    Fall Decor without the Kitsch

    We're back from our summer break!!! It was a bit extended because Kelly was helping her MIL and Anita moved her mom to Texas from Oklahoma. Summer is officially over and we are very excited to be back and talking about fall decor! Our best advice is to go natural and simple. We don't like the idea of spending a fortune of decor that you just use once. If you are going to buy something for the fall, invest in something worth keeping and using every year. Be sure to check out Anita's Cedar Hill Farmhouse wallpaper collection on the Cedar Hill Farmhouse website HERE. You can also go straight to the wallpaper site HERE and HERE. Anita uses these fall dishes every year. We are a part of the Amazon and other retailer affiliate programs, and if you make a purchase we can earn money. SPODE WOODLAND DISHES HERE ROYAL STAFFORD SAG DISHES HERE SPODE DELEMERE DISHES HERE Some other fall decor items you might enjoy are listed below with links. DRIED FALL WREATH HERE STAUB PETITE CERAMIC PUMPKIN BAKER HERE AMBER DRINKING GLASSES HERE PENDLETON YAKIMA WOOL THROW HERE BLACK CANDLESTICK HOLDERS HERE BLACK CHECK LAYERING DOOR MAT HERE DTT defines Georgian style that includes Sheraton, Chippendale, Hepplewhite, and Adam style CRUSHES: Anita's crush is this gorgeous set of Spode William Morris dishes.
