Fall.

Cooler weather has immensely increased my desire to 1) eat comfort food and 2) decorate our house so that it feels über cozy and festive in preparation for the chilly months ahead…

Unfortunately these things aren’t working so well for me. 1) I’m trying to stay away from stuffing my face with all kinds of delicious warm foods for sake of my waist line and 2) we have very little ‘decor’ to begin with, so I can’t really re-purpose things to make them ‘feel like fall’.

Nevertheless, here are some ideas I’m in love with for fall that incorporate things you have in your house with minor seasonal details – you know, so you aren’t spending tons of money on things for fall that are going to have to be stowed away for an entire year once winter rolls around…

A simple table runner (or several layered runners – I can’t tell), hurricane candle holder, coffee beans and some brown ribbon make this dining room perfectly seasonal and simple! I also love how this isn’t too casual or overly formal.

Love that these incorporate wheat, acorns, twigs and leaves. I think these would be great clustered together on a mantle or as a centerpiece on a lesser used table.

Love these – clustered together on a tray that’s sitting on an ottoman or end table. Clearly I need some little bundles of wheat in my life right now…

Love how much color this natural wreath has!

So – there you have it. Some ideas for fall decorating that I’m hoping to eventually incorporate into our home!
