Our back door is the most used door in our house. Family, friends and neighbors all enter through this door. It’s right by the driveway welcoming people as they arrive, so naturally it needs seasonal decor.
But, these fall decorations are so simple they may not even be post worthy. The truth is I like simple understated seasonal decor. Mums in a basket, a swan squash (love those) and pumpkin along with a fall pillow on the adirondack chair is as simple as it gets. Hmmm … I’m noticing an unintentional bird theme in my fall decor.
cool nights, harvest moon
turning leaves, apple picking
this is September

Oh this is fall perfection at its finest! A truly cozy vignette.
While we don’t have much fall here in Phoenix I would love for you to stop by to see where I did find a bit of fall.
Have a blessed day!
If it’s got a white adirondack chair, then it’s good with me! 🙂 I saw one of those squashes at the farmer’s market just today and I didn’t know what they were called. Now I know! And I want one…
I like simple, too. I hauled our adirondack chairs to the front porch and called it a day. It snowed today, so that sort of takes the fun out of being outside in the fall. Hopefully the warm comes back next week!
I’d love to see some photos of your autumn landscape! I’ve never seen a swan squash before. Very cool!
This is just perfect, Mary! Very simple and sweet. I love the swan squash and usually find a nice variety here every fall. I’m so happy I found your blog through the feature on Brenda’s blog. Your home is just beautiful! I’m happy to be following your blog!
Have a wonderful fall weekend!
XO,
Jane
I too love understated seasonal decor, and yours is perfect! Your backdoor looks very welcoming – Happy Autumn!
Charming and inviting. Just what a home should be.
Visiting from Brenda’s blog (Cozy Little House) today.
All our family have keys to our place but friends usually use our side gate and back door but we are looking after my sons little dog and he is a bit of an adventurer and escape artist and we live on a busy road, so everyone is using the front door now. I do love the swan squash.

Hi Mary,
I’m just stopping by for a minute from Brenda’s, to say how much I love your darling home! Your photographs are wonderful too. Hope you are having a nice first day of fall. I look forward to reading your lovely blog!
Cheers, Andrea
Just discovered your blog and just love everything you’ve done. My husband and I are in the process of fixing up a lake cottage in NH so the inspiration from you is very welcome. I just tried Annie Sloan chalk paint and am also hooked.
Very pretty Mary! Just saw your pretty home featured at Brenda’s, adding you to my blog list!
Hi Mary, I just popped over from Brenda’s blog. I do love those swan gourds, every year I put one out, it “walks”! I have to keep it inside. I am following you on email now, too. I liked the wool blanket tutorial. I am going to look for fabric and see if I can sew it on my little portable machine. xo
I’m with you Mary – simple is best! Love your little swan squash – I’ll have to find one of my own!
