGMGmV995cKOhGuZejziY3y5QBAlTMqU5BCZYK6RQ07=w640-h357" title="home decor ideas that brighten up the gloomy days of spring lovemysimplehome.com" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.lovemysimplehome.com/2014/04/sweet-mini-daffodils.html">SWEET MINI DAFFODILS</a><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">I start small by adding fresh flowers.

You can really cater to your color palette as to what you're feeling at that time. I use pillows that have zippers instead of ones that are sewn shut. The reason I do this is that pillow covers take up less storage space, and I like to change my pillows each season so it's just easier for me to zip off one cover and swap it for another. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

When it comes to decorating my home for Christmas the goal is to always make it feel welcoming and relaxed for the people I love. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">On the day I decide to decorate, I sort through the Christmas decorations and create three piles. Trash, donate, and keep. From the keep pile, I'll snap up a few ornaments for the tree, and other items I think will work in the space. The rest stay in the box stored away. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;">Here you will see how I style a laid-back Christmas this year:</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I start by adding fresh and faux winter greenery then I bring in the elements of Christmas such as the lighting and decor. These elements are such an important part of Christmas at my place and I love making it come to life each year. </span>Come on in I'll show you how it looks all put together. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhSS7_zYBfnz4TFhGEjnYMA8Cgev_2PSX_DrGpsmx8-9bRl4UIHS1pvDRwHm3emC5Jcyy_Y3m3zZYiGwe5yXcsgZyfLVA1LI10eEKxB-Oyh56q7NkH5szYdMCG10mD5D8_J0yVqqAZtlKO1a3GZ7r8cwfs1iTWlyQGKjDhc1ZGC2zu18zhMjFchE4cu=s2381" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="how-to-style-a-laid-back-christmas-this-year-love-my-simple-home" border="0" data-original-height="2381" data-original-width="2284" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhSS7_zYBfnz4TFhGEjnYMA8Cgev_2PSX_DrGpsmx8-9bRl4UIHS1pvDRwHm3emC5Jcyy_Y3m3zZYiGwe5yXcsgZyfLVA1LI10eEKxB-Oyh56q7NkH5szYdMCG10mD5D8_J0yVqqAZtlKO1a3GZ7r8cwfs1iTWlyQGKjDhc1ZGC2zu18zhMjFchE4cu=w614-h640" title="how to style a laid back christmas this year love my simple home" width="614" /></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: justify;">To style the hearth and mantel, I used faux garland and layered lighting on top through battery-operated lights. The wreath is decorated with pinecones and a casually tied silk beige ribbon. I placed three </span><a href="https://www.lovemysimplehome.com/2016/12/a-musical-christmas-tree-made-with-yarn.html" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">Handmade Christmas Trees</a><span style="text-align: justify;"> on the left side of the mantel and on the right side I kept unadorned. </span><span style="text-align: justify;">A basket filled with burgundy eucalyptus adds warmth to the unlit firebox. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><b><br /></b></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><b>laid-back; unhurried and relaxed</b></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><b><br /></b></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Look at what you have and think about how you want your home to look and feel. To achieve this you could make a list to help you to process through, to create a laid-back Christmas for yourself. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">An antique wooden bowl filled with pinecones sits on top of the dining table. In the background, the kitchen is made ready for baking Christmas cookies with flour and sugar stored inside glass canisters. White and gold candlesticks are displayed in a simple mason jar and placed on an open shelf for easy access.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgH9NgVKsv5RxC4KzyrJnDFJzPxsfmzUAFs_tH5yCYdfVnnvacBBzqyK_6-UZZYtRMX4svJAXGDwtwOWCwxO7GDJK05uik3-oE91wKCx5MkTZy3NMYGwAHCWf-o6BWeB6pGcP13FL4oaPOVBJiFo5u0NSL6m99Ryi9XIL6-1Wa6yScSsw5YxTEIySLT=s4272" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="how-to-style-a-laid-back-christmas-this-year-love-my-simple-home" border="0" data-original-height="4272" data-original-width="2848" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgH9NgVKsv5RxC4KzyrJnDFJzPxsfmzUAFs_tH5yCYdfVnnvacBBzqyK_6-UZZYtRMX4svJAXGDwtwOWCwxO7GDJK05uik3-oE91wKCx5MkTZy3NMYGwAHCWf-o6BWeB6pGcP13FL4oaPOVBJiFo5u0NSL6m99Ryi9XIL6-1Wa6yScSsw5YxTEIySLT=w426-h640" title="how to style a laid back christmas this year love my simple home" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I also like to add fragrance to my space with scented candles and flowers.

