Welcome, Fall!
I love fall. In fact, I think I love decorating for fall more than Christmas (although, that is fun too!)
For the past few months, I have been pinning away on Pinterest all of my fall inspiration. So many great ideas out there!
This past weekend, I managed to find some time to “fall-ify” The 236. Here’s how it all turned out!
I love decorating with mums, pumpkins and fall foliage. I opted for a variety of bright, colourful mums to add some punch to the front porch.
These cute little pumpkins were just too sweet! I bought a whole bag of them and stacked two on top of each other. Aren’t the colours beautiful?
The next area that I addressed was the front foyer console table. Normally a drop zone for crapola, I decided to dress the console with more fall decor.
Pumpkins, fall foliage in an old tea pot and a delicious smelling mulled apple cider candle — yes please! The candle wrapped in fabric was a quick and easy project — more on that in another post.
And, of course, what’s fall decor without a token glass cloche? I snagged this little guy up at the thrift store and he just completes the space. More on him later as well!
Last, but not least, the stairs. This is our first official holiday where I can dress the new stairs. If you recall, our foyer looked like this since we moved into the house. Not so pretty, right?
I had been eyeing these Martha Stewart Crafts Mice Silhouettes for quite some time. I was happy to see that Michael’s carries them, so I made sure to snag a package last time I was there.
Now, I have to warn you — the next bunch of photos may kill you with cuteness. Say hello to The 236′s resident Chocolate Lab named Mason.
Ain’t he cute? And the stairs — those mice make my day every time I walk in the front door!
So,there you have it — The 236 is all ready for autumn. Bring on the fallen leaves, warm sweaters and pumpkin pie!

Well, NOW you’ve done it.
You’ve KILLED me with CUTENESS.
Oh how I love Fall – looks great! Your stairs look great – even better with your most adorable dog
I love your front door! Those little pumpkins are the cutest and the steps are adorable!
I am SO in love with those mice silhouettes. I don’t have any stairs in my house, but i do have a lot of little hidden corners that are desperate for some halloween fun! In other news, Mason is ridiculously adorable and I would like to give him a big smooshy hug, unfortunately Gizmo is the jealous type so we’ll just pretend i didn’t say that

Everything looks so good! I have been looking for those mice everywhere!! The last time I was in Michael’s they didn’t have them >:( Mason looks super impressed by his new friends
My local Michael’s had a whole bunch of them. Check back this weekend – maybe they got more stock in?
Your Fall decorating is gorgeous. Those little mice are so cute! I would love a piece of pumpkin pie too!
Have a wonderful Fall weekend.
Best wishes,
Natasha.

Thanks so much! I’ve just linked up!
Looks great!
& YES, he is cute as he can be!
Eeee!!!! I LOVE your pup! And, of course the mice
I just put them on my stairs, but unfortunately they’re carpeted so it’s just not as cute. Love the little pumpkins with them too!
Love your fall crafts! We have a chocolate lab as well and I thought she was posing in those pictures….what a cute dog!!
I love your pictures of Mason! We have a chocolate lab too and it just warms my heart to see those types of pictures! So cute.
I love the fall decorations you have out too!
Have a great day.

Your dog is adorable. Mine would probably try to eat the pumpkin if I set it in front of him like that. Found your blog via Beneath My Heart. Off to browse!
Thanks for the comment, Sarah! Off to go browse your blog as well! Thanks for visiting.
Those mice totally got me! They look so real! You definitely nailed this one! Super cute!
