14 Ways to embrace the shorter days of autumn

​Autumn is by far my favorite season. 

It's something that I treasure every year although at the same time it's signaling the end of all the glory of the long, easy summer days.

​How do you celebrate autumn?

I mean truly embrace it?  Not the "holidays" but the season.

We know that it's obvious to talk about pumpkins, and pumpkin spice, and then before you know it holiday decorations... BUT there is so much more you can do to truly connect with this cooler season with it's soft, low light and briskly shorter days. 

It's a time to celebrate beyond the standard holiday themes and hype.  In fact, I would honestly say that my deepest desire is to escape much of the commercial and cultural pressure and demands that are almost impossible to escape once Labor Day hits.  ​

We've compiled a list of wonderful ideas on how do just that...

Books and publications we love

One of our goals here at The Whiskey Porch is to provide well curated, high-quality resources to help you on your journey to creating a smaller & simpler life in your Nordic bungalow.

This is my first collection in which I'm going to share some of my all-time favorites, and my focus will be books and publications here. 
​
  • None of these resources represent exactly my take on a small bungalow lifestyle or design, but they reflect the basics and core inspiration to get us there.
​
  • In fact, some of these listings feature some particularly spectacular, huge, over-the-top homes.  Not what I would call a smaller & simpler lifestyle, but never-the-less it's a wonderful idea generator.

Let's get started:


publications for inspiration
​

american bungalow magazine
American Bungalow Magazine
www.americanbungalow.com

This is an extremely high quality periodical with a subscription offering (4 publications/year) and the opportunity to purchase back issues individually. 

It's a great source for learning about the ins and outs of this architectural style and it's history.  The articles are all very well written, and  in-depth.  The photography is spectacular ​
and the featured properties are truly inspiring.

It is definitely oriented around the purest concept of the original bungalows, but sometimes features newer builds or remodels with a more modern aesthetic twist.
