Fall!

I am so excited to finally be able to decorate for fall! This morning we cleaned out all the weeds in the front yard and I decorated the yard and house for fall. Aunt Rhonda sent me this cute little flower from Leakey and I put it next to our little (big) froggy.
I changed out the display in the window above the door, added a fall rug, potted our rosemary plant in a terra cotta pot, and added fun little owl stakes.
In the window above the door I added a greenish-brown vase, an owl, and a pumpkin candle. I changed out our blue rug for a brown striped one. I changed the normal blue throw to a red one and removed all the stuff on the top shelf of the bookshelf and replaced it with a pumpkin bowl for our keys and a plate with a bird.

I also had an Anthropologie catalog (for September) that was really inspiring, so I tore out one of the pages, added the word CRISP (again, cannot wait for the crisp fall air!) and threw it in the frame. Easy, peasy!
And the kitchen! I added kind of a lot of stuff here! I love fall, what can I say? Everything above the shelves is just stuff I had in the kitchen (plates, pumpkin soup bowls, an apple that I put wine corks in, etc). The pear canister usually holds tea, but I switched it out with the Martha Stewart utensil crock. I like the change! I also changed out my blue butter dish for a brown one. Another simple change that works well!
I did not do much to the living room... just added some deep reddish-orange hydrangeas. They are one of my favorites... we had them at our wedding! :)

Beautiful! I just adore the window above the door! That looks so beautiful from the outside especially. What a unique feature to your home!
I wish you could come over and help me decorate my new house...I need someone like you who has skill!

Thanks Andrea! The window was my favorite thing about this place when we looked at it and then we moved in and I left it empty for months! Finally I was inspired and put a puff (made from tissue paper), but I really like the fall stuff the best!

I am sure your house will be beautiful! How is that going? I can't wait to see your blogs about it!! :)
