From what I see, most have either begun or at least thought about their fall decorating. For those who have mantels they can be a beautiful and colorful focal point.
(Before you continue, let me warn you that I am a little bitter today. In my final comments I am not referring to any one blog or person, it's an overall thing)

It's difficult for me to find mantels that I really like. I am not much into what I call "Baby Furniture" decorating meaning just filling in with whatever. I see this quite often in homes where individuals fill in with furniture that is too small for the room.
I enjoy lush, fullness and uniqueness. I am so over the
"copy cat" syndrome as well.
Our homes should reflect Us not Us and everyone eles' home.
This fall be unique, take a walk outside, use nature, fill in with lushness, let your decorating speak who you are. Use larger pieces to catch the eye not gaudy . . .lush, warm.
I apologize, but I am so tired of seeing the same thing in every one's home. I love it when I come across a blog that shows true uniqueness and sophistication.
