Beautiful Burgundy: The Color I'm Leaning Into This Fall

Burgundy is one of the prettiest colors to bring home this fall — and it carries you right through the holidays. Here's where I'd add it, from a single lamp to a whole color-drenched room.

A good Dutch oven is the heart of it, and the Hearth & Hand enameled one is the piece I'd choose. It's heavy and creamy and genuinely beautiful, with the kind of even, steady heat that gives a loaf that deep, crackly, bakery-style crust. It's a workhorse that happens to be lovely to look at.

Inside the Studio

Sometimes it's a project mid-renovation — the paint we landed on, the lamp that earned its place, the decision I'd make again. Other times it's a long Sunday at the table, a paint color that stayed with me from somewhere else, or a few finds I keep going back to. Always written like I'd tell a friend about the work, never like a marketing email.

You're on the list. The first note from the studio is on its way — and if it ends up in promotions or spam, drag it over so the next one finds its way.
