Modern Fall Decor Round Up and GIveaway WINNER

My "boo-hum-bugs" started to get the better of me this week, and I realized tis time to open up my eyes to other ways of incorporating fall decor beyond the standard cornucopia of orange, browns and reds.

There really isn't a lot out there in Pinterestville that pleases my eye, but these images have me almost ready to pick up some pumpkins and twigs on my way home (and I never thought I would say that!)

This table setting above warms my heart. To me, it is the perfect conception of "fall" with a little pumpkin spiced dessert spread, chalkboard menus, and crisp, neutral florals. Parfait!

If you're somewhat colour averse like me, you may appreciate the monochromatic tones of this pumpkin mantlescape and hydrangea wreath. It looks very fresh to me and doesn't make my brain go crazy with thoughts of stabbing pumpkins and acorns.

This is another set of tablescape ideas that just does it for me. I feel like blending rustic and modern creates that perfect fall vibe. Hopefully I will have my own rustic table top soon that I can place some hydrangeas and white dishware on!

Last but not least, this is about as "themed" as it would ever go for me. Ok, perhaps scratch the fabric pumpkins in the centerpiece; I would probably never take the time to do that. But I do LOVE the wood charger (brilliant idea if you know how to work a saw!), and the calligraphy-ed burlap runner (hmmm, I sense a DIY coming on!), and the chalkboard place card. The mini gourds are small (yay!), white (hoorah!), inexpensive (woot woot) and disposable (hip hip hooray!), so I could probably push myself to go there as well.

Have you found any spins on fall decor that you're loving lately?

Oh, and I almost forgot, but it's time to announce the winner of the Carrerra bracelet!

  1. Hi Jen! I definitely lean towards the neutral Fall colors. I did my mantel in brown and white for Fall this year. I'm not so big on all the traditional Fall colors in my home either. Love what you found on pinterest!

  2. Love all your images, very soft and I could totally see them in your house. Gettin' twiggy with it this weekend maybe?? Don't hate me but I snipped a few branches with gorgeous red leaves yesterday and put them in a vase. At least they are from nature, right?!

    Hope you have a great weekend!

  3. Haha, I love that you posted this and I just posted about my Fall front door after talking about how much we disliked Fall decor. Too funny.... we're regressing from our anti-seasonal stance. I think I'm okay with it if I keep it neutral and make it fit with what I've already got. In the past, I thought I had to go with traditional Fall colours too and you are right - not necessary!! Time to step outside the box ;)
