it's all about the hospitable home
Fall is definitely creeping in a bit in my part of the country.
We have cooler temps . . . well, cooler to me means it is not in the 90’s . . .
and I can see some slight changes in the color of the leaves on some trees.
That being said, it is time for my Fall Home Tour AND A GIVEAWAY!!!
So grab a seat and your favorite beverage and come along!
I have really been attracted to the beautiful Berry colors this Fall.
The shades of purple and plum have been seen throughout the house for Fall this year.
It was fitting that I go “plum crazy” on the porch too.
Hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend.
We spent the weekend working on the house . . . inside and out.
Today the house is being photographed for real estate purposes.
I will share them with you as soon as they are available.
Today I present a Fall Ideas Tour and flowers for staging.
The other day I took a trip to Trader Joe’s
and picked up many bunches of flowers in the purple and plum colors.
I also lucked out and got 2 dozen white roses at Target for $7.50! A super sale!
Here is what I originally did with the white roses.
While I sit on my front porch thinking about how blessed I am
to be able to enjoy the mild weather,
I am thinking ahead on how I would like to decorate my porch for Fall this year.
I definitely need to keep it simple, yet festive and inviting this year.
So today, I thought I would just present some Fall Porch inspiration
and a new favorite of mine.
As I start to gather ideas about how I am going to decorate my home
for Christmas, I wander about the house enjoying the Fall decor that I created this year.
For me, it is always sad to put away decor of the previous season,
however, exciting to bring out the decorations for the Season of Joy.
Before I put the Fall decor away, I decided to do a recap of my home for Fall this year.
It all started with the front porch.
Dressing the back porch for Fall was on the agenda this past weekend.
Because you can see the upper back porch from most of the rooms in the main living area,
I needed to coordinate the colors.
I recently dressed the dining room in traditional Fall colors, which you can see HERE
and decided to go with those same colors, including the blues.
I am so happy to be a part of the Fall Ideas Tour again this year,
where I am presenting my Fall Wreaths and Fall Porch Decor.
Today, is actually the day for Fall Wreaths, but I thought I may as well show you
the porch in which they are adorning.
My Fall wreath is a bit of a departure from years past.
I concentrated mainly on the colors that I planned to use on the porch
and the harvest of my summer hydrangeas that I have dried.
Hello everyone!
Hope you had a great Labor Day Holiday Weekend.
I am still recuperating from my hand surgery. It gets better every day.
I can now type slowly with my right hand.
Just a short post today to tell you about my little magazine feature
in Country Sampler’s Special Autumn Decorating Issue.
I must say that many of you know my dear friend Kim of Savvy Southern Stye.
She is here today to give you some great ideas to create a beautiful Fall porch
even if do not have a very large porch. Beautiful things come in small packages!
Don’t forget to visit Kim and her gorgeous home that brings you a
“Southern Farmhouse Style with a French Twist!”
Because I was going to be away for approximately 2 weeks,
I decided not to decorate my front porch until I returned.
Well, I am back and the porch got a Fall facelift.
One of the first things that I did when we returned home
was to go to the Farmers’ Market. One of my favorite places.
