It's Fall, Y'all!



It's Fall in the Zimmer household, never mind that it's been 80's degrees all week! I got in the mood to do my fall decorating, and had fun adding new details.


The mantel in the living room is pretty much the same every year. I use a fall swag with an Autumn sign ($5 at Crafts Direct:) behind it, pumpkins on my candlesticks, and small fall picks throughout.

I made this scrapbook page and keep in a frame that sits on an antique dresser in our dining room.
This is my $30 bakers rack in the dining room. I had bought the picture frame at an antique's store for $2. I used scrapbook paper to make it "fallie":) The red bucket I also got at an antique's store for $2. I did add some fall ribbon to it after I had taken the pic.


I just love this piece, I also hung my fall sign that I made above the rack.



This wreath hangs on my door year round, it's just intertwined twigs with some berries, so for every season I decorate it up:)



And this is the porch, loved how it turned out, I added a fall inspired wooden bowl to the egg crate, some leaves, and a scarecrow welcome sign.


That's it, I hope you enjoyed my fall "tour"!! I am linking up to Cheri's Holiday Fall Decor
and Transformation Thursday over at The Shabby Chic Cottage, and DIY Fall Festival over at the DIY Showoff:) And also Rhondi's Welcome Fall party, and Rhoda's Fall Party at Southern Hospitality

Love your fall decor. My favorite is the front porch. Love, love, love the red bench. It's perfect for fall.

Thanks for posting, Cara. I love your idea about the "interchangeable" wreath! Have a fun fall!

Everything looks lovely - the mantle, porch, mums etc.! I love the pumpkins on the candlesticks! We're still seeing some 90's here, which is typical for Mississippi. This week has been rainy, so we've seen a little lower temps. I am going to get my fall decorations out this week-end! I hope everything turns out as pretty as yours!

Many blessings!

You've given me some great ideas... Particularly the'autumn' sign. We just happened to find a scroll saw at a garage sale last weekend and I think that's the sort of thing you could cut out with it. I could cut out all 4 seasons! Thanks so much for sharing. It all looks terrific!
