Late Fall 2023 Home Decor

 I can't believe fall is almost gone already.... Where did the days go? I don't know if you can relate as well but the months of fall just flew by. It's not that the weather was so bad or cold. It wasn't rainy as it had been so much in years past but still the season has disappeared right before my eyes. Knowing the winter days are coming, I still wanted to bring in some fall decor for late fall before the holiday cheer begins to adorn the house. 

I chose to only add littler touches here and there like these tin pilgrims on the kitchen counter surrounding a bowl of fruit kept in a MacKenzie Childs bowl.

On the island counter, I again only added touches of light-colored fall florals into a MacKenzie Childs pitcher and a few faux pumpkins in white. I like the airy effect it gave. 

On the side table in the kitchen entry, I used a patinaed champagne bucket to display more lighter fall florals and foliage to brighten the area. 

Into the dining room on the buffet, I carried the same color scheme over using these gorgeous tall candle stick holders and my gold pheasants I had bought a few years ago now at Hobby Lobby.

I kept it simple on the dining table as well, only using this beaded turkey runner with my large cornucopia and some thrifted candlestick holders shaped like haystacks. 

On the mantle, the same light-colored florals are adorned with a few pheasant feathers also tucked in. 

Into the living area, Coco and Dante are cozying up on the lighter throws I changed out to along with sage green pillow covers. 

I had to have a nod to my outdoor squirrels in the home somewhere, so chose to add them here with a few decorative gold acorns. 

To the other side of the front door, I changed out the florals of tall sunflowers to again include lighter shades and a little glitz while balancing the top with antlers, florals, and feathers as well. 

After all of my disturbances today around the house changing things out, Coco decided that the whole process was just too much for her and that it was time for a nap!

What changes have you made around your home to celebrate the changing seasons? Let me know down in the comments....

November is for Remembering

 As fall winds down and heads into the holiday season, we wade through November. I like to think of November as a time of year to reflect on the past year before all the hustle and bustle of the coming holiday season. November is life at a slower pace still and the perfect time for reflection. As the New Year is for looking ahead, November to me is for looking back. 

Two main holidays within the month even emphasize this point. Veteran's Day reminds us of the sacrifices so many have made for our freedoms here in the US and Thanksgiving is for reflecting on everything we should be grateful for. 

November's Bucket List:

• Slow down and spend time reflecting on all that I accomplished this year.
• Make a list to remind myself of everything I have to be grateful for.
• Spend Thanksgiving with family and friends.
