It’s still 100 degrees outside but I have officially finished decorating for fall 🥰🍂 I’ve uploaded all the pictures of our sustainable + minimal fall decor ON THE BLOG (link in bio!) ⠀ ⠀ Check it out of you need some tips and inspo! . . . #fall2019 #fallvibes🍃🍂 #pumpkinspiceeverything #pumpkinseason #fallaesthetic #sierracampogrande #westpecancoffee #austinblogger #christianbloggers #ecofriendlyliving #minimaliststyle #minimalistlifestyle #realisticminimalism #nontoxicliving #sustainablestyle #falldecor #minimalistfalldecor #minimalistdecor #sustainablefall #sustainabledecor #plasticfreeliving #plasticfreeday #simplefalldecor #fallporch #minimalistdecoration #minimalisminreallife #sparkjoy #intentional #beintentional
I’m still finishing up a couple final touches to my sustainable and minimal fall decor, but a blog post will be coming soon with the photos 🎃⠀ ⠀ Honestly, I’m NOT GREAT when it comes to interior design, but I get so much joy from the feeling of fall in my home, so I am taking my time to slowly and consciously bring in “decorations” that will add a little sprinkle of autumn here and there 🍂 ⠀ ⠀ Sometimes, I get impatient with how long it can take to find something sustainable/ethical; sometimes I’m tempted to just hit up TJ Max and buy everything in one swoop and be done with it... but then I have to realize; there’s a joy in the process. ⠀ ⠀ There’s a joy in searching for the right decorations and really taking time to consider if something will “spark joy” or if it’s just an impulse buy. (However, I’m not convinced impulse buying pumpkins is wrong on any level)... I’m enjoying every aspect of fall this year, from the gathering of fall decor, to the fragrance of sweet pumpkin filling up our home 🍁🌾⠀ ⠀ When do YOU start decorating for fall?
WHAT DOES MINIMALISM MEAN TO YOU?⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I had an interesting convo with my sister this morning about various aspects of minimalism, including things like living below your means (IE, having a house with less-than-posh interior because let’s be honest, having hard wood vs tile flooring doesn’t change functionality 🤷🏼‍♀️), as well as decorating for the holidays - and how much is too much?⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I used to swear against things like decorating because it felt useless to spend money on seasonal decorations, only to store them for the rest of the 10 months they aren’t in use. It wasn’t until we purchased a home that I started decorating for holidays, but even now, I ask myself frequently, “is this too extra? Do I really need this? Does this bring me joy or am I doing this for the ‘gram?”⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ In this, I have discovered that I do find joy in a home that is cozy around the holidays. Certain touches like blankets, pumpkins, and spicy fragrances really make my heart happy. Especially since I work from home and spend so much time here, having those little things, though small, bring me joy and make me love my home even more 💕⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ How do YOU find balance with minimalism? And what does minimalism look like for you?

I felt autumn in the sun on my skin⠀ as I walked upstairs at 3:40 in the afternoon. ⠀ the sun shone through the window like ⠀ fall was yearning to come in already,⠀ and so I let it rest on my skin. ⠀ 🍂 ⠀ #readyforpumpkinspiceeverything
Today marks 2 years of marriage 💕 730 days, 17,520 hours of fun, pain, laughter, tears, joy, frustration, excitement, & uncertainty... but most of all, love. I’m glad to be going through this journey with you. Even though it’s been hard most days recently, I’m grateful we have each other. 📸: @kendallnicolestudios
“Shine on me, beautiful sun. Melt away the parts of me that should be gone.”⠀ ⠀ This year has been my refining year. At the beginning of each year, I choose a word and I study it. This year, my word was “purity”, which seemed like a random word at the time but regardless, I chose it and studied what the Bible said about it. ⠀ ⠀ As I’ve learned more about purity, I have seen the uncanny relevances of the refiner’s fire in relation to purity. The fire melts away the impurities, so to speak.... and although it burns to lose those parts that used to be part of you, you turn into something much more glorious in the end. ⠀ ⠀ And that’s what 2019 has been for me - my refining year. God is definitely refining me, and as painful as it is to feel the burn of the OLD melting away, it’s a painfully beautiful process.⠀ ⠀ Every time it hurts and I’m tempted to grow bitter, I remind myself that God is doing a work in my life that I can’t yet see the outcome of. And so I’m excited and ready for what God is doing in my life. I invite him in, even though it hurts.⠀ ⠀ Even though it hurts, I know I’m growing... I know I’m healing.
