Morning Coffee on the Porch

While I still can, I’m enjoying morning coffee on the porch next to our tabletop fire pit that I found this past summer at a local market.

Say Cheese! How to Assemble a Small Charcuterie Board

There’s nothing like A Fall Visit to The Vermont Country Store and all the independent farms to immerse oneself in Vermont’s famous cheeses and maple syrups.

Check out some of my favorites, like this Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup paired with Cabot Cheese’s Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese in this post HERE.

So Yummy!

24 Best Outrageous Scarecrows, It’s Fall in Vermont

To kick off the fall foliage decorating season in Vermont, a trip to the local nursery always inspires.

Once I have picked out a color palette for the fall season’s decorating, I set out to relish in and shop all the scarecrows, fall flowers, pumpkins, gourds, cider donuts, sunflowers, and more.

Next, it’s time to get our porch and outdoors dressed for Vermont’s autumn foliage season.

Set the Table with Vintage Autumn Warmth

Inspired by a colorful fall bouquet our neighbor’s flower garden gifted us, I set the first outdoor table setting of the season.

Vintage Fall Centerpiece in 5 Easy Steps

We are all about getting outdoors in the fall.

The cool, crisp air, hikes in the mountains, fall markets, and a little foraging along the way.

All contributing to simple and angelic fall decor that surrounds and warms us.

Like this Vintage Fall Centerpiece created with collected leaves, winterberry, apples, and corn.

Vintage Market Days Fall 2022 Vermont

Vermont Vintage Market Days, held every year over Columbus Day | Indigenous weekend, is also a great place to visit. I found this fantastic vintage cobbler rack and restored it quickly and easily using Restor-A-Finish and Feed-N-Wax.

Vintage Market Days Vermont, is where I will traditionally hunt for items to decorate our living room’s built-in shelves for the upcoming winter months. You may see last year’s Fireplace Built-ins: Vintage Neutral Design here.

However, this year, I’m taking a bit of a hiatus from this tradition as we get ready to paint the entire interior of the home, including the built-in shelving. We will also be wallpapering the bedrooms, transforming them into an old Vermont Inn classic style. See it today in the post Sherwin Williams Stardew: A Home Interior Makeover and 3 Wallpaper Bedroom Designs Emblematic of a Cozy Vermont Inn.

Fall Foliage Fire Pit

Fall wouldn’t be complete without an outdoor fire pit to enjoy with friends and family as we look over the mountains onto Vermont’s fall foliage display.

Over the past two years, we designed and installed this Backyard Living: From Design to Reality. And I can’t express enough how much it was the best thing we ever did:)

We enjoy it so very much.

Fall Foliage Views from the Hot Tub

One of the greatest pleasures is to enjoy an outdoor hot tub at home when the air is cool and before the snow starts to fly.

I love the hot tub in the winter, but getting in and out of it can be brisk in single-digit temperatures, along with the snow and ice…

Fall Hydrangeas

When autumn arrives, the limelight hydrangea bushes surrounding our garage turn into the prettiest pink shades.

Making for beautiful fall bouquets. See more in this Summer into Fall: Limelight Hydrangeas, An Old Crate & Fresh Blooms post.

We cut these limelights down to below the windows this past spring. And they must have tripled in size over the summer.

Just amazing!

Vermont Fall Foliage Maple Tree

We have been blessed with this spectacular Vermont Maple Tree that camouflages and shades our porch all summer.

And when she’s good and ready, she will be put on the foxiest orange dress you have ever seen.

As I write this post, we are in the peak fall foliage season in Vermont. But as you can see in the above photograph, the Maple Tree has barely started to turn colors. I am told it is because the tree is super healthy.

This photo is from 2 years ago. Last year, she lost her leaves to a Nor’easter. I will update this photo when she is in full color this year.

  1. Ann,
    I am amazed at the vivid colors this time of year! Here in Louisiana our colors have begun to fade with the August heat. My husband and I went to visit my daughter and grandchildren yesterday and it reminded me that I need to get my camera out and start using it. Thank you for the inspiration of your post!

    1. Hi Teri, this was all taken last fall, but we are starting to see the changes with the cooler evenings. Our peak season is in early October. Wishing you a wonderful autumn in Louisiana. Best to you.

  2. There is so much to love about Vermont in the fall! I used to love to make a trip to the Vermont Country Store when we visited my parents. Thanks for sharing all this beauty with us, Ann!

    1. Isn’t it such a fun store and yes there’s nothing like Vermont in the fall Molly, accept maybe Maine:)

  3. What a beautiful place! I would sit at the fire pit and watch the leaves change! Your tree is amazing!!

    1. Thank you Joyce, we try and sit in the space as often as we can! Happy Fall.
