Inspiring Outdoor Fall Settings

Love these outdoor spaces in Southern Living. The weather is perfect right now in the evening to cook out, light your outdoor fireplace however small or large it may be and enjoy the crisp Fall outdoors!
"Use antique brick for outdoor patios and fireplaces. The brick in the courtyard came from old buildings that were torn down. The biggest problem with antique brick is there are several different sizes and it tends to get mixed up. Set the brick in sand, rather than concrete, to give a relaxed and aged look. Plus, the sand helps level odd-size bricks."


"An outdoor fireplace makes it comfortable to sit outside on cool Fall evenings. Add touches of the season around the mantle and the hearth. Add seasonal décor to the hearth and mantle of your fireplace with arrangements of pumpkins, gourds, and fall leaves."

Here you can view all of the outdoor settings and get inspired!

Thanks Keita for letting us take a few Fall snapshots of your wonderful home. Hopefully this will inspire others the way it did us! Love this arrangement greeting you in the entry...Beautiful!
Tea carts are a fabulous way to display seasonal vignettes and also very usable to serve from. This one has been crackled and distressed with a caramel finish. What a great job they did!

One Charming Chicken House!

Well we had our quarterly employee breakfast at Keita's house for the Fall. Thank-you for the wonderful breakfast and hospitality-we all enjoyed so much! This is her chicken house in her backyard-I think it is the most precious thing I have ever seen!
All her girls have names and I'm not sure who this is-but perhaps Dinah? These are large bantam hens which lay the most beautiful pale blue and green eggs. And they are so sweet!
Check out this chicken window!

Oh even a Fall wreath on the door-so inspiring! What fun! More pictures to come....
