Fall is undoubtedly my favorite time of year.
Football, cooler weather, fall colors, soft sweaters, raking leaf piles and letting the kids jump in them,
visiting the pumpkin patch, carving pumpkin, warm apple cider...the list goes on and on.

It is finally cooling down here and we have had a breath of fresh cool air blow in...
really gives me new energy to face each busy day...

I found this squirrel nut cracker at our local antique mall and snatched him right up.
He still works!

I also found these antique locks and until I get my wall grouping of pictures for the family room and dining rooms decided upon...they get to hang out here. I thought they were a fun addition, along with
my mother's riding helmet. I really love to add family treasures that have meaning when I put things together.
Old books are wonderful and fun to decorate with...
I thought the back side of them had wonderful fall colors to display...

Our front entrance gets a lot of natural light which I love.
Large glass vases and bowls just glow in the light...
I found this one recently at TJ Maxx.
I hope you enjoyed the tour.
You can see more of my front entrance including remodeling before and after pics HERE.

Beautiful entrance Kristine, you did a beautiful job with the fall vignette, it's my fav season for everything, decorating, birthday, fun and everything else! I love the little side table with the pretty glass bubble! Hugs, FABBY
Beautiful entry! Definitely makes me want to sit down and stay a while! :)
I shot right over from Marty's to see your beautiful entry way.. oh my goodness, it screams fall..love all the natural elements you used along with family treasures.. hugs ~lynne~
I so love your natural look and the family heirlooms that really put a meaning into your lovely entry. You could look all over the place and not find another JUST LIKE yours. I love that fact.
Beautiful.
What a beautiful entryway you have, so large and spacious! I have no entryway, so I can only imagine how much fun you must have decorating yours. It's just beautiful!

Gorgeous. Your chest is lovely and your vignette is so pretty. I love the stack of books and the large glass pieces, plus the hats are fantastic. So pretty. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
How beautiful! Your entrance looks so warm and inviting.
Your entrance is so beautiful! I love your arrangement on that gorgeous chest and love the little stool with the basket! I really envy all the beautiful light you have streaming in! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Kristine,
Being a former librarian...I adore your use of books in the entry! Lovely hues. Stunning with the fresh green,also. That nut cracker squirrel is just too cute!
Fondly,
Pat
Lovely, and elegant looking. Love the big glass vases-especially the one with the green leaves. I like all the light coming in-of course I couldn't do that- I would have to dust too much!LOL!
Just gorgeous! Love the squirrel.
You have done a wonderful job. Just lovely.
We live on a lake, too.
Barb
Your home looks stunning! I am kind of wishing it was Fall again after seeing this. I'm not sure I'm going to cope seeing all the wonderful Autumn posts in blogland at the moment!
Take care and best wishes,
Natasha.
You have a beautiful entryway with so much light. I love the windows on either side of the door. And you have a lot of interesting, meaningful pieces to look at, too. Linking up via Roomspiration. New follower.
Hi Kristine...I'm shug and I am stopping over to see you from Martys place...Love your entrance and I am always a fan of greenery...
I just posted this morning how I am really having a difficult time decorating this year...glad I stopped by..

Looks awesome, Kristine. You always do a great job decorating. But, how do you keep your house so clean with 4 kids and 2 dogs??? My house is always borderline disaster, and I can't keep up with the dust bunnies and pet hair:(
Your entry looks great and I like your use of the leaves in the large glass vases. They're so pretty with the light shining through. Cute squirrel nutcracker, too.
Babs
Looks wonderful, so inviting and cozy!
This is all really pretty. You are so lucky to have a nice big entry. The big glass vase is just perfect. Looking forward to more!
Beautiful! Two things I'm drooling the most over is that big glass vase in your entry and then your mom's riding helmet. Oh how I'd love to have both!
Love your vignette in the entryway! Love the big jar with the leaves. Kristen
Kristine what a beautiful vignette on your entry table! Your entry is beautiful! Found you over at Courtney's FNF and just became your newest follower! Would love it if you followed me back! Martina
You have such a beautiful entryway and decorated so pretty and elegant! I saw that large, glass bottle at TJMaxx too, it looks so nice where you have it!
Kristine the entry way is so inviting!! Love all the neat touches and the way you turned the books so the pages instead of the binding was showing. Very unique!

Hi Kristine...
Oooh...your autumn entry is just gorgeous! What a warm, cozy, and inviting space...just as an entry should be! I just adore the beautiful autumn vignette that you created for the top of the entryway chest. The large glass vase with the branches and leaves...sooo pretty! I also like the way you used the old milk can! Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous autumn home with us...this was such a treat!
I'm coming over from Kim's WOW party where she showcased your lovely entry! I'm so glad that I did! Just wanted to let you know that I have added your delightful blog to my list of blog follows. So very nice to meet you, Kristine!
Warmest autumn wishes,

Hi Kristine...
It's just lil' ol' me again. After adding your blog to my list of blog follows, I began visiting a few of your past posts. I seen a post that you did about Estes Park and just had to leave you another note. Was just wondering if you are from Colorado? I live in the northeastern corner of Colorado...near Sterling. We love going up to the mountains...camping up Poudre Canyon is one of our favorites! Of course, we love Estes as well!
Anyway, just wanted to let you know!
Warmest wishes,
Chari
Gorgeous! It really does look like a magazine! Even the lighting is perfect!
-Shelley
Gorgeous!!!! Can you tell me wher you got the big bottle/vase with the branches in it??? I LOVE it! Love all the natural light, the nutcracker and the fact that you have your Mother's riding hat! XO, Pinky
I think it is beautiful Kristine! LOVE it!!
Lou Cinda
