About the Book
The October Home
The October Home is a journey through seven extraordinary houses, each one dressed in its autumn best. From saltboxes and farmhouses to candlelit keeping rooms and stone hearths, these tours capture the quiet beauty and handmade warmth of early American living in the harvest season.
Every home tells its own story — the patina of old pine floors, the glow of pewter under candlelight, the soft rustle of dried herbs and cornstalks. Through these richly photographed spaces, the book celebrates not only the art of primitive decorating, but the deeper meaning of creating a home that feels lived in, loved, and true to its time.
A few short reflections accompany the tours — moments to pause, breathe, and remember why we gather close as the days grow short. Together, they form a portrait of October at its most beautiful: a season of hearth, history, and belonging.
