I am usually so tired of our Texas heat, that I am ready to decorate for fall. I don't decorate as much as I used to, but I do change out accessories on my mantel, dining tables, and entry hall. I love all the pretty whites above, but I stick with traditional fall colors.

I also like to add some whimsy, so I switch out a small framed art in my coastal themed guest bedroom seasonally.

Melinda, I’m tired of our SoCal heat, too!🥵 Cooling down with rain this weekend.👍🏻

I bought all my pumpkins and even have some that lasted from last fall. The yellow-ish “Blaze” one here is one of several from last October, along with the green one in the second pic. Love me some pumpkins.😊

I’ve posted these before…some whimsy for fall/Halloween.

I think someone posted this here once as an example of Halloween overkill.😳

I add a few Halloween items to my fall porch display about mid-October. They are more cute than scary like Chloebud's above. I also have an ancient 3-D puzzle of a haunted house that I assemble. I call it my annual cognitive and dexterity test. ;)

I got inspro from Blayke Silva video for my table.

I vote for the darker green. That color seems to have a history with home libraries (rather than rooms with books), and it look fantastic, providing a very British Library feeling.

I admit it is a color, almost the same shade as I used in my bedroom. The celing and all the walls and doorways and trim and baseboards are done in it and, in my opinion, it is perfect! I love the dark sensuality of it, the relaxing vibe, the way it draws me in to sleep.

I also enhance it with 40-watt incandescent bulbs in the table lamps so there is never a clash with bright light and dark surroundings. But that wouldn't work for a library where you plan to read unless you use very low wattage bulbs in any lamps besides the one you have next to your favorite reading spot.

I would look for a fabric that has just a touch of green in the pattern/colorway, to tie it into whatever green you choose for the walls.

The darker green, but with a different color ceiling.

That is stunnng already with a promise to be the queen of the ball.

Thank you!

Just delightful.
