Hello, this is Jeanette from the blog Fryd + Design making a visit while Kirsten is away. Kirsten asked me if I could make a post on my favorite fall decor, and of course. I´m so happy she asked!

For me the autumn is all about the light and colors, we have the most wonderful light here in Norway at this time of year. Let me show you,
I´m so exited and I hope you will like my pics for fall.
I like to see my house as a blank canvas, mostly painted in white. That way I can bring in colors through pictures, pillows, flowers etc that I can easily change. Right now I love yellow and orange together with pink, I like warm colors when it´s getting colder outside.


This time of year is also all about handiwork for me and at the time I´m all into crocheting. I love my small dolls and they keep popping up every were in the house. They are so easy to make if you know how to crochet, just use your imagination :)



I wish you all a happy day and I hope the wonderful autumn sun will shine on you!

Guest Blogger: Ish and Chi

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Hi! My name is Viv and I am the author of a blog called Ish & Chi where I document my home decorating projects. I also have an Etsy store by the same name. I am filling in for Kirsten while she is away. Simply Grove is one of my favourite reads so a big thanks to Kirsten for allowing me to fill in for the day and so nice to ‘meet’ you all.

Kirsten asked me to share with you some of my favourite fall décor and inspiration for the season. It’s spring here in Australia but the weather has been rather chilly (I’ve had the heating on the last few days!) so it wasn’t difficult at all to switch my brain into this season.

The cold weather has seen me drawn to darker, grey interiors which I think looks lovely combined with rich golds, olives, and burnt orange as seen in images 1 and 2.

My favourite fall décor are the pillows I own which you can see in image 3. They are so soft and remind me of knitted cardigan with their button closures along one side. In the chilly evenings I usually bring out my fluffy grey scarf seen in image 4. I end up hardly ever taking off in winter.

Thank you for reading! I would love to hear about your favourite fall décor. Do you have items that you bring out for the home when the weather starts to get cold?

Thanks again and thanks Kirsten!
