We Love Fall Most of All

Without a doubt, fall is one of the coziest times of the year. From the crisp weather and changing leaf colors to knit sweaters and pumpkin-flavored treats, this season has something for everyone.

Crystal Cox, a mom and goldendoodle breeder, couldn't agree more.

"Fall is 5 my favorite time of year," she says. "I love making things feel homey and cozy, so fall is perfect for that." When it comes to decorating her gorgeous home for the season, Crystal holds nothing back.

"I truly love fall décor," she says.

And, because her furniture has a neutral aesthetic, she likes to add fun pops of color wherever she can. For instance, Crystal brings warmth to her entryway by integrating a yellow blanket and orange pillows.

"The front entryway is my favorite area in my home," she says.

"It's the most fun to decorate due to having all the pegs and the shelf. I change my décor here every season." Although Crystal knows she wants her home to look beautiful and feel inviting, she has a tough time defining her style: "I have never really known how to describe it. I like to call it 'whimsy, cozy fairytale!"

NO PLAN? NO PROBLEM!

At the beginning of September, Crystal starts transforming her family's home for fall. However, she doesn't have to do all the heavy lifting, because her husband helps her a lot.
