Thanksgiving is a time to gather and celebrate the harvest season. Earth tones reflect a different light than they did during Indian summer; a twilight will soon arrive with Winter Solstice. And there is an elegance now that shines upon Mother Nature's hard work, especially on our Thanksgiving tables.
Without a word spoken, Thanksgiving's elegance says, "Welcome Home."

Happy Autumn! Seasons for All at Home returns after a season-long hiatus, and we are so happy to be back! We are kicking off our favorite season by celebrating the lighter shades of orange -- the quintessential color for fall.
The color of orange sherbet is welcoming and yummy, and the perfect color to transition summer to autumn. Take a look at these beautiful vignettes to see if you agree!

As we begin to welcome fall, summer is not quite behind us yet. A perfect color to transition summer to autumn is orange. Deep shades of brick, medium tones of pumpkin spice, and pastel shades of melon all have a place in our homes from now through the end of November.
For those who like a lot of contrast, shades of orange pop against white.
And lighter shades of orange blend beautifully with deep brown woodtones.
Orange is a perfect accent color for creams and taupes.
Even the kitchen looks beautiful when dressed in this color.
Formal or casual, summer or fall, brick or melon, it all works this time of year. Enjoy!
