Fall Colors Inside

I did my fall decorating yesterday. In about another month I will add some Halloween pieces indoors and out. When I remove those I will add a few Thanksgiving items. I guess I do fall in stages. I love fall, and other than Christmas, it's the only season I guess I decorate much for anymore (aside from front door wreath changes).

This photo is making my front doors look really drab and they aren't. At least I don't think they are! This is my little front door vignette with wreaths, scarecrow, bale of hay, basket of fake veggies and dried corn, a felt black cat, and a wooden Jack o'lantern. Oh and a fall welcome mat, of course.

I went back and forth on which table cover to put on the coffee table and choose the bright one for now and after halloween will switch to the one I really like. When you burn a candle in this holder you can see the fall colored glass.

A lousy shot of my mantle done by a lousy photographer (me). Fall leaf garland with bits of fall decorations.

The fall quilt over the chaise lounge and a fall quilted wallhanging on the dining room wall - yes, I still have those paint samples on the wall.

The fireplace seperates the living room and dining room. On the backside of the fireplace stack I hung my broom with a crow-witch.

On top of the display cabinet/bookshelf (where I keep my hull). I need some candles for the holders.

Dining room table. I see from the photo I really need to lower those curtains - the rod is too high. The only tapers I had in the house are those metallic gold swirled tapers because I am afraid to burn them, LOL.

This was my fall wreath from Kodiak (notice it's getting worn) but I have it inside on the door from the entry way to the garage (the door I locked myself out of this morning in my night gown).

Just a little fall color in the guest bathroom. A pumpkin candle holder and a couple leaves added to the candles that are always there. And, wierd as it may seem, am trying out a fall garland on top of the shower. Hard to get it to stay but I had one leftover so am giving it a try. Hard to turn a palm tree room into fall!

Now I couldn't leave the dogs out so here's photos of them eating their brekfast this morning - Daisey wearing her Indian corn scarf and Eddie wearing fall leaves. Click on any photo to enlarge.

I spent hours going through our garage yesterday looking for my fall wreaths. I couldn't figure out what hte heck happened. After talking to Jerr I realized they could be anywhere because he did a clean up job which means he stuffed stuff into whatever was closest and put boxes and totes away in random order. My Christmas totes had non-Christmas, etc. Finally I found a small box that was taped shut and nothing written on it. They had to be in there because I had opened everything else. The box was stuffed with wreaths! I usually hang them on wire clothes hangers bent up at the edges (two to a hanger) above the freezer but I couldn't reach due to junk in front of freezer so he got ahold of them and circumvented my organizaitonal plans. This wreath hanging technique is a good tip by the way! You may have to turn the hanger part 90 degrees depending on how you are going to hang them.