We have a tiny garden in the yard just off of our patio. Over the summer the garden was full of red tomatoes, lettuce, and herbs such as oregano, sage, chives, and lavender. I called it the salad garden, it was absolutely wonderful to have! </p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmRvSbcZrLiQijQ7QpCgZBftWyFLJapEqEBeoBoQ5oiWgH8hYnVnX0gw6cF072U3GObgC4uGdddV7YrrInz3yCgQJloMgsPsGagm5FmWOwlkADjYgyO_anNpPWNB7wZBCz9zmumA_u6cU/s2835/FALL-DECORATING-BLOG.LOVEMYSIMPLEHOME.COMIMG_4295+%25283%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="how-I'm-styling-my-home-for-fall-love-my-simple-home" border="0" data-original-height="1109" data-original-width="2835" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmRvSbcZrLiQijQ7QpCgZBftWyFLJapEqEBeoBoQ5oiWgH8hYnVnX0gw6cF072U3GObgC4uGdddV7YrrInz3yCgQJloMgsPsGagm5FmWOwlkADjYgyO_anNpPWNB7wZBCz9zmumA_u6cU/w640-h250/FALL-DECORATING-BLOG.LOVEMYSIMPLEHOME.COMIMG_4295+%25283%2529.jpg" title="how I'm styling my home for fall love my simple home" width="640" /></a><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: justify;">I love to decorate with natural pieces.

This simple arrangement looks pretty on a dining table or buffet. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEPAT4-IjhiKrampwR5hlCqk5D-DPP8sbvRwgmqJw6nEuh6JS6qMN6H3k1QSeYNZQNd6q-yiJ17AV7gXIQ-nOc2Fr_JtL9TpGRscYNvtb9D5wV7GndIHWAWs98c5fFDflKBWdiAJnGu90/s2570/FALL-DECORATING-BLOG.LOVEMYSIMPLEHOME.COM-IMG_4274+%25283%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="how-I'm-styling-my-home-for-fall-love-my-simple-home" border="0" data-original-height="1223" data-original-width="2570" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEPAT4-IjhiKrampwR5hlCqk5D-DPP8sbvRwgmqJw6nEuh6JS6qMN6H3k1QSeYNZQNd6q-yiJ17AV7gXIQ-nOc2Fr_JtL9TpGRscYNvtb9D5wV7GndIHWAWs98c5fFDflKBWdiAJnGu90/w640-h304/FALL-DECORATING-BLOG.LOVEMYSIMPLEHOME.COM-IMG_4274+%25283%2529.jpg" title="how I'm styling my home for fall love my simple home" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Adding textural pieces in earthy colors has a way of easing the elements of fall together in a low fuss way.</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0bhweRYH_ePzR4xyKGCT86KyDxo8qADpCC13skcZruSTy9WOG5JhMZtraHxK_IrmgWehcTg6T4B-OR2ZtPdOeEkMGMRavU9iQDkjoufmJIAqq1ELmzbBbauwFN_-OgvD86pKsDee4gDY/s1762/FALL-DECORATING-BLOG.LOVEMYSIMPLEHOME.COMIMG_4346+%25285%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="how-I'm-styling-my-home-for-fall-love-my-simple-home" border="0" data-original-height="1519" data-original-width="1762" height="552" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0bhweRYH_ePzR4xyKGCT86KyDxo8qADpCC13skcZruSTy9WOG5JhMZtraHxK_IrmgWehcTg6T4B-OR2ZtPdOeEkMGMRavU9iQDkjoufmJIAqq1ELmzbBbauwFN_-OgvD86pKsDee4gDY/w640-h552/FALL-DECORATING-BLOG.LOVEMYSIMPLEHOME.COMIMG_4346+%25285%2529.jpg" title="how I'm styling my home for fall love my simple home" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja21OShCuRU-50P2orSdfbOuOSgdqsTEp2Qm-fyKpuGHhbWg2D_RxRQ9Acc58ttB_-hnd61054DATVJyBHm7aHc2UveO_08DQ4Vi74Q3DMBD1ZepvJUJl938SxTwFARFuNM3KQ2NNf1uw/s2048/FALL-DECORATING-BLOG.LOVEMYSIMPLEHOME.COMIMG_4347+%25285%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="how-I'm-styling-my-home-for-love-my-simple-home" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja21OShCuRU-50P2orSdfbOuOSgdqsTEp2Qm-fyKpuGHhbWg2D_RxRQ9Acc58ttB_-hnd61054DATVJyBHm7aHc2UveO_08DQ4Vi74Q3DMBD1ZepvJUJl938SxTwFARFuNM3KQ2NNf1uw/w640-h426/FALL-DECORATING-BLOG.LOVEMYSIMPLEHOME.COMIMG_4347+%25285%2529.jpg" title="how I'm styling my home for fall love my simple home" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: justify;">Having unusual styled pieces stimulates curiosity and conversation.

