Natural Fall Decor

We’re still hitting ninety degrees on the thermometer down here, so I’ve been a little slow in putting up our Fall decorations. We managed a fire in our fire pit last night, but we couldn’t sit too close!

I’ve brought in a few autumn touches over the past week, though. My daughter and I picked up a few Cinderella-type heirloom pumpkins and stacked them on the front porch:

Our front door looks too busy with anything on it, so I layered my door bucket over the vintage window.

The Spanish moss is off the trees in front of our house–how cool is that? I am thankful to some new friends who are Savannah-born-and-bred, who cautioned me not to bring said moss into the house, and to beware of the tiny bugs that live in it. I think I can microwave it, though, to kill all the creepy crawlies?

Stepping into our front hall, there’s more moss (but this came out of a bag from the craft store):

The thrift store mirror was originally gold, I painted it in {this} post.

And the antique sugar mold (turned candle holder) is from the Nashville flea market. Read about that epic shopping journey {here}.

I gave the dining room table some fall touches, too, with some natural-colored pumpkins under a cloche (cloche and white plates on rack: HomeGoods)…

…And some turkey salt and pepper shakers:

I also added a stack of white dessert plates. We seem to have lots of company down here, which is great, so I like to be prepared!

The neutral colors in our house {see our color choices here} make it easy to change decorating schemes for different holidays. And since someone always asks if I don’t link to it, here’s the tutorial for how I painted, recovered, and monogrammed our dining room chairs.
