Embracing Fall in the Garden Room

Hello Everyone, 

Welcome to the Embracing Fall Blog Hop!

Our good friend and Hop Hostess Amber, from Follow the Yellow Brick Home has gathered some of us together to celebrate our love of Fall. If you're coming from Christi's beautiful Fall Porch at Our Southern Home, so glad you're here and following this fun Hop. Of course I'm super excited to be participating in this Hop, because well... Fall is my absolute Favorite Time of Year! Thankyou Amber for putting together all this inspiration!

All About Home Link Party #9

Hi Everyone, and Welcome to All About Home!

I'm super excited that we're having a week of bona fide Fall weather here in SW Missouri. Today has been beautiful, with rain and cooler temps over the weekend. Fall decor is getting off the ground a little late this year since it's been so hot all across the US. I know we'll all feel more like celebrating Fall when it actually feels like it! Whether you're an Autumn devotee or not, we're glad you're here, we'd love to see what you've been up to.

Weekend Inspiration: Fall Door Baskets

Hi Friends, this week I'm sharing another Weekend Inspiration with you all since I've been working on Fall-ifying my front porch. I wanted to use my gray-wash door basket for Fall since I had been using a grapevine wreath during the Spring and Summer. It's time for something different on the door with a Fall touch.

Common Ground

The Fall Dining Room and Needlepoint Pumpkins

It's now October, but since the weather hasn't been very Fall-like, I'm still feeling the need for the "lighter version" of Fall Decor. When I was first adding Fall to the Dining Room I was going for Fall colors, but not anything dark and heavy. I don't want a bunch of that when it's 90 degrees outside. I started thinking about maybe using a vintage print on the buffet that had all the Fall feels, but still added some lighter color and a little "white".

All About Home Link Party #8

Welcome Friends, glad to have you here to party!

September has just sped by, and it's hard to believe it's the last day of the month. I always look forward to September since it's the beginning of all things Fall and usually the weather does at least a small cool down. But this year it's just been mostly hot and dry and really NOT at all like Fall. BUT there is hope for next week... low 70's and rain... YAY!!! 

No matter the weather, I think we've all realized it IS Fall now, 

and we're decorating and nesting no matter if it's 90 degrees or not! 

Wagons and Wheelbarrows for Fall

Hi Friends and Happy Weekend!

I've been working on my front porch today getting it ready for Fall, and I really really wanted to bring out one of the goat carts for display, but I have hesitations because we live on a street with lots of school traffic. I've had things disappear from front porches before, so I thought I'd share a couple of peeks of what I'm doing on the porch, then share some pics from some of my previous cart and wagon fall

 displays.

Fall Vignette on the Washstand

I have a favorite little corner in the Dining Room that's not easily seen from the rest of the house. It's only visible if you walk from the kitchen to the Dining Room, but it has some very sweet vintage pieces. The washstand with the marble top was in my childhood home, right inside our Entry at the old farmhouse. I've had it for the last almost 20 years, and finally painted it a few years ago to become the lovely little cabinet that it is today.

All About Home Link Party #7

Hi Friends, and welcome to the All About Home Link Party!
I know everyone is having fun getting their Fall On,

and this is the place to share all the goodness of what you've been doing this week

and get to see some wonderful inspiration that's out there in blogland.

Out and About with Sweet Magnolias Farm

I look forward to the Vintage Market Open Houses here in Springfield, Missouri and Ozark all year. Fall is by far my favorite, and this year there is a special destination that makes it all the more fun. Abbey and Sara from Sweet Magnolias Farm have opened a wonderful spot at my fave vintage market, The Vintage Peddler, here in town.

Old Pie Safe becomes the Holiday Cupboard

A few weeks ago when I did a post in the Garden Room I mentioned that I was hoping to clear out this old pie safe that was a "glorified" storage space, and decorate it for Fall. Well, I got myself busy and relocated a lot of the vintage pottery and pieces to a built-in cabinet in the Laundry/with a Bath Room. I'm glad I made the effort because it will be a fun place to decorate for the seasons.

All About Home Link Party #6

Hi Friends, so glad you're here!

I hope you're off to a good start with your week. I worked over the weekend to get started on the front porch Fall Refresh. My impatiens were still nice but a little overgrown, and I am ready to think mums and pumpkins. I think I hit about 6 places before I found pumpkins. Mums were out, but I ended up at Lowe's for some smaller plants for my long planters. All in all it felt good to get started even though the temps were in the low 90's!

Fall Sideboard and a few "Technical" Difficulties

This is one of those posts when I feel like starting out with a big "So..." which is always a telltale sign of frustration. This has been a few weeks of computer/blogging frustrations for me. We all use different computers and different software etc. I happen to like a desktop computer that has a big capability to house tons of photos and programs etc. But my tech skills are not particularly whippy. I freely admit it. I depend on my husband for his technical and computer expertise, so it's a PC not a Mac which I would be on my own with.

An Early Fall Entry

This space in the Entry has gone thru multiple renditions this last month. From late August to now in "almost" Mid September, my Frenchy console has had a few different looks. I thought I'd better share this current look from this week before it accidentally gets changed up once again.   

All About Home Link Party #5

Hi Friends, Hope you had a great weekend, and are ready to share all the fun you had last week on your blogs. I'm all about changing up the decor around here to Fall, how about you all? Ready for some great inspiration and creative ideas for your Home?

Early Fall Crate Tray

I've been waiting all year to start decorating the Garden Room for Fall. Since Fall is my favorite time of year (y'all probably know that) and most fun decor-wise for me, I like to start early and give it several different looks throughout the season. Since this is technically "Pre-Fall" I'm sprinkling around just a white pumpkin or two with some darker floral pillows and a teensy bit of orange.

Transitioning from Summer-to-Fall

Hi Friends, I've been a little all over the place as I've started to decorate for Fall around here. Maybe it's because I'm trying to locate florals, decor and vintage pieces that have been packed away. Maybe it's because I have more space to work with and I'm just disorganized! I've needed a focus to get started so this Blog Hop is helping me get my act together. Thankyou Amber for hosting this fun Hop for Early Fall. If you're coming from visiting Marty at A Stroll Thru Life Welcome, so glad you're here!