I'm glad you're here today because I have a few gallery wall layout solutions that you might want to try. But before you jump right into this project there are a few things you need to consider if your end result is to be a beautiful arrangement. </p><p>From my perspective, gallery walls should capture your imagination and tell a story. When we think about revealing who we are, there is nothing more telling than a gallery wall filled with family photos, or a collection of art. I love when a wall is an illustration of unique frames with interesting art, whether it be in pencil, color, seascapes, or faces. Each one owns their statement and role in the story. When searching for art, try thinking of the color scheme you want and the story you want to tell. Then determine the gallery wall layout. Do you want a stacked, grid, or salon-style arrangement? Salon arrangements have a relaxed style, while stacked and grid arrangements tend to be clean and formal. With either style, they should look and feel like a collection. If you are considering doing a family gallery wall, a grid approach always looks beautiful, but a grid approach doesn't always mean they have to be the same orientation as each row is placed. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I <b>LOVE</b> fresh flowers! I usually buy mine at the grocery store, but this week they were hard to come by. <span style="text-align: center;">So what's a girl to do when fresh flowers aren't an option? </span>Go shopping at the craft store for some fakes. I made a trip to our local craft store and picked up a few stems of forsythia and a bouquet of roses. <span style="text-align: center;"> </span><br /><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;">Shopping:</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;"><br /></span></b></div>
When shopping for fake flowers, take your time, the options can be overwhelming. I buy silk flowers that have the closest <b>color</b> and <b>texture</b> to the real deal.<br />
<br />
Wait for <b>sales</b>, I never pay full price.<br />
<br />
Go to yard sales, people give them away.<br />
<br />
Buy flowers that are in season. For example, spring is here. I bought the <b>forsythia</b> because they bloom in early spring.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;">Creative Arrangements:</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;"><br /></span></b></div>
Breathe creativity into your space by placing your fake flowers in unique containers. Use tin cans, glass jars, candle holders, teacups, metal buckets, anything that you feel will add personality and character to the arrangement. Just make sure the containers you choose are different in height.<br />
<br />
I like to use mirrors. Mirrors add dimension which makes the arrangement look twice as big than it actually is. Put water in a clear vase along with your fake flowers this makes the arrangement appear to be real. Bring in natural elements like moss, stones, and wood. Mixing these natural elements with your fake flowers brings a sense of life to them. Your guests will never know they are fake unless they touch them or smell them.<br />

If you missed the previous post where I shared the furniture options you can catch up on that here: <a href="https://www.lovemysimplehome.com/2021/01/traditional-home-office-furniture.html">Traditional Home Office Furniture</a>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">To get her home office up and ready as quickly as possible my sister opted for new furniture only and not for a complete room makeover. The existing carpet and wall color are in good shape so they remain the same and new artwork and window treatments will be purchased at a later time. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Here are the photographs of my sister's home office sent to me through her phone and a sweet video her husband took of her working in the space. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

So far this week I've been busy editing new photographs for the <a href="https://lovemysimplehome.com/">SHOP</a> and I can't wait for you to see them! I've also been busy helping my sister pick out new furniture for her personal home office space. I had a lot of fun working with her and I found amazing options to whip it into tip-top shape! We looked on Pinterest together and browsed magazines and determined that her design style is traditional. In an upcoming post, I'll share real-life photographs of the furniture in her office. </p><p>If you are in the stage of planning a home office like my sister I included the links to where she shopped. I find that if you narrow down your options to three it makes it easier to choose from. Here are the final three and I hope you come back to see what she picked out. </p><p><i>This post contains affiliate links</i></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>DESKS</b></p><p style="text-align: center;">An executive desk with storage and a pull out keyboard were a must.</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

