Fall Decor at Thistle Hill Ranch

FALL decorating is SO much FUN!

We still have so much in storage, until our house gets built, and this makes Holiday decorating a tad challenging. So many of my fun decor items are packed up. But, I love repurposing and gathering from nature to decorate. Needless to say, Fall is a fun time for natural decor....things from your back yard! FREEEEEE!

A pumpkin here, a pheasant feather there, and it makes me want hot apple cider.

I did have a couple Fall decor bins make it here in the move, and this funny Halloween cat was in one of them. Even though my boys are in their early teens, they still like the fun stuff out too.

This is in our breakfast nook, this little 4 drawer dresser, I got at a flea market for $35 dollars. I have used it in many rooms. I love having it here, because I really needed extra storage. The cloche is on a slice of one of our cedar trees that had died on the property. I had my guys cut me 12 for dinner chargers. The lamp was a gift from the 91 year old lady that we bought the ranch from. I just adore it!

Below, is my formal dining table and sideboard. I made the chalkboard from an old framed print, that I wasn't fond of anymore. I turned the print around and painted the reverse with chalkboard paint.

The wicker tray was from a fabulous wicker coffee table that was given to me. I love the large size of this tray. I have a feeling I will be using this tray in many places.

This is our skinny entrance table, that I got at a resale shop for $25 because it has a broken corner in the glass. That's what lamps are for...cover the blemish please! I love that it's skinny, because the entrance is very narrow. The ceramic container is actually for beverages...or as I see it, anything else I want it to be used for. I love filling it with pumpkins in the Fall, & pinecones and evergreens in the Winter...and occasionally beverages at parties!

The woven tray with leather handles, I found on save-on-crafts.com. I love that online store. I have quite a few things from there. The bronze/gold pumpkin was a gift from my sister Heather. She knows how much I love Fall, and a bronze/gold pumpkin was a much loved gift!

Add some Indian corn, driftwood candle holder, and old family books and I'm happy about the Fall display in the living room. My husband likes that it doesn't get in the way of "optimum viewing" of the t.v. HA!

The front porch, I try to switch up every year. This year I made the "BOO" sign from some leftover drop cloth, and wrapped it over the old ladder rungs. I attached them with safety pins.

A couple mums and my metal pumpkins and Fall is outside too!

Even Scarlett loves Fall!

Falling asleep in the skeleton's lap, cracks me up!

This is our breakfast table, with a view of our hay pasture. Here, I added a gray ticking scarf, a little ceramic jack-o-lantern, and the cotton stalks. I wanted to keep it simple and neutral. But, it still has a dash of Fall fun too.

Last but not least, a little literature humor with my Ichabod pumpkin head, on the fern stand. This is near our entrance, off of the dining room. We just finished reading the short story. It's always a fun tale during the Fall season.

I love seeing all the creative Fall ideas on Instagram, Pinterest and of course magazines. I can't wait for Thanksgiving...I'll have to change it up a tad...Because a designer is never really done, especially when it's their home, ha!

Happy Fall Ya'll! And Happy Decorating!
