Will "WHITE" Be The Winning Color For Fall?

 
 My Top REPINS On Pinterest

Pinterest has a plethora of beautiful images to pin for Fall. I thought it would be fun to go to my very own board for fall, and see what other pinners are liking the most.

The criteria : The pin has to have at the least 6 repins!!

Lets begin with just a sampling of what you will see on my boards………

FALLISH

8 repins!

It looks as if all white is gaining momentum!

15 repins


Top repin with 23 pins!!
I thought the white pumpkins were going to be the top repins, but it looks as if pinners still want a little color in their lives.

Do you prefer the softer side of Fall with whites, and neutrals, or do you like the colorful side of Fall?

15 Ways To Add Fall To YOUR Home Without Orange



Fall decorating can be hard for a Springtime gal like myself. In years past I have developed a decorating plan that seems to work for me.

It all started with a list!!! I made a list of elements that evoked a Fall look that I do enjoy……..

Wooden bowls

Wooden turned candlesticks

By having this list on hand it makes it easier for me to change my décor to a more Fall-like look.

You will notice that in my list there are no russets, or oranges! 

So you see it is possible to decorate for Fall without using any of the colors in the orange family!!

Do you like to us traditional autumnal colors, or are you like me?

For more ideas that I like for Fall go to my Pinterest board, "FALLISH!"
