The warmer months are here and I’m all about refreshing rooms and brightening up spaces in my home! The greatest update I did this season was changing out my traditional taupe living room sofas for a brighter, more contemporary look with a sofa and love seat from Jonathan Louis Furniture. I also updated some living room accessories. (For links to items in this post go here.)
I added this large contemporary white bowl to my coffeee talbe and filled it with vibrant green moss balls. This really brought in a pop of color againz the cosateal, nuetral furniture and pillows.
My new Jonanthan Louis customized furniture is part of the chic, tailored Pia Collection - and I absolutely love it! There were so many fabrics options to choose from, and after narrowing it down to three fabric swatches, I chose a beautiful, elegant fabric called Dover Ivory. This is a just live™ performance fabric. That means this fabric is durable, STAIN RESISTANT, soap cleanable and moisture repellant. Definitely check out Jonathan Louis and all their amazing furniture options for your home! #ad
Even though sofas, chairs and loveseats come with coordinating pillows, you don’t have to be stucke using them if they don’t strike your fancy. I always bring in my own pillows with different colorors, patterns and fabrics to create a more interesting look.
I also update my fireplace mantle decor. Again, like the coffee table, I kept the look pretty light and airy with a pop of green from some faux eucalyptus stems. I also added two more white clay vases that act as book end for the linen decorative books.

To me spring time is all about flowers! I love to be surrounded by the beauty of flowers, but would rather not spend money constantly buying real ones. So I turn to faux florals! They never wilt or die, and always look fresh! I always buy faux florals at Michael’s craft store because of the quality in the texture and colors. You can place them in a white ceramic pitcher, a galvanized pot, or traditional glass vase - the decorating possibles are endless! Definitely my go to for Spring Décor!
Every year I choose a color pallet for Easter table. Last year it was peach with touches of aquas. This year I wanted to devote the entire tablescape to pinks and whites.
I’m blessed and have a closet off my powder bath totally dedicated to storing my home decor. I buy things I know so will be staple and I will use again. I also hold on to a lot of things, like fabric, vases, and greenery, that I know can be repurposed. Such is with this pink a polka fabric. I used it three years ago for my daughter birthday party. I held on to it, and brought it out to be my Easter table runner. I folded the edges over instead of sewing and it worked great! It saved money buying on one! To an add more texture I added lace on top, also something I also had in my closet.
Strawberry petite fors!
I couldn’t find pink napkins to match the decor, so I brought out some old Pottery Barn curtains that I used in my daughter’s room 15 years ago! They were faded but perfect for what I need them for. I used my pinking sheers to cut them in a 16 inch square. Them I placed them on top of white square cloth napkins I already had, and secured them with my darling bunny napkin rings.

✨DREAMS COME TRUE!!✨That’s my home on the COVER! I’m so honored to have had the opportunity to have my Christmas home on the cover, the inside cover, and a ten page feature in the 2021 The Cottage Journal Holiday Home magazine!
I was so busy last holiday season with the magazine and my daughter’s wedding I never had a chance to write a blog post about this extraordinary experience!
The Cottage Journal contacted me Fall 2020, asked if I would like to be featured in one of their 2021 Christmas magazines. I was thrilled!! I couldn’t believe it! I immediately got to work planning, designing, and styling each room before the photo shoots. I worried so much about every little detail - every little ornament, every ribbon, and every piece of greenery. My husband Justin and I did all the photography since we have our own light kit, tripod, and DSLR camera. This worked out well because we were able to shoot one room at a time - especially with having five kids at home.
I wanted everything to be perfect, and have as much natural light as possible, so we ended up reshooting the dining room and living room three times. After I sent the raw photos to The Cottage Journal team during January of 2021.
Then in July, amazing writer Katie reached out to me with questions to answer for the article. Katie did an outstanding job! The article was like a window to my heart.
In September Katie conveyed to me the most exciting new ever - that my home, my photography, was going to be on their cover story! I couldn’t believe it - my home was going to be on the cover of a prestigious interiors design magazine!!
The magazine hit newsstands on October 12th, 2021. I received two complimentary copies a few weeks before that. When I first opened the package with the publication I sobbed with joy. It was an incredible feeling!
The next several weeks were magical as my family and I would go around to different stores to find the magazine. It was fun to be at the check out counters at places like Albertsons or Lowes, and to look over and see my Christmas living room while I’m purchasing our items.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the wonderful The Cottage Journal team for choosing me! It was an extraordinary experience!

