Rather than inundating my rooms with pumpkins and fall foliage, I’m only adding a few touches of fall around my home right now. I’m really trying to just pick out of my own resources things that are fall colors, textures and fragrances. I love the Yankee candle pictured above. It’s Sweet Maple Chai and smells just like fall.
The candle sits on my kitchen counter and beside it is my tiered stand. I keep a salt pillar in there for my cooking. I chose my orange Fiesta ware cup, to add another touch of fall and it sits beside a tiny ceramic pumpkin. This is an example of using my daily dishes and accents that just happen to be the right color!
I love this mint plant because it looks so realistic. The green against the colors of the orange cup and pumpkin are perfect for this time of year since there’s plenty of green still in our yards.
Of course my chalkboards are some of my favorite ways to “decorate” for any season!
The bike drawing below was done for summer,e but I loved it so much that I decided to just change out the colors of the flowers in the basket and add some fall leaves all around.
My mantle has a branch of bittersweet and a little pumpkin. The taper candles’ jewel tone also speaks of autumn.
Fall wreaths welcome our guests and also the family who come in through the garage door (in the next photo).
I’ll still be adding a little more in the way of throws and pillows, but that’s about it! Simplicity is the name of my game this year! I’m holding out for Christmas, which is just around the corner!
Refresh your fall decor with colors and textures,

The Cozy Minimalist’s book is what is really inspiring my simplicity. I wonder if I can do this at Christmas?! 🤔

That is the very same book that inspired me as well! In fact, I’m pretty sure I first heard about the book from your blog. I would very much like to scale back on Christmas decor, but each year when I try, my kids miss something that they consider a tradition to have out. And so since it’s their home too, I end up putting it all back out again. 😁

I am right there with you in keeping those traditional Christmas items on display for the family that treasures them! I think most of our “tradition loves” come from the seasonal foods, so I think I’m safe! Ha! But I do really need to let go of some things that are stored away and not used anymore!
