There are not really any cooler temperatures to go with it, so I have to make the season begin. I put out my fall decor this week and decided it would make me feel festive. Mindset. I am actually hoping that October and November will be pleasant months with a little cool in the mornings and evenings so I can get outside.
I am sharing the fall decor some new (mostly cross stitching pieces) and some old. You will recognize them if you have been here awhile. Gus has decided where some things go because he is beginning to notice things to get into😊
The entry table is something that has all old stuff.
My bunny just inside the door has his orange ribbon and is guarding Gus's toy.
My desk in the pool table room has some old items on it.
The dining room buffet needs a little work. I wanted to place my pumpkins that I love in the family room. Gus had other ideas though. I placed them on the coffee table and came back into the room and all three were sitting precariously near the edge of the table. He loved the little metal leaves and stems. I quickly moved them in the dining room where they look a little plain. I will see what I can do one day.
I had planned to do something for the table, but I haven't done it yet. So plain Jane it is .
Onto the family room where I put out some new pillow covers. The doggie pillow was a gift for my birthday from the kids.
Those pumpkins would have been so cute on the table. Little bunny has had to be moved as well.
Now for a few new things. I made a couple of places on the bookcases for my new cross stitched pieces.
I added a few fall flowers and a pumpkin to the bookcase as well.
I took all my photos in the early morning, so sorry for the poor lighting.
Onto the kitchen with another of the fall smalls I stitched.
I changed out the table linens and added my Toomer's Corner Collection candlesticks. Football fans in the south will know what Toomer's Corner is even if you don't know much about Auburn. Crazy man got his name in the headlines for being an idiot.
I have some fall candles in the guest bathroom, but forgot those. Oh well, I think I have kept you long enough.
I am hoping to get some yard work done today. Hoping...
WE will see where the day takes me after my hair appointment this morning.
Just happy for fall,
Sandy
I enjoyed your fall tour of your home, Sandy. I like the simple elegance that you created. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am working a bit of a restful day.
DeleteLove all your fall decor...your pretty table in the kitchen is my favorite. Love those colors!! And you did find places for your little pillows. I agree that they are harder to work with but we will figure it out. Gus loves to decorate as well it seems.:) Now that my grands are older, I can leave more little things out without worrying about breakage. And Happy Fall to you too!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Arlene, I have been obsessed with those napkins since I bought them, so I was happy to figure out a way to use them in fall.
DeletePretty, pretty! Your stitch pieces are perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks Stacy, I am enjoying stitching again after putting it away for so many years.
DeleteSandy, Happy Fall to you! It's my favorite season, love everything about it. I think your decorating for the season is just lovely. Your touches in the kitchen are my favorites, love the blue on the table, your sept chart with the little bus and your sunflower and rooster stitch together. Hope you get cooler weather! Mary
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary, I enjoyed stitching the months of the year a couple of years following retirement. I had laid stitching down for many many years due to no time. That is what I did to get started back into my favorite hobby again.
DeleteHi Sandy! You have made lovely fall additions to your home. I especially love how you added your new stitches to your decorating...they bring such a warm touch to your beautiful home. Sorry I have not been here for awhile...we lost power and then when that came back our internet was still out thanks to Irma.

Bless your heart! I know what it is like to be without electricity and Internet after one of those storms. HOT as blazes makes it hard to even think. You will be back among the living soon. You caught up on my posts. Thanks for all your sweet comments.
DeleteI am loving adding the seasonal stitches to my home. Makes this former school teacher very happy.
Such pretty touches of fall in your lovely home, Sandy! I think the fall stitches you've added are so cute--love that tiny yellow school bus with the September display :) I haven't done a whole lot of decorating this year as we are having the hottest weather of the summer right now--near 90--just crazy for late September in western PA. So, I'm still thinking summer, I'm afraid...
ReplyDeleteHope your first weekend of fall is a fun one :)
Thanks Carol, It is hot as heck here as well. I am just trying to think cool. I am quickly reminded when I walk outside.
