    I hope your big announcement isn’t that you are leaving Denmark 🙁 I know you like to move around, but still, it would be sad news. Maybe you are pregnant?

Comment SHOP to get the links & more styling hacks!! 

Guys! I’m so pumped! I love creating a living space meant to dine in and that’s what we’ve created here! It’s luxe, warm, inviting, smells incredible and gives a sense that you want to linger forever!

Oh, and did I mention that it’s loaded with budget friendly finds & styling hacks? We’ve used everything from dinnerware from Amazon to glassware from IKEA to little marble bowls loaded with little nuts & treats from @hmhome !! 

The baskets, hurricanes, and bowls overflowing with wood and pine cones definitely give a nod to the fall season as do the warm brown velvet curtains (another Amazon find!) 

The only question we have to answer is- what’s for dinner?!

I stocked up on fall foliage because the discount code is so good at the moment and afloral has the best faux stems! I ordered more magnolias because I absolutely LOVE these brown magnolias! I also got the matching garland, the wheat bunch, the cream & tan berries and the longan, too! Happy fall shopping guys!!! Yippee!!