Do you like to change up your fall decor look? Every year I love to change up my fall decor. Some years I like to push the boundaries and decorate with pastels and creams, other years I like to stick to neutrals, muted grays or traditional jewel tones.
I’m excited to show you a collection of my favorite fall photos through the years. Let’s go back five years ago to 2017 and work our way up to 2021.
In 2017 I saw this sage green pumpkin at Micheal’s Craft Store and knew I had to have it! The shape was so perfect and color was so calming. This one pumpkin ended up setting tone for that year’s entire fall look. I then added more soft hues mix with it like faux lambs ears. It was nice to have the light and airy feel cary over summer. To this day, this photo is still one of my most popular liked photos on Instagram.
I loved that sage green pumpkin so much that I decided to try different coffee table arrangements with it. I created this lovely light colored display bringing in neutral colored florals, greenery in wood vases and a beaded garland.
For the fall of 2018, I decided to go more of a farmhouse rustic look. I celebrated the season with muted grays, soft greenery, and lots of darling farmhouse signs. I also brought in touches sunflowers in neutral colors. Who says you can’t mix sunflowers with fall decor?😉
The cute wood signs and pillows are from Krumpets Home Decor. You can always use code NISSALYNN for 10% off your entire order.
Brought in lots of neutral creams, soft hues and lots of texture during he year 2019. My inspiration came after I took a trip to Hobby Lobby and saw their lovely fall florals. I bought lots of fall colored stems and put them into a custom wood planter box my just built for me. 🍂
I was extra excited to decorate for fall in 2020! I wanted to usher in autumn in with traditional fall colors - but with a twist. I placed bright oranges and browns in my mantle garland, and I love how it looked against the white trim work and light walls. It definitely gave the room a much needed pop of color! I repeated the same colors for the coffee able but added different textured pumpkins. This photo of my coffee table and fall mantel has been shared thousands of times and featured on many social media accounts. It’s one of my favorites for sure!🍁
This year, in 2021, I discovered my love of mango wood and incorporated it this year’s fall decor. I knew this mid century modern sign would be a perfect fit for my mantle - because of the clean lines and easy to read font.
These darling mango pumpkins are from Krumpets home. You can always use code NISSALYNN for 10% off your order at Krumpets.
I purchased these rattan pumpkins this year from Kirklands. I love that light brown color, and I know they will be pieces I will use in years to come!
I also had fun bringing fall decor into the kitchen this year by decorating this tiered tray. I purchase this tiered tray from Hobby Lobby a few years back and it was sage green. After a year of having it, I spray painted it white to brighten it up. The wooden leave cut outs are from 12timbers
Hopefully this has given you lots of fall decorating inspiration!

When I found out I was going to have family flying into town for Halloween, I was so excited to decorate for this holiday! Every year I’ve always just decorated my living room for Halloween, but this year I wanted to branch out and do a “spooktackular” Halloween tablescape! And I must say, I think it’s my most favorite tablescape ever!
With it being halloween, I chose a black and white color scheme, and then added pops of orange. The first thing I did was pull out this black and white striped table runner from my decorating closet and put it on my table.
Then I was on the hunt to find some fun Halloween decor. When I saw this Mackenzie-Childs witch’s hat - I was obsessed! I knew that it had to be the center of the tablescape. After placing it on the table, I wanted the hat to stand up a little taller, so I put the hat on a white tray and then raised it a couple more inches by putting it on a couple wood boards. Then I covered the boards with fabric and fake leaves. Next I added patterned and solid colored pumpkins on either sides of the hat. (The Mackenzie-Childs Courtly Check gets me every time! I just love the black and white whimsical pattern.)
These glasses are from the Dollar store! Can you believe it? I only needed eight for this table setting, so I bought each glass at a dollar a piece. That was cheaper than buying 2- 6pk glasses at Walmart or Target - I checked!
Tip: When putting together a place setting, think of it as a pyramid. Start with the largest piece on bottom and layer until the smallest piece is on top. I usually start with a placemat, then a charger, dinner plate, salad plate and napkin and napkin holder to finish it off. 😊

I wanted to throw this photo in for fun. This is my Halloween decorated living room.
I hope you have an amazing Halloween! I hope it’s a day filled with fun and laughter.

