Fall touches around the house

~Hi Friends~

Hurray for Friday, this week I have been adding more touches of fall around the house. If you missed part 1 of our Fall Home Tour you can find it right here.

Our front porch usually doesn’t get much attention because it is so darn small.  I dream of a wrap around porch with rocking chairs but I don’t think that is happening anytime soon.  Meanwhile I will just have to make our tiny little space work. Isn’t Mr. Owl so cute!

As you walk in I decided to add some lanterns mixed with pumpkins heading up the stairs, I love how they look at night! Such a pretty, warm glow and it makes the house feel so cozy.

I am in serious love with the antique pumpkin tea light holder.  I love how the scrollwork creates whimsical shadows in the dark.

Tea Lantern heading up stairs for fall

To prep the table for Thanksgiving I decided to add a little extra color with pops of red and green using pumpkins and napkin rings.

Beautiful Fall Tablescape

Next I decorated our buffet for the very first time.  I filled the Mason Jar Drink Dispenser with guards and pumpkins, added my antique scale and a table runner I made. (more on that later)

Fall Vignette Fall

I think I am all finished decorating for fall, before you know it Christmas will be here!

All the common responses are my list toppers too: colors, crisp air, weather, pumpkins, decorating, soup, lit candles, fire crackling in the fireplace on cooler, rainy days — coffee in the morning overlooking fog/mist almost snagging on the treetops as the day starts, football games (even if I don’t watch many- still love the energy), back-to-school rhythms, the anticipation of Thanksgiving gatherings with family & friends…. the list goes on. 😉 Enjoying your blog tonight – happy to have found it!
