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.

    Look at all of this beautiful Fall decor! Love your mantel (I have the same leaf chargers) ... and your pumpkin in the cloche and on the tiered stand are so cute! And, thank you so much for stopping by my Fall sitting room and leaving such a sweet note!

Linens & Things

I love finding tablecloths, runners, napkins, and other linens when I am out thrifting. Whether it be at consignment shops, GW, or yard sales, I will usually snap up a pretty linen if it doesn't have a lot of stains.  I will show you some of my favorites. I found several pieces embroideried with this design at a favorite consignment shop. This blue runner (reversible to stripes), found on consignment. This is one of the nicer quality tablecloths I have found, $4.00 at a thrift store. This cloth was around $10.00 on consignment. This runner is also reversible to polka dots, and was a consignment find. This pink and white gingham is perfect in the sun room, and is a consignment find also. This is the most valuable table cloth I have found, and it was $2.00 at a nearby yard sale.  It is a vintage Wielunder.  They sell on ebay for 30 - 90 dollars.  Mine is in pristine condition! Christmas tablecloth, consignment sale. ...

What's in the Hutch?

Yesterday I awoke in the mood to do some "deep" cleaning.  First on my list was to dust inside the china cabinet in the dining room.  Can you believe how much dust can get into a closed cabinet.  Really, how does that happen?  My cabinet has glass shelves and they were hazy with dust.  This is a rather tedious job because I not only have china inside, I have all kinds of little "pretties" stored there too.  It's one of the first things you see upon entry into our home, so I really should do this more often.  I want show you the before, sufficeth to say, it had been a while since I had tackled this chore.  Here are some photos showing the "after". Here is a collection of vases and crystal pitchers .   These were all gifts except the smallest one in the front and the one to the right of it. China and a consignment shop cake plate.  The china was formerly my MILs. More china . This little fairy lives here with her 2 sisters. They ...

Decorating Slump

I have absolutely had the hardest time deciding on how to decorate the dining room table for Thanksgiving.  I am not satisfied with anything I've done.  I'll show you the latest in a long string of 'tries'. Anyway, this is the latest try.  I bought six of these chargers at Dollar Tree, at $1 each.   I layered with this dinner plate and salad plate purchased from Wal Mart several years ago. I stopped there.  No decision yet on silver, glassware, or placemats/napkins.    I have the drop cloth/burlap runner I made last week on the table. I brought out this lovely cake stand bought at Good Will for $4.99.  It is centered on the runner.  I like the contrast between the leaded glass and the runner.  I placed the arrangement I made a few weeks ago on top of the cake stand. I added the two white candle sticks with white candles, leaf garlands, 2 small ceramic pumpkins around the cake pedestal, and stopped. I have to decide on ...
