Where To Get The Fall Decor As Seen On WWL-TV

Happy first day of Fall!

WWL-TV invited me back to do a couple of segments on Fall decor. I did one segment on simple DIY using what you have at home, and by shopping the super market.

The second segment was about changing your home decor for Fall much like you change your seasonal wardrobe by adding a few accessories.

Since WWL-TV is a local New Orleans station I focused on the type of Fall we have here. Autumn in the South is more like Indian Summer, so I called the segment "Indian Autumn". Softer spicy jewel tones, and lighter fabrics are the key elements.

Belladonna,  2900 Magazine Street, (504) 891-4393,  provided all the beautiful "Indian Autumn" things I showed in the segment. Belladonna is a fantastic emporium attached to one of the best day spas in New Orleans. They provide spa therapy, and most important, great retail therapy. Stop by (or call them to order) any of these gorgeous things to celebrate the Fall season.

I styled the accessories from Belladonna in my house, to show how just a few key pieces make you feel you've changed with the season.

Brown pillow with fern print is perfect for Fall - the handmade vintage throw from India with spicy muted print adds just the right amount of Fall color - Pillow and throw courtesy of Belladonna -The ghost pumpkin was a tip from the DIY segment

The Visual Vamp Fall Decor - I just added a ghost pumpkin and a gourd on the demi lune - I think you can see from the above photo of how adding the spicy textiles from Belladonna add to the look - And yes, I have rearranged the furniture again

Charlee ottoman and matching pillow by Jamie Young;  Empress bamboo lamp also by Jame Young; throw is made from vintage fabric -  Get them all at Belladonna - Two DIY elements added: white squash and small bottle decorated with a leaf

You can see what a huge impact a few accessories can make - this is the chair before the Belladonna makeover

Silk Ikat print pillow on left , and mustard linen embroidered pillow both by Tourmaline Home sold at Belladonna - the glass hurricane is something you might own - Just add nuts and nestle a pillar candle in- Everyone who saw this simple DIY Fall decor idea said they have pecan trees in their yard (the nuts are pecans), and were  thrilled to see another use for them

For a muted room, you might want do add something softer for Fall - this incredible bird pillow by Pulvermacher from Belladonna is a more quiet way to announce the Fall season -  I think it looks great on the camel back sofa with nail head trim

A collection of boxes covered in vintage Sari fabric bring Fall colors in an unexpected way - Sold as a set of three at Belladonna - Keep them all, or give a couple away as gifts - Mercury glass lamp also available at Belladonna - simple DIY project, glue a leaf to a container you probably have stashed in a cupboard, and add a candle for the warmth of Fall

Autumn invites candle light and making a fire in the fireplace - Don't have a fireplace? Use this clever Fire Pot outdoors - Shown in a taupe ruffle design this Fire Pot uses Bio Fuel (shown in the bottle) - get this fab Fire Pot at Belladonna

Even the bag Belladonna uses for pillows and linens is so cute!

DIY idea shown on WWL-TV - shop your grocery store for Fall decor - I put this incredible sculptural gourd on a demi lune table in my living room - I like to use a few simple things, and this is as simple as you can get!

Rearrange furniture when the seasons change - In doing so, I felt tired of over styled coffee tables, so I chose one simple handmade Italian bowl and placed three  books with white paper covers tied with natural  twine as my way of deconstructing the usual books on a coffee table look - Pillow is by Thomas Paul

If you'd like to watch the two segments, have a look HERE, and once again,

Thank you Belladonna! And thank you to the great crew and talent at WWL-TV.

WWL-TV Fall Decor with Valorie Hart - In the first segment I talked about simple fast DIY things to do - Shop your cupboards for glass containers - hot glue a leaf or two to them, add nuts to nestle candles in, use feathers instead of flowers, shop the produce section for pumpkins, gourds, squash, artichokes, and tomitillas to create tablescapes, or mantlescapes
