I find it difficult to decorate for Fall when it is still 94 degrees out, but I couldn’t resist starting since I am so eager for it to arrive this year. I decided to start in our dining area and changed out the tabletop display on the chest I have in here.
I took away most of it and added in this chalkboard, which was part of a set from Décor Steals. I hung a small wreath/candle ring over the handle portion and just wrote Welcome Fall {there wasn’t enough room to add “thank God you’re here, it’s been a horrible Summer”!} on it.
I added my GW tureen find with another wreath type piece sitting on the platter and encircling the bottom of the tureen. Super simple ways to add Fall in!
Some pumpkins from Becky at Timewashed added in and my simple Fall tabletop is done. This is my third year buying pumpkins from Becky and I love the different designs she comes up with every year.
I then moved over to the table and removed this more Summery centerpiece.
I added in a toile table runner that I had made a year or so ago for our dining room table at our old house. Then I just added a pedestal tray with a pumpkin and leafy candle ring as a centerpiece.
I also removed my white ruffled slips from the chairs.
I couldn’t leave the ceiling fixture all plain, so I picked up a leaf garland at Michael’s and just draped it around.
Some pinecones made it into the teacups over on the French chest, along with a couple more pumpkins from Becky at Timewashed.
More pumpkins from Becky filled up the pedestal birdcage/cloche on the kitchen counter.
In the living room, I added a few small faux pumpkins to the mantel.
Some more pine cone filler to the wood tote on the coffee table.
By the front door, I changed out my faux lilacs for some faux Fall flowers in the tote.
And one of Kristen’s swags for my birdcage right around the corner from this hall tree.
Except for adding in some real pumpkins in October, that’s it for me for Fall!

Wow, you really went to town! It's all I can do to do my fall decorating in increments. Figure I'll be done just about the time it's time to decorate for Christmas! Yours are beautiful.
Kathy, I am loving all of your fall accents!! You've got me motivated to get in my dining room and get busy! All of your touches are just perfect!
You've gotten a lot done! Your first fall there, isn't it?

So pretty Kathy! I love those soft pumpkins! I keep meaning to make some every year but never have time. Also love the soup tureen and the wreath on the lampshade
Can't pick a fave. Nice job, Kathy. It's feeling fall-like here today. We're in the low 60's.
So pretty, Kathy! Your brown transferware is gorgeous. I really loved how your little table came out too, will have to try that technique sometime! Great inspiration :)
xo, Andrea
Love your fall decor...you've been very busy..looks great
Kathy, Everything looks beautiful and I adore the cute pumpkins.
Love all of the fall accents you added. I agree, it is hard to get into the fall spirit when it is still so warm out. We are finally cooling off here in Colorado so it is starting to feel like fall. YAY to that!

LOVE all your Fall goodies, and yes, we have the same grape tureen. Marty has the same one too! that transferware cup really sets the mood! xo
Your home definitely looks ready for Fall. I really like that big white tureen! It's all so pretty :)
I just "favorited" Timewashed on Etsy because of your post! Those pumpkins are adorable, and she has such cute items in the shop!
I haven't started decorating for fall yet. It's just now getting cool, so maybe that will inspire me to get busy. :)
Love a love a love!~ Such pretty vignettes Kathy. Yes, keeping it simple for the same reason...I love Halloween and will probably be doing some fun stuff then.
I hear you about the "hot" fall decor. :) But your home looks fabulous! I love the chicken wire cloches.
