Have an awesome day and don't forget to enter the GIVEAWAY!
When it comes to my outdoor urns, I dread the time between when I clean out all of the summer plants that have finally given up the ghost and when I put my spruce tops in (somewhere around Thanksgiving). Every year I resolve that I'm going to come up with decor that I can just pack away and put out year after year, rather than something that I just end up throwing out at the end of a couple of months, but it just never happens. So... when I saw these wrought iron pumpkins on clearance at the end of the season last year, I snatched them up knowing that they would be the perfect size for my urns!
Unfortunately, I have NO idea how to take photographs at night or I'm sure this image would be much better, but this is how they look when I turn the candles on after dark. I love the warm, cozy glow, and think they'll be a nice little welcome for our guests...
Another note about the urns. They were SO bad about a year and half ago that I was ready to get rid of them, but I decided to try to spruce them up with some paint before completely giving up. I sanded them down and sprayed them with Rust-Oleum Multicolor Textured Paint in 223525 - Aged Iron. Can't tell you how impressed I am with how it worked. They looked brand new! Of course it's been a year and a half now and they've weathered some but they're still looking pretty decent. I'll probably let them go through another winter and spray them again in the spring.
We see a lot of orange/rust/gold/cranberry schemes in fall decorating (for example, the great lantern pumpkin-in-an-urn idea above) and I'm a fan, but I thought it would be fun to mix it up a bit today with these turquoise and red images showing some creative ideas from BHG.com.

Hope you're enjoying your weekend! It's cool here, but it's finally sunny and that's a welcome relief after some major rainy days.
Style At Home Hi there! Yes. It's really me. :-) Can you believe how fast this past month has gone? I did my best to soak up the last of summer as much as I could, and I hope you all did as well and that it was an enjoyable month for you. A big welcome to all of you who starting following/subscribing while I was MIA! :-)
It's feeling slightly fallish here in Minnesota and I'm kind of liking it!
Some of the leaves are already changing color...
We visited the apple orchard this past weekend and, in addition to getting some wonderful apples, I enjoyed a big fat juicy caramel apple. Love those! If you've been to the orchard too and are looking for some apple recipes, you might want to check out Southern Living's Favorite Apple Recipes ...
So looking forward to having a fire in the fireplace again...

Shaun Jackson Design via DecorPad Fall is, of course, a great time to add warm color and texture to your decor...
Throws and plenty of pillows are also a must, don't you think? These pillows happen to be Martha Stewart's and, if you're interested in making them, the "how-to" can be found here.
I'll be using more candles to add that warm, welcoming glow...
Pottery Barn If you're looking for some creative candle ideas, Martha has quite a few here...
Area rugs add so much warmth to a room so, if you don't have one, consider adding one this fall. If you do already have one, why not layer two area rugs for an added layer of texture for the season?
Adding fabric where there previously wasn't any is a great way to cozy things up too. Chairs, window treatments, tablecloths/skirts, door drapes, bed drapes...
