Little Touches of Fall

Welcome to the Transitioning From Summer to Fall Blog Hop 

hosted by Amber of Follow the Yellow Brick Home.

If you are following the hop in order, then you were just visiting my friend Judith of Botanic Blue and her decor never disappoints.

  

I have to say, that as much as I love "hopping" with this group of bloggers, 

I was reluctant to join in this time because, as you can see, my days are still quite full of summer.

But just after I said no to the hop, I noticed the changing sun in this picture I snapped after a day of kayaking last week.

And then I noticed this odd bloom on my schefflera tree and I realized that even if I am not ready for fall, it is definitely coming.

My transition began in the guest room with the schefflera blooms - both orange and purple and any other orange flowers I could find in the garden.

All of a sudden I was on board with making fall changes, simply by adding yellow to my existing decor.

Silk sunflowers in a bag on the door welcome guests.

The table setting mimics the colors of the butterfly and coreopsis painting on the wall.

Wooden bread boards

add warmth to the plate racks.

I kept the orange and yellow theme going in the hallway and like the front door, I used faux blooms.

These realistic faux blooms make me smile and I don't have to replace them weekly.

is made special with a favorite set of vintage plates

and the view is bright and colorful.

The best part of adding these little touches of fall is that other than a few plants, I simply used what I had on hand.

Now it's time to send you on to one of the sweetest bloggers, Katie of Let's Add Sprinkles.
