Welcome to my 3rd Annual Open House for Fall, when I invite everyone to show us how they decorate their homes for the season. Yesterday I showed you how I decorate my house (Decorating for Fall in 3 Easy Steps). But I’m always looking for fresh inspiration, so I’m eager to see your ideas now.
There’s also a Fall Mantel Party raging over at Nesting Place today that you have to check out. After you link up here, don’t forget to head over and join hers, too. I am! I keep my mantel pretty simple, but some people go all-out, which is always fun to see.
If you’re a blogger and have a post to add to the party, all you have to do is:
- Add the permalink to the specific blog post (not your general blog address).
- Link back to this post from yours so your readers can join the party.
- Start clicking!
Thanks so much for the fun party!

love your blog and so happy for another fall link party. it’s the most wonderful time of the year, for sure!

Your fall decor is beautiful…..elegant and not too over powering. My fiancée says that anyone that was wondering if it was fall would know the second they walked into our home! Ha! That’s me though…..I’m all about over the top!

Hi Julia! I finally made it!
I wanted to join both Nester’s party and yours, but I wanted to do just a mantel for Nester’s party and more of a home tour for your party. So I wrote two separate posts. And now I think I’m your 84th entry or something like that. Wow! Good for you!
I think your home looks just wonderful decorated for fall. Actually, your mantel REALLY inspires me. I wrote about the mantel in my husband’s study for Nester’s party. I didn’t show the mantel in our living room, because I haven’t done anything fallish for it. That mantel is rather high and very shallow, so I have trouble decorating it. But I DO have some really tall candlesticks, and you’ve inspired me to paint them black or oil-rubbed bronze and use them. I could balance them with something else tall on the other side. Thank you for the inspiration–I’ll let you know if I end up emulating you!
Thank you SO MUCH for hosting this party!
Thank you for hosting! Your home looks fantastic!
.-= Michelle @ Sweet Something Design´s last blog ..Rustic Hand-Painted Sign =-.
Your home looks so inviting and cozy, love the style and all of your fall accents!
thank you so much for inviting us into your home. it is beautiful & warm.
i think my favorite part is your turquoise buffet with the mercury pumpkins & then the pops of orange from your pumpkins on your dining room table. for some reason i love turquoise or blue with orange. can’t beat it.
great idea for a party.
HAPPY FALL!

I love orange and turquoise together, too–as you can probably tell by my blog! Thanks, Kellie. -Julia
Thank you for the linking party!! My house is generally in fall decor, warm color pallete, rich colors and textures – that’s my style – don’t change much with the seasons. I may just have too!! Thanks!
.-= LuxuriousLife´s last blog ..Furniture As Art =-.
I can’t wait to look through these! How long is the linky going to be up for? I’m just getting started on decorating today.
.-= Our Nifty Notebook´s last blog ..Links I Like- Oops! =-.
It’ll be up until next week, so you have plenty of time! -Julia
I’m officially inspired!!
Thank you Julia!
I wanted to link to your party but it doesn’t seem to work! There is not a button to move on once I entered the info — am I doing something wrong?
I’m not sure why it didn’t work for you. I just tested it by uploading a link of my own and it worked fine. Make sure that your link is correct and doesn’t have double “http’s” at the beginning (I noticed when I pasted my link in, there was already an “http” there, so I had to delete one to get it to work).
Then you click “get image from web” and choose the photo from your post you want to use. It’ll help you crop it to size and that should be it. Hope that helps! -Julia
Oh! I just found your blog! So Lovely! I linked up several things above! Hope that is okay! Just had so many fall decor posts already! I will have to sit and enjoy looking back through your blog! http://www.threepixielane.blogspot.com
.-= Christie´s last blog ..Candy Anyone =-.
You have some amazing followers and fellow bloggers to contribute this many beautiful ideas! I can’t wait to get home and look through them at my leisure. Thanks to you and everyone for the inspiration I’ll surely find.
Hello,
Thank you for posting this Fall party. It’s my first time doing something like this and I enjoyed it very much. Everyone’s pictures looks so beautiful. Can’t wait to go back and take a better look tonight.
Thanks again.
Claudia
How Julia! Thanks for bringing all these fun Holiday ideas into one place!
Julia,
I can’t stop thinking about that mirror above your mantel…where did you get it? I want one.
.-= Kimberlee J.´s last blog ..Peanut Butter Cup Cookies =-.
I got the mirror at Bombay Co. a few years before they went out of business. Shouldn’t be too hard to find something similar, though. I’m glad you like it! I always get comments about how you’re not supposed to hang mirrors over fireplaces because they’re too high and reflect the ceiling, etc, but I felt like I needed something round to break up all the hard, square shapes on that wall with the two windows on the side. That room is really small and dark (we have a wooded yard), so I also was trying to make it seem a little brighter and bigger. -Julia
Thank you for a very fine open house Julia!

