MGD Picks: October

Picks
October 1, 2021

The beginning of the month is always one of our favorite times, and that’s especially true as we head into the fall and winter months! October to us is about the changing of seasons and embracing cooler temperatures (as much as we can here in Southern California)! For this round of October must-haves, we were inspired by moodier hues, warm cozy neutrals, and just pieces that get us excited for the month ahead. If you’re ready to treat yourself or your home to something new, or even if you’re getting a head start on shopping for holiday gifts, keep scrolling! We hope you find a thing or two that you love.

At home, we’re loving greywash hues and pretty curves on architectural pieces like this three-drawer nightstand. We’ve also been using nesting tables more often, and think they’re perfect for small spaces where you don’t have space for a large table but want surface area available when you need it. Fall is also the perfect time to add a new pillow or cozy throw blanket to your living room – Layers, layers, layers!

For fall fashion this year, we see ourselves layering this cashmere-blend cardigan over long dresses, and pairing sneakers with everything. If sneakers aren’t your thing, the perfect leather loafer truly goes with everything. Psst… If you missed our fall fashion roundup under $100, head there to shop more of our current faves!

Thanks so much for following along with this month’s MGD Picks! What are your October must-haves? Let us know in the comments! For more of our current favorites, head to the Picks section of our blog or to our affiliate shop where you can search by project and category. Until next time!

The kitchen that naturally became the heart of the The kitchen that naturally became the heart of the home. At #mgdxpaseoclemente, this space was designed for the rhythm of everyday life - morning breakfasts, after-school snacks, and evenings when friends gather around the island and stay a little longer than planned. Layered materials, warm finishes, and a palette that plays with contrast give the room depth while still feeling welcoming and relaxed. See more of the kitchen and pantry on Substack! #mindygayerdesign { Image by: @vlentine, Architect: @brandonarchitects, Builder: @sayerandsons }
Returning home to California after a work and fun- Returning home to California after a work and fun-filled week in Tennessee. Our TN-based design team has been pouring their hearts into our #mgdxwesthaven project over the past two years, and she is truly so, so beautiful! Sharing a few peeks at many of the special rooms in this bespoke home that is rooted in both tradition and southern charm. We’ll be photographing this beauty later in the spring and can’t wait to share more 🤍  #mindygayerdesign
