The big names in color are ushering in fall with earthy, authentic neutrals paired with vibrant, optimistic hues.
Sherwin Williams recently announced that their 2017 Color of the Year is Poised Taupe, describing it as earthen brown combined with conservative gray to form a weathered, woodsy that celebrates the imperfections and authenticity of a well-lived life. Pantone has a similar neutral in their Fall color lineup called Warm Taupe they describe as organic and grounded.

Top 5 Tips for Fall Decorating and Sweet Dreams Event
Time to welcome in Autumn!
Fall is a time when we’re back indoors again and thinking ahead to the cooler months when we’ll want to be cozy and comfortable. This is a great time to tackle those projects that can make life easier during the hectic entertaining season!
- Make sure your entryway is prepared for all those wet, muddy shoes, coats, backpacks, umbrellas and hats. Keep a colorful throw rug (non-slip, of course) near the door as a landing place for wet things.
- Don’t forget Fall flowers near the front door. Cooler weather is the time to change the begonias to Mums.
- Plan out your seasonal display areas. Go through your decorations and note any items that need to be replaced.
- Get your guest room in order. Remember those cozy touches like a good reading lamp, a few books, and extra blankets. Have some extra toiletries on hand in case your guest forget something!
- Stock your fireplace so you’re ready to light that first fire, and don’t forget to bring out the cozy throws for the sofa.

I’m feeling very Fall-ish today. The weather in Chicago has finally turned cooler, although I enjoyed the warm weather we’ve had. I’ve been thinking about what it is about Fall that inspires me and thought I’d share that with you.
Ahhh, Fall!
I enjoy seeing the color play that is Fall; the golds, reds, oranges and greens of the trees against a brilliant blue sky. I love seeing peoples’ homes dressed with welcoming pumpkin and wreath displays, as well as seeing lighted windows against the darkening sky. It makes me feel cozy, and happy that I have a warm and comfortable home.

I love seeing bare branches against the dusky sky- the gradations of blue as night falls behind blackened branches. It makes me want to paint.
I love the sound of Fall- the rustling of the leaves as they blow around or are crunched under your feet, the honking of geese as they fly overhead, the sound of children enjoying the dwindling days of being able to play outside.
Makes me want to curl up in front of the fire with a good book!
I love the smell of Fall. The smell of a wood fire in the fireplace or the scent of wood burning in the air. The loamy, earthy scent of decaying plants signal the time for preparing for Winter. I love the indoor smells- apples baking, stews and warming soups simmering. Pure comfort.
What inspires you about Fall? Do you love it or hate that it signals that Winter is coming? I don’t know that I could live in a place that didn’t experience all four seasons. I certainly know that I would miss Fall.
