Fall 2011: Simple Decorating Ideas
Welcome — it’s great to have you here. I’m on day five of a 31-day series about getting inspired for the season and upcoming holidays. I began with a few simple fall decorating ideas and over the month will share tips for preparing for guests, setting holiday tables, early Christmas projects, and some crafty gift ideas.
I don’t do a lot of fall decorating; I prefer small seasonal touches that blend with my everyday style. I’ve already shown my mantel and generally keep things uncomplicated. Simple decorating helps me shift into the nesting mood and reminds me of the cozy parts of the season I look forward to.

Late-season hydrangeas from the yard tucked into a tarnished teapot for a relaxed, vintage feel.
Apothecary display filled with potpourri, pine cones, nuts and moss.
Small gourds quietly placed around the mantel for a seasonal touch.
Green apples displayed under a glass dome create a fresh, simple vignette.
