The September Edit: Cozy Vibes

 

Well, it’s like summer just went poof! As we say goodbye to September, we’re suddenly surrounded by those cozy, rich hues of fall. Time to hunker down and get cozy! No fancy tricks here – just pure comfy vibes. 

Welcome to “The September Edit.” We’re here to dish on what’s going to be keeping us snug at home. 

Imagine this: you, wrapped in your comfiest blanket, surrounded by the warm, earthy colors of fall, and a cinnamon scented candle doing its thing in the background. Yep, that’s the vibe we’re chasing. 

Muddy Colorways Inspire Cozy Comfort

Introducing our color of the month: Farrow & Ball “Brinjal” – a deep burgundy plum. As we step into the heart of fall, this is a color that’s making waves and stealing the spotlight. Inspired by a gorgeous tile chosen for our wet bar up at the Tumalo Ranch project, this hue is the defining color of the season. Why is it such a standout choice for this time of year? 

It Embraces the Essence of Autumn

Its rich, plum undertones evoke the feeling of crisp fall leaves and warm evenings by the fire. It’s cozy enough to create a relaxed atmosphere in your living spaces, yet it carries an air of luxury that can elevate any room. 

It Adds a Sense of Drama

Adding “Brinjal” to your space, whether on cabinets or an accent wall, infuses a touch of drama. It creates depth and intrigue, making a statement without overwhelming the room. Designers are increasingly drawn to these rich hues for their ability to create intimate and inviting environments. It is an excellent bridge from one season to the next!

The Allure of Vintage-Inspired Florals

In the ever-evolving world of design, there’s something timeless and captivating about vintage-inspired florals. We’re highlighting this classic trend, and one standout option that has us swooning is the Pomona fabric in Tobacco from Lisa Fine Textiles. 

It’s the kind of print that effortlessly exudes a nostalgic element. It feels fresh and relevant in traditional interiors. The tobacco shade is a neutral dream. Its versatile and adaptable, blending seamlessly with a wide range of color schemes. Whether you’re into earthy browns, muted tones, or bold contrasts, this fabric can play along beautifully.

We’re considering covering our banquette in this fabric for our Tumalo Ranch dining area. The warm, inviting pattern sets the tone for a cozy meal, enhancing the dining experience with its vintage allure. 

Falling for Brown Fringe Jackets

 

 

In the world of fashion, some trends have the power to steal our hearts and become instant classics. Enter a brown fringe jacket– a gem that perfectly compliments the warm, earthy tones that we’ve been celebrating throughout this post. Fashion and interior design trends very much go hand-in-hand. This jacket is like bringing the cozy atmosphere of our homes with us wherever we go. 

Not to mention, it effortlessly elevates your style game. Whether paired with jeans, a dress, or anything in between, it adds an element of rustic chic that’s equal parts laid-back and fashionable. The fringe detailing is an absolute game-changer. It introduces an element of texture and movement that’s simply irresistible! 

 

 

This September, and for the approaching months of the season, our interiors and fashion choices share a common thread: coziness, warmth, and an appreciation for nature’s color palette. You’re not just following a trend; you’re embodying a timeless aesthetic that celebrates the richness of fall. It’s a reminder that, in the midst of ever-changing trends, some things remain constant.

December always feels like a season all its own. I can already feel myself getting anxious of my “to-do’s” and I am rewriting the narrative this year... which has been an ongoing trend for me in general. Find ways to slow down just enough to notice the little things-like the way the light hits in the late afternoon or how comforting a familiar scent can be.

So in the spirit of curling up and relishing in the comfort of our homes, I find myself drawn to warmth in every form-deep, earthy hues that ground you, textures that invite touch, and timeless details that quietly stand the test of time. This is the season for gathering close, embracing the imperfections of the moment, and leaning into everything that makes your home feel like a haven.

Enjoy our December vision board and find out what we are daydreaming about all month long (LTK link in bio to shop the full roundup)!
If you had asked me 5 years ago if I would ever consider using faux garland, my answer would be… No. Way. But here we are and I find myself using it everywhere. But it’s not that cheesy, plasticky (is that a word?) stuff—I’ve tried many brands (ahem.. I won’t name names) but these are the cream of the crop. 

Ok - so let’s get to the deets of how to achieve this look… Let me tell you:

Materials Needed:
- @afloral 66” faux cedar garland (link in our LTK) I used 4 to get this full of a look!
- command hooks 
- binder clips
- optional: a few additional sprigs + branches for added volume 

1. Stick command hooks on whichever surface you would like to hang your garland from (I spaced mine about 12 inches apart)
2. Attach the binder clips to the stem of the garland
3. Use the hook of the binder clip to attach onto the hook of the command strips
4. Fluff your garland to hide any visible hooks
5. Add a couple of branches into the mix if you are wanting an extra luxe and full look. Don’t forget to fluff! 

If you need this garland (did I mention it’s on sale?) comment ‘GARLAND’ and I’ll send you the link to the exact one we used!
It’s wild how much a room can change when the furniture finally moves in. I still remember walking through our house before it was furnished—it felt full of potential but so unfinished, almost like it was waiting to tell its story.

When the pieces started coming together, it was like the spaces came to life. The living room wasn’t just a room anymore-it became the place where we gather, where we linger over coffee or cozy up for movie nights. The dining room turned into more than just a table and chairs; it’s where we share meals and moments with people we love.

I’ve realized that furniture isn’t just about filling a space. It’s about creating a foundation for how you live. It’s about finding pieces that are not only functional but that feel like they belong. They anchor the room, yes, but they also bring warmth, character, and soul.
Part III of the #High DesertTumaloRanch home tour. Today we are finally revealing the primary suite —and we are just so excited to be able to share with you all the details that went into creating this little private sanctuary.

If you’re new here, this part of the house was an addition to our home. We extended this end of the house 16’ to create a comfortable distance between the entry and the bedroom itself, adding a cozy den in between as a privacy buffer (stay tuned for the den reveal soon!). The primary bathroom went from tiny to feeling spacious and perfect for our routines.

We hope you have enjoyed this tour. The walkthrough has been such a great way to share our design choices and how we shaped our home to reflect our lifestyle.  I’m no natural in front of the camera, 😆 but this has been fun! Thanks for being here. ❤️
