The Winner is: Gina E
Yay, it’s time to celebrate the changing of the seasons, into one of my favorite times of the year. FALL! It’s hard not to love Fall, with its crisp cool air in the morning, beautifully changing leaves, and all around great weather. Every year, this time of the season changing pulls me right in and I get all nostalgic for all of those autumn years I’ve had in the past, reveling in the scents and smells of this wonderful time of year.
So, to get ready for Fall at my new house, I had the opportunity to do a little autumn shopping at Kirklands, a fun décor store that has lots of things to choose from. It was fun coming up with ideas for my new space for Fall. I know, I know….I get to do some very fun things and I pinch myself every day. Somebody has to do it, you know?!
Who says you have to decorate in all the traditional colors of changing leaves?
I have to admit, I’m not one to explode in Fall décor with pumpkins and fake fall leaf swags and wreaths. That’s just not me. But, I did have fun with bringing in some Fall warmth and cheer in non-traditional Fall colors.
Let’s pretend I’ve already moved in my house. I know, it’s a stretch, but just coming in the front door, we can pretend I’m already living in here. We just won’t go any further for now than the entry way. We can pretend that I’m not still caulking and putting in trim and touch up painting.
Let’s pretend I’m having a Fall party!
I would welcome my guests with a nice Welcome mat that greets them at the door.
Welcome y’all! This one has rubber edging that should last a long time, will span the seasons, and it has fleur de lis, which I love.
For the front door, I chose a pretty peacock feather wreath and at $30, it is very affordable. While not the typical Fall colors, these beautiful blues and greens can still welcome the autumn season just as much as orange and yellow, don’t you think? I hung my wreath on a simple clear suction cup wreath hanger, just in case you are wondering.
It was so soft and pretty colors that I couldn’t resist.
As much as I love blues and greens, this pretty wreath could go in any spot in my house. I won’t be able to leave it on the front door because of weather issues, but it will be fun to have around.
A wood twig pumpkin is another fun way to welcome the Fall season. October and Halloween will be here before we can blink.
Inside the front door, a blue and white chevron tall vase holds a trio of stately sticks. These aren’t just any sticks, however, they are prelit branches wrapped with cute little lights. I can see these out on my porch later on and they plug into an outlet for some pretty ambiance at night.
I love the pretty pattern of this tall vase and can see using this in lots of places around the house.
This white ceramic garden stool with its puffy tufted dots was just too pretty to resist. Use it as a side table or put something on top to display, this one will be very versatile.
And who can resist lime green and turquoise pumpkins for Fall? Not me! These will be a fun addition around the house and even sitting on the front steps, they would be out of the way of traffic.
So, that’s how I’m kicking off Fall this year!
Even though I’m not quite in my house yet, I had a great time on my Kirkland’s shopping spree, gathering some Fall-ish things to get me in the mood for the season. Now, if I was only finished with my renovation and sitting on the back porch sipping hot cider, that would be the bomb. I’m almost there….almost!
I can’t wait to see what YOU ALL have to share this year with your Fall links.
But, before we get to that, I have some exciting news!!

