Fall Decor Ideas

33 Shades of Green had the idea of filling a candleholder with acorns or an apothecary jar with pears for a lovely pop of color. These are great accessories for mantels or table centerpieces.



Love the idea of putting dried indian corn and wheat in jars for display. Also if you're feeling particularly crafty you can hit up your own backyard for leaves to dry and frame!

If you have company coming this photo from HGTV serves as excellent dinnertime inspiration. I love the rustic earthy feel of this tablescape. The aged urns are topped with a little bit of moss and tiny pumpkins serve as beautiful centerpieces. The artichokes top off the otherwise neutral tablescape with a pop of color and texture.

Look at the impact a couple of colorful branches make in this entry from HGTV!

Color me happy!

I really don't know what to say about this room except that it is fantastic! Those vintage armchairs upholstered in the most glorious shades of velvet simply pop against the damask wallpaper.

My favorite print has finally made it to the tiling industry. Ikat is now available in mosaic tiles. How divine does that look!? Available at New Revenna Mosaics.

                                                          

Wow, what an impact that valance has on this kitchen!

These antique French Bergere chairs are such a lovely contrast of classic and modern.

Projects.

Free? Furniture? I'll take it! My dad recently moved into a smaller home and had loads of extra furniture. My husband Benji and I weren't going to pass up the opportunity to frugally furnish our own abode so we went to take a look at his storage unit. It was filled to the brim with goodies. One of which was this country little table made of knotty pine. It wasn't the prettiest thing I have ever laid eyes on, but I saw potential.

Unfortunately my over-eager self did not get a before picture of this dining set before I got to work on it. Trust me, it wasn't pretty with its out of date yellowy oak stain and knotty wood look. So I bought dark stain, polycrylic and all the finishing touches and got to work. It.was.an.attrocity. The gel stain dried waaaay to quickly and was sticky and splotchy the next day. I sanded it back down and gave it a coat of trusty old white paint. I spray painted it which probably wasn't the most cost effective method, but definitely the easiest. I gave it a final spray of clear coat for protection against scratches and wah-la!

I had an extra window lying around from a previous project and couldn't stand the clutter, but couldn't dare stand to throw it away either. I mean it is absolutely aged to perfection! What is a girl to do, but tape it up and make a chalk board out of it? It makes the perfect little dinner menu for above our table!



Now all I need is a centerpiece...

Room Love!
