FALL IS ALMOST HERE

I have to tell you, I only started decorating for Fall three years ago, which is about the time I started blogging.

Until then, my home stayed about the same all year until we started decorating for Christmas, a reason for that was the fact that I worked long hours outside the home and also because, truthfully, I had no idea what to do. :)

But then I was introduced to your blogs and your beautiful seasonal decor and I decided to try my hand at it.

Little by little I have been collecting some items, either bought or homemade by me and although I don't have much, every year I add a little to my collection.

My first year was very simple.

First thing I did was to make two pillows for the breakfast table. I have used those same pillows every year since.

 I used some Fall place mats to decorate the table and a very small centerpiece from Kirklands.

I also added Fall garland to the lamp.

 I set up the kitchen island with some simple plates and a few Fall items.

And my mantle was very, very simple. :)

My front porch also got a few touches.

The second year I got a little more involved decorating the house for Fall.

This time I started with the outdoor decor first.

And then moved on to decorating the kitchen.
That was the year I made my first burlap runner, which I used for the kitchen island with a Fall vignette.

And since the kitchen and family room area are all open space, I also decorated the mantle.

Last year was the first year I really preplanned all my fall decor. I still used most of my old decor from previous years, but I spent many hours in my craft room sewing, stenciling and making wreaths. 
It was fun, but not so much when it was time to put it all away. :)

Inside our home, I also used the same decor I had, but just changed things around and made some new burlap items to give the house a different look.

And here is the Fall 2013 decor in the family room and mantle.

And for this year, well, I do NOT have a plan, no idea what I am going to do, as they say back home, NADA! :)

I hope this post gives you a little inspiration to start decorating for the Fall season that is just seems to be coming faster and faster. As for me, I am counting on you and your blogs to get me started this year. LOL

Thank you all for visiting.
See you soon!
