“There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen, as if it could not be, as if it had not been!”
~Percy Bysshe Shelley
I am a decorator, a nest maker. I like my space, whether it be in my office or in my home to reflect me (and in the case of my home, my wife and I). I want it to be a place that is not filled with books and bric-a-brac for the sake of taking up space but instead is a reflection of passions and interests while being a calming, relaxing environment.
To that end I like to make small season changes to various spaces, and my favorite seasons to do this are autumn and the winter/Christmas season.
I do not know when it is ‘officially’ time to start decorating for autumn. For me it is when I start to have that autumn feeling, even just an inkling of it. Regardless of temperature or the date on the calendar, when I decide it is time I begin to create autumn, both in my home and in my heart.
