Hi friends. I want to share with you one of the (very few) decorated nooks in our new home! This space includes a large blueprint copy of a photo of Jeremy's and my hands (it's from our first trip as a couple and very special to us), a small collection of plants, homemade beeswax candles, a small ladder that I picked up at a flea market, pumpkins and a homemade yarn tassels.
The look I was going for was autumnal but still very fresh and clean. I will probably decorate this space again for Halloween and Thanksgiving, so I kept it simple! I can't seem to leave the grocery store without at least a few pumpkins lately, so they're decorating my living room and porch for now. I can't wait to roast some pumpkin seeds!
Thanks for taking a peek into my new space. I still have a to-do list a mile long, but it feels amazing to be decorating one mini-space at a time! xo. elsie
I am in-love with the string garland you created. It's perfect!

Thank you for posting this! It's inspiring. I am in the process of decorating my space, my boyfriend and I just moved into a place a few months ago.. and it's almost looking the way I want it to look. We have a fireplace too! So, this post will definitely inspire a cute look :) Follow me on instagram: @sierragrossfitness :)

Gah, it's so pretty! I love all the bright orange, the white background and details, and the POP of unexpected color from the ladder.
Really nice.

This is really lovely. I love the pumpkins with the colour of the step ladder, it feels almost spring like, which I think is so refreshing! The blue and white really offset the orange, which as it is my favourite colour, I am quite fond of visually. I'm just about to take my first trip with my beau (after our first year together being long-distance!), and I love seeing this image above your fireplace, and I hope I can keep it in mind this coming weekend away in Quebec so that I can capture some pictures of the two of us together which I hope we can look back on fondly some day too :).

Love it! Where did you get your fireplace screen? I've been looking for one to pretty up the non-functional fireplace in my bedroom (which is fitted with an ugly non-functional heater that I can't remove!) The one you have is just what I'm picturing, though I'd probably paint it a bright color. =)

Looks cozy enough for a home and pretty enough for a store display! Love it.
