Fall Is Here

Hi All,
Glad to be back home after a very relaxing vacation. I had decorated the inside of the house before I left, so I could come home to Fall!
The fireplace...
Looking up the stairs...
Another stairway shot...

The temps are seasonal in Illinois, 60's-70's. Just perfect! I will share more fall decor on upcoming posts. I have not decorated the yard, but think I will do that tomorrow!

    Robin...Glad to hear you had such a nice vacation. Mother nature does all of my fall decorating for me. The leaves are turning here and turning loose too.

    I'm so excited for the Fall! I only wish in Los Angeles that our Fall season was more like the Midwest - sweater weather, colored leaves, etc.

    That was a great idea: to come home to fall. Not here yet. Still have the air conditioning going and wearing shorts.

    It all looks so beautiful Robin. I love the staircase. I wish ours was exposed like that. I think I might place a few pumkins on the landing though. Thanks for the inspiration, Patty

    Your house lends itself so well to the fall theme - maybe it's that gorgeous wood trim. Anyway - it all looks lovely!

    Hello,
    I visited your blog today - I saw you on 'The Tablescaper'. Your blog is so pretty and charming. I love all the Fall decorations. Yes, Fall is in the air around here, as I just did a post about it too. Me and my daughters just started a new blog, and we would love it if you could visit us and follow. I would enjoy coming back to visit with you and seeing all your wonderful ideas. Hope to hear from you, and have a sweet day. Oh, my favorite is Frank Sinatra too - what a voice!!

    I enjoyed seeing autumn in your home and I guess you have the temperatures to match. It looks like you had a great time in NYC!

    Thank you for visiting my blog. I am new here so I can't wait to look all around. Your cape home is wonderful. Now you've really spurred me on to go dig out my fall decor. Love your yellow walls. I just recently had my family room done in a sunny yellow.

    Lovely! I am really fond of your All-American looking fireplace with its brick and knotty wood. It's just perfect for a Cape house.

    And how brilliant to decorate before vacation so you could come home to a "new" house!
