Hello sweet Friends! Did anyone else experience a cool-down this weekend? Okay it only got down to the mid 80’s here, but after the heat wave of a Summer we’ve had, it was such a welcomed change!
You know what it’s got me thinking about? Fall!! Fall is my absolute favorite season! And it is just around the corner!
Today I’m sharing some of my favorite Fall posts from last year along with some of my very talented Friend’s Fall posts as well. So if you need a little something to put you in the mood, here ya go!
Let’s start with my Fall wreath from last year:
I was looking for a change from the traditional Fall colors and I think I found it! And it was SO easy to make, y’all!
I also made this easy Quilled Paper Pumpkin Art in similar colors which was practically free:
If you prefer more traditional colors for Fall, my friends will not disappoint…
How about this gorgeous porch from Yvonne of Stone Gable…
Yvonne’s porch evokes all that is Fall ~ pumpkins, mums, a cozy plaid throw and more. Can’t you just picture yourself sitting out there cider in hand? Pop over to Yvonne’s Fall porch for a closer look!
Even if you don’t decorate your whole front porch or don’t have a front porch, adding a wreath is a perfect way to welcome Fall and your guests.
Julie of Lilacs & Longhorns created this absolutely stunning Fall wreath:

At Top This Top That, Laura has three super festive ideas for adding Fall to your front door. Even if you are not ready to let go of Summer, you can still get started on a wreath, right?
I mean how gorgeous is her front door dressed with these adorable Owl Wreaths…
Stunning! (As is her whole house!)
It is all in the details at My Soulful Home. Kelly shares how to make your Fall table really special with her cinnamon stick place cards:

Not only will they look beautiful, they’ll smell great too! Pick up some cinnamon sticks and head out to your yard & clip…and then come back here for the tutorial!
One more from me…I saved this for last because my thrifty friends will really appreciate this one…

How about a new Fall centerpiece!
Pretty drastic changes, right? See how it all happened here!

I’m not quite ready for fall but I certainly enjoyed your photos. The poplars and walnut trees have already started to lose some leaves, so I know fall is indeed on the way.
Can’t wait to see what you did with that cabinet!

I usually hang on to the last weeks of Summer too, but this has been such a hot Summer that I think I’m ready for Fall. 🙂

Hi Christy!! It is incredible how weather can influence in our lives.. In mid Spain we are still in Summertime , children on holidays and I’ll go to beach at the end of August…
Actually the real fall begins here in October… So when I’ve seen your post … ??… Kind regards
Christy K. James says
SO true! We have hot temps till early to mid September here as well. We have had such a hot and humid Summer that it makes me ready for Fall this time. 🙂
Shirley@Housepitality Designs says
Such a tremendous amount of Fall inspiration here today. Just love how you transformed those ordinary faux pumpkins into a fabulous showcase of extraordinary pumpkins so beautifully displayed. I also love your quilled paper pumpkin project and wreath!..Have a great day!

Thanks, Shirley! I liked the greens for a little change last year. Not sure what I’ll do this year yet! XO
