I tried to feel some coolness by starting on my fall decor inside. Outside will have to wait with the summer flowers still going strong.
 |
| This is the table scape I made in whites and creams for the center of my dining room table. |
 |
| Remember my little chippy chair transformation. |
 |
| It needed a little Fall decor. Do you see where I got bold and added the bright yellow fall leaves!!!! Ha Ha I am rebel with adding some color to the white neutral fall decor!!! |
 |
| I added some small white boo pumpkins to my sideboard light. |
 |
| Added some Brown Eyed Susan's to the vintage garden basket on the old shutter |
 |
| Added some cream dried hydrangeas to the our nest sign in the entry way. |
 |
| Added some cream and white mums to the old flower gathering basket hanging on the hall tree. |
 |
| Added some flowering crab apple stems to another gathering basket at the front door. |
 |
| Have to give a big shout out to Becky at Time Washed for this cute pumpkin she made and I bought. I loved the colors she used in this one and how it really matched in the living room. If you have not been to Becky's beautiful blog or her Etsy shop you must jump over there and check out all her cute fall decor. |
 |
| Stuck that beautiful pumpkin in an old chippy urn. |
 |
| Added some baby boos and fall flowers to the top of the TV cabinet for some fall color. |
 |
| Then I tried to do up the arrangement on top of my coffee table. Still was feeling too fussy and too much. |
 |
| So I tried it up on the TV cabinet again. This time I put the fall flowers and decor over to the side more. I tired to give you an up close shot so it looks a little crowded but when you stand back and look at the whole cabinet it does not look so crowded. |
 |
| Even though they are saying 95 today I tried to get some fall up inside. There is a saying here in Chicago that goes like this, "If you do not like our weather here just wait 5 minutes and it will change"!!! They are now saying by Friday the high will only be 60!!!! So we will melt today going out the door today but by Friday we will need a sweater!!!! Hope your weather is nice where you are. Have a great week. Kris :) |

Kris,
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so fallish and charming at the same time. I see that you have some cream color sunflowers...I got some at Joann's last week for a fall wreath (just gotta find some time to make it). Enjoy the cooler temps this weekend...we will be in the low 80's.
Blessings,
Linda
81 at present with a high of 89. I am wishing for some 70"s :-)
ReplyDeleteLuv all your Fall decor Kris. All the little pumpkins and florals. Beautiful!!!
Everything, and I mean everything, looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI just learned the name, boo pumpkins. They have some in the stores this week. But, I am going to make one of the cloth pumpkins today. I found a tutorial on another blog today and that will be my project. I figure if I make varying sizes, they will carry me through Thanksgiving.
I am also going to copy your idea of the hanging baskets. I think I can hang one on the fireplace screen for now. We won't have a fire until mid October.
Don't melt!
you made some very pretty flower arrangments and centerpieces.
ReplyDeleteOur weather will be the same here in Ohio, Kris! It's funny, they have that same saying here! : ) Your Fall décor looks great. I love the white pumpkins. I love Becky's pumpkins! I have a few of those myself. I'm looking forward to decorating for Fall, but I'm figuring at least another week or two before I get myself up to the attic to get my bins.
ReplyDeleteLove your fall display...my favorite season!! Stopping by from Prodigal Pieces. :o) Would love it if you link up to my party beginning on Sept. 24th: http://www.prodigalpieces.com/2013/09/come-join-partywhats-your-prodigal-piece.html
ReplyDeleteLarissa ~ Prodigal Pieces
Love all your changes....we are also getting in the 90's today and tomorrow and then a cool down.........its just crazy!!!
ReplyDeleteOh I love all your little fall embellishments. I love your space with the stool and little bar area.. Cute Cute Cute.
ReplyDeleteWe're having the same weather here in Ontario and talk about a yoyo! I think your fall decor is just lovely, and I'm crazy about your birdhouses.
ReplyDeleteHi Kris!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I visit your blogg I absolutely LOVE what I see. I´m speechless. So beautiful. If only I could make such lovely decorations.
