Welcome to some scenes from our cozy fall kitchen! My daughter Courtney and I recently styled our kitchen for a brand video we made for a partnership on Instagram, so we thought it would be fun to take some photos to share with you here!

It’s always a special day when we get to bake (and eat!) a cake together and make coffee, too.

What a cozy way to officially welcome fall to our kitchen!

In this post I will share:

• a few photos from our fall baking day (scroll to see the photos below)!
• the recipe for the tasty cake we made (scroll down to find the recipe link)
• links to my Amazon storefront, favorite deals and home decor from the Amazon Prime Day sale (happening now!)
• sources for the dishes, gift ideas and accessories from the brand partnership featured in these photos are all here in my LTK (you don’t need the app, but you can get it so you’ll be notified when I post new sources there).

How to shop my favorites on the Amazon Prime sale:

Start at The Inspired Room Amazon Storefront (amazon.com/shop/theinspiredroomshop) so you can find all of my Amazon home favorites as well as the deals I find throughout the sale. You’ll find all of my curated Amazon folders organized by subject, so you can scroll through those to shop Amazon for my favorites at your leisure.

I also have a dedicated “Prime Big Deal Days folder” — I will keep that folder updated as I find more good deals. You will want to save that link so you can return to it throughout the sale.

Hope you enjoy the apple cider cake recipe and my cozy fall kitchen photos!

If you’d like to save any of my images or ideas for inspiration, please pin them directly from this post and credit The Inspired Room— this helps others find their way here, too! I appreciate it so much.

This is the recipe we used for the apple cider donut bundt cake. Such a fun treat!

You can substitute regular flour for this one if you want to make it gluten free!

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale event (or, as we like to call it, Fall Prime Day) begins today! There are more deals than you could ever begin to look through on your own…so that’s where we come in.

Prime Day can be *confusing* — we’re using our extensive shopping knowledge and tracking price history to give you the most accurate pricing information and vetted discounts/original prices. FYI, some of the “regular” prices listed on the sides of some listings are true original prices, some (when the best deals are Prime-exclusive) are lesser discounts that non-Prime members can take advantage of. We’ll let you know everything you need to know! 

FYI — deals move *fast*. We’ll do our best to keep this post and imagery as up-to-date as possible, but we can’t catch everything immediately. Check back throughout the day to see our latest updates as the deals change!

Note: To get the best prices on some of these deals you have to be a Prime member, so if you aren’t already, sign up for a free 30 day trial here.

Amazon Big Deal Days has thousands of discounts on travel essentials. And while the online store is always a goldmine for unbelievable deals, none are greater than the exclusive sales set aside just for Prime members. 

Whether you’re looking for sleek luggage sets, a new comfy travel sweatshirt, or genius travel accessories, Prime members can take up to 71 percent off items before October Prime Day officially kicks off on October 7 (through midnight October 8). Below, find 60 must-have travel deals, including finds from Contigo, Delsey Paris, and more, for as little as $10.
