Welcome to a few cozy scenes from our fall kitchen. My daughter Courtney and I recently styled the space while filming a short brand video for Instagram, and we wanted to share some of the photos from that day here.
It’s always a special treat when we get to bake (and taste!) a cake together and make a pot of coffee to enjoy while we do. Those simple moments—baking, chatting, and arranging the table—make the season feel extra warm.
What a cozy way to officially welcome fall into our kitchen.
In this post I will share:
- a handful of photos from our fall baking day (scroll down to see them);
- the recipe we used for the apple cider donut bundt cake (link provided below);
- sources and inspiration for the dishes, accessories, and gift ideas featured in these photos (listed in my LTK collection).
Enjoy the apple cider cake recipe and the cozy kitchen photos!
If you’d like to save any of these images or ideas for later inspiration, please pin them from this post and credit The Inspired Room—your support helps others discover the content as well, and I appreciate it.



Apple Cider Donut Bundt Cake Recipe
We used the apple cider donut bundt cake recipe from Cake by Courtney. It’s a fun, fall-forward treat that fills the kitchen with warm spice and apple notes.
If you prefer a gluten-free option, you can substitute a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for the regular flour in the recipe.
