A Fall Welcome to my Home.

Good morning!!! I have been away last week with my GREAT girlfriends to the beach. This is our annual Fall beach trip that we have done for over 40 years now!!!! We were all former neighbors, raised our kids in the development and started this trip when the kids started school. Those kids are all now married and have kids of their own! Time sure flies.
But I took some shots of my front "porch", before I left to share with you but never got to it while I was away. So....WELCOME!!!!

 Pumpkins, mums, impatiens, etc. all welcome you!

 I FINALLY got my initial pumpkin at Kirklands this year. I have been wanting one for several years but they never had an "S" when I looked.

 I layered a green and white checked rug with a new welcome mat I got this year.  I have the matching flag but didn't get pictures of the yard yet.

 I decorated my lantern with berries, flowers and a big bow and added a candle ring inside.

 The urn still has the orange begonia in it so I added the pumpkin picks, a small pumpkin and some fall leaves.

 My Fall wreath stayed the same, just haven't had time to make a new one (although I did make 2 new ones for the doors at the clubhouse).

Thanks for your visit! I will be sharing all of my Fall decor now. I have been decorated for quite awhile but BUSY!!  Hope you all are having a great Fall and that the weather is finally cooling off some. I LOVE FALL!!!!!

2019 Fall Mantle and Hearth

Fall is 6 days away but I am decorated and enjoying it! We also have been having beautiful "fallish" weather, cool mornings and evenings and mid 70's during the day! PERFECT for me! I am loving it!!! Today I will share the mantle and hearth, all decked out for Fall.

 I usually change out the artwork for Fall but this year decided to keep it and work with it. I LOVE the combination of blue and white with orange so decorating for Fall is my favorite time!

 On the hearth, the elephants and lanterns are a constant. I added the small white pumpkins and the vignette in the center.

 The berry garland is intertwined with a leaf garland and draped over the side of the mantle.

 I piled some "velvet" pumpkins and a velvet acorn in my pedestal bowl. I added some berry picks and a few candle rings under the pumpkins! The large orange pumpkin sits beside it and the branch of blue pumpkins was a gift from my friend!

 I placed these 2 wooden pumpkins on these candle holders that are favorites too.

 At night this room takes on a beautiful glow.

 I love this grouping so much.

Thanks so much for your visit. I know I have been MIA for awhile but I am back! I am looking forward to sharing more Fall inspiration with you!

2018 Fall Breakfast Room

Good morning! I have to mention that I am thinking of and praying for everyone in the Carolinas and the other states that are in harms way. WE actually are scheduled to drive to Charlotte on Friday for a wedding Sat.! Right now we are playing it by ear to see what happens. I feel SO bad for the bride and groom to be. GO AWAY FLORENCE!!!

OK, now back to the post. I always start decorating for any season in my breakfast room/morning room. Fall is my favorite time to decorate here. The colors of Fall are my FAVORITE! I have a pretty big collection of Fall decor so try to move things around each year and do something different.

 As you know, Joe made me this hutch when we lived in the last house.

 I love to decorate it for each season. This year the colors were chosen and inspired by.....

 The beautiful plaid chargers on the top shelf!

 I switched out the large white lantern on top for this black one. It has a timer so comes on each evening.

I twisted 2 garlands together to drape over the side of the hutch. Then I added 2 brown, pottery pumpkins, a faux cabbage and some smaller pumpkins.

Joe gave me this gorgeous soup tureen several years ago, so we added it to the hutch this year. We eat a lot of soup in the Fall and Winter so it will be handy to have it right here. The leaf sticking out is the ladle. I should have gotten some shots of it and the writing inside. It says, "Give thanks for family and friends".

 I made this arrangement years ago and love how the greens and oranges in the pumpkin and arrangement match the chargers.

 This pear is made of slices of wood and adds a beautiful organic touch. My cute squirrel sits next to it.

 I decorate the 2 shelves by the windows too. I filled the candle hurricane with lots of Fall pretties.

 The wheel barrel is also filled with faux pumpkins and fall picks.

 I am glad I took pictures last week when I did this as it has been raining and COOL since Friday!

 On the other shelf is the lamp that always lives here and a large green bottle filled with some Fall stems.

 This tureen came in orange but  think the creammy color is SO pretty!

 Love these chargers and found them at Pier 1. May go back to get some more!

 I have also had these 2 pieces of art for years!

Thanks so much for your visit. I truly appreciate it and try to answer every comment here.
