Hey all you amazing nesters! I’m so impressed by the fall ideas you all have shared so far! Everything from decorating ideas, organization, home makeovers to baking bread and beyond. It is so inspiring! Nesting is in FULL FORCE in blogland. More ideas are being added so keep checking the links on the Welcome to Fall Nesting Week post!
I was telling some folks that I start summerizing my house in about April. So for six or seven months I am celebrating summer, but then I usually try to cram fall into about four weeks. Not good, since Fall is my favorite season! So, GIVE FALL A FAIR CHANCE! START NESTING NOW!
Even Martha Stewart got into the action for Fall Nesting Week (did you see her link on Mr. Linky?). We Domestic Divas need to support each other!
THE BLISSFULLY DOMESTIC RELAUNCH
Now, yesterday was supposed to the official relaunch of Blissfully Domestic. But as with all things technical, issues occurred. Some of us got a peek, some didn’t. It just wasn’t fair. But, things happen. Did I tell you about my own blog relaunch last week? For 15 hours all you could see was an alligator where my blog used to be! Nice! Then, for awhile all you could see was a page that said, “WHOA, DUDE, SURFING IS DANGEROUS!” You just have to have a sense of humor about these things. But have no fear, next Monday Blissfully Domestic will relaunch for real!
THE GIVEAWAY
While I will be postponing the amazon.com gift certificate giveaway until Blissfully Domestic launches next week, I have a little giveaway for YOU all this week, because I like you. So how about this book to tide us over until next week, eh?
All you have to do is leave me a comment here on this post with your email address, deadline is will be Sunday September 7th at 9pm PST.
THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED! WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON!
STAY TUNED FOR ANOTHER GIVEAWAY!
NOTE: If you link The Inspired Room up in your blogroll with my NEW address, I give you a bonus entry. Because then I know we are really friends!
And, by the way, THANK YOU to those of you who have gone over and VOTED for me on Divine Caroline! So nice of you, I’m so touched! It really is an honor to be nominated and thought of! If you enjoy The Inspired Room, I appreciate the support as always.
So, carry on, dear nesters!
It is not too late to join in the Fall Nesting party!
We are just getting warmed up!
We are just getting warmed up!

I absoulutely loved all of the pumpkins running up your steps. I am eager to have some for my doorway, but alas in the south I must wait until October or they will spoil and disolve in a mushy puddle. I am going to do mine in October, and am thinking of something artificial until then. Thanks for the great inspiration. Deb
This book looks wonderful. It would compliment my deep love for the pumpkin.

Pumpkin Pink Cottages last blog post..Wahoo look what I found…Talk about Ideas
I do love fall but let’s not rush it! I live in Maine and know it will be cold for long enough–if the trees already starting to change colors and the acorns dropping at an amazing rate –are any indication. You have inspired me to look for pumpkins at farmers market this week but it’s still summer and I plan to enjoy the warm days as long as possible!
I do love your photos and will try to link my long neglected blog to yours later today, but now I’m going to ride my bike and enjoy the sun.
Loving the pumpkins! Please enter me in your giveaway…and of course I have your linked on my blogroll!!

That got me thinking…..fall is my favorite time of the year too. And when Christmas gets here I’m always anxiuos to decorate for that too so fall kinda gets the short end of the stick. And I’ve been mentioning to others that I’m ready to decorate already and they keep saying “Oh no not yet” But to heck with them. I’m divin’ in!
Hi Melissa,
Oh orange, the popiest color and my favorite one. So I HEART pumpkins, and soon the time will come to decorate our homes. I’d love to be lucky and big THANKS for this kind & thoughtful opportunity to win.
And, you’re already linked in my Daisy Friends ”Blogroll” list, and time to time I love to jump here and see your beauties.
Have a beautiful day & Miles of Smiles.

I love your Fall Nesting idea and it;s fun to follow all the links and see God’s creativity working in so many women and their homes. For me, the book on our coffee table would be a little nesting. And once in awhile, I could snuggle up in fleecy throw to be inspired again and again.
You are terrific!

Added a post and a linky thingy for the Fall Nesting party. Have enjoyed all the posts and inspiration but most of all really got the message of ‘work with what you have’.
My decorated corner is celebrating the recent acceptance of shabby chic with a harvest bounty of seashells collected from around the globe. Thank you.

LOVE your blog, super cute ideas! I am crazy about ANYTHING having to do with fall, even though here in Texas it is debatable that we even have this season! So I go overboard with nesting! Thanks for sharing
I just love this site!!!

there’s nothing wrong with some seasonal cramming! :)
I would love to be entered- looks like it is full of great ideas!
Wonderful, all the way around! All those plump pretty pumpkins and the magical book cover (and the cool breeze from Hanna) are diminishing my goodbye-summer wistfulness. After all, autumn is SUCH a gorgeous time of year. Thanks for continuing to motivate, inspire, and simply lift our spirits (along with always offering us visual goodies, special treats, and exciting giveaways)!
I just found your site and can’t wait to come back and visit for a while longer. :-)
Please enter me in the drawing. That book looks like a lot of fun.
Have a great weekend!

I love the beauty of your blog – and the colors of autumn make it all the better. You are the last blog I read each time. Something akin to a warm cup of coffee at the end of the day, I save the soothing & comfortable stop here for last. :) It’s always a refreshing visit here, full of such fresh ideas for a beautiful home~

I just discovered your blog and it’s great! I love your philosophy on decorating and changing everything with the season. I tend to decorate for me…. I like a pretty home and I feel so much better about my life when my home is clean and pretty!

Okay, I have to admit that I can’t really get into the fall nesting just yet when it’s 90+ degrees here in Texas, but I like all of the ideas and photos that you are sharing! :)

I have already started to do my fall decorating in our home. Boy how I love the holiday seasons. I just love the Fall colors. But especially since I live in the deep South and we have hot, hot, hot summers…I always look forward to the first cool weather that moves in.
Thank you for hosting such a festive, fun give-a-way. I have posted a link to your site on my blog.

Wow, I was just introduced to your website by reading the last Heart4MyHome and I am very excited to join your mailing list. Last Christmas we visited Victorian Cape May, NJ and I just wanted to share with you how they recycled their fall pumpkins. They spray painted them silver and used them in amongst their Christmas decorations and let me tell you it added a very unique flair. Hope you like the idea, too, as I will be doing the same this year when I decorate our outdoors.
I just love this time of year! And I love a wonderful giveaway! I would definitely like to enter – thank you so much! And if I had a blog, I would definitely think to you! :)
I love the great ideas & could always use MORE :)

Jamilyns last blog post..Our BIG News!
I’m trying to get motivated to start decorating for fall. I love fall. I love all things related to fall. However, it’s still 95+ degrees here, and we’re still in our pool, so it’s hard to put the summer stuff up. ;) So I’m reading everyone’s blogs to inspire me to get started. Have a great week!
love your design tips, your site is awesome!
