Let Nature Be Your Guide: I love taking impromptu trips to the mountains during
Autumn. I am never disappointed by the glory of the color of the leaves. Rich
amber and ruby tones blanket the mountains and put me in the mood to
decorate. Let the colors on the trees and other seasonal foliage be your guide to
creating a beautiful palette for your home. Pepper berries branches, grapevines
and Autumn leaves make for great wreath ideas.
Variety is the Spice of Life: One of my favorite places to go, particularly in the Fall,
is the Farmer's Market. It is my go-to place for purchasing fall decorations. I am
always guaranteed to find a wide array of mums in rich purples, warm oranges
and soft yellows. There you will also find pumpkins, gourds and apples of every
variety that you can imagine. Buy several varieties in different colors and sizes to
add interest to your front porch or tablescape.
These everyday topiaries flank a
metal cornucopia filled with the
bounty that can be found at your
local farmer’s market.
Use What You Have:
Taking a quick shopping trip around
the house can turn up some a few
unexpected treasures that will help
add to your Fall decorations. Baskets
are great for decorating and help
lend to the seasonal feel. Warm
woolen blankets and tartans can
serve as tablecloths or fill a basket by
the fireplace.
Adding knit pillows with wooden
buttons also helps make the
transition from Summer décor to Fall
décor. Knit wool pillows are great
accents for your sofa or chairs. You
can also sew pillow covers from an
old sweater to achieve this look.
