We’ve been writing on custom architecture and luxury design in Seattle for more than seven years, and we enjoy looking back on the variety of topics we’ve addressed through the years. Today, we thought we’d dive into our archives and share a few autumn-inspired posts.

Prepare for Fall

Fall isn’t purely gold colors and pumpkin spice. It also requires a few chores to prepare the yard for winter. We’ve collected tips on how to trim your shrubs and protect your plants until spring.

Fall-Friendly Architecture

Well-designed architecture fits with any season, but some styles are made for lovers of fall. We recently explored the virtues of prairie style architecture and its natural connection to autumn. Custom fireplaces, wood textures, and splendid windows make prairie homes an exquisite nest from which to enjoy the changing season.  

Autumnal Decor

While great architecture is timeless, it’s still fun to customize your decor with a few seasonal pieces. We spent some time brainstorming uniquely fall decor that set the mood for crisp autumn days, Halloween, and Thanksgiving.

Dressed-up Architecture

Use your custom home’s architectural details to feature autumnal-spirit. Here are a few great places to dress up your home with fall decor.

Fun with Pumpkins

It’s now October, and pumpkin carving is a tradition. From children carving under their parents’ supervision to the lifelong pumpkin carving enthusiast, carving offers a creative outlet for all skill-levels. We encourage the Gelotte Hommas Drivdahl team to develop their artistic gifts in every area of their lives, and it’s always fun to see what they create. Right now, we’re admiring one of our project manager’s pumpkin masterpieces.
