We're back from our summer break!!! It was a bit extended because Kelly was helping her MIL and Anita moved her mom to Texas from Oklahoma. Summer is officially over and we are very excited to be back and talking about fall decor!

Our best advice is to go natural and simple. We don't like the idea of spending a fortune of decor that you just use once. If you are going to buy something for the fall, invest in something worth keeping and using every year.

Be sure to check out Anita's Cedar Hill Farmhouse wallpaper collection on the Cedar Hill Farmhouse website HERE.

You can also go straight to the wallpaper site HERE and HERE.

Anita uses these fall dishes every year.

Less is definitely more - more style, more curated, more enjoyment. Today we teach you how to increase your style but reducing your stuff!

A few of the key points from today's episode -

A house overflowing with stuff (even good stuff) can be stressful.

Don't buy stuff just because it's cheap and on trend.

Steer clear of trends unless they really speak to you.

Collect things you love

Don't buy things just because they are the right color.

Don't buy things just because your decor has a 'hole' in it.

Summertime and the living (and decorating) is easy! There are so many simple ideas to freshen up for this season. 

Summer decorating might just be more about what you take away than what you add. Remove and store away any items that say winter. That is includes the beloved furry Mongolian pillows!

Maybe you take down drapes & let the room bask in even more sunlight.

If you are adding for summer, how about:

A straw hat casually hung on a hook or from a chair back; HERE

Learn to make your passion for decorating work for you. If this sounds right for you simply email "I've got the passion" to kelly@mysoulfulhome.com.

You are an email away from starting your decorating business!

We had so much more to say after the MUST KNOW DECORATING TIPS part 1, that we had to record a part 2! This part 2, unlike many sequels, is just as great as part 1 - maybe even better!

You can find part 1 HERE.

Here are just a few of the MUST KNOW DECORATING TIPS we shared in this episode.

~ Scale your furniture to the room size & ceiling height;

~ Do your homework before buying antiques;

~ Use furniture to delineate spaces;

~ Choose a simple, neutral tile backsplash ( you will never regret it! );

~ Add a mirror to your entry;

~ Use furniture with low visual noise in a small space;

~ Incorporate the rule of threes;

~ Use every room in your home regularly ( imprint the life of your family on every square foot! )

Oh and the tips go on & on .... as do the laughs & stories.

Our Hot Topic this week makes us re-examine Amazon. Listen to the discussion & read HERE.

Are you a collector? Do you have a passion for dishes, or linens or something else? Let's talk about how to collect without becoming a hoarder. What are the do's and don'ts of collecting?

First, try to curate your collections so that you just have your favorite pieces, the best of the best. You don't need a hundred items to make it a curated collection. Next try to do a write up on the items for future generations. Why are you collecting the items? What is their importance to you or your family?  Make a note of anything of a large monetary value so your family will know.  If you suspect your collection is worth a lot of money, have it appraised, then consider securing a rider on your insurance policy for the items, so they will be covered in case of loss.

We also encourage people to display their items and if possible, use them. I collect dishes, and I try to use them often. Boxing things and putting them in the attic is not a good way to enjoy them.

Today she shares her findings, what you need to know about the switch from incandescent to LED and we discuss the state of lighting today. As lighting can make or break your decor this is a must listen bonus episode.

Bottom line:

If you miss the radiant warmth of a gently dimmed incandescent light bulb,

the Philips Ultra Definition 60W Replacement A19 Dimmable LED Light Bulb

with Warm Glow Effect Soft White might be the next best thing, at least for now.

These LED bulbs are designed to mimic the analog ambience of a heated light

filament by casting more red light waves as their dimming level gets lower,

without the need for Wi-Fi or a complicated app setup.

So if you're longing to bask in that nostalgic radiance. Try these bulbs HERE.

( make sure to choose soft white - 800 lumens - 60 watt )
