Fall Decor

The weather dipped below 60 degrees here so you know what that means--time to decorate for Fall!!  Now a few years ago that meant climbing up into the attic, pulling down 8 or 9 boxes filled to the brim with pumpkins, leaves and what-not.  But I have embraced the less-is-more approach to my Autumn decorating.  Gone are the days where my home looks like Hobby Lobby or Michaels threw up in it.



Last year I spray painted my ceramic pumpkins in Heirloom White.  I now have them sitting on a silver tray with stacked old books and a birds nest I bought at Z Gallerie last year.  The beaded garland is from Michaels.





My man-head (I need to name him) got an adornment of leaves.  My family says he now looks like Caesar.  


I love having fresh flowers on the coffee table and this Kalanchoe plant offers the perfect pop of orange.





My $1 garage sale owl got a coat of white spray paint.  





Adding texture and warmth with baskets.






Im still playing around with what I want to do for the dining room table.  I know I want to incorporate pears- so Im still playing around with it.





And on another note- look what I got in the mail today!  Are these not the yummiest fabrics ever!!






Anyone else started decorating for Fall?

  1. Gorgeous decor and those fabrics are certainly yummy! Can't wait to see what you do with them! As soon as I am working less than 12 hours a day, I will get started on fall decorating at my house! Can't wait!

  3. I played volleyball at the beach yesterday and it's been it the 90's here in San Diego. I'm not ready for fall yet. I guess the rest of the country was hit hard with unrelenting heat so the cooler weather is probably a relief for you. I love your fall decor and the fabrics are so PERFECT! I'm looking forward to seeing how you fit them all together. I love your style!

  10. Delicious ideas Amanda. I laughed at man-head...yes, he needs a name and he does look like J. Caesar! I love those branches in the glass vase, what are they? I borrowed that picture and have featured it in a recent post on fall decor. Thanks so much.
