Welcome to the Fall Front Porch

Hi friends, Happy October! It's taken me awhile to get the porch decorated this season because it's been so warm around here and the yard has been a mess because of the drought we're in. No sense drawing attention to the porch when the yard looks atrocious. Although...  we have a long school pick-up line each afternoon at 3:30 on the street in front and I sort of feel an obligation to have something nice for them to look at. Nothing like a line of 40 cars coming by critiquing your outdoor décor each afternoon!

The Cookbook Cupboard and a Paper Pumpkin Garland

This old cupboard is a fun spot for kitchen related vintage items along with my cookbooks and cookie jars. My scroll-y chalkboard is a constant background on this piece as it causes whatever is in front to literally pop. Fall is always a favorite season to decorate this spot, which was inspired by my kitchen china cabinet top in our last house.

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)
