Fall Decorations

So I definitely decorated for fall on September 1st. I do it every year. I just can resist. But I did have enough restraint to not show you the decorations until October 1st, so that counts for something, doesn’t it? I thought so.

Let’s start with the front door… where else?

Remember my Burlap Wreath tutorial from the spring? I just changed up some of the accessories with a big orange K and some fake leaves and it’s perfect for fall. Unfortunately, I couldn’t figure out how to cover up the floral wire that I used to attach the K, but you can’t tell unless you’re right up on it. I added the Mums to the steps, but I still need to add some pumpkins to jazz it up. Like my seriously overgrown ivy? Yeah, I need to spend some time in the yard.

I like the berries mixed with the pinecones. I had just pinecones in there but it didn’t pop until the berries were added.

Finally, in the sunroom, I just added a simple fall wreath to the center of my tobacco basket and I like the effect. The layers of the brick and the old wood and the fall leaves is really pretty.

I guess I couldn’t be bothered with moving the spray paint on the table before taking the picture. I’ll be adding some more decorations throughout the season, but these little changes added a lot of fall warmth to the rooms.

  1. Maury, Love the burlap wreath, I didn't see it in the spring, but the fall colors are great with it. About your "K", is it made of wood? (It appears to be from the picture.) I wonder if you could put a few staples on the back and thread the floral wire through them to hold it on?

  14. I love, love the burlap wreath! Popping over from Serenity Now. Thanks for the kind words on my napkin rings in her introduction of my blog Pinner Takes All. :-)

  15. Front door decoration is pretty cool. I could not believe that, orange leaves are fake. Those are like natural leaves. Everything perfect but the floral wire is visible so you could have used glue to attach the “K” letter.
