Before we dive into Fall Nesting and doormats, I wanted to make sure you didn’t miss a few recent posts when my email newsletter glitched. If you missed my sponsored post about Who Gives a Crap, or my posts linked below, you can catch up on the blog. I didn’t go MIA — just a small tech hiccup!
Now, let’s talk about one of my favorite topics: FALL. I know some of you think it’s too early to mention autumn and others are ready right now. Either way, fall will be here before we know it.
I’m loving our Northwest summer, but I’m a homebody and a fall-lover at heart, so it’s never too soon for me to daydream about cozy seasons and home-making traditions.

My philosophy is that the seasons change gradually outside and we can let our homes evolve the same way. There’s no rush — savor each moment and welcome the new season with intention and joy.
Fall Nesting is my favorite annual series and always a highlight for readers. We’ve been sharing Fall Nesting together for over a decade, and it continues to be a cozy tradition I love returning to.
In this series we explore preparing your home for fall, appealing to the senses, adding creature comforts, and taking cues from nature to refresh your spaces. We share fall favorites, small traditions, and simple ways to fall in love with your home all over again each season.

A little inside news for longtime readers: I’m working on a new photo and coffee table book that celebrates the seasons, including autumn. I’m excited to share more as it comes together — I think fellow season-lovers will enjoy it.
I’ll share this year’s Fall Nesting theme and the series format next week. But for now, my usual advice is to start with the front porch when prepping for fall. It’s an easy, high-impact place to begin. If you need ideas, check out the short video we made about creating a welcoming porch for inspiration.
If you know you’ll want a new fall doormat once Fall Nesting begins, consider grabbing one now before they sell out. Below are a few favorites to inspire your porch refresh.
