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.
This book is beautiful, full of pictures and tips and a little bit of humor. Buy it, HERE.

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.

My question is how can I make the fireplace in our apartment look more centered? It doesn’t sit in the middle of the brick wall; it’s off to one side on the brick wall.
How do I make my small bathroom look bigger?
I need to make this during apple season!!
I would love to know how to make a room feel warm and inviting.
My biggest decor question is HOw do I decorate my wall space with all my family photos without making it look so cluttered??
I have quite a few items I want to showcase, not sure how to do that without creating a lot of clutter. The book sounds great, sure I could find some great suggestions.
I am in need of creating more seating space in the living room but really only have two walls to put furniture against because the living room is pass through
My question is will beiges and browns come back? I love warm neutrals and just waiting for the trends to match my taste.
How important is matching furniture?
How can you really change a room without having to paint?
How do I make a room feel big in a very small room?
Wow, how can I make my table as inviting as yours? The crisp looks amazing as well
I have an awkwardly shaped master bedroom! No idea how to furnish it nicely
That looks fantastic we will give it a try and let you know !
Are there colors to avoid?
Oh I love this! Can’t wait to make this and thanks for the giveaway!
Meant to ask, what do I do for curtains if the window is up against the wall? I have a narrow living room and on one wall the fireplace is flanked by windows on each side but the wall is to the edge of the window. Can I do curtains? It will block the window.
My living room furniture placement doesn’t really seem inviting. Any other arrangement would cover baseboard heat/air vents. What do I do??
Great site and fantastic recipes!!!
I have a small apartment. What’s the best way to store items without keeping them out in the open?
What’s the best way to store spices in a small kitchen?
This dessert looks amazing and even I could make this ..lol well maybe
This looks yummy! I hope you can help me, as I have been going around and around trying to figure out what to do with a dark foyer. I can’t afford to make a mistake. It is fairly square, and the door to the outside on one end, a hallway on the other end, a plain wall on one side, and the opening to the living room on the other side. It is painted a warm cream. There is one overhead light fixture. Expert advice appreciated!
My bathroom is very small there’s not even enough room to have a hamper in there. So my question is this, How can I make it more functional?
We live in a very small house, on an extremely tight budget (up to now all our furniture has been free)! Any tips?
Are dark colours a no for very small spaces?
Similar to what others have said, I make a similar dish that we call apple crisp. I love to decorate to fall but don’t want to have too many season specific items so I base my decorations in neutrals and use seasonal decorations that I adore as accents.
