Decked out for autumn

Hello again,

I am so happy you stopped by. Let's enjoy the fall day.

Today, I would like to share with you how I added a touch of fall in my living area.  

Pumpkins are the first thing that came to mind why thinking about fall.

Have you noticed there are so many styles to choose from?

Purple
Orange
White 
Green

and so many

shapes

Not to mention

styles again

How does one decide?

Nothing says fall like a few pumpkins. I chose mini orange pumpkins, layered a white glass tray with my mini pumpkins and added a green moss ball.  My inspiration is my trunk.

I knew I wanted to use my recent thrift store find...my grey throw. 
I'm obsessed with shades of of grey and white.

  Just a little grey fall like inspiration!

 Ready to see how it's styled ?




Check out my trunk.
I waited for the second markdown.
  Guess I am a risk taker,
 and this time it worked.
  I still  can't  believe 
it.


I never get tired of talking
 about this trunk.  Love, love, love! 
Can't  you see why?



A storage  unit
A coffee table


Great throw for these fall nites.


Perfect size for  my clock table.  







Ok, grey pumpkins?
 Remember, I love grey.


It was so easy to style this space.
It looks like fall to me.

Gathering table




Hello

C'mon in and have a seat at the gathering table.  Pull your seat closer and take a view of my table all dressed and ready for fall.  You may rest your elbows on the table today.  Remember, today only.

My inspiration started with my animal print table runner.  It's a 60 inch piece of cloth folded twice to get the look.  Isn't it just gorgeous?


Hope you wont mind if the pics do the talking as they spell FALL.

 It's time for a closer view.




shades of brown, rustic = FALL 



tree branches = FALL

candle holders and candles = FALL
 


twigs = FALL




leaves, leaves and more leaves = FALL  






  


wreaths = FALL










 




This is fall at the Houz.

Thanks for stopping by.

Fall mantle

Good Morning!

I welcome y'all and fall with open arms.
What an awesome season!
Not too cold
Not too hot
It's just perfect temps.

Fall inspiration is everywhere...


It's
in the air
red, yellow orange, brown colors

 and

colorful leaves 
 leaves crunching under our feet

It's  the

cool breeze
shorter days/longer nights
a blanket 

and O my

fresh apple pies
beautiful  mums
cozy clothing

and
 right here,
my fall

fireplace mantle















I wish you much happiness as we begin 
another season of our life.
Sit back, relax and continue to count your blessings.

Perfect for fall

Hello friends
and
Hello September

Writing this as I look forward  to waving goodbye to summer.  So here I am today, ushering fall in a few weeks earlier with touches of fall decor.

I don't  recall as a child seeing a lot of fall decoration. 

My side table is the perfect place to showcase a fall table setting.  

To get the green look that I had in mind for the fall,  I chose to accessorize with green apples. 
I'm  loving this fall style with shades of orange.




Crystal candle holders are a fav of mine.
  To be honest, I love decorating with candlesticks whether 
they are crystal, brass, silver or gold.  


Perfect for fall


I couldn't  resist these leaves I 
purchased several years ago.

What is fall without a pumpkin.


What I love about fall is the
 weather
 and colors of leaves.

Hope you were inspired by my fall touches.
and
that's it Houz friends.

Susan