I would get the owls they have this year. Love kirklands, I’m about ready to start decorating.
I love the floor lamps and it’s hard to choose just one right now.
Left a comment on the other page…..does that count?
Love Kirklands….
Thanks for a chance to win this fabulous giveaway!
OMG! I haven’t visited their site before and hardly go to their store, but I certainly will have to now! I’m so in love with their glass pumpkins and grapevine pumpkins. It would be a tough decision if I could ONLY spend $150!!!
Thanks so much for hosting this giveaway!!
Love the Distressed Black Demilune table! And I just found out there is aKirklands 5 minutes from my new job – can’t wait to go!
I love the narrow blue console with drawers. I would use it in my entry hall.
I love Kirklands! I spotted a gorgeous fall wreath in the “Natural Harvest” section that I would love to own! Thanks!
The tufted garden stool is also a favorite of mine, so I would choose that and the ceramic red bird bath…and maybe spend a little extra for a few of those mercury glass pumpkins!
I love the Natural Harvest wreath. That’s what I would get from Kirklands if I won! I LOVE KIRKLANDS!
By the way, where did you get the lime green and turquoise pumpkins?
Love the feather wreath.
Recently found your blog and I love watching the work progress on your new house. Your journey is inspiring and each email has prompted me to pray for you and your parents. May God bless and keep you.
So hard to pick one thing – but I would love to have a Kirkland’s decorated house for fall, and I would start with the Mercury Glass Pumpkin. SO PRETTY
I like the red ceramic floor vase and sea grass vase. Kirklands is a dangerous pace to go……can’t walk in empty handed and leave the same way!
I’ve been looking for a pop of color for my mantle, and I think I found the perfect accent in the Autumn Mist Tree Canvas Print. The vibrant burnt reds in the painting fade down into lush blues and greens–just right for my decor. “Wait,” you say, “your total exceeds your $150 gift card.” BUT, I discovered in the back of Kirkland’s online catalog an offer to receive a 15% discount –FALL15 — so I’m going to use the code, and I’ll even have a little bit left over
.
Thanks for hosting! I would really like a new mirror for my powder room!
I LOVE Kirklands and I ‘ve been coveting one of their garden stools for a while now!

Hi Rhoda,
I loved looking at the Red Radiance portion on Kirkland’s site, since I have a lifelong love of red. I really liked the Parisian torchere’ and some of the red cabinets on their site. It would be hard to choose which ONE I would choose if I won the gift card.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Rhoda
I love the simplicity and the beauty of the burlap wreaths…..they can be casual or they can be dressed up. I hope I win!
Oh, if I were the very lucky winner I would be in heaven! I would absolutely snag this gorgeous table.
http://www.kirklands.com/product/Furniture/Tables/Accent-Tables/Round-Top-Scrollwork-Table/pc/2285/c/2300/sc/2608/159654.uts
I’d also have to pick up some of the table linens they offer. They’re table runners are especially gorgeous. Then I’d make my way over to lamps and snag this one:

I am dreaming and drooling looking through their products!
Love the wreath choice by the way. And the chevron vase too. I’ve been seeing chevron prints everywhere lately, but this is one of my favorites so far!
Thanks for sharing (and good luck to all the entries!)

I love the Addison Console Table! Thanks for a great giveaway!
We have spent all of our summer redoing our backyard — yes, our own blood, sweat and tears!! Anyway, after the recent demise of my cushion that belonged to my favorite backyard swing {bad doggy}, I’d love the diamond back backyard bench. A new cushion is almost as much as a new swing so it’s getting replaced. This would be PERFECT! Love the linky party!! Happy Sunday to you
I adore Halloween so I would have to stock up on decorations. I love the “Even Monsters Need a Break” Framed Art Print!
I love Kirkland’s. If I won I’d like to get the White Ceramic Table Lamp. Thanks, Rhoda!

Well I’m in the market for new lighting! The sari lantern and white table lamp are calling me!
Thanks for the fun contest!
A brand new Kirklands just opened about 2 miles from my house–I’m so excited about that! lol If I won the gift card, I think I’d buy the Black Diamond Bench for my backpatio.
I love Kirklands! If I won, I would purchase the gray plant stands, or the Neely brown floral rug, or the hanging candle chandelier, or the stacked crystal lamp, or….the list goes on and on!
Thanks, Rhoda, and I have truly enjoyed watching your progress with your new home! God bless you and your wonderful mother and father!
Thanks for the chance to win…whoo hoo…love Kirkland’s! I’d like the metal room divider or a garden stool or, or, or…so many great choices!
Right now I think I’d get the Yellow Floral Placemat, Set of 4 to make some nice pillows!

Great colors! I’d love to have some of the subway art from Kirkland’s.
I’m in between a art print for our living room or a mirror for the mantel!
There are so many great ideas here, Rhoda!
I love the idea of decorating with rich teals and blues, instead of the typical fall colors (orange, yellow, red). It’s an unexpected but elegant way to make your porch stand out from all the others.
