A year ago this time I was guest posting for Casey while she traveled through Italy's beautiful countryside and here we are again!! Thank you, Casey for having me. No doubt she and Michael are having a blast!!
I recently stumbled across Katie Brown's home via Strictly Simple Style and was immediately inspired on how much it captured the current trends of the fall season.
Country Living
Wood. You can't help but notice all the natural wood used in this room—from the wide-planked floors to the rustic armoire. The warmth created by the wood's natural and organic texture is the essence of fall.
Nature-inspired tones. Moreover, this room has the quintessential colors that embody fall—golden hues, granny smith greens, moss greens and pops of red.
NY Times
Here is Katie Brown's home in the Berkshires and she has used some of the same furnishings from the first photograph. Again, this room captures the current fall trends.
Global Touches. What I adore about this room is her fresh take on the classic African style. It is an eclectic room that marries natural materials (wood), wordly finds and exotic textiles. I love the global inspired rug and how she stores her wood above the mantle almost as if it is artwork!

Great post Fran! Yes to all of the elements - especially organic ones.
I've always loved having touches of wood in any space. These are really pretty and look so inspired by nature. I'm ready to do some redecorating in my home!
That's funny Fran. I also just discovered Katie Brown after reading about her at Strictly Simple Style. I adore that first room. Great post.
love the post. great photos!
Fran, I really like how you dissected both of these rooms. You pointed things out that I wouldn't have noticed -- like the fact that they have a Fall feel. You are so right. The top room is a particular favorite of mine so it was really cool to see another home of hers.

I need some fall colors. I'm still very ensconced in beachy blue
Fran, you are so smart for pointing out the earthy quality of Katie's rooms. I've watched her shows many times on PBS and have really liked her approach to living. I've never seen these photos, so this post was all new to me!
I love wood touches for the fall/winter months. Katie Brown has a collection at Meijer stores with some really good looking and affordable wood pieces. (I think Meijer stores may only be located in the midwest.)
