Movie Night at Home: Fall Edition

Movie Night at Home

Fall Edition

WARNING: You’ll want to watch all the Fall movies after reading this!

After a long day of Realtor-ing, nothing beats coming home, getting cozy, and watching movies under your coziest blanket. On these movie nights, I always have a pumpkin infused snack and bottle of Pinot Noir on hand!

I wanted to share all the cozy vibes with my homebodies out there so I put together 3 “Fall Rooms” to watch movies in which include a movie pick, candle scent, snack & beverage! Which room are you choosing?

Room #1: Rustic and cozy

“There’s a little witch in all of us.”

Outdoor movie for 2 – Wear your coziest socks and pjs! In this room, I would turn on Practical Magic, light my Witches Brew candle from Yankee Candle, drink a homemade “Midnight Margarita”, and munch on chocolate cake from Trader Joe’s.

Room #2: Fall Farmhouse Romance

Pairs well with your significant other. Lights off, fireplace on! In this room I would press play on You’ve Got Mail, light my Sweet Water Decor, Farmhouse scented candle and shake up a caramel apple martini. For our snack, I’d start with a cheese board followed by chocolate drizzled caramel corn! Don’t forget extra blankets!

Room #3: Not so Haunted, Hotel

I love a room that has hotel vibes. I want to feel like I’m at a 5 Star resort at all times so give me a room with the boujee-ist candle scents (Diptyque is a top favorite but for a Fall infusion I’d light Pumpkin Clove from Anthropologie), curl up on the coziest leather couch from Pottery Barn (paired with their faux fur blanket). I’d pour a big glass of juicy Cab and snack on freshly popped popcorn drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt (dark chocolate truffles on the side). For the movie, this is where the “haunted” comes in! I’d turn on my favorite spooky flick, Strangers followed by a full season of Gilmore Girls before bed so I don’t have nightmares!

If you can’t decide, the good news is you can have them all! Now that your weekend plans for October are established, looks like I’ll see you next month!

Cheers!
Maggie

Spring market is here… and if you’ve been even thinking about buying a home, you’ve probably felt it. 🌸 More homes are hitting the market, everything feels a little more alive, and buyers start coming out of the woodwork. It’s an exciting time, but it can also move fast. Like… “that house just listed and already has multiple offers” fast. The good news? A little prep on the front end (especially with financing) can make the entire process feel so much more manageable. Start with financing before you fall in love with a house I know...it’s way more fun to scroll listings and pop into open houses. But one of the best things you can do is connect with a lender before you start seriously touring. This helps you: Understand what price range actually feels comfortable Get a realistic idea of your monthly payment (not just the purchase price) See what loan options make the most sense for you It doesn’t lock you into anything, it just gives you clarity. And in a fast-moving market, clarity = confidence.
