Pumpkin & Spice & Everything Nice
There are two types of people in this world, right? The ones who really like their pumpkin spice lattes…..and the ones who really like their pumpkin spice lattes with extra nutmeg and whipped cream. No matter how you take your frothy taste of fall, you can place your order for a pumpkin spice latte at any one of the many coffee shops convenient to Collingwood Apartment Homes, whether you want to sit and relax and enjoy your steaming mug along with a croissant at The Nest Cafe or grab a scone to go from Starbucks at North Point Parkway on your way to work or class. Of course, on the sleepy Sunday mornings you don’t want to meet up with friends at Peach Coffee Roasters you might be more inclined to light your favorite pumpkin spice-scented candle and lounge on your couch or porch after enjoying some warm oatmeal flavored with a little something from Jordan’s Skinny Syrups Limited Edition Pumpkin Trio. As we’ve shared with you before, our resident lifestyle professionals, the Idea Specialists™, use Jordan’s Skinny Syrups for everything from comfy coffees to classic cocktails, with some baking in between. We really couldn’t make up our mind which one of this fall’s pumpkin offerings was our favorite! Back to candles: There are about a million places to buy them, right? Well, one always-reliable source is Bath & Body Works, and its Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin 3-Wick Candle made O: The Oprah Magazine’s list of Fall 2020 candles that smell “almost as good as fresh pie.” Depending on how much pumpkin spice lights up your life, you also could make the quick run down to the Sephora at North Point Mall and pick up the Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Warm & Spicy Eyeshadow Palette. And the Sephora Collection Mini Pumpkin Infused Brush Set. There are also about a million recipes for this pumpkin spice latte out there; if you don’t already have one you prefer, try the one from Delish (we’ve put the recipe at the end of this blog). Before we go any further down this yummy-smelling road, though, we probably ought to pause and ask ourselves: What, actually, is pumpkin spice? You may think you have a gourd idea, but you might not….. Ahem. Seriously, what is it in pumpkin spice, and what is it about it, that makes so many people crave bonfires and boots and sweaters and snuggles? Well, the basic recipe most often is a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Different blends might contain a little allspice and cardamom. Some chefs even add lemon peel. There is not a bit of pumpkin in it whatsoever. The elements alone, though, don’t work the special magic that has us buying everything from pumpkin spice protein smoothies (this is our favorite recipe right now!) and Kind bars to dog treats and tortilla chips. The ingredients also have to be heated together. That’s what creates the aroma compounds that get us—and food chemists—all excited. Taken to that next level, the “pumpkin” spice when we taste it is kind of caramelized, maybe a little bit burned, and evocative of wood fire. Get out your flannel shirts, we are going to that bonfire! And taking some chemists with us! Because, they’ve educated us: The scent is supposed to remind us of pumpkin pie—can’t you just smell grandma’s at the Thanksgiving table? It turns out, though, that the pie filling used by a lot of us, and our mothers and grandmothers, often is not made with pumpkin, either. Instead, inside those familiar cans we’re all used to seeing each fall is usually a sweet squash that is specially bred to be less watery and hard to chew than the pumpkins you might use to make a Jack-o-Lantern and decorate your porch. Combined, of course, with one of our favorite spice blends. Don’t take our word for it, check out the American Chemical Association’s Chemical & Engineering News website. Now, back to baking. If a busy schedule means you can’t take the time to make your own muffins, just pop over to Starbucks. (Pop over? Did we mean to do that? Maybe…..) Can’t you just taste their pumpkin cream cheese muffin? And their pumpkin bread? Which of course you will order along with that classic latte. And if you’re too busy even for Starbucks, just pour yourself up a mug of some Califia Farms Pumpkin Spice Latte Cold Brew straight from your own refrigerator; it’s available at Whole Foods Market on Old Milton Parkway Cheers! Thank you for letting Collingwood Apartment Homes have a little bit of fun with a beloved fall tradition. What’s your recipe using favorite pumpkin or pumpkin spice? What’s your favorite candle? Do you bring out your pumpkin-orange throw for your couch around this time every year? We’d love to hear from you with your fall fun ideas! Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe from Delish Ingredients 1 c. whole milk 2 tbsp. pumpkin purée 1 tbsp. maple syrup 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice, plus more for garnish 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract 1/4 c. hot espresso or coffee Whipped cream, for garnish Directions In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together milk, pumpkin, maple syrup, spice, and vanilla extract. Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is warmed, then blend mixture with an immersion blender until frothy. Pour hot espresso into a mug, then top with pumpkin-spice foamed milk. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice Need A Little Diversion? See how many words you are able to make out of the letters P U M P K I N S P I C E.

Alpharetta Shopping—What’s Not to Love?
