I’m still easing into Fall around here—especially when it comes to decorating. I made some simple changes to our living room, blending in a few pinecones with what I already had, and adding touches of gold around the room. I also left a little bit of Summer in the mix, because seasons kind of naturally melt into each other anyway—right? It’s less obvious “Fall” than in other years, but somehow, the room seems cozier to me.
So, I hope you’ll enjoy these shots full of mushed pillows, slipcovers that need to be washed, leaning artwork that still needs to be framed and baby heads dashing in and out of the photos. Welcome to our (Fall) home. . .
Not until I was editing the photo, did I read the label on this old medicine bottle ;)

October 1, 2014 at 9:14 amI love it all. So fun to see the children pop in too. The touches of nature and gold are perfect.

October 1, 2014 at 9:43 amI really like all the natural tones and elements you’re bringing in for autumn. It’s a nice way to emphasize the season without going overboard with pumpkins and witches and other typical fall decor!

October 1, 2014 at 10:09 amLove the kidlets in the pix! Where does one find wooden beads? I see them in quite a few home pix, but have never seen the beads for sale anywhere. Thanks!
Emily Clark says
October 1, 2014 at 10:20 amI always look at the flea market. And, I lucked into the big gold beads at my Goodwill the other day. They had them locked up in the glass cabinet but they were only $5 :)

October 1, 2014 at 10:21 amPosable, maybe. Cooperative, maybe not ;)
Meg @ Peaches and Cake says
October 1, 2014 at 11:06 amI am so in love with your living room. I’m sure you’ve shared somewhere else on the blog already but where are your black bordered roman shades (and also the lampshades on the sconces) from? I have a new little one at home and have awful shades with cords in my new home (hello choking hazard!) and am looking to update with cordless roman shades. Thanks!

October 1, 2014 at 2:49 pmHi Emily, first time for me on your blog! I guess you are also coming to Williamsburg this weekend! What fun!
It’s so interesting how you decorate — I have many similar items in our living room. Vintage books and bottles, succulents, sunburst clock… :)
Looking forward to meeting you!!

October 1, 2014 at 3:34 pmYour living room is very pretty. I love the pics with your kiddos in them. They are getting so big.
Mariann says
October 1, 2014 at 4:16 pmWhat a beautiful room! Though it seems like you’ve always had lots of gold in the room…so what gold accessories did you have and what stays year round? I love brass/gold and want to leave lots up year round.
I love following your blog!
Emily Clark says
October 1, 2014 at 4:21 pmThanks, Mariann. I always have the brass lamps and frames but for Fall, I added the gold beads, an artichoke on the coffee table and the bird on the mantel. I also leave out the brass planters year round. I think golds really work for any season.

Where did you get the mirror above your mantel. It’s beautiful. I so love your blog :)
Emily Clark says
October 1, 2014 at 10:11 pmThank you, Kathleen. It’s from Ballard Designs, although I don’t think they still carry it.
Design Chic says
October 1, 2014 at 11:52 pmIt all looks so beautiful, Emily, and I love all of the attention to detail. The natural starburst mirror is gorgeous and the natural elements are the perfect additions for fall…love the antlers!!

Thank you! I love your blog!
Joanna says
October 2, 2014 at 9:40 amBeautiful and a room that you can live in with kiddos!! Not sure if you’re willing to share but I love the piece of art propped next to the fireplace, can you share where that’s from?
Love it all and your philosophy, refreshing as I have 10 mo old twins and another on the way but enjoy pretty spaces!!
benitta says
October 3, 2014 at 1:39 pmLove your family room!

Just curious, my 3 year old daughter will do so!

November 15, 2014 at 11:27 amHi! I would love to do a gallery wall like yours, and was wondering where you got all of your frames? Thank you so much!! So beautiful!!
Emily Clark says
November 15, 2014 at 3:56 pmI buy most of my frames at IKEA (some were spray painted gold).
Jenn Burgon says
February 24, 2015 at 5:49 pmHi Emily,
I’m just curious about your paint color. I saw you said it was SW Amazing Gray. Do u still love it? I’m getting my house painted next week and with spending $2000 to get everything painted i want to make sure ill love it. Do u wish you’d gone lighter? Do you love your kitchen being the White?
Thanks so much,
Jenn
P.s. I’m so excited to see you at the Lowes in Huntersville next week.
Emily Clark says
February 25, 2015 at 8:43 amI do really like it. It doesn’t come across as dark, just a soft neutral. I do wish our living room got more natural light, though… Look forward to meeting you next weekend!

August 13, 2017 at 8:47 pmHi Emily,
I love the way you have transformed your house so beautifully. Even we have bought a 40 year old house 2 years back and we keep thinking to renovate it but don’t know where to start from. It will be really great if you can guide us to some pointers like any designers that we can consult etc.. will appreciate your help in this.
Thanks,
Manu