Huggs and kisses,
Erica
Very beautiful...
ReplyDeleteI bought a cloth pumpkin at a vintage shop. And now, I'm seeing them all over the place.
Thank you, for your sweet comment.
Kris I love what you did with the old chair it is just charming now.
ReplyDeleteYou're so lucky you got that weather break, no such luck here in the South. I love all the Fall touches scattered about your home, I love the cream and white pumpkins, right up my ally. Not a fan of typical orange pumpkins although I do decorate with them sometime. The touches of color you have added really enhance the creams and whites and don't take away from them at all. Once again you have created so much loveliness in your home Kris.
ReplyDeleteI love your fall decors. Your pumpkins are very beautiful and shining. I adore the bird houses and the decors on the shabby chair are just gorgeous
ReplyDeleteKisses
Alessandra
Hot and humid here in NY today too Kris:(
ReplyDeleteLove all your pretty Fall touches!
it all looks lovely, kris! love becky's pumpkin, too! i'm trying to find some blue pumpkins, but, so far-nothing. the weather is crazy, huh?
ReplyDeleteYou see - you CAN have a white fall - I knew it!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks gorgeous Kris - love the white pumpkins
Need to paint a few of them myself this year!
XOXO
Kris- I am just smitten with how beautifully your bring Autumn into your house with a neutral palette. Everything looks just gorgeous. I think I have to do color one more year for the kids here for the Holdays and then will head towards the neutrals after the first of the year. You give me wonderful ideas here. I could just sink into a chair there and feel like I was at home- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteKris, your touches of fall are SO pretty! (Even if it's in the 90's-ha!)
ReplyDeleteEspecially love the 'brown eyed Susans'...hmmm, wonder why? ;)
Susan
You fall decor is absolutely gorgeous. I love your taste. I would love for you to come and link this up to my Fall into Fall party going on right now. Hope to see you there. http://diybydesign.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI like your neutral fall decor, Kris! It's very soothing and pretty.
ReplyDeleteMary Alice
Every thing is just so...adorable!
ReplyDeletePatty at Home and Lifestyle Design
Looks great! I am such a color addict that I can't pull off a white palette, but your use of textures and different natural objects is so pretty and successful! I love the white sunflowers with the white pumpkins especially,
ReplyDeleteJenna
Kris...I love how you've decorated for fall without all the screaming orange. I can't have that with my pastels either. Thank goodness for white and gray pumpkins! I just love everything, the little chair you decorated is just too cute. I am really coveting those white sunflowers, please tell me where I can get my little hands on some!!
ReplyDeleteI think we have one more day of this wretched weather. Today with the heat and wind it felt like a furnace blowing hot air. Ugh. :(
XO,
Jane
Your Fall decor is coming along beautifully! I haven't begun and probably will only decorate a little outside since I know we have a lot of work ahead of us in the months to come! I adore white pumpkins! I don't ever think I have seen white brown-eyed susans but they are GORGEOUS!!! Great Look with them hanging on the shutters! The weather is going to cool off in the next few days....YEAH! Blessings~~~Roxie
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love the whites, and the pumpkin from Timewashed is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh Kris - love your fall decorations - everything looks perfect. Hope you get some cooler weather soon. We have had two days of pleasant weather but tomorrow back to the high 90's but with no humidity. ug
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Mary
Your Fall touches are just beautiful!! I need you to come help me decorate for Fall. It was in the low 90's here today and it is going to 90 again tomorrow...but 67 by Friday. I'm so ready for the cooler days of Fall.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Cindy
Your fall décor is so beautiful...love the vignette on your dining room table with the little stool.....so pretty! Hopefully we will get cooler weather soon because I am over these 100* temps! I haven't even begun to think about fall it has been so hot.....
ReplyDelete~Des
Ha! you're way ahead of me! And it looks wonderful Kris. I haven't found any baby boos yet. Love them.
