Creating an Autumn Cloche

Happy First Day of Fall!

My last post I shared the Dining Room with a mini Home Tour; if you haven't seen that post you can catch it HERE. I focused on the Dining Room table with a large urn with fall natural elements, but I also shared the buffet with several cloches dressed up for Fall. So today I thought I'd focus on the grouping of cloches that celebrate fall and a few others that in the past I've put together for the Autumn Season. 

Autumn Home Tour

In the Entry and Dining Room

Hello dear friends, September is speeding by and we're now headlong into the Autumn season. Even though the long awaited fall weather seems to be dragging it's feet for most of us, our indoor spaces are reflecting the harvest colors and décor that are a yearly hallmark for our love for Fall.

Time for Fall in the Holiday Cupboard

We've had a few cooler days and nights and it's really got me going for fall. I know it will warm up again and maybe have a few 80's until the end of October, but it's so wonderful to know that fall is truly on it's way.

Welcome to Fall: The Kitchen Niche

As you all probably know, I have this smallish niche in the kitchen that we inherited from the previous owner's kitchen renovation. It housed their big screen tv and a sound system, but didn't fit our needs. Trying to match cabinets was vetoed, so I have used it for a display area for seasonal décor.

Fall Backyard Naturals for a Vintage Tote

No matter the season or weather, our multitude of trees seem to find various ways to litter sticks and tree debris. Right now it's acorn leaf clusters, walnuts and hickory nuts. We try to keep on top of it by getting out weekly and doing some yard clean up. My husband does most of the work, but hey, I'm there to cheer him on. Most of the yard junk heads to the yard waste disposal, but I can quickly get waylaid if I take time to look for interesting natural specimens. Taking a break I grabbed one of my chippy white vintage totes and put together a fun seasonal gathering of natural organic elements. (okay maybe a few faux pieces hopped in for more great color)

How to Use Pears for a Seasonal Transition to Fall

By mid-August, I'm always ready to start making small changes that lean toward fall. When I was younger I'd tackle it all in a day or a weekend, but now I have to do it in stages. One day it was summer; the next day it was totally fall. But actually I really prefer the small changes that come throughout the late summer, day by day. The changes of the light, the outdoor temps, nature's color in foliage, grasses and sky. It's all beautiful and I love to replicate it all indoors.

5 Quick and Easy Ideas to Get You in the Mood for Fall

I know so many of us want to ease into the Fall season, but it's too hot in August and early September to get much in the mood. As much as I love fall, digging into tubs and boxes in hot storage areas, dragging out a bunch of faux pumpkins, and slathering on the fake leaf garlands just isn't appealing when you're breaking out in a sweat. I'd much rather take an approach that's gradual and less stressful.
