Fall in Shafferland

 

The “ber” months have arrived, so even though the weather clings to warmth, it was time to decorate the house for fall. I’ve simplified our fall décor over the years, and it feels (finally) representative of our style! Plus, so many of these pieces hold stories of significance, and that matters to me.

                When we pulled the fading summer flowers out of the planters to make room for mums, I saved a few of the funky green sprigs for these bottles on the dining room table. Free decorations!

                Our new fireplace received a fall makeover. (Found that pumpkin at a garage sale a few years ago.)

                This pumpkin was a gift from a women’s retreat group. It was their craft project, and they gifted me the sample. I think of them every year when I decorate. I loved their retreat. Ryan and I had a little cottage all to ourselves, the retreat center was on a lake, and I ate the best cinnamon roll of my life at one of their breakfasts.

                This sign in our main bathroom is one of my best thrift store impulse buys. I love it.

                Some flowers in Lexi’s room. Over time I’d love to tone down the color of my fall flowers. But a little brightness never hurt, right?

                Some flowers in our room, paired with our photos from last fall. We’re about a month out from fall photos rolling around again, and I’m excited to see what they look like this year!

                This little vignette is new this year. I thrifted this stand this summer, and I found these little pumpkins at the flower stand last weekend. The jars were Dollar General finds, and I filled them with tiny snacks: pumpkin seeds and peanuts. I should add some ribbon around the jars for some color!

                 A little fall on the shelf above the stairway:

                A couple of pieces downstairs:

                This is new this year! My sister gifted it to me this summer. Her sister-in-law made it for her Etsy shop and Lori gave it to us as a thank you for hosting them when they stayed here. I love it!

                I’ve had this little sign for years and put it in my bathroom to remind me how to begin my days!

                I just added a couple little pieces to our living room, and now it feels complete!

                The leaves have already started falling and blowing into our yard, we planted mums in the planters in front of the garage, and we put this cute little pillow on our glider.

                Welcome, fall!
