Fall home decor accessories that reflect our interests and individuality celebrates personal style.
I appreciate all styles and tastes in the realm of home design and decor, but I marvel when it is a reflection from the mirror of the lives lived within.
I like putting things here and there that unmistakably show my personality- the treasures, trinkets and trash.
Treasures, Trinkets and Trash was the name of my grandmother’s antiques shop, and a term I use quite often.
Great term!
One of the best parts of September is updating and displaying fall home decor accessories.
A mid-afternoon editing session spent rotating out spring and summer accessories welcomed fall and a walk down memory lane.
Accessorizing for fall is a great way to warm up a space.
I always like to promote from within by swapping things around and staging areas with items I currently own.
The pair of blue Dalmatians are a part of our family.
I purchased the pair from a small antique shop in Knoxville, Tennessee years ago.
I love them almost as much as I love Tennessee.
What’s better than two pieces of blue and white porcelain?
Three pieces, of course!
Enter the Blue Danube pitcher.
Antique books make a stately decor statement.
I picked up Cimarron and Madame Bovary at an antiques auction.
Like many items purchased over the years at auction, the books never made it to the shop.
My maternal grandmother surprised me one birthday with a 1936 first edition;second printing hardcover version of Gone With The Wind.
It’s a treasure for sure.
My dear neighbor friend knows how I love frogs.
He picked this bronze beauty out at market in Dallas especially for me to add to my collection.
Acorns, pine cones, turning leaves, berries and one lone cotton stem capture the look of fall in Louisiana.
The music box is a cherished Christmas gift from my son.
In one of the images above you can see the antique sterling silver rattle my grandmother gave our son when he was born.
I’ve never grouped the two together until today.
As I grouped them together, I wondered why I never made the connection before.
That’s the great advantage to editing from within our homes-everything old has the decoratively ability to become new again with a little imagination and styling.
Is this not a sad face only a frog lover could love?
Seasonal colors and textures weaved throughout a space is a simple way to transition decor from season to season.
A coffee table styled and accessorized with mementos, a cozy vignette, or a plush throw draped over a fireside chair will easily introduce the look and feel of the season to a space.
