I was a busy worker bee today – putting the finishing touches on the fall decorations and taking pictures for this post. Not to mention making granola and granola bars and homemade bread for the week. Those things, together with the plazillion scented candles, have our house smelling heavenly. You’ll have to take my word on that part. The decorations though? Those I can show you. As promised. I hope you don’t mind taking your shoes off though – the dust does a real number on our concrete floors.
Right this way then. Here’s a little glimpse of what Autumn look like in the desert.
This last one isn’t really a fall decoration. But I came across it and thought I’d show you the place cards we made for Thanksgiving last year. Cute, no?
Yeah, so there you have it. Our humble abode in all its Autumn glory. I’m finding it pretty cozy myself. So much so that if you’ll excuse me I’m going to slip into my pj’s and meet my husband on the couch for our weekly Amazing Race date.
If you’re looking for a bit more decor inspiration though, click on over to the Hooked on Houses fall tour. That’s where my motivation came from. Oh. And be sure to invite me if you post your own decorations – I’d love to see them!

Your home looks amazing! I’m jealous…
Awe.some.
Jealous, and thinking I might hear Michael’s calling my name….
Your home looks beautiful! And I think the place card is very cool. Thanks for the tour! :-)
Your house is seriously amazing!
Very festive. I like autumn in the desert.
And what a beautiful adobe abode (you like that) it is! I love your furniture. We sooooo have the same taste. I especially loved the wine glass candle and the wreath on the door (I am a sucker for sunflowers). Those placecard holders are very unique, too. I may have to make some of those for my in-laws, who you may remember me telling you are in the wine business! And if that is how you decorate for Fall, I can’t wait to see your house decorated for Christmas! (hint, hint). Well, have a great week.
I want to visit. So cozy. And stylish. I have no style.
Your home is gorgeous and so cozy! I’m inspired!
Very nice. Did you do some upgrades to your front yard since we left?
Autumn in the desert looks exactly like spring and summer in the desert according to the first pic you posted.
I hope those scented candles aren’t the type that makes ones nose stuffy.
Can’t hardly wait for that tofu turkey!
Oh my, your house is SO beautiful! Add me to the jealous list!!
I guess I’ll have to be added to the jealous list! It’s beautiful!
Once we find a new house, can I hire you to decorate? Gorgeous! So warm and inviting! Thanks for sharing. The tour was lovely. Now, if only I could stop by for a glass of wine!!
Love it! It very much inspires me to gather up some leaves and pumpkins of my own – from the craft store of course.
Your home looks so warm and rich. I especially heart your wheat bucket. Everything looks fabulous (altho we all know you totally scrubbed up for that photo shoot. At least those of us with a houseful of kids know!)
Love the decorations!! Your house is sooo pretty! :) (and cozy… and clean for having 4 kids!)
Fabulous decorating! You make the desert look so cozy and warm.
You’re a crafty one, for sure. And your house really is extremely inviting. I love that you make it so cozy, clean, and aesthetic.
Gorgeous! Your home, your decorations, everything!!
Mmmmm…I can smell all the apple cinnamon-y goodness now. Did you recently buy ALL of this? Or is some of it from years past?
Very pretty! I’m a little late on this post obviously!