ReplyDeleteHi Kris
ReplyDeleteAs usual you've absolutely taken my breath away with your GORGEOUS displays! I Love, love, love the way that you guys in America go to so much trouble to celebrate what you call 'Fall', here in the UK no one really makes a thing of it, such a shame!
Speak soon
Judi in the UK
Love all your displays....and that pumpkin....seriously!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for inspiring me today!
karianne
OMG Kris, I am loving what you have done with your fall touches. They are all gorgeous but what you did with the chair and that shutter just grabbed me. You are my superstar!!!!
ReplyDeleteCynthia
Hi Kris,
ReplyDeleteI came back to show that I really love your style. How I wish I could come and grab some your blings *LoL (joke).
I am your new follower too and I will link you blog, so I won't miss a post (ever) again.
Cheers,
/CC girl
Gorgeous!!! You have feathered your nest to perfection :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the inspiration . . . love Becky's pumpkin, too.
Everything is so pretty.
Everything looks so wonderful. My favorite is the chippy chair. I can't believe I passed one up last week because it was $15.00. Now I think that was actually a pretty good price. I doubt very much it will still be there. We are hitting high temps this week, too. First frost is due this Sunday. Crazy weather.
ReplyDelete*Smiles*
Kris, Thanks for your inspirational touches of Fall. In San Diego the weather has been very hot for the last month. I've been outside trying to keep all the plants happy. But, looking at your beautiful house has motivated me to start thinking of Fall. I love your boo pumpkins, so cute!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jody
Wow, I'm blown away by your beautiful home! So pretty and you definitely have a knack for creating beautiful vignettes. I especially love the bird houses.
ReplyDeleteMarie@InteriorFrugalista
Great fall decorations, Kris! I know what you mean. It's really hot here too so difficult to get into a fall mood, but the weather will change and before we know it, we'll all be wanting spring back. It sure seems like it went by quickly! Enjoy your decorating! Hugs, Leena
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - as always!
ReplyDeleteJudy
Your fall decorations are coming together so prettily! Is that a word!?! I love the pumpkin from Becky at Time Washed. Where is our in between weather??? Nancy
ReplyDeleteI like the word prettily. If is not a word maybe you just invented one. I like it. Thanks for your sweet comments.
DeleteKris
lovely Fall decor Kris. I always love my visits to your warm and cozy home!
ReplyDeleteit's all so beautiful, Kris. love that basket full of "susans", and your wonderful table centerpiece!
ReplyDeleteOMG, I just love your take on fall colors. It looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Blessings Paula
ReplyDeleteKris, I am so excited to tell you. That chippy white chair I mentioned in the earlier comments was still at the thrift shop! My sister drove me back to the shop and it was still there a week later. It was just meant to be. Now I am going to decorate it somewhat like the one you did. I just had to tell you. I am so excited.
ReplyDelete*Smiles*
Everything looks so beautiful:)
ReplyDeleteFrancine
Beautiful, just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I'm going to try these colors this year instead of the traditional colors. Found you through Share your Cup Thursday party.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous splashes of Fall! I love your shelves and the way you've styled them ... and, the pop of yellow looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteyour vignette made me feel inspired. Had to laugh at your weather as we were happy to read our LOW will be 60 by Friday here in Texas. The low all week has been in the high 70's!
ReplyDeleteI sure enjoy looking over your sweet vignettes! I add a few ambers and rust to my white in fall. I prefer the quieter tones for the most part too. Love Becky's pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteAs usual, your home and decor are just delightful! Thanks so much, Kris, for giving my blog and shop a shout out! So glad you are enjoying your pumpkin!! It looks wonderful amongst your other pretties! It was a joy to create!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day, sweetie!
Becky

Oh Kris, your home is looking as amazing as ever! In Oz we are going into Spring, but we still get really cold days, and then Summer heat the next. I love Autumn though, all the pretty leaves!
ReplyDeleteLove the soft and gentle look to your autumn decor - you did an amazing job! I do appreciate you sharing with Home and Garden Thursday,
ReplyDeleteKathy
Kris I love all of your fall touches! Thanx so much for joining THT.
