Hello Friends! Today I’m sharing with you a NEW book my friend Melissa wrote with KariAnne Wood, But Where Do I Put the Couch? You can buy the book today!
I’m also sharing a delicious apple crisp recipe, Apple Goody Dessert. This is my go-to apple dessert recipe, especially for fall, when there is an abundance of apples.
Apple Goody Dessert
It’s just a perfect homestyle comfort dessert that’s an easy dessert to make for an autumn dinner. Serve with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Also, enjoy this simple Apple Goody Dessert recipe, a not-too-sweet fall dessert that everyone loves!
Start with your favorite apples (we used Golden Delicious because this recipe is inspired by our friend’s apple tree). Then add the usual “crisp” ingredients.
Cardamom makes everything taste better! It’s citrusy, minty, and spicy, and it’s one of my favorite fall spices!
How to set the table
I get asked all the time, how do you set a simple table for guests?
It’s easy, and fall is one of my favorite seasons for getting an invitation on the calendar.

3 easy tips to setting a fall table
Also just in time for fall, here are 3 simple tips for table decorating:
- Use flowers in season. Look around and gather the plants in season (mums, fall leaves). Right now at the Farmer’s Market you can buy fresh lavender.
- Use your everyday dishes, silverware, and waterglasses. I love to keep a table cloth ironed, hanging in the hall closet, and a set of ironed cloth napkins ready. But of course, paper napkins work just fine, too.
- Where will you eat? Set the table early, tablecloth or not, as it gives you a BOOST to know the table is ready. Just focus on the meal and getting organized before your guests arrive.
Fall is the perfect time to host an “early” outdoor dinner party! Nothing on this table is brand new!
Set a fall table
- Tablecloth – Target (a year ago)
- Dinner Plate Reactive Glaze – Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia AFFLINK >> HERE for set of 4
- Chargers (I bought at a yard sale about 10 years ago)
- Cloth napkins – World Market (clearance)
- Flowers – Mums on the deck! Plus a small bouquet of yummy smelling lavender from the Bend Farmer’s Market
Elegant and beautiful.
Warm fall dessert
Another TIP: I love to have dessert reaady to pop into the oven when the guests arrive. If you make this recipe ahead, you can bake it right as you sit down for dinner. This way the dessert is warm when it comes time for serving.

How can you decorate on a budget?
What are the best curtains to block out light?
New house with flat wall paint. I used a Mr Clean scrubby to clean scuffs on the walls from moving in and now there is a shine in the areas I cleaned. Do I need to paint them again or can I save them?
On one side of my fireplace there are builtins but not the other. Unsure about that space.
What is the best color for a small kitchen?
I love apple crisp. It’s my favorite fall dessert. I never thought to have an outdoor dinner. It’s been so hot here but maybe in a few weeks we can find a perfect night to invite our family for dinner. Thanks for your ideas!
I love there is a chapter on how to showcase the things you love. I’ve been going through some boxes to come across things I have loved and never put to use, I felt these feelings of forgotten love coming back, and it would be good to know how to have them out where they can bring joy!
Thank you for your go to Apple Dessert. I love the low sugar options as guest are eating less and less sugar.

Do you think you can overkill with colors? My favorite Fall colors are burgundy, gold and a little orange. I had someone tell me it was too much because I used the same colors in the kitchen, dining room, living room and bathrooms. I love it tho, but maybe she’s right.

We have really dark wood furniture in our bedroom and I’m wanting to paint the walls robin egg blue, plus use the same blue for our bedding. However, I don’t have a clue what color I should go with when it comes to the drapes. Any idea?
I’m buying new carpet and a sofa for my living room and I can’t decide what color to get for both. Can you help? I have almost new beige marble tile in the kitchen and would like something to match that area. Thanks!

Looks like a perfect fall goody.
What is the quickest way to update a room or make it look different?
Lighting is the quickest way to change the look of a room. Change your bulbs to the warm brown kind. Use a lamp with a shade in every room. Update your lamps. Best lamps for a quick makeover are at Homegoods. Check out their floor lamps too. 2) Declutter is easy to change the look. Think hotel room or model home. Then take everything away. 3) Next best but not quickest way to change a room is paint color. A fresh soft white like SW Alabaster will change a room.
