I plan on changing out pillows and assessories to fall colors and touches of metal art!
I am updating my place by painting my guest bathroom gray and adding yellow and marigold acccents. I also plan on building a wine rack from an old bookcase (DIY project from Pintrest). I also plan on adding blue and orange accents in my kitchen. Oh and a pretty wreath for the door…gotta add something to the outside!
Fall cleaning and trying to get Grandkids photos out of camera and onto paper to hang on the walls.
Paint! Paint! Paint!
Our house didn't sell, so we don't get to build the new one anytime soon. Maybe more pictures of the family and kids will help in the current house.
I love the colors of fall. I decorate a lot with pumpkins and apples. I light cinnamon candles and bake apple cobbler from a local apple orchard. The smells are delicious!
Just took some amazing photos of a cave for wall art. The colors are amazing and snapfish is great to use for these DIY projects. I can't wait.
In the fall I like to change the bedding and accessories in my room to rich fall colors, such as burnt Orange. Currently I have a gray quilted spread with lime green throw and pillows. In the fall I will change those to burnt Orange. I then add burnt orange accesories with a splash of forest green and mustard yellow and its a complete new room.
maybe once it cools down outside, I will be able to spruce up the back side of the house with some fresh paint….
My home is newly built and completed!! No update needed!
We are updating by getting ready for our 2nd baby, due in late fall! We are doing a ton of reorganizing, rearranging furniture, etc., to fit all of the gear that the baby will need!
Maybe change a few accessories around the house
I put up pics of my kids in the leaves and put out fall decor.
We will be updating our nursery into a toddler room!
I will pull out all my decor that is fall colored and cordinate each room. I love looking at magazines and getting great ideas. Floral arrangements are my favorite was to update a room for a holiday or season!
We'll be updating by either purchasing a home (after renting for 4 years; we're waiting to hear from seller's bank on our short sale offer) or by purging excess clutter in our existing apartment and adding some accessories in autumn earth tones (rust, brown, celery green, etc.) Of course, since we live in New England, all we have to do is open the curtains to bring magnificent foliage views and color into our home.
I enjoy changing our accessories for each season. Pillows, candles, and flowers all change colors for the season. This year I would like to purchase new curtains for my living room in a bold pattern. I always wanted to learn how to sew and make my own pillows and curtains….maybe this fall I could pull that new sewing machine that I got 7 years ago finally out of its box!
Im decorating my living room a new portrait would make it complete ..email this winner help please.
Will decorate our new house with family photos
I’ve taken quite a few pictures from concerts this summer. I’m going to create a “Rock Star” wall in my stairway and entry hall.
Tearing down the sheet my fiance has as a room divider and putting in something a little more classy.
I will be making a large painted sign on an old barn plank to hang above our TV, as well as making a new wreath for the front door. Oh, and of course putting out fall scented candles and fall decor!
I'm planning on doing counter intuitive design this fall. Going with silver, gray, white, lots of texture, lots of organic shapes to embrace the cold rather than fight it. I'm going to experiment with making my environment reflect the outdoors (so hope we have snow!) I have a series of gorgeous full moon shots that I took from my balcony. I also have some wonderful shots of trees without leaves after the fall. Very ethereal. I'd love to put some of these on canvas to hang as a group over my sofa.
I plan to change the drapery and get some nice fall plants! Ooh, and if I'm lucky enough to win, I'll finally add prints from our wedding to the walls!
After having 3 nous home all summer there are many repairs to be made! So, I will try to incorporate fall updates as well.
Decorate our front porch with fall decorations. Some new photos to hang up would be nice!
I change my plants, candles, And my hand soaps for the season! By doing these, I get to feel the changing of the season (we live in south Alabama so we dont "see" the seasons change) and not spend a lot doing it!
Finishing painting and hanging pictures!
Oh!!! That would be the perfect finishing touch in our living room!
I am a mom to 3 awesome children. My oldest is 5, then 2.5 and 1. I realized today that I only have baby pictures of my first born displayed on the walls. Busy mom or bad mom?!
I"ll put away the light airy summer decor and replace it with a fall color inspired theme. Changing wall art too so the deer art & woodsy, hunting lodge look will have my family space to be warmed up and inviting. Something new to use would do wonders to update my style.
Plan on decorating my study. We have lived in this house for a year and it still has unpacked boxes in it.
For Fall decor I love bringing in deep reds, oranges and browns to our home. Pillows are a fun simple way but I also love filling vases with colorful leaves and acorns or pine cones for depth.
I love fall! Going to take out my fall wreaths and I would like to decorate my front yard with some colorful mums, straw bales and maybe a couple of scarecrows too! For the indoors, getting my favorite "fall leaves" tablecloth ready and my pie dishes out for the kitchen and the baking!
New colorful (fall colors) duvet covers for all the comfy, cozy comforters for each bed. Relatively budget-friendly update with HUGE impact.
Paint the smallest bedroom and replace the entry door.
When I think of the fall, I picture my husband and I cozy up at home for a movie. So this fall I am updating the home decor with some classic theater inspired arts and accents around the living room. The movie theater surrounding will make us feel like we are having a romantic night on the town, when really we are saving by being at home.
I will be updating by finally finishing our basement.
Before I can update it for fall, I need to convince my hubby to help me decorate the house, so we don't have plain walls! That will be my update is to decorate my house!
My boyfriend and I are moving into our first NYC apartment this fall and this would be so great! We both love photography, so I can't think of a more perfect way to decorate!
After spending the past three years self renovating our first home, we will be spending the next few months decorating!
Printing and framing fall pictures of my 2 1/2 year old grandson.
For fall I will be cleaning out my kids closets and trying to organize them so they will be able to help put their clothes away. They are 4,3, and 1 1/2. I have lots of pictures of them I would love to put up.
I am planning to paint all the ceilings on my main floor. They are looking a little grey. I am sure the small change will make a big difference. Also, I am swapping out my sisal rug for a richly colored oriental.
I newly moved out of my old dorm. I have a brandnew apt and 3 nice roomys now.
We decided to attach our name tags to each door. Btw, the first letters of our names are HGTV!
Painting my living room with a new paint color
We moved in almost 11 years ago and finished rooms need refreshing and unfinished rooms need finishing!!
I love the change of seasons…new beginnings! Can't wait to get started with changing our family room into a fall wonderland:). I think I will use oranges & yellows to be accents on my neutral couch. Adding some new canvas photos to the walls would be a welcomed addition:)
I am buying new curtains, hanging new photos, and rotating my home decor accents.
I love to bring in warm colors. And since I live in Florida, I scatter silk fall leaves on the mantle, etc. so I feels like fall for me.
