7 FALL DECORATING IDEAS TO START YOUR SEASON RIGHT

Okay, my people… it’s hot here. I’m not gonna lie!

We are experiencing an unusual heat wave that makes it a bit unbearable to live in my non-air-conditioned loft apartment. It’s even ceased progress on the Modern Coastal Bathroom Makeover.

However… be on the lookout for the latest bathroom project that was finished JUST before the temps started rising. Coming this week… WITH A GIVEAWAY!

And, even though it feels like summer just started here in So Cal, Blogland is revving up for the fall season. We want y’all to have plenty of time to get your homes ready for the fall season, right?

So, I’m sharing 7 (plus a bonus or three) fall decorating and DIY ideas that you can use to prepare your home for the cozy temps that will soon be upon us!

    1. Thanks, Barbara! I move for 30 seconds, and I’m sweatin’ like… well, you know! So working on easy stuff for now!

  1. Oh man Julie, no air conditioning in a heatwave is tough and a bummer you had to pit a hold on tge bathroom because of it too.

    I’m beginning to get fall vibes, it begins with acirns for me.

    Cindy

    1. Yep… it’s pretty yucky here! But, I’m going to work on some accessories while I wait for it to cool down! And I found some wooden acorns at Hobby Lobby that I’m in LOVE with… and some metallic bell acorns, too! So I get you!

  2. Julie, you’re so sweet to include my decoupage pumpkins in your great roundup! Thanks for the mention. You know I love all your fall decor ideas, especially those velvet pumpkins! 😉

  3. It’s starting to cool off a little here so I’m ready for Autumn. Bring on all the Fall decorating ideas! Take it easy and don’t overdo it in that heat Julie and thanks for all this lovely inspiration!

    1. I’m sitting here right now thinking, “I’m actually chilled!” The evening has cooled off! Let’s hope for more!

  4. A heat wave with no air conditioning is no fun at all. Hoping you get some cooler temperatures very soon. I enjoyed seeing your fall projects and so much appreciate you sharing my fall mantel.

    1. Thanks, Allyson… one of my fave DIYs. AND, one of my fave designer brands actually mistook mine for theirs! Too funny!

  5. Better late than never! Great post and I feel very honored to be included! I’m sitting here with my little fan on pointed at my face and checking the thermostat thinking about you. I’d be so grouchy. When it gets hotter than a honeymoon hotel around here, you can always do what I do… flip your b_o_s up (fill in the blanks) and sleep with a cold wash rag. That’ll do it!

  6. I love all your Fall ideas, Julie. Kudos to you for turning your thoughts to Fall when you still have a lot of heat in store!

    Thanks so much for joining the Grace at Home party at Imparting Grace. I’m featuring you this week!

    1. Thank you, Richella… I’m a bit late on replies this week, but I always appreciate your comments and sharing my posts!

  7. I know blogland is on it, but I’m not quite ready for fall – we had a recent heat wave here in the northeast too, but it has settled into gorgeous summer temps this week and I’m enjoying every last minute! BUT I have my eye on your pretty velvet pumpkins for when I do move onto fall!

    1. Yes, I agree with you, Janet. I’m having to get something done for this weekend, and I’m having to push myself! 😉 I will do a ‘light’ fall decor post! 😉

  8. So many great ideas, Julie! Thanks for sharing on Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop. We’ve added this to our Saturday weekly roundup! Have a great weekend! Simply yours, Anne & AnnMarie

    1. Thank you so much, Rachelle! I’m thankful they are a popular post… works out nicely for 4th quarter!
