What We Love Right Now in August // Seaside Bedroom in the Pines
This is the moment when summer still lingers but fall is quietly stepping in. The evenings are cooler, the light is softer, and there is the faint smell of smoke from a fire somewhere nearby. We feel the pull between getting excited for cozy fall evenings and sweater weather but also feeling a little sad to say goodbye to summer. A seaside bedroom in the woods blends both moods with fresh coastal blues and sun washed fabrics paired with rich woods, layered bedding, and the glow of a favorite lamp. It is a space that holds on to the easy feeling of summer while savoring every last minute of it and welcoming the comfort of the season ahead.

Here are some of the pieces I have gathered that capture this in-between season. There are soft linens and airy textures that still feel like summer, alongside heavier knits, warm wood accents, and lighting that glows in the shorter evenings. You will see a striped duvet that brings to mind days by the water, woven baskets that feel right at home in the woods, and lamps that cast a golden light as the nights grow cooler. I have also included candles to bring in that cozy fall scent and soft pajamas that feel like the perfect end to a long day. These are the kinds of details that make a bedroom feel fresh and relaxed yet warm and inviting.
