Pretty Pretty Pumpkins

With the exception of Christmas, I have never been much of a seasonal decorator.  However, as my children become older and more aware of holidays and the seasons, it does inspire me to decorate a little bit.  You will never find spiderweb bushes or giant spiders and witches at my house, but I do think pumpkins can be a beautiful Fall addition to a home.

Here are some Fall decorations that inspire me.  Maybe one of these days I will get around to actually doing some Fall decorating other than the yellow mums and pumpkins on my front porch!

Oversized pumpkins placed atop a pair of urns create a dramatic entrance.



One of my favorite ways to display pumpkins is layered in graduating sizes on top of urns, creating a topiary effect.

I'm not sure how much overlap there is between hydrangea season and pumpkin season, but they make a beautiful combination.

Inside the home, a grouping of pumpkins on a mantle adds color and holiday spirit.  The wheat wreath layered over the mirror brings depth and texture to the space.

If pumpkins aren't your thing, changing leaves tucked into a lantern adds a festive and colorful touch.  It doesn't hurt that the architecture of this home is stunning!

These rust colored mums are a nice twist on the traditional yellow.

One of those perfectly sunny yet cool days of Fall.