Hi, Julia, that first pic looks like a magazine shot! Your house is looking SO good, love all your little Fall touches. It takes me until October to get in the mood for Fall & I only do a little, but I’m putting up something next week. I always miss the Fall parties, just can’t get it together when it’s 90*.

Julia, your home is beautiful. Looks like a magazine spread. Thanks for hosting this.
.-= Kim´s last blog ..Fall Touches =-.
Loving your decor! I’m obsessed with your turquoise buffet in that one picture. Did you paint it or buy it like that??? If you painted it can I get that color name? Painting my dining room furniture (which I am turning into an office) is on my to do list. I love your white table and chairs and that pop of color on your buffet!

It came like that from Arhaus, and it makes me really happy every day seeing that little bolt of blue when I walk through the room. -Julia
Hi!
Be still my heart. Those mercury glass pumpkins are gorgeous! Where did you find them? Oh and your rooms are simply beautiful.

WOW! Your house is gorgeous! OMG! Can I please please ask where you purchased those adorable toile chairs?
.-= Juju at Tales of Whimsy´s last blog ..Over the Moon Book Review & Contest Too =-.
I got those toile chairs years ago from a store that went out of business shortly thereafter. I was bummed because I was hoping to get the cool ottoman that went with them, but it was too late! -Julia
You are the hostess with the mostess……your home looks FANTASTIC Julia…
Thanks for hosting this…..tomorrow is going to be a yucky, rainy day and I am coming back with my coffee for a LONG visit !!!!

Happy Fall,

I thought of you when I saw this beautiful listing in Australia. It is posted by Rhonda Jean of the Down to Earth Blog. Her sister is selling this home after losing her husband a few years ago. Rhonda Jean is trying to help her sister get the house sold.
It truly is a gem.
I don’t know if you’d want to feature it…but here is the info just in case.

hi! I love o see all of the awesome fall decor! Everyone is so creative!
Julia – in the pics of you house, is that the Crate & Barrel Classical Symmetry prints I see? How many do you have? Which colors? I LOVE them!
Yep! I have four of them–orange, yellow, lime and aqua. Aren’t they fun? -Julia
Your home is a always so beautiful! Thanks for hosting. I have visited several links and can’t wait to visit more! Happy Fall!
.-= Southern Fried Gal´s last blog ..Fall Door Decor 2010 =-.
Thanks for hosting! Your home looks lovely. I just uploaded my Fall fireplace. Fall is my favorite time of year…I love to see how others are decorating for the season!
.-= Melanie {The Tiny Tudor}´s last blog ..My Front Door =-.
I am falling in love with your “pecan” color. Curious…does it read peachy at all to you? I just did a sample board of it and Tobacco Road and the TR is too golden for my liking and the Pecan read a little peachy…BUT it could just be that I’m holding them together and see such a contrast.
Also, is there anyway you can find out wall color used in movie houses? Just watched the movie “Date Night” and LOVE that wall color…very neutral…very different each time I saw it in different times of day. Would love to get my hands on that color.
.-= Talysa´s last blog ..Focus Sweet Shot Tuesday =-.
The thing about Pecan is that is changes color depending on the time of day, the light coming through the windows, and the room it’s in. It looks like I used a totally different color in the dining room than in the family room because the dining room is so much lighter. So it’s tricky. I’m sure it does go a little peachy at certain times of the day, although I’ve never really noticed it. It stays pretty toasty looking in the family room, which gets less light due to all the trees in our backyard.
Sadly, movie-set colors don’t translate into real homes. They have to adjust them for the extreme lights and usually do custom mixes to get them right. We have to just use them for inspiration and find something similar. -Julia
I like your way of blogging. I bookmarked it to my bookmark website list and will be checking back soon.
I really like that. You touched my heart!
Oh my goodness! an amazing article. Thank you!
