A Little Tweak Here and There

Having 'lived' with last week's fall decor for a few days now, I decided to make a few tweaks. I know you never do that!  :)  Remove a few things here, add something there..... You know the routine!


I decided the table in the family room had too much on it.  I placed a pumpkin under the cloche rather than the candle I started with.


Then I added a charger to the mantel to give it another layer.


Next, I placed the pheasant picture on one of the bookcases flanking the fireplace.


I re-arranged the tiered stand by placing the green pumpkin on it.  


I moved some things around on the bookcase in the dining room too. 


Brought this little fellow up from the basement and sat him in the sunroom.


See that big smile on his face!!

I hope all of you have a wonderful week!

    I love all of your fall decor. Anything underneath a cloche is always so wonderful looking. I like how you've added a touch of fall to several rooms.

    Since I don't do season except for Christmas I enjoy seeing your seasonal touches, Kathy. Love your table scape also.

    My pumpkins are white so that I can use them in our bay window ...

    Have a lovely week.

    Hi, Your tweaking paid off. Everything looks great. I especially like Mr. Scarecrow. He seems to be so happy to be inside your sunroom having a break from scaring crows. Thanks for visiting my blog. Now following you.

Thrifty Bookcase Makeover

About a year ago, I was working on a photo gallery area at the lake home. There is an area about 7x7 between the living room, and the hall bath. I bought a really inexpensive ($20.00) bookcase to use there to hold family photos. I hurriedly placed photos on it, and didn't think much about it.   The last time we were at the lake, I was sitting there looking at how badly it looked, wondering what I could do to spruce it up a little.  It had all colors/types of picture frames -red, pink floral, wood, brass, you name it!   I remembered seeing adhesive shelf liner at the Dollar General the day before.  So I made a quick trip back there, and bought one 9 ft. roll for less than $3.00.  I know this is not an original idea and has been done by lots of people, but I wanted to show you anyway.   First, I emptied out all the photos, pulled out the shelves, measured, and cut the paper to fit inside the bookcase.  I also took all the photos out of the frames and w...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...
