Time for Fall

I'm never the first person to put up Fall decorations, I try to hang on to Summer for a while!  But last week, I decided it was time.  I don't do a lot, but here's what I did around our house.



In the dining room, I changed out my pictures on the wall, added autumn berries to the vases and some pumpkins on the ledge.





There's a Fall centerpiece on the table.




The living room shelf has a thankful sign and a gourd on it.





Also in the living room are these little pumpkins made of Jenga blocks.  Ruby and I made them several years ago.




This little vignette is next to our tv.





Our back entry has this Fall wreath hanging up.






The porch is my favorite. We have mums and pumpkins of all sizes.  The black milk can is an old one from my Dad's farm and the little pumpkins are in an old egg basket, also from the farm.  I love seeing those little bits of family history.

That's it - this will stay until it's time to take it down for Christmas decor and I'm certainly not ready to think about that!

Everything looks very nice. We bought the corn stalks for my front porch posts tonight.

I think my favorite is the cute Jenga block pumpkins, so adorable! I love the pumpkin picture on the wall, and the cool centerpiece with the little pumpkin and flowers. My Mums always die!

I really love how you brought Fall into your home. It looks lovely!

Very nice and neat decoration. Unfortunately we don’t have deck here and it is difficult to decorate the front door.

Your home looks beautiful and I do love the thankful and gourd shelf best of all and the reflections in you glass door on the porch grabbed my eye for light.

Loving your Fall decor. So simple and pretty. We found some tri colored mums that we placed in front of our store doors. We have had lots of compliments on them. I never bought any for the house. Just too busy with other stuff. Janice

I would have a hard time picking my favorite out of all the decorating you've done, Mari. Everything is lovely. But when it comes to memories, it would be the porch because of the items that came from your dad's farm.

I love your style - minimalist and classy. It’s just right!

So, you decorated for fall - I am so ready for fall! I love everything you put out. I like the pumpkin - it looks like it is in water, but I know it is not. So pretty.

I love all the little spaces of autumn fancy! I have never thought of having special framed art work for fall, but I am considering doing that in the future, if I find artwork I like.
I do love your white wall paneling too, by the way! Blessings!

Your home is so elegantly decorated. I like the simple things you have put up, especially the Jenga pumpkins. So clever.
I love the "history" on your porch. It just says welcome, please come in.

Your fall touches are so pretty and look just right to me.
Your porch looks so welcoming. The perfect spot to enjoy a glass of that delicious Michigan apple cider and perhaps a donut :)
Love the New Day sign too. A wonderful reminder to enjoy each day to the fullest.

Wow, I love your porch!! I'm holding out because I hate to upstage my flowers, haha!! I'll probably give in soon. I do love pumpkins and mums!

Looks nice! I decorated for fall at the beginning of September, now it's still summer here! But it's cozy in here. I do love cozy. Your decor is very nice. :)

Fall looks lovely in your home, Mari! I still haven't really decorated inside. It's been so warm here, but I need to get moving, because Christmas is coming up fast...but like you said, I'm not ready for that!!

Jenny the Pirate said...

Ugh the front porch is SO gorgeous, Mari! But everything is pretty and so homey. Fall is here for sure! Not to stay, but for sure. xoxo
