I know we’re still very much in the middle of summer, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t get a little (ok, a lot) excited when the new Hearth & Hand fall collection landed this week.

Around here, I don’t decorate for fall overnight.

I like easing into the season with a few cozy touches that don’t scream pumpkins and you’ll definitely see a little of that reflected in this week’s Wish List.

As always, I’ve rounded up affordable home decor finds, a few wardrobe favorites, a recipe from my kitchen, something fun we’re making together, and one of my favorite little tricks for tackling pesky summer fruit flies.

Suzy | Worthing Court

Weekly Wednesday Wish List #266 Worthing Court TV console.

1. FAVORITE STYLING MOMENT: This is just a partial view of the TV wall in my living room. I’m still working on it, but the thing that I’m struggling with the most is finding art that I love for our Samsung Frame TV.

2. EASY DECORATING TIP OF THE WEEK: Lean a framed piece of artwork on a shelf or mantel instead of hanging it. Layering artwork with other accessories creates a more casual, collected appearance.

3. DID YOU KNOW: Did you know lightly misting faux plants with water before dusting helps trap pollen and keeps leaves looking more realistic?

4. FAVORITE PURCHASE: I am in the midst of bridal shower planning where blue and green is the color scheme. This is one of the prettiest tablecloths that I’ve seen.

Find all of my purchased and loved decorating, gadget, and organizing favorites HERE .

5. LOVELY LIVING AND BEYOND: Open the curtains wide during the day and let natural light fill your home. Bright rooms feel cheerful, welcoming, and full of life during the summer season.

6. READER QUESTION OF THE WEEK: “How do I balance pretty decor with everyday functionality?” See #10 for the answer!

7. WEEKLY AWESOME FINDS:

This blue and tan vintage-inspired area rug has a classic look that works beautifully in everything from living rooms to bedrooms.
A lantern-style chandelier is one of those timeless lighting pieces that instantly makes a room feel elevated and inviting.

8. WEARABLE STYLE:

9. HOME HACK: Keep a magic eraser near the front door. Scuffs on baseboards, door frames, and walls are easier to tackle the moment you notice them instead of saving them for cleaning day.

10. ANSWER TO READER QUESTION (#5): Choose items that serve both purposes. Baskets, trays, and beautiful storage pieces keep things organized while still adding to the overall look. Here is a great post for decorating your kitchen for function.

Heidi | Eleanor Rose Home

Weekly Wednesday Wish List #266 Eleanor Rose Home entryway with wooden chair and fall throw pillow.

1. FALL IS COMING: I’m not wishing summer away, but the fall 2026 Hearth & Hand collection dropped on Sunday and it’s making me so excited for fall decorations. On the blog, I’m sharing what’s new for fall, my favorite pieces, and how to style them.

2. COZY TIP OF THE WEEK: Fruit flies in the summer are the worst…here is how I get rid of them. Fill a mason jar about a 1/3 of the way up with apple cider vinegar, stretch plastic wrap over the top, secure it with a rubber band, poke a few small holes with a toothpick, and leave it on your kitchen counter or windowsill. The flies will be drawn in by the vinegar, but can’t find their way back out.

3. AMAZON FINDS: Shop cozy finds I’m loving on Amazon.

4. LITTLE THINGS I’M LOVING:

We have both colors of this cozy chenille throw blanket. The quilted pattern is beautiful and you literally can’t beat the price!

There’s a reason the quilt on the back of our couch is a bestseller.

OBSESSED with autumn velvet ribbon. The pattern is so very cozy.
Aren’t these the most charming hooks you’ve ever seen?! Oh my gosh, I want one of each!

5. FROM MY KITCHEN TO YOURS: Not a basil fan? Same! My parsley pesto is the recipe you’ve been waiting for. It’s the same concept, same simple ingredients, but made with fresh flat leaf parsley for a flavor that’s more mellow and I think, much more versatile.
