Fall 2011 Decorating Tips!


 Corn stalks found at a local pumpkin farm are the perfect
front porch touch for Fall decorating.


As many of you may already know. . . I LOVE Fall! It is the best time of year. The leaves begin to change, the weather gets cooler and football season starts. Not only that but the holiday decorating begins! I bring out my pumpkin decor, fall leaves, some hay stacks and corn stalks on the front porch! Oh, and most of all, you cannot forget the fall scented candles. Below are a few tips if you would like to start adding a few Fall touches to your home. 

Candles, magazine, and fall colored flowers tie

1. Decorate little parts of your home,  such as your chandelier and/or entry table/coffee table. 
A few other changes you may want to make are with your throws and pillows in your family room. Add warmer colors such as plum, burnt orange or mustard brown.

YUM!
2. Candles! Candles! Candles! You want your home to have a cozy feeling and candles will add just the extra touch. A few great places to get candles this time of year are at Bath and Body Works (tons of scented candles from Pumpkin Spice to Apple Pie) as well as Anthropologie.

3. Decorate the exterior of your home with real pumpkins, lanterns, hay stacks or even tall corn stalks. I like to tie corn stalks to the posts on my front porch. Also, set out a few pumpkins leading up to your home or gather a few and put them on the ground as well as a few on a hay stack. Always remember it is important to keep the eye moving so don't just decorate in one corner!!

Happy Decorating!
