    Fall is a season filled with apple-picking, tailgating, and of course, pumpkin spice. 

    Bring the fall excitement into your home with these quick and easy fall decor tips!

    The Garden

    Feeling that familiar chill in the air? Your plants feel it too, and that means it’s time to bring in the houseplants, succulents, and tropicals. Make sure they’re placed inside with good lighting and repot if needed!

    Give your houseplants an autumn upgrade with these faux pumpkin planters. They’ll look adorable on your patio or coffee table or anywhere else you put them! (Full DIY instructions here)

    This can also be your opportunity to experiment with your green thumb and plant some new cold-tolerant flowers (violas, petunias, violets, and alyssum) that continue to bloom through frosts. Fall is also a perfect time to plant certain veggies (fast-growing radishes and peas, leafy greens such as lettuce, kale, spinach and collards)!

    The Dining Room Table

    This spot in your home can be the easiest to bring in the fall vibes. No need to overthink here, because even a few thoughtful decorations go a long way! 

    Consider sticking to neutral tones for table runners and place settings to offset the colored decorations for the table like small pumpkins or gourds, your favorite fall candle, or some flowers! 

    The Living Room

    There are so many opportunities to ramp up this gathering space with fall-festive items. If you have a fireplace, mantle, or any free shelf space, drape some leafy garlands and tiny lights to set the tone. 

    It’s time to bring out the cozy fur and wool blankets to keep you and your guests comfy, and nothing says fall like plaid throw pillows. Window wreaths are also a great way to accent doors or bare walls.

    The Kitchen

    Your kitchen is not only where you’ll potentially be baking apple pies and a Thanksgiving turkey, but it’s also home to copper mugs and a pop of pumpkins! Don’t go overboard here, as we’re sure you’ll need the extra counter space this season.

    I was born in South Bend, Indiana where my family owned and operated a small business for over 50 years. Every member of my family has been licensed to practice real estate, and my dad owns a real estate company in Indiana. After graduating with honors from Indiana University in 1991, I earned my CPA and worked for a big six accounting firm in Chicago. Combining my experience and entrepreneurial spirit, I started my own successful accounting business that I ran for 3 years. Next, I embarked on a career as a soybean trader at the Chicago Board of Trade, followed by a successful run as a stock options market maker at the Chicago Board of Options Exchange. I began my real estate career in 2003 as broker/owner of ESM Realty. My team has helped more than 600 clients buy and sell condominiums, townhouses, single family homes, multi-unit residential, and commercial properties. For 14 straight years, we were recognized by Chicago Association of Realtors as Top Producers. Our extensive marketing program includes premium placement on hundreds of websites, morechicagohomes.com and state of the art Facebook advertising. My team works tirelessly to make each client feel like they are our only client! We strive for the highest level of performance every day so that we exceed your highest expectations. Our business is 75%+ referral-based and we want you to not only be our client but our biggest raving fan. In December 2020, I brought my team to Keller Williams ONEChicago with branches in Lincoln Park, Lakeview and O'Hare. To set up a consultation or if you have any questions, please contact me at 773-732-9898.