Folks living in Collingwood Apartment’s in Alpharetta, Georgia love the convenience of having stylish malls, boutiques and shops within minutes of their home! And, did you know that Alpharetta has more than 250 shops within a five-mile radius where you can browse and buy? Relax, because the Idea Specialists© at Collingwood have compiled a few of their favorite places from Fashion, Furniture and Food for residents to indulge in and enjoy. You can’t go wrong at Moop’s Boutique where owner Carolyn Gordon has an outstanding reputation for knowing her clientele, providing great customer service and staying up to date on fashion trends. “This year’s Fall fashion trend is leopard and cheetah prints, along with all things camo,” she declares. “Also, this year’s fall color is yellow.” Stop in and get styled to the nines at the shop’s downtown Alpharetta address on 58 Canton St #102. Another fab shop just 3.4 miles from Collingwood is Magnolia Moon Modern Outfitters on 245 Market Street across from the Town Green. We love this shop because it’s filled with the latest—blending contemporary women’s apparel with professional “day-to-night” pieces, special occasion dresses, cozy basics, and unique accessories. The boutique also offers women’s sizes, shoes (check out these fun booties we found), plus unique home and gift items. And don’t worry gentlemen, we have you covered with a local recommendation as well. Try Clothes Horse Men’s Apparel, a local retailer found at 28 Milton Ave in Alpharetta. Owners Charleen and John Thompson feel that their store is “a way to of manifest southern hospitality while providing classic, comfortable apparel and accessories to North Atlanta.” You’ll find a great inventory of collections including Best Sellers, Adventurist and our favorite Coastal Prep. Of course, in addition to filling your wardrobe this fall, you may be like us and need furniture for your awesome spacious luxury apartment here at Collingwood. One place we love is Queen of Hearts, an antique mall in Alpharetta located at 670 North Main Street. Currently celebrating it’s 21st year, the retailer hosts more than 200 dealers who offer a wide variety of items for sale, among them interior décor such as Mid-Century Modern furniture, home decor, art, rugs, painted and repurposed furniture. Best of all, Queen of Hearts offers free Design Team Tuesday consultations with Shana Gonzales (BLEU), Melissa Dale (STORY), and Cherilyn Allen (TFP). For those who prefer the latest in furniture styles, check out West Elm in Avalon. The ultra-hip shop presents modern design with an eye toward sustainability. According to its website, West Elm’s team designs 90% of products in–house, allowing the retailer to offer a wide selection of organic, handcrafted, sustainably sourced and Fair Trade Certified™ products. We love this Jensen Round Dining table, perfect for the dining area in Collingwood’s spacious floorplans. One final furniture boutique we love to shop and browse is Belso Home Studio, just four miles from Collingwood and featuring a wide variety of sectionals, sofas and chairs, ottomans and poufs, along with accessories, lighting, and a custom handcrafted upholstery line. The boutique is committed to locally made and hand-crafted goods including tables made in Georgia, and hand poured candles to name a few. Stop in to see (and sniff) at their downtown Alpharetta on 30 North Main Street. So, once you’ve shopped and acquired your heart’s desire, be sure to bring your treasure back to an apartment home you love at our spacious Collingwood Apartment’s just minutes away from convenient shopping and fine dining, yet nestled in 32 acres of beautiful landscaping and natural wooded areas. The best of both worlds awaits you at Collingwood. Call or come by today and let us show you why Collingwood should be your special place to live.
Embrace Fall 2020 with an Outdoor Décor Re-do at Collingwood Apartments – Alpharetta Georgia
With Labor Day quickly approaching, but social distancing still a priority, a weekend staycation may be just what the doctor ordered. Instead of spending money on traveling and hotels, why not upgrade your EQ — Entertainment Quotient, that is—by embracing fall with an outdoor décor re-do, setting the stage for when you do feel safe enough to entertain. Collingwood Apartments is known for its spacious apartment homes — and it is also recognized for its outdoor living spaces, lake, walking trails and wildlife. Sunrooms, porches, and balcony’s offer a way to extend our living options by creating a place we can sit – enjoy the seasonal changes and appreciate nature. Whether your outdoor space is a sunroom, porch, or balcony, the decorating options are endlessly fun! One of our favorite inspirational go-to’s for home décor is Real Simple Magazine. You can always count on their designers to present timely trends each season. Here is a recent article we think you will enjoy, on ultimate outdoor entertainment. It states what many of us are still thinking, and that is that indoor entertaining is still off-limits for the foreseeable future. We asked our own resident lifestyle professionals, the Idea Specialists™, their thoughts on how to make the most impact with outdoor entertaining and décor, and what tips they might offer that would be fun leading into Labor Day weekend. Here’s a few of their suggestions: Whether you have a sunroom, porch, or balcony, one of the easiest, most impactful ways to gradually lean into fall is with plants and color. Leave your existing plants in place and integrate fall colors of pumpkin, (traditional orange or the newer sage green) mustard, and cinnamon into the backdrop for a pop of seasonal color. Create a focal point. Since we love pumpkins we found this at Ballard Designs. Perfect for the season — combining a fairytale pumpkin, a wreath of seasonal greenery, and a pedestal flower pot. VIOLA! But also, don’t be afraid to be creative and frugal — repurpose a vessel you