Just lovely, and very pleasing to the eye! I love all of the light colors as well. So used to seeing darker colors for Fall-nice to see the lighter tones as well.

To me, this appears less French than shabby chic trying for a French vibe. Not loving this iteration of 'fall', nor am I a fan of some of the generic looking vessels. That said, there are a number of elements I can really appreciate in the mix.

Ha, ha, @Nonametoday ,  I have no doubt that you have that very desirable knack of transforming it into decor, and a home to delight in.  Your informed and design-savvy posts over time have demonstrated that!

You are just too kind.  I love all that you find for us even when you know half will love it and half will dislike it...you continue to post beautiful things for all sides of the equation.

The decor is just beautiful in all the photos.  I love the pumpkins on the mantle, the vases filled with different faux fall displays. It isn't overwhelming or too much, it is all perfect for the rooms and so appealing!

Her fireplace mantel, and the mottled vase with the autumn leaves on the kitchen counter, are attractive.  But not getting a cozy feeling of autumn at all.  Maybe because of all the bright light, white, and off-white surroundings - feels more like summer.  Maybe if she had some darker elements like tan drapes - as the photo below has - it would feel more autumn-cozy:

I definitely like those tan curtains, @QVCisFun .  And if they were in a rough, sort of burlap-y fabric, that would be entirely consistent with her sophisticated country French aesthetic, yet would be cozy.   But I also like her shutters. 

If you notice, in the 8th picture I posted, she did have curtains at that point, but of a more cream color.  I like those too.  She always seems to veer toward the lighter colors, low contrast, and softness.  I find myself liking both a cozier look, and an airier one that she represents....

I like the shutters, but they are more of the same stark light bright monotony as the rest of the room, no coziness.  Maybe if the shutters had the tan drapes (like the rough sort of burlap-y fabric ones you described, or the plain ones), layered over or beside the shutters it would add some coziness.

The cream color drapes in the 8th photo are okay, but for me it is the same issue as the shutters.  Would prefer something like tan/beige drapes.
