Fall 2011: Simple Decorating Ideas!

In case you are just joining me, welcome! So nice to have you here!

I’m on day five of a 31 Day series on getting inspired for the season and holidays ahead. I’m starting out with sharing a few Fall decorating ideas, but I’ll be transitioning to ideas like preparing for guests, setting holiday tables, getting a jump on Christmas ideas — and I’ll be throwing in some crafty and gifty ideas in there along the way.

So, I don’t do a ton of fall decorating at my house. Just a touch here and there. I showed you my mantel already. I keep it all very simple, which is pretty much my style all year round. Simple is how I roll.

Decorating for Fall gets me in the right frame of mind for this nesting season. It transitions my mind towards all things I love still to come this season.

Mini-apple in a frame.

Fall hydrangeas from my yard, placed a tarnished teapot.

Fall apothecary with potpourri, pine cones, nuts and moss. And very glaring glass.

Pretty gourds tucked in here and there on the mantel.

Green apples under glass dome.

I get lots of requests for more pictures of Jack, so there you go!


Thanks for following along with my series! You guys are awesome.
