Neutral Fall Vignette
It’s starting to look a lot like fall around here. The temperature is even cooperating and it makes me so excited! At Miss A’s soccer game last night it was downright chilly. Woohoo! Time to break out the boots and the sweaters, folks.
Side note: soccer for 4-year-olds? Both exciting and tantrum-inducing at the same time. We’ve run the gamut of emotions in one game. And it might not just be the kids! 🙂 This is our first step into organized sports and it is quite the new adventure.
OK, back to the pretty stuff.
I’m celebrating the new season today with a neutral fall vignette in my entry way. You know how I love color, right? Especially a certain blueish-green hue.
And I like to compliment it with bright pinks and yellows in the spring and summer, and then reds and oranges in the fall. But I challenged myself this time to stick with a more neutral palate, just to see if I could do it.
And I really love it! Sure, there’s a little touch of yellow, turquoise and green, but they are subdued colors and not too bright. I tried to bring it a lot of texture with the burlap square, grapevine pumpkins, flowers, leaves and cotton bolls.
By the way, those leaves are from my bush right outside my front door. Easy, simple and free. Gotta love it!
What do you think?
Personally, I can’t help but smile when I walk by. I truly love it!
And I’m going to continue to try to do neutral this fall. Let’s see if I can accomplish something I love on the mantel. So far I’ve got a good start, but it needs some work. Hopefully I’ll be sharing that soon!
I have a free printable for the “Come Thou Fount” lyrics that I used in this vignette. I just love those words!
Have you started decorating for fall at your house?
Does it even feel like fall there?
Have a wonderful sweater-weather day!

Love your Fall look! I’ve started sprinkling a little Fall around and hope to finish up tomorrow! Thanks for the inspiration!
It does not feel like fall in Massachusetts. We are still enjoying 80 degree temps. It does make it harder for me to let go of summer and get into the festive fall decorating. Seeing your beautiful home is motivating me a bit, though! Thank you!
Laura,
I love the neutral look, and especially the cotton bolls in the boots. Love the wreath. What I want to know is where did you put the railroad sign? Personally I liked it over the chalkboard and thought I would write in destinations time of arrival, etc in the boxes!
Love the grapevine pumpkins. I have a lamp like yours- you have excellent taste!
Laura, you did a wonderful job! I would smile too if I put that together. I enjoy doing that too. However, I am a true summer girl. And while the temps are cooling here as well, I am waiting until the official calendar day. I would much rather be in my flip flops and sleeveless tops. I’m a bit older than you and I can get hot real quick with a sweater. It was lovely visiting today! Diane
Stunning and perfect! I wish I had it!
