Fall is my favorite season, so I love finding simple ways to savor it. Here are five easy ways (and a treat!) to embrace fall. Maybe they will inspire you, too?
1. Decorate for Fall.
I love gathering things like books, baskets, and other pretty things that make my house feel cozy and inviting. You can see more of my family room updates and my easy fall mantel here!
2. Enjoy simple handmade projects.
It’s nice to slow down a bit and make something by hand. This pillow trim was SO easy to add! The Pom Pom fringe pillow is an Anthropologie store knock off, so it is budget friendly too! See the instructions via the link.
3. Create easy “use what you have” fall centerpieces.
Why make decorating more complicated than necessary? Find beautiful things you already have to create a centerpiece like this one, with pears, fall candles and a wood cutting board! You can see more of this centerpiece here.
4. Have fun making gifts!
The holidays will be here before we know it! Come see the sweet DIY painted polka dot mug instructions along with a hot cider recipe, perfect for hostesses and gifts.
5. Bake something with pumpkin!
Pumpkin squares (and anything pumpkin!) are our absolute FAVORITE treat this time of year! Come see our easy delicious recipe here!
For even more ideas, come see the fall projects I’ve been working on and lots more fall inspiration posts over at The Inspired Room!
Happy Fall, everyone!
“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” {Psalm 118:24}

Melissa,
Fall is my favorite season as well! I will admit that sometimes I don’t decorate for fall because I know that Christmas decorating is just around the bend. But, you have inspired me to keep it simple and at least do something to celebrate this beautiful season! Thank you.
Blessings,
Bev
ps. I have made pumpkin bread twice…does that count? 🙂
Absolutely….anything pumpkin counts 🙂
What a beautiful, original ideas! It makes me happy. Thank you.
Fall is my fav, too. It was fun seeing your projects. I’m drooling over your leaf tray and pear centerpiece.
Thank you Pamela 🙂
You are always inspiring. I really love that pillow.
These are all great ideas and I think the last one is the best – the pumpkin squares look great!
Happy Fall!
Lovely ideas for the very best season of all:)
Love love love fall! My favorite part is the changing color of the leaves. I am a huge fan of cooking, so I might make some pumpkin squares or something this weekend.
Like your decorating ideas, especially that they are easy & on a budget!
Thanks for the ideas!
You are welcome, thanks for stopping by Beth!
That was fun to read…I also love the fall smell of anything pumpkin and will be trying that recipe tomorrow! Thanks:)
Great post! I love fall, house decorated, pretty centerpiece……now on to pumpkin baking!!!
Love pumpkin and pecan dump cake and pumpkin butterscotch bread AND applesauce cake with cream cheese frosting…and lighting candles anytime of day – thanks for the post!
Love the decorating ideas especially using what you have and being creative with it! I’ll be looking for fresh inspiration around my house all day! The recipe would be perfect for sharing with family too!
Summer slips into fall almost unnoticed here in Florida. Your ideas will help us enjoy the crispness of the season, in spite of the temperature outdoors! I’m anxious to visit your blog and discover what else is up your sleeve! (P.S. I, too, am a pastor’s wife with three children, ‘though all grown and out on their own now.)
Nice to meet you, Nancy! Thanks so much for connecting. Two out of my three kids are grown and on their own. One 13 year old left :-). I’m savoring THAT too! 🙂
Fun to see you over here, Melissa! Is it weird to say I recognized your ottoman before I saw who wrote this post? (giggle)
I’m trying to hold on to every bit of Fall loveliness before it slips away! I appreciate your practical and beautiful suggestions.
