Welcome to Fall Nesting Week

by Melissa @ The Inspired Room

Fall nesting is seriously underway at my house. I didn’t think I was necessarily in the “nesting mood” quite yet, but things were getting a little out of hand around my house after the wedding and busy summer. Once I got myself going, I really felt inspired to settle back into my fall routine.

Sometime Tuesday we will kick off the Fall Nesting Week festivities, but I wanted to get our favorite Mr. Linky up and ready for those of you who are ready to go! You can link up any post from your blog this week to show us how you are getting ready for fall, nesting, or general cleaning & organizing for the upcoming season. And you Aussies can play along too, nesting is not limited to Fall! Or, show us last Fall’s activities if you’d like!

› Need some inspiration in a hurry?

Not to worry. These should inspire you:

› Not ready for Fall decorating but need inspiration to nest? No problem!

Maybe you just need some inspiration on organization, simplicity or cleaning to jump start your Fall Nesting? Have no fear, I’ve got some links for you to some of my favorites:

spring cleaning

Ok, now its YOUR turn! Get NESTING and while you are at it, share it with the rest of us! Leave a comment to let us know what you are up to and link a post up to Mr. Linky! Then come back all week to find new inspiration! I’ll be posting articles, tips, links, photos and whatever I find to help motivate & inspire us to get the new season started! Including MORE reader ideas! Plus, we’ll be joining up with Blissfully Domestic to celebrate the big relaunch of the magazine with an amazon.com gift card giveaway from me to you. Details to come! Now, get nesting!

READY, SET, NEST!

Mr. Linky instructions: Please, link to a specific Fall Nesting Post. No general links to your blog or unrelated topics, please. Please put a link back from your nesting post to this post so your friends can be a part of this too. Feel free to add several links to different fall nesting posts throughout the week, and return to see all the amazing nesting ideas!

YOU MAY CONTINUE ADDING LINKS THROUGHOUT THE SEASON, SO KEEP ON NESTING!

UPDATE: I’VE ALSO ADDED ANOTHER MR. LINKY for you to post about “20 LITTLE THINGS” that inspire you in Fall! See details here.

Loving these ideas - thanx a bunch!
My fall nesting projects have an additional “challenge”: I can’t buy anything new…
It ’s the time for me to go “shopping” inside my closets and outside the house - gifts from nature, the garden, treats that have been hiding forgotten in boxes and closets. Or sometimes in plain view…

This weekend I’m doing my Fall nesting be hauling everything out of my closets, drawers, linen closets and pantry. Simplifying helps me see what I have and makes my life just a little easier. You can’t wear/use what you can’t see!
Thank you for a beautiful and inspiring blog!

I’m going to do some fall nesting today. I will have photos and posts up by this evening, as I have just gotten new computer, camera, and scanner and I’m still trying to figure everything out. Fall is my favorite time of year, and all my decorations are from walmart, or garage sales.

Fall in Las Vegas does not offer much seasonal inspiration so you have to really search within to find it. I like to take out my favorite old cookbooks and holiday decor books and look for new inspiration.
