It has been said that Florida lacks a change in seasons, and many jokes have been made. But as a life-long Floridian I can assure you Florida has a beautiful change in seasons. It may not come with a drastic temperature drop or traditional fall foliage, but there is a crispness in the air and October is my favorite time of year. Trust me, Florida fall is beautiful!
To welcome guests and make my home feel holiday-ready, I love to swap out my decor for something more seasonal. Owls have a special place in my heart, so when I saw the white owl cookie jar on my recent trip to the Better Homes And Gardens headquarters, I had to have one. I am so excited to finally show you how I incorporated some of my inspiration from that trip into simple fall decoration ideas for my home.

Oh, and I have to tell you — everything (except the mini pumpkins) on top of the table came from Walmart. (The bottom shelf is filled with items I already had around the house.)

While a glowing candle is pretty on its own, I couldn’t resist the fall candle sleeves with the leaf cut outs — also a Better Homes and Gardens product.


I wanted to add some natural color, and since we don’t have naturally orange and red fall foliage I picked up the colorful branches at Walmart. (In the season section with the wreath making materials if you are looking.)


Happy Fall Ya’ll!
