Fall is here - in case you didn't already know!
In the Chicagoland area, the change was pretty abrupt - 80's one day and 60's the next, but it's all good with me because this is my favorite time of year.
Of course, I couldn't wait until October to start bringing the fall decor out.
Best place to start - the entryway.
Second best place to start - the mantel!
This year I decided to add my wood shaving wreath to the mix. It's hung by a ribbon, which is tied to the picture wire on the back of the mirror. I'm loving the added texture and interest to the mirror!
My birch candles have made a reappearance from last fall/winter.
As well as my pineapple planter filled with ivy.
You know I love a little pop of green!
My white ceramic pumpkins, which appeared in the dining room last year, have moved to the living room mantel. Adding a bit of fall without being too over the top or predictably orange.
All I need now is a roaring fire!
If you follow me on Facebook, you know we've already had our first fire of the season - I can't wait for the second!
What about you, have you started bringing fall into your home?

How did the word "mantle" get forgotten? :)
Great fall mantle. The wreath adds a lot of texture to the mirror.
You're inspiring me! You know I am a little more overboard than you with the fall/Halloween, but you're inspiring me to get my butt in motion!
Just lovely. I admire how you achieved 'Fall' w/o the expected colors. That wreath is to-die-for!
