A few weeks ago I shared how important it is to first declutter before you start fluffing your home for fall.
I'm so glad I did.
I shared my “kitchen clutter rules” a few weeks ago, which just makes decluttering a wee bit easier around here.
So I waited and waited and waited until I really had time to declutter before finally decorating a little for fall. (September 22nd feels way too late to me!)
Here's what I used:
- an old scarf from my closet
- a glass jar I've had forever (found it at Ikea)
- some old spriggy vines (from Hobby Lobby)
- a cutting board a friend gifted to me
- some pears that I found on clearance at Kroger (I sprayed them with hair spray after a few folks recommended that on Facebook Live yesterday to keep the fruit flies away)
- 3 white pumpkins
Initially I was going to use the “give grace” sign in the dining room, but it felt too cluttered. I scooted it to the family room and it worked perfectly.

DONE. I've seen a few crazy decorators over on Instagram and Pinterest going all out (which is amazing for them!), but for me, this is plenty to make our home feel a little more loved without all of our “stuff” feeling overwhelming to me. Success!
Do you decorate for fall? Do you decorate a ton, or are just a few things all you need to feel ready for seasons to change? I'd love to hear what you do ~ leave a comment to share!
Jodi says
Where is that amazing mirror from? And the lamps?
Laurie says
Home Goods and Pottery Barn!
Stephanie says
Can you possibly tell me the brand of your table?
Connie says
Nothing under the mirror between the two lamps?
Julie Nielsen says
Where did you find the give grace? Should be our motto for sure
Laurie says
Hi Julie! It was at Hobby Lobby. Hope that helps! )
Beth says
What is the name and brand of the blue paint color in the dining room? Love it!
Laurie says
Hi Beth! The blue color was matched to a decorative pillow, so it’s not a standard color, but Sherwin Williams is what most of the house is painted in! 🙂 Hope that helps!
Lisa says
Your house is beautiful! ❤️ I also love your shoes! Can you please share where you found them? So so cute! Thank you & God Bless!❤️❤️❤️
Sharon says
I love decorating for fall! I have lots of pumpkins (ceramic, wood, glass, etc.). I am decluttering and painting before I decorate. It’s going to be a busy month!
Laurie says
Yay! I love that! 🙂
Jen says
Where did you get your dining room chairs from? I could not make out what you were saying
Laurie says
Hi Jen! I got them from Lane furniture years ago (they were originally black – I repainted them white!) Hope that helps! 🙂

I think you did a lovely thing for your home. I need to go back and check out the declutter. We’ve 42 years of memory trash that I know is weighting me down. One suggestion though, I’d rather have my family eat the pears than spray hairspray. A dunk in vinegar probably does the same and nontoxic load for the family.

Where is your rug from?
Kristen ~ PPP Team says
Hi Julie, I got it from Wayfair! They have so many cute rugs and great prices too. I added the link in the post 🙂
