Fall Decor

Yesterday I told you I was embracing the season and doing my decorating. Today I'll show you what it looks like around our home.



Here's the front porch...







and here's what's on it. The wire basket filled with gourds and small pumpkins was an egg basket from my Dad's farm. The pumpkins and gourds in it and on the porch are from Bob's stepdad's family who have a small flower farm where you can cut your own bouquets and get all these fun pumpkins.  The black milk can by the door is also from my Dad's farm.  It makes me happy to see these things from my childhood being used to decorate!







In the back entry, I hung this little Fall wreath.







Here's the dining room; a glass display cannister with a pumpkin and leaves in it, is on the table. I changed out my pictures that hang on the wall to fall leaves and gourds. Then I added some pumpkins and other things to the shelf.





A few things on the shelf





This is on a side table in the living room.  The acorns are some that I collected and painted with Alaina and Ruby last Fall.





This is on the wall in the living room





Last but not least is the fireplace mantle.  I changed out everything in my dough bowl.





Here's a few new finds.  I thought those tiny pumpkins were so cute!  They're clay, and that hedgehog is cast iron.

I think that's it. I'll leave it like this until it's time for Christmas decorations to come out.

Happy Fall!

Everything is beautiful.
It's nice to see that the milk container is similar to the one we had in Finland during my childhood. Here they were usually metallic gray.

Decorating porches is not really a thing over here until Halloween and I feel like England is really missing out. Yours is so pretty! I love all the little touches around your home.

Your fall decor is so nice, Mari. I love that hedgehog! He's darling. I purchased a teeny tiny fox to put in with my fall things this year. How special it is to have things from your childhood as well as things from Bob's family to decorate with. Special memories attached, I am sure. xx

It all looks so nice, and I really like the uncluttered look.

Cathy said...

Mari,
Your home is so pretty and inviting. I am warmed by your decorating and the touches of autumn are pleasing. Blessings!

Michelle said...

You have a beautiful home and your decor is so classic. Fall decor is a favorite of mine.

Kim said...

It looks so lovely, Mari! Your home is so warm and charming, inside and out. That porch is dreamy...and you're way ahead of me with decorating. Between storms and vacations, I haven't even started!! I'm clearly way behind on my decorating and blog reading! I'm getting caught up though and getting motivated to put those pumpkins out already!!
