Falling Into Fall 2013

Heather is waiting for YOU AT Stringtownhome-

Ahhhh Another Season- 

Just a while ago I thought we might be rushing the Fall season-

Now here we are just days away from what our calendars tell us is officially

Autumn or Fall

Which word do you prefer?

I usually call this simply

 FALL

But I must admit I do love  the word 

AUTUMN

While I am most definitely a 

Planner

I find I am not ready for all the wonderful changes I love making around me

That's why I refer to  what is happening [ or not ] as

FALLING INTO FALL

Confession time my Blogger friends

You Can make a difference with a little touch here and there

When you cannot find the wonderful little fall accents in the attic and

Your local stores can't seem to get the new Fall inventory onto the shelves

You can still perk things up with a few basics-

We'll just call it Minimal Decorating

~not "making do"..

This is intentional

[I hope my Falling into Fall will encourage you who like me may have been overwhelmed with LIFE

recently and thought you might just SKIP THIS SEASON ]

This setting is much the same year round

The wild life and natural gourds and baskets are basic

I just swap out seasonal accents [like the pumpkins]

as the seasons call for a little change

SAVE IT - USE IT - ENJOY IT 

Remember that beautiful fresh wreath you  splurged on for fall 2012?

It can represent your "good taste" as a

DRIED DECORATIVE ELEMENT

FOR 2013

Yes I do love that once a year extravagant fresh wreath but

It is so neet to be able to pull out a good silk fall wreath from the Attic Stash-

It covers nicely until I can make that annual Fresh Wreath purchase

Keeping it simple again-

Just a little natural/gourds, some basic Fiestaware,

a little Dollar Store, a small treasured gift,

several flea market finds [always!]

and of course

BURLAP

 Sooooooooooooo we spent $500. to relocate the toilet in order to make use of the over the head space on the wall. The right hardware made possible the floating shelves. Even I could do that!

And...what's not to like about the subway tiles?

Did I mention  I love Black  & White?

Soooooooo,

We went with the Keep it Simple plan...

 I forgot to mention that I invested in a new, [tastefully feminine]  shower curtain - reduced at World Market.

We had a choice. We could whine and complain that our main bathroom [mine] was too small

and a remodel would be a major expense we could not afford to tackle...Or we could make the best of what we had. 

We chose to focus on  the wonderful old lavatory- pedestal sink.

 That's a good thing in a small bathroom. 

The floor is those old 1inch tiles from 'days gone by'. 

We could work with that!
