Early Fall Decorating

I'm always excited for the approach of a new season!  As the nights have gotten cooler, I acquired the itch to start decorating for the upcoming autumn season! We had a blast this summer, with so many fun memories, but I'm looking forward to everything ahead of us this fall. Football, cider, and crock pot meals await & my house needed a little sprucing up. 

During summer, our great room (living/dining/kitchen) is decorated in shades of white, red, and blue-- with an almost coastal motif. Now I've swapped out the red and blue, and added in bits of warm neutrals and browns. There's even a couple pops of orange (we're Georgia fans- it's hard to add orange to a room!).

Sometimes our mantle can look so stark, even with decor on the ledge. After seeing an image on Pinterest, I decided I could easily do some DIY bunting myself.  The bunting was super easy to make and cost relatively nothing, since I purchased the fabric in the remnants section of Joann's. It really warms up the space and gives a fun pop of whimsy! 

Here's an image of our mantle.  

Please disregard husband's sub woofer, sub woofer cord, and enormous surround sound box.

Close up of the fabric, sage ticking stripe (used sideways) and neutral paisley. Strung with brown string. Wicker pumpkin purchased new from Joann's. Pumpkin people are a college-house gift from my mom. 

Clock from summer clearance at Kohl's, carafe and poppy bouquet from Joann's. 

Have you spruced up your house for fall? I'd love to see some of your decor. Post your link!