In case you couldn't tell I love hot beverages around here! Every afternoon as the sun starts to fade, (and me) I reach for my <b>favorite mug </b>and pour myself a hot cup of coffee or tea. <br />
<br />
If you are looking for a gift or want one of these cuties for yourself, I put together a round-up of the 20 cutest mugs for sipping all winter long.<br />

Hi sweet readers, I hope you are doing well, and thank you for stopping by! </span><span style="text-align: left;">I enjoy decorating for Christmas after Thanksgiving so that each holiday has its own moment. So today I will share with you a few simple Christmas decorating ideas from a <a href="https://www.lovemysimplehome.com/2019/12/christmas-in-our-living-room-entryway.html">Christmas past</a>.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">I enjoy mixing new Christmas decor with what I already have to keep things looking fresh from year to year. </span><span style="text-align: left;">I keep our Christmas decor simple with a faux tree, ornaments, greenery, berries, and some ribbon. I don't like to rush my Christmas decorating in one day, rather I like to spread it out over a few days changing things here and there. This puts me in the Christmas spirit and it ends up being SO pretty! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDkde2yMwRW2oH75T-TY5vyzRNAjVCCPZEfLPQdeTLPsC56LRt5MoPg2VD6JPSupNcByQAaU6reOj428iWvAFYQ2y20r976h4IYLa-v_GAu846_AzzGJmqZmJRTsWHlvHpID3iShm95II/s2048/living+room+decorated+for+christmas-lovemysimplehome.comIMG_2081.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="simple-Christmas-decorating-with-evergreens-blog-love-my-simple-home" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="427" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDkde2yMwRW2oH75T-TY5vyzRNAjVCCPZEfLPQdeTLPsC56LRt5MoPg2VD6JPSupNcByQAaU6reOj428iWvAFYQ2y20r976h4IYLa-v_GAu846_AzzGJmqZmJRTsWHlvHpID3iShm95II/w640-h427/living+room+decorated+for+christmas-lovemysimplehome.comIMG_2081.jpg" title="simple Christmas decorating with evergreens love my simple home" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"> </span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">One of the simplest ways to decorate for Christmas is with evergreens. Last year I clipped some branches from our yard and placed them </span><span style="text-align: left;">in the entry inside a canvas bag. A few years ago I used a basket to display them. To keep the evergreens fresh I filled a mason jar with water and placed the branches inside the jar. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRYlylCSg3HiPLkHlACqszrvFBOuVRIkrW4dH3QAp9qC4MSkGvB2NEKYkw3SU087vzQkmS5Fn0J8Mp4X7jFMPz7sSSAVfdh1-YqHjQAYdvei4jW-6KZIAJeb8Fo77GHV1zJ2vVj1hllV0/s640/living+room+decorated+for+christmas-lovemysimplehome.comIMG_2031.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="blog-lovemysimplehome.com" border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="426" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRYlylCSg3HiPLkHlACqszrvFBOuVRIkrW4dH3QAp9qC4MSkGvB2NEKYkw3SU087vzQkmS5Fn0J8Mp4X7jFMPz7sSSAVfdh1-YqHjQAYdvei4jW-6KZIAJeb8Fo77GHV1zJ2vVj1hllV0/w426-h640/living+room+decorated+for+christmas-lovemysimplehome.comIMG_2031.jpg" title="love my simple home" width="426" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw3g9U56jCUyRMcW8Twyy_broXue3OOMG60LPnSTYnyIikomBnrOZA8q-mANUuCee9VtN3VIOZM3tge9Fz8Fvs79kGKC1EIv4Q5q3fvJofReLynN2-ian4kyHWkATL263jHyTiLu_v_SQ/s640/minimal-christmas-and-winter-decor-lovemysimplehome-IMG_9293+%25282%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="blog.lovemysimplehome.com" border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="354" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw3g9U56jCUyRMcW8Twyy_broXue3OOMG60LPnSTYnyIikomBnrOZA8q-mANUuCee9VtN3VIOZM3tge9Fz8Fvs79kGKC1EIv4Q5q3fvJofReLynN2-ian4kyHWkATL263jHyTiLu_v_SQ/w354-h640/minimal-christmas-and-winter-decor-lovemysimplehome-IMG_9293+%25282%2529.jpg" title="love my simple home" width="354" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The coat closet is dressed up with this simple swag made with evergreens.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1nZh37tEjTH20cEugTarXo23thR0clqcLGh6QImAsJoGOAmSEH1_a6oZ1XhBZTaXj-9eDwl2wfnCcfRFMPCxNhyKFTQTVacSMFbx3mVJrA9V8pXOsa50RqZuXGPMwQKl2w3zdItvBOrg/s640/living+room+decorated+for+christmas-lovemysimplehome.comIMG_2025.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="blog.lovemysimplehome.com" border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="426" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1nZh37tEjTH20cEugTarXo23thR0clqcLGh6QImAsJoGOAmSEH1_a6oZ1XhBZTaXj-9eDwl2wfnCcfRFMPCxNhyKFTQTVacSMFbx3mVJrA9V8pXOsa50RqZuXGPMwQKl2w3zdItvBOrg/w426-h640/living+room+decorated+for+christmas-lovemysimplehome.comIMG_2025.jpg" title="love my simple home" width="426" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">I love how it turned out and you can bet that this will be in our home again this year because it was so easy to make!

