As much as I love trying to create soft and serene spaces in our home, somehow, the "old Becca" resurfaces each Fall, wanting pops of bold color! So, when it came time to tossing pumpkins around our sitting room, SOMEthing just wasn't working. It was then that a trip to my favorite "Fabric Showcase" solved the problem!
BEFORE ... our "Summer" sitting room was calm, with panels done in soft shades of grey, cream and taupe:
And, HERE it is today! COLOR!
When I spotted this pretty fabric, I thought it would be a fun addition (thanks to its beautiful deep orange background and various shades of brown, cream and duck egg blue) and tie in with the blue accent chest on the opposite wall:
Pieces which blended in with the other curtains now seem to have a bit more presence:
You may have noticed that I didn't stop there, as the bookcase got a little change for the new season, too.
BEFORE:
AFTER: I traded out the grey and white script fabric for this cool brown and white chevron fabric (thanks for pointing that one out, Beth):
I love how Fall goodies bounce against it:
Even cute, inexpensive pumpkin plates (from Home Goods) seem to play nicely with it!
I also brought in these large candlesticks from the dining room (and, oops, I forgot to light the wicks for good luck) ... just might have to splash some AS Old Ochre on them to tie in a bit better with the new colors in here!
Over on this wall ... I added large Fall branches to an otherwise muted arrangement. Annnd, to tie in with the curtains, I decided to add a tiny bit of the same fabric to a simple white pillow:
I suppose I shouldn't get tooo used to these colors, as I'm sure the oranges and browns will be traded for lots of red later next month! Oops ... thank goodness Fabric Showcase's prices are really reasonable!
So, tell me ... do you change your fabrics out to suit the seasons, too?
As always, thanks for stopping by!
And, come on over and party here:

Oh Becca, I LOVE the new look!! Great fabric, and the blue is just fabulous with the orange. Love it!!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty, Becca! The fabrics are all so pretty! You just know how to pull things together. I don't know where to begin; so, I'll just say I love it all!
ReplyDeleteThat is lovely fabric and it does give a lift to the rest of the room.
ReplyDeleteMerle........
I love it, orange is one of my favorite colors and this looks amazing. So cheerful. Hugs, Marty

The fabric is perfect and I love that you mixed it up with the chevron. I am bringing browns and darker golds into my rooms too. I need to do something about my dining room chair seats though...they need switched to something neutral so they don't clash! Love this room no matter what you do to it...
ReplyDeleteLooks great!! I don't normally change fabrics seasonally, but my goal is to at least do a bit more layering in the colder months. Your room is beautiful with both looks.
ReplyDeleteBe still my heart................ I love this room. It has me yearning for Fall, however we are still in high 90's hear in Memphis. Love the blue & orange together.
ReplyDeletethis looks so good, Becca. I love that new fabric and I can't believe you changed the bookcase back, too. busy busy
ReplyDeleteabsolutely gorgeous, blue and orange are such a great combo, and with the crisp whites it just is a knock out! That fabric is amazing! LOVE how you can change out the fabric in your wonderful cabinet!
ReplyDeleteOh, Becca, I love your new look! The drapery fabric makes everything in your room just pop! It all looks so beautiful. I cannot wait to see what you are going to do next!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, Becca! I love the warm colors and the modern touch the chevron lends to your room!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love your "summer" room and I was wondering how you would put the warm colours of autumn with the whites but you nailed it! Just the right shades of orange/brown/duck egg blue - perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love the changes. Great job!
ReplyDeletePerfection! This is so beautiful!!! I love all of the choices you made. The curtains are gorgeous and the blues and oranges just pop. LOVE! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteYou're home is beautiful on any given day -- but I really do like this transformation. Those curtain panels make such a difference in the look!!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Becca! Those little touches of color have really added Fall to this room. I love how the drapery panels made quite a difference. I just switch out pillows and bring out our throws for a change of color and warmth. That's the great thing about white or neutral slipcovers!
ReplyDeleteOh, Becca. It's just gorgeous. I love the new curtains. You sure you aren't coming to Richmond any time soon? Hint...hint! I do change out pillows and decor, but not curtains. I love everything you have done.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your new fall look and choice of accent color, fabrics and accessories! I, too, love the flexibility of neutral living areas so that I can switch out the accent colors and accessories to match the gorgeous changing seasons of our Maine landscape. LOVE the change and always something to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Becca...you managed to get a wonderful feel of Fall with touches you can use all year round such as those gorgeous drapes!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful room!! Everything looks wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI love the addition of this great fabric! It's a perfect choice for your Fall sitting room! It's so bright and welcoming! Love your Fall decor!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Debbie ... I'm so envious you live in Maine ... your Fall foliage is always gorgeous! Lucky lady!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Sally!
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch, Petra ... I'm really enjoy the bold pops of color!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Jerri! I think you should start decorating for Fall ... maybe that will chase the 90 degree weather away!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Terry! I bought the EAT letters from a friend; however, I've seen ones similar at AC Moore and Hobby Lobby!
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much, Debra! Thankfully, our bookcase isn't that big so it's easy and not expensive to change things out from time-to-time! :)

ReplyDeleteEverything looks perfect, as always. Love Fabric Showcase! However, I can't sew...I passed that pumpkin plate up at Home Goods, but you have seriously made me re-think it (except that I am embarrassed to go back b/c I'm in there almost EVERY day). Have a fun weekend. I so wish I were there this weekend.
ReplyDeleteEgad woman!!!! That is awesome!!! I love love love the oranges! You are AMAZING!!!

Becca, its gorgeous! I love the fabric you chose for your windows! The mix of the colors and the patterns between the curtains and the bookshelf looks awesome together. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the curtains! Great fabric. That's the great thing about having white furniture, it's so easy to change the look. Love it all!
ReplyDeleteI LoVe this room! I'm so excited to have found your blog!
ReplyDeleteI love how you changed your sitting room up for the Fall season. The color you added with the new draperies and other accessories is great. I don't usually change my fabrics for the seasons. I mostly change up some accessories or add some nature inspired elements. With your neutral background you can add just about anything easily!
ReplyDeleteSO pretty Becca! I am loving that animal print rug and the chevron hutch backdrop. I knew you would be up to your eyeballs in decorating! :)
ReplyDeleteSoooo beautiful. I LOVE the curtains and how the blue pulls out all the other blue in the room. You rocked this fall room in a sophisticated very classy way!!
ReplyDeleteXOXO
