In this post: Fall Entry Decor: Sometimes Simple is Best. Just a few simple touches and natural elements bring a touch of fall to a small entry.
Sometimes simple is best. This year my fall entry decor is just that…simple, quick, inexpensive. The stairway was dressed with dried hydrangea blooms in vintage pitchers. Each pitcher was paired with a mini orange pumpkin. Even if orange isn’t your favorite, a small dose brings in a festive fall pop of color. This look can take you from early fall all the way through Thanksgiving.
Fall Entry Decor Tip:
Make sure to prepare your real gourds/pumpkins so they don’t mold and turn nasty.

If you want to create a look similar to this one but don’t have dried hydrangeas, it would work beautifully to substitute faux hydrangeas, fresh/faux greenery or even another type of dried flower. I almost bought several bunches of dried wheat and then talked myself out of it in favor of the hydrangeas…but wheat would be a lovely choice as well.

My “Gather Here” stenciled pillow cover has moved since I first shared it. It started out on the porch but is now resting on the entry chair. It was a last minute addition to my fall entry decor but I think it’s perfect. I have to admit that every time I go up or down the stairway, it brings a smile to my face.

Even if you don’t like to go all out with fall decor, a sprinkling of tiny pumpkins is an easy and inexpensive way to bring a touch of autumn into your home. Thank you, as always, for spending a bit of your day with me. Best wishes for a wonderful week!

Friday, November 4, 2016 at 1:19 pmI am a subscriber to your blog and even though I’m a rare poster, I want to tell you how much I do enjoy your thoughts and ideas. I was moved to post today because, after my daily browse of pinterest, your post from Dec. 2015 on “doable” front porch decor caught me. I needed your words and your ideas. I have been feeling defeated looking at all the Perfect pics and knowing that this year, it will have to be nothing fancy. I live in Louisiana and the flood is still affecting us and it will, I’m sure, for a long time. I will not let comparison steal my joy :) With your ideas, I feel relieved and excited about getting ready for Christmas 2017. Thank you.

Friday, October 14, 2016 at 1:11 pmBeautiful! I love green flowers because they go with & compliment all other flowers. And, they’re also lovely on their own. Hydrangeas turn all sorts of colors at this time of year – so fun for decorating.

Monday, October 10, 2016 at 9:29 pmI absolutely adore that you make simple so beautiful. I’m tempted to keep adding decor, and when I do,I usually feel dissatisfied. Simple decor makes me feel more calm and serene, if that is possible, but I think it’s true. Love your posts, Ann.

Monday, October 10, 2016 at 3:56 amI adore this, Ann. I can go a bit OTT with my seasonal decor, but I love simple just as much. Those limelight hydrangeas are gorgeous. I’m not sure how well they’d fair in our climate, but they are on my garden bucket list! Sue x

Sunday, October 9, 2016 at 10:15 amI love your chest. I do have a question though. I have a mahogany buffet and have been thinking of painting it. I am wondering how you got the finish on the chest so satiny. I really don’t want to paint my buffet but like to have that satin wood finish,

Sunday, October 9, 2016 at 8:48 amI’m all about simple this year too. I’ve seen so many beautiful blogs loaded with pumpkins but it’s just not me. I have a friend that wants to give me some of her hydrangea bush cuttings for my place. I’ve planted them in the past and they never live. I’d love to have blooms like yours.

PS Do you have a source for dried hydrangras? I used mine fresh and do not have any dried?
