Bring Coziness To Your Home This Fall!

by Towne Home Furnishings

Ahh, Fall! Who doesn’t love the sound of crisp leaves underfoot and the taste of pumpkin spice everything (especially lattes!)? One of our favorite ways to celebrate the season is by filling our homes with scrumptious scents. There’s just something about a cozy house filled with family, friends and delicious smells that lets us know our favorite season is finally here.

The Nose Knows

Looking for ways to cozy up your home for fall? Try these easy aromatherapy ideas:

Bake goodies. Fill your home with the scent of freshly baked pumpkin pie for an instant autumnal aroma. It doesn’t have to be made from scratch—even frozen pies smell fantastic while they bake. Premade sugar cookie dough also produces a heavenly scent. Nothing says “home” like the smell of vanilla!

Light a candle. Don’t want to go to the trouble of baking? Pick up a pumpkin spice- or sugar cookie-scented candle. Other scents that conjure fall include cranberry, sugar and spice, cinnamon and pear. Try burning different scented candles to create your own signature smell.

Create a stovetop simmer. Combine one sliced orange, a couple of cinnamon sticks and a few dried cloves in a saucepan. Add enough water to cover all ingredients and simmer on the stove. Check on your concoction periodically and add more water as needed. Your whole home will smell heavenly!

HOW TO MAKE A VINTAGE COUNTRY DINING ROOM STYLE

by Towne Home Furnishings

There is nothing as homey as the look of a tablecloth on the table and the smell of something coming out of the oven. You can create that warm sense of nostalgia by introducing a few well-placed items around your home. And with a little help, that happy sunshiny feeling will greet you every time you walk in the door. 

Here's what to use so you can dine in vintage country style:

• Whitewashed or distressed furniture

• Vintage items with a new found purpose

• Old-fashioned doors; reused or reinvented as wall art, tabletops or room dividers

• Bushel baskets (or wire baskets) filled with magazines, mittens, mail or anything that needs a home

• Mason jars as glassware, silverware holders or candle jars

• Red and white checked gingham tablecloths, napkins or dishtowels

• White curtains at the window and white china on the table

• Rugs on the floor, any kind will do: painted cloth, rag, braided or jute (to name a few)

• And flowers everywhere: in vases, pitchers, bottles or jars

San Francisco Urban Style

by Towne Home Furnishings

One thing is true about the City by the Bay, living in this town means dealing with blankets of fog, salty air and traffic, traffic, traffic. Wouldn’t it be nice to create a rustic retreat from the sights and sounds of the City? Try adding a warmer layer to your abode by introducing rustic furniture pieces that reflect the San Franciscan vibe. 

For example: gate leg table (Golden Gate Bridge), a sparkly pendant (city lights), muted hues (sea mist) or wood with a milky glaze (weathered boards). Distressed elements in rustic furniture add an eclectic look in the bedroom—an instantly-curated feel with an out-to-sea aesthetic.

Here are some ideas for a San Francisco inspired decor:
