I share my home decorated for fall with items found in nature and where my creative inspiration comes from. I also share the reality of living in my house with people and pets.

Love how you use and reuse natural flora when possible. I’m the same, I use real whenever I can. Just a heads up, “wildlife experts throughout the country want the public to know there's a decoration that could pose hazards for birds, bugs and other animals when set up outside. Fake spider webs can entangle hummingbirds, owls, butterflies, bees and small critters.”

Thanks for sharing that info. I did not know. Halloween is not my favorite day, so I just keep it up for a day or 2. It is just for the trick-or-treaters.

I admire everything you do with your lovely home and gardens. And you are right about how cliche pumpkins for fall decor have become. I don't have magnolia leaves but I do have oak tree branches. And acorns galore. They look lovely mixed with hydrangeas. And have I told you how much I love your library? I gave mine up in 2013 and I only miss it when I see yours, lol. I do switch out my pictures on the wall for fall because they are family portraits of long passed ancestors, but mainly I just move them from room to room. This time of year spiders move in. I don't use fake webbing, I just let the spiders do their thing and leave it, ha! Anyway, thank you for another inspiring tour. Cheers dear lady.

You have a beautiful home which has been lovingly curated over the years! I made the mistake of going with trends through the years which has left me with nothing of real value. I love to decorate so I would redecorate the entire house with the latest trends then have to replace everything when the next big trend began. I wish I had been confident in a love for a particular style / era which I am finding is truly country and / or vintage and antique items . Your home is gorgeous! I love your style. Thanks so much for the warm welcome! I do also enjoy bringing nature into our home during the fall and winter as do you! :) I appreciate your honesty about pets and "real life" living in our home! We have 5 housecats and 2 huskies that also come inside during the heat of the summer months. We have real life FUR everywhere! Ha ha!

I just love your house and your lovely, cozy, very personalized decor! I hate to be one of those people who makes negative comments to someone who is kind enough to share their home with us! But....here goes....I think I asked once before....do the two extra dining table chairs have to be there on either side of the bench? It would open the space visually if they were stored elsewhere. I guess it is impossible to put them anywhere else, but I'm just mentioning it in case it is a "blind spot" --- you know how we don't always "see" things in our homes that we look at all the time. Again, love your house!
