Best local finds for fall
With Labor Day just around the corner, the end of summer is near. Soon enough, the muggy 90 degree weather will break and we’ll pull those sweaters, boots and scarves out of the closet. Another thing that comes with the season change — an opportunity to redecorate your living space. We’ve found some of the best items to feature in your home this fall, all from stores in Mt. Lebanon.
Hot Skwash Pumpkins
Artisans in Oregon hand cut these real pumpkins, sew on a silk and velvet fabric exterior and fill them with hazelnut shells. Each pumpkin is one of a kind, with different shapes, stems and colors.
Store: Barefoot Stitches & Gifts | Price: varies by size, starting at $18.50
Decorative Greenery Boxes
In the backroom of Mt. Lebanon Floral, workers handcraft these decorative boxes. Each one is unique with different dried flowers, grass, moss and other natural features — a way to add greenery to your space without the upkeep.
Store: Mt. Lebanon Floral | Price: $25
The Bungalo Gourd Birdhouse
Gourds are popular fall decor and this birdhouse repurposes the crop in an innovative way. From Meadowbrook Gourds, these natural birdhouses should last for years, but the exterior finish may dull over time.
Store: Rollier’s Hardware | Price: $24.99
Swedish Sponge Cloths
An eco-friendly way to add some autumn colors to your home, these reusable sponge cloths are a replacement for paper towels. With cute designs and an affordable price tag, they can also save you money over time, as you stop buying one-use paper products.
Store: Rollier’s Hardware | Price: $9.99
Fall-themed candles (that aren’t pumpkin spice or apple)
Anthropolgie is known for trending decor and their candle selection never disappoints. The Galleria location has plenty of options, including cocktail-themed and mushroom candles.
Store: Anthropologie | Price: $32 (tumblers) and $68 (mushroom)
Blue Camellia Medium Figural Pumpkins
With a different take on pumpkin decor, these imported Italian stoneware pumpkins are hand painted in rich blue glaze. Easily pairs with other Vietri collections in store.
