Living room gets a hint of fall. |
The picture below is the AFTER...just a few adjustments here and there. I did, however, break my cardinal rule of Fall decorating...by bringing out the pumpkins BEFORE October...it's usually fall leaves until the end of September..but, oh, well...
This centerpiece is a McCarty Cotton Row vase with assorted feathers and berries. I also added placemats...am having horrible computer issues and can't seem to load the whole dining room shot...ugh. |
Small sideboard got the look, too! Those lampshades are one of my best finds EVER! When lit, the black velvet leaves show through the front silk panels... $2.50 each at Ross. |
A recently purchased iron birdcage has many possibilities for the upcoming seasons. Right now it's a candle holder. |
The coffee bar which houses not only all my coffee supplies, but also part of my nesting hen collection only got a few berry sprays. |
Tiny pine needle baskets. |
Redware collection...love the colors. |
Below is my salt glaze pottery collection.
Buckrun Pottery houses Cream Brulee candle and is surrounded by little nutmeg McCarty birds. |
Computer issues drive me around the bend! My apologies!
Will try one more time...Buckrun pottery bowl and McCarty bunny on coffee table. |
Bittersweet vines and branches are such a reminder of fall. |
I LOVE this table that I got on an online yardsale. |
Pottery Barn basket (that I got on sale)..with fabric pumpkins that I made years ago. |
I wanted to show you what I have done...not to brag...not to say..."Look at what I did!" but to encourage you to enjoy the moment...to not worry if it's too early to decorate...to not listen to the "it's not time to decorate" naysayers. I love every season. I enjoy letting my home reflect that. Most of my decor has been
gathered over time or made by me. (For the first 25 years of marriage EVERYTHING was made by me.)

You have everything looking so comfy and cozy for fall. I see you like the Cottage magazines-they are not as good as they used to be, I don't think-even tho I still buy them. Love the McCarty.
