Love it or Leave it

As cliché as it may sound, I love watching the leaves fall once autumn hits.

Obviously fall is synonymous with the changing leaves—bright reds, burnt oranges—but I can’t help but romanticize the moment that those beautiful leaves can’t hold onto their branches any longer and fall to the ground. So I felt like there was no better time than now to start waxing poetic about this lovely occurrence, mostly because as soon as they do indeed tumble to

the ground, I’m going to officially be grumpy because raking leaves is a pain in the ass. So before my crotchety tendencies set in, please allow me to revel in my picturesque vision of descending foliage. A perfect way to bring the majestic arbors indoors?

These stump stools created by Kieran Kinsella were formed from fallen trees around his studio and would make a great autumnal addition to your abode.
