Home Decor, Late September

As much as I love seasonal decorating, I have to be careful not to do too much too soon or it will drive me crazy.  I am slowly putting summer away and bringing Fall into focus.

Do you have a lantern, maybe on your porch or patio?  They look so great full of anything.  Fill it full of dried or real fruit, vegetables, pumpkins or gourds, and even though this is not a new idea,  yours will be unique with your things and touches.   If you don’t have a lantern, use a tray or a large vase, compote or bowl.  The key here is texture and color.  Late September to me is muted tones, creams, browns, yellows and soft greens and just a hint of orange.  I like to save orange for Halloween~

Burlap is a decorator’s best friend right now.  It is available in so many forms and colors and it instantly adds a fall feel and an on trend touch.

I cut a length of burlap ribbon and tied a loose half knot through the ring on top of this lantern and tucked a length of pumpkin ribbon through the center.  I let both ribbons hang down and wind through the pieces spilling out of the lantern

Fall abundance? Opening your door to Fall?  Surely there is a deep heavy message here!

    Clever idea! The use of your lantern with the fall pieces tumbling out on the table is beautiful. The little owl adds a whimsical accent! Thanks for sharing!

  2. Looks great … giving me good ideas … have some bird cages that I can use, but the lantern would look much better.

    I will use this idea of filling a lantern – your arrangement on the glass table looks great and that owl is adorable.

    I love the textures and colors of your centerpiece! I wish I had a large lantern! I have several small ones, but you really need a larger scale for gourds and pumpkins. I enjoyed the colors you used, too!

    The owl is so adorable. This is the first year I got an owl decoration for the house. I also put my pumpkins and mums outside. I love decorating for the fall!

    Howdy! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with Search Engine Optimization?
    I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good success.

    If you know of any please share. Cheers!
