Editor’s Note: No Place Like Home in the Fall

Fall is an ideal time to cozy your nest as you decorate and prepare for the holidays. With October’s promise of great weather, the city will be packed with festivals, seasonal events and fundraisers. And there’s nothing like coming home to a house that feels like a warm hug after a long day.

This month we’re featuring the beautiful family home of local designer Boo Randle. Writer Amy Gabriel captured the spirit of the place in words, and you’ll find tons of inspiration, from the gorgeous color palate throughout to layered textural elements and a closet that dreams are made of.

It’s also a season that can be difficult for many. Anyone suffering a loss can experience that pain and burden tenfold during this time. For this reason, we’ve included a feature on grief with tips from local experts on how to cope and information on support systems available for those who may need them.

Our Arts Calendar is full of exciting cultural events happening this month (prepare for the Taylor takeover). Sue Strachan is celebrating spooky season with ghostly galivants, haunted tours and seasonal
festivals in our monthly Around Town column.

These pages are also filled with locals making a difference fighting for change within our community. If you represent a nonprofit organization that should be featured, please reach out via our website.

We hope you find comfort and inspiration in this issue. Happy Fall!
