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!

Blogging Again From My Mountain Cottage, Shadymont

After a much needed rest, I'm back with a new blog name and a few slight changes, like the template, and the content will vary and not always be home decor, though that is my niche, and I will continue to have it frequently.  But I want to use my blog to also give those who may read it a little encouragement into the Goodness of God. Some of the fog from my depression is lifting now and I'm starting to feel better.  I've had a really hard time, personally, for the last seven months, and the divorce still isn't final.  I think it is nearing being final now though, and I hope I will continue to get clarity from this fog. I have a story to tell regarding other matters, but I still am not able to talk  about it quite yet.  But when I say I've been through the fire, or maybe the pits of hell, just believe me.  I now understand the meaning of Never say "Never"!  Things can happen to us when we are vulernable that we think would never  happen.  ...

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. ...

Bar Stools Makeover

I'm still receiving therapy by keeping my hands busy, plus today I ran quite a few errands.  It's been a crying day for me today.  Just so much to worry about.  It seems like sometimes everything is just messed up, and there's nothing we can do to fix any of it.   Night before last, I painted the bar stools.  I've had them since 2000, and they were nice, but I was just in the mood to paint them!!  The form of the stools had a textured bronze color, the seats were beige with the fleur de lis design, and the wood across the back was brown.  Well, needless to say, they got their own coat of chalk paint in white, the seats covered in blue and white, and the boards across the back are blue.  I have the fabric to make matching placemats and napkins, but today was not the day to try to sew, for me.  I'm just too nervous.  In fact, I didn't do anything creative today except switch out the curtains in the powder room that I only made and p...
