Fall Inspiration

Fall photos near Franklin, NC, taken by Dot R. (my cousin’s wife in Florida)

It’s still quite warm here in the South and I’m not quite ready for Fall yet, but Melissa over at The Inspired Room is hosting a Fall festival of decorating ideas, so I thought I’d participate. Maybe some of the festivities will rub off on me and I’ll get in the mood for some Fall decorating at my house. These photos are all from BHG.com and I really loved the feel of them. Something about the white is very soothing for a different twist on Fall. If I do get some pumpkins for Fall, they will be white. I really don’t go crazy with a lot of decorating in my house for the autumn months, but save it up for a big show at Christmas.
Simple white pots with green moss and pinecones add a simple appeal to a mantel.
This black and white pumpkin is oh, so chic, sitting atop a black pedestal. Very elegant!
Simple acorns and leaves are probably stamped onto pillowcases for a little bit of Fall in the bedroom.
And tied wheat stalks are a nice touch for a tabletop.

Go and check out all the other links to Fall nesting ideas and see what inspires you this year. Happy Fall, it’s just around the corner!

    Love the inspiration. You are right it is too hot in AL for fall decor right now. I may do a little in Oct/Nov, but not much.

    Those wheat stalks look INCREDIBLE. I’d love to get some white pumpkins too…and I’ve been in the mood to decorate with burlap lately….doesn’t that sound SO fall-ish too?

    Rhoda,
    Do they print the BMG ideas in their magazine? I need to go look at my magazine again, and see if these ideas are inside, because if they are, I missed them… The fall ideas are so beautiful when posted by YOU.
    The white pumpkins do add such a wonderful sense of elegance in a home and loved the pillow cases…
    I also enjoyed the quaint fall picture taken in SC. Fall in the East is such a treat.
    I hope Gustav is being kind to you…

    Hi Rhoda! I usually miss a lot of fall decorating because I wait until later in October. By then, the season seems to fly by and it is suddenly Christmas! It feels great to be getting inspired earlier this year so I can really enjoy the season! Feels like I’ve had summer stuff out since about April so summer is such a long decorating season!

    Happy nesting!

    Melissa

    The autumn decorating bug hasn’t got me yet, but all of these postings are beginning to get me. I just might need to get motivated.

    Gorgeous photos there. I’m a big fan of these white pumpkins, I’ve never seen them here in the UK 🙁 Still maybe I can get some seeds and grow them next year 🙂

    Thanks so much for sharing these lovely fall photos!

    Fall is my fav time of the year to decorate.
    Can not wait to break out the white pumpkins!!!
    Altho. I bought one last year, for pennies on clearance after the season & by accident my little guy dropped it & it shattered.
    O well.
    On the hunt again this year!

    Hi, I love the white pumpkins, they look beautiful. I laughed when y ou said you are dragging your feet. You of all people I would think, would have all kinds of fall decorating ideas swirling around that beautiful head of yours. You always have great ideas, so I guess we will have to wait for the big “Christmas decorating bonanza!!!!”
    Blessings,
    Debbie