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, fall is my favorite time to fill the weekends with intimate gatherings with family and friends. A fall table set for entertaining doesn't need to be extravagant to be beautiful. Here are some of my favorite ways to style an intimate and simple fall table for entertaining:</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Whether you are entertaining for two or more welcome your guests by greeting them with a glass of wine served in a wooden tray. Paint the inside of the tray with gold spray paint for a festive look. shop <a href="https://amzn.to/31JRnAf">trays</a>.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Serve simple hors d'oeuvres like rosemary bread, fruit, assorted cheeses, and a seasonal salad. My favorite simple dish to make is root vegetables roasted in the oven with olive oil and sea salt. Prepare as much as you can in advance so you can enjoy spending time with your guests. If you're not into cooking or just don't have the time catering is a good idea! You can serve the catered food in pretty dishes and bowls, your guests will never know. (unless you tell them of course)</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Make a simple centerpiece with just turned leaves. You'd be surprised what beautiful ingredients you can find for your arrangement in your own backyard. Or you can purchase faux leaves, they are just as pretty as real ones and require no initial care. Style your centerpiece on your table with candles or place on a sideboard. Shop <a href="https://amzn.to/31LlqaR">faux fall stems</a>.</div>

Make sure you have comfortable seating for your guests, no one wants to sit on a hard rickety chair. Think about bringing in seating from other rooms in your home. This is easy to do when you are entertaining for two or four. Simply bring in your chairs from another room and place them around the table.

I enjoy baking and like to send my guests home with freshly baked cookies. Store-bought cookies and chocolates are other options. Place the goodies in small fabric bags and hand them out as your guests leave for their ride home. Shop <a href="https://amzn.to/3kwkYET">fabric bags</a>.</div>

It's so easy to keep up with people now through texts, emails, and social media. Am I right? We do it every day. You </span><span style="text-align: left;">text with distant relatives, send emails to </span><span style="text-align: left;">acquaintances,</span><span style="text-align: left;"> and </span><span style="text-align: left;">have friends on Facebook. With all that messaging, we lose some of that personal touch. There is something about writing your words out by hand on paper, sealing it in an envelope, and sending it off in the mail that makes the whole message more enjoyable and personal. If you want to join me in my attempts to ditch the digital and write letters again, I put together a brief overview of the benefits letter writing has for you and included some fun supplies to use. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6DywSy4FjHc-bSMVgcUqxPPsCg538SfxQI21viLKnI_PeWyjZthPe9joHgalpI-N2C3GK2mzhXLsEHxReYdufpPwe6yXaps89d4waXnEAKiv58KAlgqwJ5dEBTpwoExhMJuYV5LwQAP4/s1920/smartmockups_kfplz1s2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="the-benefits-of-letter-writing-love-my-simple-home.com" border="0" data-original-height="1344" data-original-width="1920" height="448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6DywSy4FjHc-bSMVgcUqxPPsCg538SfxQI21viLKnI_PeWyjZthPe9joHgalpI-N2C3GK2mzhXLsEHxReYdufpPwe6yXaps89d4waXnEAKiv58KAlgqwJ5dEBTpwoExhMJuYV5LwQAP4/w640-h448/smartmockups_kfplz1s2.jpg" title="the benefits of letter writing-lovemysimplehome.com" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://lovemysimplehome.com/collections/greeting-cards/products/cherry-blossoms">CHERRY BLOSSOMS NOTE CARD</a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>This post contains affiliate links</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><b> THE BENEFITS</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>You get to practice your handwriting. </li><li>You feel more in touch with the person you are communicating with.</li><li>You get to play with all your fun stationery supplies.</li><li>You get to slow down for a moment to just breathe and write.</li></ol>Whether you like your handwriting or are embarrassed with it, "slow" letter writing can open your channels of creativity.