My living room is all decorated for fall! I had fun using lots of different textures in my coffee table decor, while bringing in pops of traditional fall colors. Do you enjoy decorating for fall?🍁🍂🍁
Can you tell that this fireplace garland is actually three different garlands put together? 🍁 I couldn’t find a large garland anywhere so I used two garlands of one kind and a different one for the center, then put them all together. I nailed in two tiny white nails in the front of the mantle to keep the garlands from falling forward. Then I also added faux leaves, flowers and beaded stems to fill in empty spaces and to make the three garlands look like one.
This photo below might be one of my favorite photos I’ve ever taken. To me this photo represents fall, with all its’ wide range of colors and natural elements. For the center police I used a lot of wood texture. I paired the mango wood candlesticks with the painted white word pumpkins, then added fall stems to fill in the empty areas on the tray. (The taupe and orange pumpkins are from Hobby Lobby.)
This white tray is a home decor staple in my home. I use it for almost every season because the white goes with everything, plus it’s the perfect size for most coffee tables. You can find it here.
I love what this tag says. “Grateful.” To me this tag says one of the most important virtues in life. To me, being truly grateful for blessings in one’s life will only bring true happiness. When I saw this pumpkin at the store, I knew I had to get it and take an uncles photo of it. I also love the pumpkin because it’s so interesting with the carved indents on it. It make it so interesting, and interesting pieces are great in decorating.
I love the look of candlesticks, but I don’t lichee mess of real candles! Flawless candles were one of the best inventions ever! I always purchase mine here.
Notice the white leaf stamp on the orange pumpkin? I found it fun to mic the muted orange next to the contrasting deep red beads.
The cute orange pillow, white wood pumpkins and Harvest sign are from Krumpet’s Home Decor 🍁 Use code NISSALYNN for 10% off your order plus free shipping on orders over $25
You don’t have to buy new seasonal decor every year. I always use decor from previous years, and then buy a couple new pieces each year. In fact,this autumn sign I’ve had for over thirteen years. I bought it from one of my friend’s boutique, and it’s 100% hand made.
Hope you enjoyed a little tour of my fall living room! If you have any questions feel free to email me!

I forgot to post this at christmas time! But I wanted to share!
This was the first year I decorated my office, actually, this is the first Christmas that I have actually had an office. Before it was my Husbands office. I knew I wanted to go glam and girly, so what better way than to add little and sparkles in the Chsrmas decor,
I wanted the the to compliment the room, so I decorated my 6fy floot focked tree with silver balls, and blush bows. Both of which I found at Hobby Lobby. Tip: when you seen a seasonal item you like at Hobby Lobby, buy it! They rarely get restocked! Once it’s gone- it’s gone!

I’m super excited to be a part of a Christmas blog hop with so many talented ladies, as they share some wonderful Christmas inpiration! Follow the links to their blogs below.
Even before there was social media, I knew I wanted Christmas in my home to feel magical. When I was young, I remember my mother spending days, every year, decorating for Christmas. She would trasform the entire downstairs into a whimsical, magical, Christmas land. I remember when I was in college, I couldn’t wait to come home to such a festive house. So when I started having my own children I knew I wanted the same type of atmosphere to surround my family.
Over the years I’ve discovered three easy budget friendly decor items to help make your home magical for the holidays.
First is lighting! I put Christmas lights everywhere! I buy short strands of lights at Target or Amazon and place them on console and entryway tables. I also put them in all my garlands, wreaths, and coffee table decor! I also add a bunch of candles. In years past I’d use real ones, but now I opt for the LED battery operated, remote control candles.
These wooden candlesticks are a staple for decorating! You can get them here.
Another key piece I use to make Christmas shine is plastic Christmas balls. You can buy them in bulk making them pretty inexpensive. I always mix silver and red ones, in all different textures. Foe example, I use red and silver glitters ones, matte ones, ones with designs, and balls in all different shapes and sizes. These shine when the light hits them - making them sparkle. It is so easy, I just dump them into glass vases or jars, and display them all around the house. They look so glamorous, festive and fun! You can also tie ribbon around the glass for an added color!
You can find these beautiful velvet quilted stockings here.
This year I ordered most of my holiday decor from Krumpet’s. Use code NISSALYNN for 10% off your order.
I recently purchased this sofa table and LOVE it! You can find the sofa table here.
Which brings me to my other decorating necessity: ribbon. I but new ribbon every year, but never throw old ribbon away, unless it’s worn out. Ribbon is another super economical way to add Christmas flair to everything! You can tie ribbons on candlesticks, packages, jars, stockings, pretty much anything! I use a lot of different ribbon on my Christmas trees, and I love to mix and match different patterns to create interest. I often use Christmas ribbon along with regular ribbon that you can find in sewing or fabric department at the craft stores. Before purchasing, I always make sure I have a store coupon or wait until ribbon goes on sale - with crafts stores, you should never have to pay full price!
All the ribbon seen here came for the Hobby Lobby sewing department.

Hopefully these tips I’ve shared will help when you’re creating your own magical Christmas!
I also encourage you to visit these other inspirational home decor bloggers. They constantly amaze me with their talents and love of decorating!
Tablescapes are my favorite! I love setting the table for family and friends to help make an occasion extra special. To me, decorating the dinner table brings family and friends together and traditions are formed.
As I was thinking of what kind of look I wanted for my Thanksgicing tablescape, I decided I wanted a long wooden box with fall florals to run down the length of the dining room table. I found some online, but there were super pricey. So I asked my husband to make one for me. He already had leftover wood in the garage from past projects, so we didn’t have to buy anything! We measured how long I wanted it, and then he started cutting and assembling the box. You an see a short tutorial video at the end of this post.
