Fall is falling

How do we decorate for fall? Oranges, reds, browns. Fabulous. Make a statement for your front door with inexpensive pumpkins, bales of hay. Tip: Don't carve pumpkins until 5 days before Halloween. They tend to rot easily.
Indoor decor: Browns, tans, beige. This is hard for me-I love the bright colors. Let's all get ready for the holidays by starting with reds and browns, then we can shift to reds and greens!
Happy fall, yall!

fall dwelling well

So a certain company, i'll call them "pottery farm" for privacy-i take lots of hints from them-they are doing lots of pewter and natural items for fall.
that means decorate with pine cones, sticks, and any silver or pewter pieces you have. colors are all neutral.
i'm about to do my fall tablescape and will post photos when i'm done.
i replaced my daisies on my front door with sunflowers and mums-fall flowers for sure.
you can decorate for fall the least expensive of all the seasons-think outdoors, things you find around your house.
good luck with your fall decor! call me if you have questions!

you can dwell well while traveling


Even when you travel, you can search for signs of dwelling well, as well as learning tips. This bed looks perfect, and they don't have 100 pillows on it. The right touch. The perfect contrast of reds, yellow, and then brown. No heavy curtains, but upholstered window treatments that do not match the bedding, but tie into the same color scheme.
This room Dwells Well because it is not matchy matchy, not over done, and is very relaxed.
Great job, Maison Louisiane in Natchitoches, LA!