already have and create your own. Forage for greenery or purchase it someplace fabulous and nearby Collingwood, like Jade Trees Garden. (Be still my heart.) This type of treatment would also be a welcoming addition to your front door-area decorating, as a centerpiece for a dining room table, or on a coffee table. Light up the night! Lighting is magical, isn’t it? It can make or break a room. We love vintage festival or Edison lights for indoor or outdoor lighting. Love early mornings in the fall? Are you a coffer drinker? Turn that potting bench into a cute seasonal coffee station and enjoy that morning cup of Joe on your porch. Treat yourself to special handcrafted coffee mugs from Andrea Hill Pottery – Etsy and Jordan’s Skinny Mix Syrups in an assortment of flavors like salted caramel, pumpkin spice or Cinnamon Dolce. YUM! If coffee isn’t your thing—flip to evening cocktails with a twist of fall. Look at this amazing Pumpkin Spice White Russian recipe, also from Skinny Mixes. One of the easiest ways to cozy up a sunroom is to use casual throws in a variety of colors. They can range in price from $25-$30 or, well — the sky is the limit. We love this one from Crate & Barrell. But if you’re on a budget – you may prefer a lower price point packed with style — like this one we found at Birch Lane for $34 — we like the fringe. Want to celebrate your new décor? Have a party – virtual of course! Add Invitations – receiving an invitation, whether paper or digital, is always fun. Choose a fun fall theme and create your party! We love Paperless Post (which isn’t just paperless anymore!) And be sure and check out their options for hosting a “virtual party”. You’ll be glad you did! Send us your tips and techniques on decorating! We’d love to see your outdoor décor redo!

Tips for Creating Your Perfect Home Office @Collingwood Apartment Homes
Now, more than ever in recent history, people all over the world are working from home. Even as businesses begin to reopen here in Alpharetta, Georgia, many folks continue to do their work from home instead of heading back to the office. CNN’s Work Transformed discusses the transitions required to facilitate a remote workforce. While working from bed or the couch may seem tempting, it blurs the mental lines between business and leisure. This is why it’s so important to create an exclusive space within the home where productivity will flow. The Idea Specialists at Collingwood Apartment Homes have some tips to share with anyone looking to set up or improve a home office. Whether you can devote an entire room or merely a portion, we’re certain you’ll find some useful ideas to apply to your workspace. We recommend you begin by measuring the area you intend to use so that you know exactly how much furniture it will accommodate. Collingwood Luxury Apartment Homes are available in seven different floor plans to meet your needs. Choose a desk or table that fits the space while still giving plenty of room to spread out paperwork. The UPLIFT V2 Standing Desk features a wide variety of desktop finishes to coordinate with your home office furniture. Position the desk near a window rather than in a dark corner to maximize natural light. This, along with lamps for task lighting, will help to reduce eye fatigue. The Anglepoise Original 1227 Desk Lamp from Perigold is fully adjustable and clamps securely to your work surface. A comfortable chair will assist in keeping you happy and productive during your workday. The Three Posts Eckard Task Chair from Wayfair has high ratings and positive reviews. If space allows, an armchair in your home office adds a great place to sit while reading through documents or brainstorming creative ideas. It may also make a handsome backdrop for video conferences if you don’t necessarily need to be at your desk. Just be sure your background doesn’t look too distracting and your face is well lit for a professional appearance. And don’t forget about storage! You’re likely to have various supplies and documents that will need a home somewhere. It’s best to keep them all nearby to avoid wandering into other rooms and losing focus. Use shelves large enough to accommodate all of your materials. It’s hard to find what you’re looking for when everything is crammed into a tight space. Hanging clipboards or bulletin boards on the walls can be the perfect way to always find the documents you need. It’s also the perfect place to display images and quotes that keep you feeling inspired. Uplifting décor is another way to stay inspired and interested by stimulating your senses. Add life to your home office with plants (real or fake), a candle, an aromatherapy diffuser, or a tabletop fountain. You may find it helpful to play some soft instrumental music or natural sound effects, such as ocean waves. Noise-canceling headphones could be just what you’re looking for if distractions are a problem. We suggest a “do not disturb” sign if there are others in the home. A common self-made distraction is clutter. So go easy on the amount of personal items in your work area. Place them on shelves or walls and reserve your desktop only for work. It’s a good idea to declutter regularly, perhaps at the end of the workday or workweek. A shredder under your desk will prevent papers from piling up as they wait to be discarded. Corral cords for tidiness and efficiency. A power strip with surge protection is recommended for sensitive equipment. If you find some equipment unsightly, such as a printer, hide it in a cabinet. Marie Kondo has much wisdom to share on the art of living joyfully by tidying your space. She even has a line of office supplies! Finally, you’ll likely need a calendar to keep track of deadlines, meetings, and scheduling tasks. Whether your home office is temporary or long-term, we hope these tips will help you to transform your space and streamline your business. The Collingwood team wishes you well in all your endeavors as you live life fully!
