Autumn house tour

Finally, my house is completely decorated for Autumn. Join me for an Autumn house tour!

The softer light of Autumn makes for nice pictures, I think.  Everything feels less harsh in the Fall!

Here you can see the seating area to the right of the front door.  The front porch is one of my favorite parts of this house.

I'm always so glad to have some real pumpkins--and don't you just love the little Hubbard squash?

Autumn is my favorite time to relax on the porch--especially these last few days before the end of Daylight Savings Time.

The autumn leaf pillows were a super-simple accessory to make; you can read about those here.

And now inside, where I kept things pretty simple this year.

In years past I've done various things on the dining room table.  This year, the simplicity of the mercury glass pumpkins appealed to me.

The living room I kept pretty simple, too.  A few candles, autumn leaves, and acorns adorn the coffee table.

The jug on the coffee table is very similar in color as this tiny Hubbard squash I added to the mantel. God's the very best color designer, isn't He?

Of course the living room has plenty soft seating for Cocoa and Snickers, who think they own the place.

Just a few pumpkins and some fall flowers on my mother's dough cabinet make it feel fallish in the breakfast room.  

Adjacent to the breakfast room is the screened porch, where the fall decor goes nicely with the aqua and orange things I added back in the spring.

This harvest basket was easy to create with pine cones, acorns, berries, and fall fruits.  It sits happily on an old sugar bag.

I'm awfully glad it was easy to create, to tell the truth.  I picked it up and set it aside one night so that a group of friends could eat at this table--and I forgot all about it until the next afternoon when I heard some suspicious crunching.  Here's what I found:

Caught red-handed!  Or red-pawed.  Whatever.  Anyway, the centerpiece was easy to re-create, so no lasting harm was done.

Hope you've enjoyed this little tour.  I'm sharing it at these wonderful parties:
