Fall Decor in the Family Room

This table is always fun to decorate for any occasion.  I kept it simple, and understated.  I removed the bird and flower pot that were in this metal cloche, added a fabric pumpkin, set it in a berry ring of rust colors, and tied on a rust colored raffia bow.


Simplicity.....

Just a touch of Autumn color.

The coffee table vignette is also simple.


Here a whitewashed tray holds faux plants, a white bowl of autumnal potpourri, and a green ceramic pumpkin on a metal pedestal.  The coffee table has inset tiles in greens, so keeping this vignette simple, and using only greens, browns and whites, gives it an understated elegance.

 



This lined willow basket was a $10.00 find at Wal Mart.  It is filled with 3 bushes of Fall florals, @ $3.00 each.  I like the textures against the smooth marble of the hearth.


In this view, you can see the feathers, cattails, pine cones, grasses, and colorful leaves of the florals.  These are very nice bushes, and I love the mixture of items.




That is it for the family room for now.  I'm sure it will get tweaked from time to time, but I really am keeping things simple this year.

Be sure to check back to see other decor throughout our home in the days to come.

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 ...

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. ...

Table for Two

 This is what the table in the sun room looked like yesterday.  I was organizing my napkins, runners, etc., and came across the red items, so I decided to make the table a totally valentine table and changed out the napkins and plates.  :)  I also placed a lovely cupids figurine under the dome I made from Habitat items. The windows in this room face the East and look out on to a view of gentle  rolling hills. The morning sun streams in and warms the room.  I have had this little cupids piece for a very long time.  I think I got it at Eckerd Drugs years ago.  It's not even Eckerd Drugs anymore.  It's now Rite Aid. I think they had cuter things a long time ago than they do now. The flowers in this bouquet are from Dollar Tree, as is the ribbon and garland.  I received roses from my husband in the vase a number of years ago.  The little red bird nest is an old Christmas decoration.  I've probably had it for 25 years or more....