I think there is a huge benefit to just sitting down in your favorite spot with nothing but smooth paper, a beautiful pen, and a message to send to your recipient. Take time to think about the person you are writing to. Sit in deep thought in silence or play soft music, slowly sip a cup of coffee or tea while gathering your thoughts.

Have you ever received a letter written on thin notebook paper and could not read it because it was smudged? If you're going to become a letter-writing artist,☺you're going to need sturdy stationery, pretty envelopes, and cool stamps. Buying stationery that is well-made and beautiful will make practicing this craft all the more enjoyable. Plus stationery that is sturdy will hold up better in transit, and make your writing easy to read. You'll want to purchase stationery in a few different sizes for notes and letters of various lengths.

Unfortunately, it's an awkward size and does not fit inside a picture frame.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you have an awkward-sized print, and want to display it on your wall but are </span><span style="font-size: large;">wondering how to hang it to make it look stylish, I have a solution. The easiest way to hang an awkward-sized print and make it look stylish is with a magnetic print frame. I purchased mine on <a href="https://amzn.to/2TTm0iS">Amazon</a>. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This is the blank wall I decided to hang my canvas print on. It's the ideal spot because it faces the living spaces in our home, which means I get to look at it every day! <a href="https://amzn.to/3go4igW">This is the magnetic print frame</a> I purchased. If you are not familiar with this type of frame, they are crafted from wood with hidden magnets that hold your print in place and have an attached rope that allows it to hang in style. Here is a quick tutorial on how it works. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hi friends, do you feel your home needs a little spring refresh? I sure do! There's something about this time of year that energizes me to freshen up our home. Maybe it's the longer days or the fresh air that streams through an opened window. If you're looking for an easy way to change the look of your space and want to look at something beautiful, <a href="https://lovemysimplehome.com/collections/ocean">wall decor</a> is a great way to start. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">I love the vibrancy of the blues and greens in this photograph. It is one I took when we spent the day on the Northfork of Long Island just driving around stopping here and there discovering new places. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello friends, I hope you are doing well! Did you know one of the easiest ways to purify the air in your home and add a happier vibe, is with plants? I searched on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-d5ac3543?isVisitor=true">Amazon</a> for plants to brighten up our home and found a few favorites that I want to share with you. Since we are spending more time inside our home I picked plants that are easy to care for and can purify the stuffy indoor air. I feel right now more than ever we need the lush green of nature inside, don't you think? </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">If you don't want to fill your whole house with plants, use just a few planters here and there combined with other objects. Get creative and use cups, bowls, and glass jars to place your plants in. <span style="text-align: center;">As long as there is a small ray of sunshine they can thrive.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Or take a clipping from a plant and re-root it in a glass jar with water. The Golden Pothos is easy to re-root! This is a super-easy way to brighten up a space with greenery with little care. Not only is this an economical idea, but it is also very sculptural and you can watch the roots grow. ☺</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Hi sweet friends how are you? I hope you are doing well! If you're looking for a quick spring craft idea you're in the right place! Today I have a quick project using a cloche, faux spring flowers, and live moss to create a beautiful spring bouquet that will brighten the day</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 18px;">. </span><br />

We have several large trees in our yard providing a shady spot for moss to grow so I dug some up from my yard. Did you know moss is super easy to dig up? Just use your fingers to peel it off the ground.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 400;">Now that you have your moss, place it on top of a plate and trim the edges so there is no overhang when the cloche is placed on top. No need to worry about the moss drying because the cloche acts as a greenhouse and keeps the moss moist.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit;">Using your wire cutters trim the branches and stems of your faux spring flowers. Cut them at various heights and make sure to trim them to fit inside the cloche. You can make the arrangement full by adding more branches or keep it light and airy with just a few. </span></div>

Last week I've been busy cleaning out closets and organizing our kitchen, two exhausting tasks that challenged me mentally. During the big clean out, I found items I wanted to keep, donate, and upcycle. One of the items I decided to upcycle was a square wall clock that no longer works. Right away I knew it could be a cute picture frame. At first, I was going to place one of my photographs inside it, but I didn't have one that would fit the frame, so instead, I printed out this sweet quote.<br />
