Fall Decor in the Middle of the Mess

Hi Friends, since this is my favorite time of the year, I'm going to try and share some small posts on Fall. It's a mild form of chaos over here at "Packing Central", but sharing here, and seeing what you all are doing for Fall decor will help me stay somewhat sane. 

I have a few pockets of clutter free space that are giving me a little room to scatter some Fall around the house. Last year I purchased the large wreath (below) from Grandinroad and gave it a mini-makeover. The wreath was wonderful, but I wanted to add in some dried hydrangeas, so I snipped a few leaves out and exchanged them with varying hues of faux Autumn Hydrangeas.

Then I added in my brown floral pillows on the wicker settee.

They bring all the colors of Fall together.

The moss covered pumpkin was another purchase from last year. They came as a group of three graduated sizes. It's sitting on an ironstone pedestal vegetable dish with a bed of leaves and Bittersweet.

I think black ticking goes well with just about any other print. 

...Plaid, Checks, Florals, and Paisley.

So, this is just a little spot in my Kitchen Sitting Area that I can enjoy while I'm sorting, organizing, and boxing up. I've found a few things that I'd forgotten about, and I'll share some of them soon.

Our heat wave is about to break, with a cool front and some thunderstorms on the way. It's been pretty rough trying to take things to storage when it's in the 90's. My husband is staying vigilant to move out what I pack. I'm working on several fronts at the same time. That may sound disorganized but it keeps me from getting overwhelmed. 

We close on the new house next week, and I'm really anxious to see it "naked". It's so hard to get an exact read on room sizes and what needs to be done when you're seeing someone elses furniture and personal items. The current owner has great style, but it's not easy to imagine my own things there. Also, I'll be using several of the rooms for completely different functions than what they are now.

I hope you don't mind little posts with snippets of what I've been up to. I'm just not the kind of blogger that can "disassociate" or compartmentalize my posts just because what I'm up to is a little messy. So, I may be sharing some of the mess.

Have a great weekend, everyone.

 I'm hoping you all get some cool air circulating in your area.

That makes playing with pumpkins and mums much more fun!
