Late Summer Decorating

According to the calendar, we have about one month of summer left.

It is the time of year when the garden changes from the lighter colours of summer to the more intense colours of late summer and early autumn.

The seasons are ever-changing and we flow from one to the next.

The pumpkins are still growing in the fields so it is too early to bring them into our home decor, but not too early to start transitioning.

One of the easiest ways to transition is to bring in some of the brighter yellows,  golds, deep greens, and browns.




Have some fun with it.






Try out some new throw pillow covers.

I change my pillow covers frequently.  I always use the same feather inserts and the best price I have found for these is at Ikea.





Whenever throw pillows come with inserts I usually give them away and use my feather inserts.

I like the way the feather inserts mould to my back, they are easy to fluff, and they never get hard or flat.  They are easy to store when not in use and take up less storage space.  That is because the air can be pushed out of the inserts and then placed in a sealed plastic bag.






I store the pillow covers in a storage box in my linen closet.

This owl looks at us as though he thinks the human race is out to lunch.  He is cute, though, and he makes me smile.

The jug holding the flowers is Jacobean and very old.  It belonged to my grandmother.  Unfortunately, it has a chip and a crack that you can't see because the flowers cover it.

The jug is almost the same colour as the gold velvet pillows.
The crystals are also gold-coloured.

I almost always have a stack of books somewhere.

There are just two types of flowers in the pitcher Black-eyed Susans and Astilbe.

The leopard print is just fun and adds a bit of quirkiness to the decor.
Animal prints are still popular.

The horse pitcher, which I believe is actually a creamer, holds more of the same flowers with the addition of some Maiden Hair Fern curled down over the handle.


I have done some sourcing of pillows which you can see below.

Looking ahead, I have focussed on the fall season as well and found some fun pillows to round out fall decor.

These are some of my favourites so far.

My owl cushion is no longer available, but I found another one that is similar.

Have some fun planning your Fall decor.
