In a couple of weeks (sadly already in the stores) we will be inundated with all things Christmas. My absolute favorite time of year is fall. Perhaps it is because we really don’t have one here on the Central Coast. Let’s savor a few glances of fall décor at it’s best ,before it is replaced by all the craziness that is Christmas.

Anne says
Yum! Makes me want to bring some pumpkin into the mix…. except having teal sofas puts a crimp in the color choices… ;- )
Leslie Harris says
I know!! I don't feel ready to leave the colors and world of Fall yet. October flew by, and I'm trying to hold on to November. Hope all is well…

Cozy Chic!!! franki
Mary Ann Pickett says
I love these shades so much. This is my favorite time of year too!
Sheila Irwin says
Oh gosh Cindy, I couldn't agree more. I wasn't on IG last year but the rush to Christmas on there is CRAZY! It's one thing for the stores to do it but some of these women had their trees up before Halloween! I've just never seen anything like it. I absolutely love Thanksgiving and plan to luxuriate in our (finally!) cooler weather and fallish decor for another month. I say one holiday at a time!
Love this post – photos are great and I am pinning like crazy:)
Thanks,
Sheila

Not a sprig of Christmas on 34th Street until December 1st.
The warmth of orange . . . The images you have chosen for this post are like sipping Grande Marnier!
I love your living room, Cindy. I cannot tell you how many times I click on that post from your feature in Tuscan Living!

Cindy says

La Contessa says
My LIVING ROOM is ORANGE!!!!!!!!

Cindy says
No I am not surprised and yuk!!
Celia Becker @ After Orange County says
Cindy, I could not agree more. Christmas comes way too soon for me every year too! I wish we could make Christmas come around every-other-year.
Cindy says
Now that is a great idea!!
Julie Taylor and Danni Greenwalt says
Your so right…let us enjoy Fall why we can!
Cindy says
Amen!! Julie send me your address…Beau has some treats for you!!
Karen says
Cindy,
I agree, I love autumn and it saddens me that retail has rushed us past this most beautiful time of year. Fall is short changed and when you're ready to begin to decorate for Thanksgiving you're hard pressed to find pumpkins or anything but pine and Christmas ornaments! I love a could of these rooms and could be very happy living in them year round. 🙂
xo,
Karen
Cindy says
Karen we sure didn't get much Autumn this year did we? I hope you got the rain we did yesterday!!

These are all gorgeous! I love the warm colors. That room with the overscale leaf art is my favorite because it is "cheerful cozy." 🙂 In middle Georgia we don't even HAVE our colorful leaves until November. It seems like the week before Thanksgiving is peak leaf week here. Thank you for the inspiration!
Cindy says
Thanksgiving must be absolutely beautiful there.
Katie Clooney says
Cindy… I love those pops of color. I could live in any of those gorgeous rooms.
Cindy says
I could as well Katie that's why I chose them!!
Debra Phillips says
i would be happy to live with these rooms all year long…..not the pastel sort.
having a shop, and hating the christmas goods out too early, i have always resisted until nov. 1st. but noooo, this is year two for taking out christmas mid october, because people kept asking!!! we relented and our sales have soared….go figure!

I love love love these touches of orange, especially the deeper tones. They surprise, and they add a real touch of luxe. I find I'm seeking orange out as accents these days, particularly in clothing. (I put on my favorite pumpkin skirt with black this weekend – just around the house!)
Beautiful, Cindy. As always!
Cindy says
I feel I am drawn to orange more and more as well! So funny the comment about the orange and black…I am not real tall when I do that I do indeed sort of look like a pumpkin!!
Kim @ Savvy Southern Style says
Many bloggers are already sharing Christmas. It's just way too early. A lot of them started sharing fall in August so of course they are ready for Christmas decor now. I'm waiting until after Thanksgiving. I'm hosting and I say one holiday at a time.
Cindy says
Hooray for you Kim! I agree!!
Kelly - Talk of the House says
Amen Kim!
Erika Morris says
Beautiful autumn pictures. Orange is such a beautiful color…with neutrals, with blue, or more. Thanks for posting!
Cindy says
I agree Erika !! I am loving it more and more all the time
Nancy Powell says
