Let’s talk fall stems. You know those beautiful faux branches you see in some of your favorite homes on the internet. They add an instant fall feeling to any room you add them too, but sometimes finding the right ones can be difficult. You are not wrong in feeling this way. I too have a hard time finding ones that I love, but when I do, they make it into my cart faster than you can say “fall”. Today I’m sharing some tips in what I look for when shopping for fall stems, and of course some of my favorites, so that you can use them again year after year.
Fall Decor & Design
Decorating our Front Steps for Fall
Nothing says fall has arrived like a few pumpkins sprinkled on your front steps! I have always loved the look of porch steps filled with potted plants and, of course, pumpkins for fall. It’s a great way to add a warm welcome to friends and family all season long. Today, I’m sharing how I decorated our front steps for fall, along with a few tips for re-creating this no-fail look.
Welcoming Fall
It is officially fall! I’ll admit that sometimes welcoming fall into our homes feels a bit premature as the summer temps try to hold on a little bit longer, but before we know it, that crisp autumn air has me turning my attention back indoors, and the itch to make our home feel warm and cozy strikes again. As we prepare to welcome fall into our homes, here are a few things I like to do as we transition into the new season.
Fall Mantel | 2023
Today I’m sharing how I decorated our fireplace mantel for fall! Truth be told, from the moment we finished our fireplace makeover, I have been dying to pull out my garlands from their storage bins, and decorate it for Christmas. But I’m practicing some self control, and am embracing the fall season by choosing to decorate my mantel for fall and not skip straight ahead to Christmas. I took a note from the colors I used in my Thanksgiving table this year to create this natural look using foraged branches with berries, a few faux stems, and of course mini white pumpkins! I love how this look came together, and am so glad I decided not to skip over decorating our mantel for fall this year.
Thanksgiving Tablescape | 2023
Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. Which would surprise most people who asked me as a young kid and expected to hear me say Christmas. I just loved when we would all come to gather around the table, extended family included. The table leaf would get brought up from the basement, and extra chairs were placed around the table, as we all would squeeze in to fit. I remember as a kid looking at the beautifully place settings, showing each of us we had a seat at the table, and somehow those everyday plates just looked a little fancier with the silverware placed next to it. Everything about the table said “you belong”, “I prepared this seat for you”, and even though I couldn’t put words to it back then, I still remember to this day how it made me feel. I think that’s why I love creating thanksgiving tablescapes so much today!
Fall Home Tour | 2023
Fall is in the air friend, and with that I begin to turn my focus from being outside in the garden to back in doors. Fall inside our home means preparing for winter. Extra blankets get put back on beds that were tucked away from summers warmer months, and chunky knit throw blankets get tucked in baskets so they are at arms reach. I swap out my throw pillow covers in the living room with hues that feel more like fall, and candles get swapped out too from scents island margarita to harvest apple spice. I like to focus on all the cozy senses of fall, since for me it is all about nesting, and making our home feel comfortable as we prepare for the colder months ahead spent indoors.
Fall Porch | 2023
Fall is in the air, and boy do I have a fun little makeover to show you! A few weeks back I was browsing through FB Marketplace looking for antique foldable chairs, and stumbled across the cutest little bistro table set! Well, it wasn’t cute at first, but I knew this set had plenty of potential. With a good scrubbing, and some spray paint this bistro set got a completely new look, and it fits perfectly in an empty corner we have on our back porch. Come and see ~
Neutral Fall Decorating Ideas
Are you ready to decorate for fall? But not quite sure how to keep a cozy, neutral aesthetic with your fall decor? Friend, I’ve got you covered! I’ll be the first to admit, I love fall! Living in New England, we get the best showcase of all the beautiful autumn colors. And while I love the vibrant colors fall is known for, I don’t necessarily love decorating with those colors inside my home. Does that mean I have to skip out on decorating my home for fall? No way! Come and see the softer side of fall.
Fall Planter Ideas
The kids are back to school, and even though our temperatures aren’t reflecting it, as we make it into the middle of September, I know fall weather will be here soon! We have have had a bit of a heat wave here in the northeast these last two weeks (I think summer wanted one last hoorah!), which makes it hard to get in the mood to decorate for fall. But nonetheless, my wheels have been turning on what I want to create for our fall planters this year. So I thought it would be fun to share some fall planter ideas with you as well, as I brainstorm what I might want to do this year, and to help us get in the mood.
