Fall In The Living Room: Navy & Brown

September 15, 2015 By Linda 52 Comments

Fall decorating ideas in navy and brown. 

Fall Decorating Ideas Using Navy & White

 

It took a long time this year for me to fully embrace summer. It was well into July before I shared my pasty white legs with the world, and that’s only because I was forced to. You just can’t wear long pants in Florida in July.

 

Trust me, I tried. And it wasn’t pretty. Pasty white legs trumped dripping in sweat.

 

Luckily I was in Florida. On vacation. And within days turned my pasty white self into bronzed and beautiful.

 

Okay, maybe pink and tender at first. Which eventually turned bronze and beautiful.

πŸ˜‰

But now that morning temperatures are dipping lower and lower each day as we approach fall, I’m clinging to my shorts. Even as I shopped and decorated the living room for fall …

I sported  shorts and flips flops with a sweatshirt.

 

I mean, I owed the world a look at my Florida bronzed legs, after all. πŸ˜‰

I kept my fall decorating simple and clean. Mostly because I’m vignette challenged. πŸ˜‰

Brown and Navy Envelope Pillows for Fall Decor

But I am sewing proficient(ish) and made some envelope pillow covers in brown and navy and blue and white ticking. I coupled those pillows with layered throws (you know, to keep my bronzed short-clad legs warm on those cool fall mornings).

My daughter has staked her claim in that comfy corner of the couch and can frequently be found perched there with a cup of tea in hand and a laptop atop her lap.

Fall Decorating Ideas: Update Artwork with Wreaths and Ribbons

I’m just waiting for one of those twine wreaths to fall on her head. They’re only attached with some Command strips and Scotch tape. Tee hee.

 

Why yes, I am up for a mother of the year award! πŸ˜‰

Fall Decorating Ideas: Hydrangeas and Pumpkins in Mason Jar Vase

Driftwood Sunburst Mirror

The simple (vignette-challenged) theme continues on the fantel mantel radiator cover. A new driftwood sunburst mirror (that, upon closer inspection, could use a shot of Windex …ah well.) is anchored by mason jars, hydrangea and faux pumpkins and acorns I found at Michaels.

Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my navy and brown fall decor in the living room. And while I didn’t share a picture of my fabulous bronzed short-clad legs, I can share some links to even more fabulous fall decorating inspiration. I’m proud to be part of a week-long fall decor home tour organized by Brenda at Cozy Little House (thanks Brenda for including me!).

    Beautiful blue and white walls! Your home looks very inviting with just the right amount of decor. As I looked at photos of my bedroom this week, I think the room looks too cluttered. Your living room instead has just the right amount of layers for a cozy look. I, too, want a navy wall someplace in my house…. the utility room maybe?

    Great vignettes! I pinned the very first photo onto my Fall Pinterest board.

    If you’re vignette challenged, then I hate to say what I am (it wouldn’t be PC but I think you can guess).

    Love your wainscoting, and the combination of colors and patterns work so well together!

    I’m so glad Brenda is bringing so many of us together! This is fun πŸ™‚

    I always see navy blue and white combination like a sailor theme. But what you did here – the brown- blue- white mix, is absolutely awesome and unique.
