I know this looks like a blog.

I get it.

But truth?

It’s a community.

A community of amazing, incredible, awesome, creative members.

Just like you.

And the best part?

There are membership benefits, too. Like the “unlimited question” plan.

Yep.

It’s in the fine print.

As an official reader of this blog and this community, you have access to the “unlimited question” feature.

Like how to decorate a fall entry.

You have questions?

I have answers.

A cozy, autumn-themed entryway features a wooden staircase decorated with orange leaves, a bench with “XOXO” pillows, a small pumpkin, and a wreath. A wooden door and chest add warmth to the neutral, inviting space.

A decorative autumn wreath with orange, yellow, and beige dried flowers and leaves hangs on a white paneled wall near a staircase.

You see, on the “unlimited question” plan—questions are limitless.

As in, without limit.

Never-ending.

Numberless.

Immeasurable.

For example, if you happen to be reading this post about the fall decorating in the entry and you wanted to know what is that random vintage find on the wall.

You just ask me here.

And I write back an e-mail with tons of exclamation points that explains what it is here.

Or you want to know more about this fall wreath?

No worries. This wreath came from our online shop and you can see it here.

A decorative autumn garland with colorful leaves, flowers, and small pumpkins is wrapped around a wooden banister. A mirror reflecting more fall decor is visible in the background.

A cozy, decorated staircase with autumn-themed garlands, pumpkins, a wreath, and a “XOXO” pillow on a bench beneath the stairs. A chandelier hangs above, and warm sunlight brightens the neutral-toned space.

Or, if you want to know how I decorated my staircase?

And I’ll be all like—it was SO EASY.

And I kind of invented a new idea for a newel post.

I started by adding this garland to the stair rail.

Then? I took a garland like this and just draped it over the end of the staircase right by the newel post.

A bright entryway decorated for fall with autumn leaves, pumpkins, and dried flowers on the staircase and a bench. Large windows let in sunlight, and a chandelier hangs above the stairs.

Or if you wanted to ask me a question about how to create a simple fall display on a staircase?

You simply click here.

And I’ll be so happy that you contacted me.

And tell you that the key to a fall display is adding fall herb wreaths like these to the mirrors or stacking pumpkins on the edges of the stairs.

That’s it.

Simple fall is best.

And if you emailed me back and told me you already had wreaths and mirrors like these?

I’d shout for joy because you were on your way to the cutest fall decor display.

Pumpkins of various sizes line a carpeted staircase with a white railing. A floral arrangement with colorful autumn leaves and flowers sits in the foreground, creating a festive fall atmosphere.

A rectangular vintage mirror with a dark wooden frame hangs on a wall. A wreath made of dried, pale leaves is attached to the mirror, reflecting part of a picture frame in the background.

Or if you want a fall idea that takes about five minutes?

You simply click here and I’d send you this fun idea for fall.

Or I will be all like—go get a command hook and a wreath like this.

And add them to the front of a mirror.

Like this.

A small orange pumpkin sits atop a stack of three books tied with twine and ribbon; the book spines read "you’ve got this." In the background, a textured pillow with "XO" is visible.

Whatever the question, I’ll try to have an answer. Just for you.

A promise is a promise, after all.

Now, there is one little thing I forgot to mention.

The fine print also states that all questions regarding how I make pancakes are off the table.

It’s a secret family recipe.

Enough said. 🙂

    Now, now, now, KariAnne. Secret family recipe? Anyone who has read your blog for a New York minute knows there is nothing secret ‘bout you! I think you would be hard pressed to hold the line if someone dared ask you to give that recipe up! 😂🤣

    Suggestion from 80 year old. Pumpkins on stairs look great but as we age, need full access to hand rail. Maybe pumpkins on other side? It all looks lovely though.
