Bedtime Stories is Mandy ' s favorite time of year . I ' ve always been more partial to summer myself , but as the years pass , I find myself appreciating the seasonal shift more and more . The vibrant reds , oranges , and deep earthy tones paint a colorful canvas that draws us in as the weather cools . This is the time of year when many of us retreat into our homes , entering what I like to call " cocoon mode ." We seek comfort , layer our spaces with texture , and transition from the cool , fresh palette of summer to the warmer tones that make our homes feel like a cozy retreat .
In this issue , we ’ ve curated an array of articles that are sure to inspire your fall design transformations . Whether you ' re looking to refresh your bedroom with warm , inviting accents , give your bathroom a quick seasonal update , or try out some mouth-watering fall recipes , we ' ve got you covered as we head into the holiday season .
As we celebrate our 20 th anniversary , I can ’ t help but reminisce about how far we ’ ve come . What began as a simple idea to bring inspiring content to homeowners across the country has blossomed into something far bigger than I could have imagined . I am so grateful to each of you who have shared your renovations , builds , and design journeys with us over the years .
Here ’ s to another great year ahead . So , grab your favorite blanket , find a comfy spot on the sofa , and settle in — you ’ ve got a fantastic read ahead !
