Happy Fall, Y’all!
I’ve got a little holiday decorating eye candy for you today via Pinterest.
Truth be told, I’ve done no fall decorating minus our non-fall-themed fall mantel.
But, the time has come, and I’m motivated and excited to start decorating for the holidays. I’m hoping to get a jump on a simple Thanksgiving tablescape this weekend.
I stopped by my friend’s Stephanie’s beautiful home last night, and her porch looked almost identical to the one above. I could hardly step off her porch and make my way back to my car. I just imagined it were all on my bare porch…done and beautiful. I love the wild, organic placement and feel of the design. If only I could find some heirloom pumpkins around here.
A girl can dream.
Look at these lovely Thanksgiving printables designed by Lindi at Love The Day. Remember? She designed the vintage lipstick printables for Ava’s birthday party this year.
There are many, many glitter pumpkins out there this year, but these from Twig & Thistle are unbelievably dreamy.
I love a cute kids’ table, and this one is adorable. Creating special spaces for our children is one of the most rewarding design we’ll be a part of. And the drawn place mats? SO perfect.
And speaking of the kids, I can’t wait to try out this fun fall craft with them. Q-tip painting = a fall tree!
I’ve expressed my undying love for the Christmas holidays before, and it seems to grow each year my little ones get older. I cannot wait to pull out the tree, hang the garland, and start burning the Christmas tree candles.
Add a little Bing Crosby & a cup of homemade cider and I’m good to go.
This year, I’m drawn to simple and classic decor….natural garlands, a few touches of sparkle, and holiday color. This image is everything I want Christmas to be in our home…beautiful & timeless, but more importantly, an extension of our everyday.
I am absolutely itching to style our built ins for the holidays! I love the boxwood wreaths, ornaments sprinkled about, and of course, the vintage books.
This is quite a tree, and probably not one I can pull off with Ava the destroyer (I call herself lovingly) running around at my ankles, but it soooo has me dreaming of flocked tree goodness. And knowing we have zero chance of snow from now til never, it appeals to me even more.
Matt will kill me.
Maybe not; I think he kinda likes me.
*come back later today for the announcement of our two winners from the Simple Starfish giveaway!!
What a lovely inspiring share. The Christmas tree captured me completely.
Have a beautiful weekend.

In my head, my porch looks the same as your picture…I dream too;)
Love the simple rustic Cristmas look…so beautiful!! Can’t wait to get started on that…
Ahh…all the builders should be out of the house by the holidays. We’ll really go all out this year :0) Q-tip painting! Brilliant!
Great post! So many lovely ideas for the holidays. It is always fun to visit your terrific blog. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful weekend.
After circling, starring and all but destroying my Pottery Barn catalog the other day I’m DIEING to decorate for Christmas!!! I know if I’m going to do some diy projects I better start them this month, but it goes against my incredibly strict rule of no Christmasy stuff until AFTER Thanksgiving!!
I just heard that Nordstrom’s has a rule of no Christmas decorations or sales until after Thanksgiving too and I think that’s awesome of them. The mall down the street already decorated for Christmas 2 weeks ago….
Shaunna – these images are beautiful!! I am so inspired to get crackin’ on my holiday decorating!! Thanks for sharing! – Becky
I love all of them. They’re so cozy!
Sigh. If I only had more time! Love these, especially those glitter pumpkins!
Thank goodness! Finally Christmas stuff.
I am so sick of pumpkins and I wish we could just bypass the whole thanksgiving decor thing too.
Ohhh ~ LOVE seriously every single one of these! I was practically swooning when I saw that garland on the stairs! I can’t wait to check out the kid’s table ideas too. I’m definitely feeling quite”festive” this year and just can’t wait to get on to decorating for Thanksgiving and Christmas! Thanks for sharing.
I too can’t wait for Christmas decorating. I’m changing things up a bit this year, you’ve inspired me. I’ve decided to use black/silver decor left over from my daughters July wedding. So many lovelies on your sight. Now I have to go back and check them out again.
thanks for featuring one of my photos
I always have trouble hanging my garland down my stairs. How many loops do you recommend?
Thanks,
Ann
