Its official, folks… Fall has arrived.

Just the mention of the word makes me feel all warm and cozy inside.  This time of year is wonderful in Myrtle Beach. The evenings are cooler, but most days are still warm enough to enjoy the beach!

I admit sometimes it feels like we only have two seasons in Myrtle Beach: Summer and Spring. But there’s an easy remedy for those of you who long for a more Autumn-like atmosphere–Create it yourself! Just decorate your home with those things the season brings to your mind.

Autumn makes me think of…

amber skies and long nights; football and harvest festivals; campfires and changing leaves; pumpkins and pie.

 

Find inspiration by checking out these Fall decor ideas:

• Use contrasting colors like blue, green, and purple with orange, red, and yellow. Try placing burnt orange flowers in a clear blue vase.

• Hang a wreath made of natural elements. This wreath made of dried wheat and burlap ribbon is a great example.

• Add a “bouquet of leaves” to your dining room or kitchen table (i.e. place a few small branches of leaves inside a pretty vase.) Add a plaid tablecloth for an added boost of color.
• Decorate with seasonal produce like squash, pumpkins, chestnuts, acorns, and berries.
• Drape a cozy, Houndstooth throw over a chair or couch.
• Display green, orange, and yellow hand towels in the bathroom.
• Scoop small holes at the top of the pumpkin and place a candle inside the cavity to give the room a nice, warm glow.

• Place a large pot filled with apples and small, floating candles on the porch. This would be great for an Autumn get-together!
