Fall Is Up...Mostly

I absolutely LOVE fall!  I think it's the most beautiful time of year.  Even though we get it a bit late here in Southern California, I decorate early;)  So I started with our kitchen table.


I've had these little pumpkin bowls for years and yes, we use them all the time.  As the weather cools, I cook more soups and stews and these bowls serve up hearty portions.



Here's a picture of the kitchen aglow.  It's so nice to have a ceiling again.  Since it was exposed, Scott installed three mini pendants.  I love them!  There is such a nice glow at night.  We also got a new chandelier for the kitchen which matches everything so much better now.

And I started decorating the mantle.


Here's a picture of it at night.  I added a string of white lights and a pumpkin basket filled with pine cones we collected during out camping trip.


I still have two more cabinets to decorate before the family room is finished.  It's hard to believe I still haven't gotten through all of my fall containers in the garage.

  3. So pretty! I love fall, too. Why not go ahead and get a head start, even if it is still hot outside? :)

    Love the photo of the kitchen "aglow." Such a charming thought!

  4. Your home looks beautiful. I live in California also and it is still very warm. However, it is nice to bring the warm tones of fall in.
