When August arrives, and the days are getting shorter, my mind begins to think about fall. It’s a lovely time of year, and in this post, that’s what we’re celebrating. There are over 75 ideas that provide endless inspiration. Included are cozy decor ideas, fun and easy crafts, free printable wall art, and so much more.

Fall means different things to different people. For me, it means adding anything cozy and comfortable to our spaces. It means layering throws and pillows, burning yummy candles, and baking pumpkin bread. Even if you don’t go all out decorating for fall, adding a few carefully chosen accessories will bring warmth and personality to your home. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box. Although I love autumnal colors, no where is it written that everything has to be orange and brown…and there are no rules. Choose pieces that reflect your own personal style, and you will never go wrong!

  34. Kathleen G says:

    Good morning Ann,
    I love it when my favorite bloggers start posting Autumnal inspirations from their past postings and the seasonal changes from where they live. I live in Hades, ok in the low desert, so this makes me feel cool and excited for the coming season, my favorite, Fall!
    Always enjoy your thoughts, projects, and food:).

  35. Linda Tucker says:

    Oh, I love this. First, I love your home, but now I don’t have to go back through all your archives looking for something I read somewhere, oh where was that? Your style and décor are stunning and perfected. I will be using this a lot this fall. Thanks again, and by the way I like it that you don’t paint all your lovely furniture pieces. You just make them more beautiful.
    Linda

  36. Christian Kingsbury says:

  37. I love our 4 Seasons,but I love especially the Fall:
    Ann, never stop posting! I enjoy your posts, especially about fall. I recently posted this on my Facebook page. It may not rhyme, but it is how I feel about fall. From Sept. 1, I get excited about fall and Christmas. It is my favorite season. Thanks again, Alice

    I love the color of fall leaves, and watching them float down.
    Crisp mornings and using our wood pellet stove.
    Dogs snuggling up to keep us warm.
    Drive out in the country to see the beautiful country scenery.
    Warm throws on the chairs to snuggle under and read a good book.
    The smell of apple pie in the oven.
    Wood piles next to houses, ready to put to use.
    Pumpkins and mums at fruit stands and even the grocery stores.
    These are my favorite things and the coming of Christmas!

  38. I love changing of the weather and the crafts that come along with it.

  39. Heather Chapplain says:

  50. Hi Ann,
    I just found your blog a few weeks ago & must tell you how much I look forward to each new post. I enjoy decorating our home for each season, but fall is my favorite. Your blog has my “creative juices” flowing! It’s very hot here in Texas & cooler temperatures won’t come for quite a while, but I’ll start decorating for fall in mid-September. I can hardly wait to get started!

    Thanks for all the great ideas,
    Cindy

  51. I can’t believe fall is so near, but it’s definitely in the air here. I can feel the cooler temps :) I agree I need to find some new fall ideas too (is there actually any that haven’t been done?).
