Fall Touches Around My Home

RefreshHer16 Comments

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).

My sweet husband brought me yellow roses this week “to go along with my fall decor.” Love him!

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!

Touches of Fall Decor

Call it age, call it lazy, but I’m changing my game this year with my fall decor.  Instead of spreading fall leaves, pumpkins and corn stalks everywhere (well I never have spread corn stalks everywhere,  but for the sake of making my point I’ll add them!), I’m choosing to make a few groupings.

Here’s a peek ~

The living room touches:

A little touch in the kitchen.  Remember my Dollar Tree box I made using the two signs?

I set the dining room table in fall decor for a luncheon I had a few weeks ago ~

I love the turquoise and gold together on the table!

Look how it sets off the food so beautifully…

Then outside at my mailbox ~

This mum came back from last year.  It’s a whopper, isn’t it?  I’m loving it! It’s going to be stunning in a few days! I may add some real pumpkins in a week or so, but for now I think the flowers speak for themselves!

I had the blessing of being in upstate New York last weekend where the colors were just beginning to turn.  It made me excited for fall to come to the south!

I’m still changing what you see here.  Simplicity is what I’m longing for and maybe you saw a book here that is inspiring me in that direction?  I’ll keep you posted on how that turns out!

Do you decorate your home for fall?  If so, do you go all out or do you add only a few touches?

Fall Decor 2018 – Living Areas

RefreshHer9 Comments

Being a lover of summer, I waited until the first day of fall before I pulled out my fall decorations.  Now that it’s all out, I’m smiling at those cooler breezes and autumn skies.  There is definitely something truly cozy about fall and its decor.

Low lights and twisty branches…

Twinkly lights and warm hues…

Pumpkins of all sorts – fabric and ceramic.  An old mason jar with a battery operated votive inside adds a little whimsy and shine to the tabletop.

My desk area got a new chalkboard design.  I found a drawing that I liked, then I made it my own…

I added my list of books I love to the binding of the books.

My kitchen chalkboard is my favorite.  I found this idea on Pinterest and then drew it in my colors and added the leaves.

Next time I’ll share my front entry way and the outside decor!

Have you decorated for fall?  If not, I hope you’ve found a little inspiration here!

Fall Porch Tour

RefreshHer5 Comments

One of the things that I love about our house is the fact that we have two porches!  They both have seating and a view, too, making it a great place to rest!

Keeping the porches clean and decorated is fun because that means I get to be out there enjoying the countryside beauty and the quiet.  I have been adding fall touches to my porches and this week I finally got some pictures taken.  Now you can see it too!  Ready?

The before picture of the patio table is found here.  I’ll probably wrap the table up and put it in the garage once winter arrives.  Until then, we’ll enjoy hot cups of coffee and cozy nights out there!

Have you decorated your porch for fall?  What do you add?

From my country porch,
