Fall is slowly starting to arrive in some parts of the country. While it’s not occurring in my area, it doesn’t mean I can’t try to summon it with interior Fall decor!

I love mixing my antique finds and new pieces, which in this case are the velvet pumpkins! I was inspired by the orange majolica plate on the mantel for this vignette.

I also found these tole candlesticks at Anthropologie this Spring. They sold out quickly.

New this year are some plum courtly check pumpkins for Fall! I’m going to use them for Halloween this year too!

shop the photo above by clicking here. I love the new plum color!!!

The shades of these hydrangeas inspired me to use the velvet pumpkins well.

The woven vase above is McGee and company. Neiman Marcus has some velvet pumpkins here in my photo.
I’m inspired by the antique painting of this little girl and her green velvet dress. The green velvet pumpkins coordinate with this. The antique French mantel clock and candlesticks also add a nice patina to the whole vignette. Confession…the clock is broken! Who cares, it looks pretty.

I don’t post as much as I used to, but thanks for following along! I’ll post a few things between now and Christmas, so be sure to check back!

This year I went “back to nature” and decorated my dining room with velvet pumpkins, velvet mushrooms and owls. I love how it turned out.

I “kept it real” with you and left the high chair where my daughter sits in place. No fancy table settings today – this is really where we eat and how we use the table. The blue and white placemats are from Mackenzie Childs.

This year the owls perched themselves on the mantel. I have had these owls for probably a decade. They are starting to fall apart – I use hot glue gun to keep them intact. The mushrooms are my newest addition. They were a find from late Fall last year. I purchased them from Mrs. Alice.

This is my Fall front porch this year. I did not go “all out” like so many Bloggers (or I guess we’re called Influencers now?) do.

I wanted something more paired back. So I simply decorated with some pumpkins.

What pumpkins do I need to copy this look?

Easy, here’s a LIST!

• 10 Baby Boo White Pumpkins
• 4 Mini Tiger (white and orange striped)
• 4 Cinderella (I did combo of blue and orange)
• 6 Jack O’ Lanterns (I did various sizes 4 small and 2 medium)

Then I just propped them up and arranged them until they looked good.

While it may be trendy, I enjoy styling my tiered tray. Here are a few ideas on how to style your Fall tired tray.

1. Pumpkins – Faux, real, velvet, fabric – as long as they are mini!
2. Fall candles – choose a candle with a cute design to pop, or a favorite Fall scent.
3. Mini vase or mugs – here I used mini Moscow mules to add a pop of warm copper tones to the tray.
4. Interesting boxes – I save old candy boxes or other little boxes I find in various stores to use as decor.
5. Fall mug – although you can’t see it in the picture too well, on the other side of this tray I have a Fall themed pumpkin mug. (I tried to upload a picture but it kept failing to load so I gave up)

I’ve included some inspiration to shop for your own trays.

It is officially September which in my land means… bippity boppity PUMPKINS!!!

I’m sharing inspiration from several year’s past! I can’t wait to share how I’ve decorated this year!

Sharing this year’s version of my Fall mantle.

Majolica urn holds a velvet pumpkin.

I stuck to the more traditional colors of Fall. Shopped the Staffordshire collection to find some little figurines that matched!

Have you decorated for Fall?

Sharing this year’s Fall mantel. The color palette was inspired by the painting and my old books.

I look for antique books with interesting spines on them.

I’m running out of things to say about this… how about… look! pumpkins!

Velvet pumpkins I purchased from LoveFeast Shop. Books are from various antique malls. Boxwood, corn, and candlesticks from little boutiques.

Happy first week of Fall!! So excited to share my Fall mantle this year! Well, Tomorrow kicks off the first day of Fall and I am ready!

If you follow me on Instagram, I had asked my followers this late Summer what color of velvet pumpkins I should get… and here’s the result!

I went with different shades of green to go with the little girl in the painting. I am totally obsessed with the velvet pumpkins and just can’t get enough of them!

I have also recently been increasing my antique book collection and love stacks of book scattered here and there.

I confess though, I have had this mantle on display for over a month now even though I’m just now sharing it with you…. ya know, I have to take pictures, upload them and blog about it so it isn’t as easy as 1, 2, 3.

I plan to leave this up through Halloween, then out comes Christmas!

I just got back from a trip to Banff National Park in Canada, so I still don’t quite have my Fall decorating finished (plus, technically, it IS still Summer). I thought I would share a few beautiful inspiration pictures with you on this lazy Sunday.
