With moving, much of my fall decorating around the house has been of the quick and simple variety this year. I want to keep it simple, but still have a sense of the season, as we are still living here much of the time. It wouldn't do much for my spirit to live surrounded by packing boxes, so simple fall it is!
Our sunporch has a very minimal set-up with a small seating area...couch, loveseat, and chair. The upper part of the porch where the furniture used to be is now a packing/staging area. It's really nice to have this small area where we can relax and enjoy the fall beauty outdoors...
Simply hanging a sunflower print from a vintage wood hanger. and adding a basket with faux pumpkins brings fall into the space. My print came from a book I had (newer), but you can also find royalty free botanical prints on Pinterest.
I used neutral and fall colors on pillows...
Adding simple little items or vignettes in the house can add fall impact...
like the egg carton filled with faux eggs and a little nest.

And brown transferware always has a fall feeling to me.
The antique iron rest makes a cute spot for salt and pepper shakers, too!
Of course, simply adding pumpkins, gourds, and squash changes things up instantly. I love the simple look of setting them in a basket...
Adding chalkboard or letterboard art changes things easily, too...
I'm looking forward to getting a few mums to set out,
and cutting some branches with fall leaves to display, too!
How is your fall decorating going...any quick and simple tips to share?
Until next time...
I love your approach---sometimes the simplest of natural items, gives the purity of the season. Smiles!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sandi! You are so right!
DeleteI love your simple but lovely Fall touches! I think I'll wait a bit longer to bring in the Fall colors but now I'm starting to get excited about Fall.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I understand, Linda...I wasn't ready to do any fall decorating until I started feeling fall here!
DeleteI am all for simple this year! I was just out looking at mums this morning. So many colors to choose from!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Helen! I know you love this cozy time of year, too!
DeleteI haven't done any fall decorating yet, but I'm getting inspired popping around here checking out what all you lovely ladies have been up to!! I don't envy you the nightmare of packing and moving....what a chore that is, although it can be exciting as well, dreaming of how you will decorate your new place!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debbie! It has definitely been a fun challenge to see how we will use our stuff at the new place...
DeleteI have a true appreciation for simple ideas like this! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your chalkboard, the pumpkin, and your vintage touches.
Thank you, Stacey! I love decorating for the seasons...
Deletesimply beautiful, Linda. that's my kind of comforting Fall decor! You're very smart to have a staging area for packing. We're just all over the house!
ReplyDeleteOh, we are all over the house, too lol!
DeleteIt is simple Linda but oh so pretty. Love all the vintage pieces you add into your decor ideas.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Hugs,
Kris
Thank you, Kris! I really enjoy having the vintage mixed in everywhere...gives things some personality!
DeleteWhat great ideas- a wooden hanger for artwork, the sad iron stand as a display piece, the egg carton with a nest- they make me think "I can do that!" Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Beth! It's fun to use things in different ways!
DeleteHi Linda, loving the sunflower art hanging on the rustic wood.
ReplyDeleteLove the Hydrangeas too with your vintage pieces.
Starting her but tough with hot and humid weather but I love fall.
Enjoy the rest of your day
Cindy
Thank you, Cindy! We are heading back into some summery weather here, too...so I guess summer isn't quite done with us!
DeleteWell, I haven't had a chance yet to pull out the FALL storage box but I did purchase a small block sing that reads "Hello Fall" so that will be my starting point. The sad thing is ... when I went to clear the mantel to start over for Fall, I was removing Bunnies! Yes! That is the last time I decorated the mantel. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny! But I guess we have bunnies running around all year here!
DeleteI absolutely love that painting! Sometimes simple is best.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie! I am trying to edit more these days!
DeleteI'm so excited here more about your
