Tweakin and Fallin!

Good Evening Bloggers! This is a day of remembrance for all those that lost their life in the 911 tragedy. I am sorry I did not have an appropriate picture to post.
I was at work when this tragedy happen. Along with the others I was crying as I watched the planes go into the World Trade Center. I keep all of the families in my prayers.
I wanted to share the tweaking I did this weekend to some areas in our home. I added more fall decorations!
I love to decorate, even though I am not the best at doing it. But it sure is fun for me to try! Hope you enjoy and leave me feedback on any changes you would make.



Dining Room Table

I changed the runner on the dining room table to a fall runner. It has pumpkin like things around the edges. The center piece is an old bucket I had on hand. I painted it using Folk Art Acrylic Paint in the Linen color. I tied raffia around the top and added the fall silverware pouch I found at Kirklands some time ago. I added the hydrangeas and the other huge flowers.
The creamy pumpkins were part of last years collection. I found the rooster votive holder at the Largest Yard sale for a dollar! I added the little sage green votive







Entertainment Center

I used Celestina's hand painted pumpkin as the center focal point. I placed it on a black candle stand to give it some height!
I added a squash and a pumpkin and two tiny birds on the right side. I found the two little birds at the largest yard sale. They were a quarter for birth birds. The squash and the pumpkin I had from last years decorations.
On the left side,I added a large leaf plate I found at a yard sale. You will recognize the other two leaf plates at Family Dollar finds!
The two large candlesticks in the back I already had on there. The candles I bought at Target.

Kitchen Table!!

I tweaked the kitchen table to have it decorated for fall! The pumpkin salt and pepper shakers, I found at the Dollar Store last year. The table runner I made, it has chickens embroidered with the fall colors! The place mats I shared before,were found at a yard sale.






Fireplace Mantle!

I changed the fireplace mantle out to add fall decorations. The leaf plate is a Home Goods find. The apple plate I found this week end at the Largest Yardsale. You recognize the little votive vases and the pumpkins from Family Dollar!
You will notice in the bottom photo in the corner a mess in the sun room. That is the rest of my yard sale finds from this weekend.

Master BEDROOM DRESSER

I did a redo on our master bedroom dresser! The bottles sitting on the silver like tray I found this week at the Largest Yardsale! When I saw them I had to have them because they match the colors in our bedroom perfect!

I love this time of year. The colors may clash with my home but not with my heart. I always feel so alive in the autumn. Hugs. Tammy

  4. Hi Susan,
    Fall has come to your home and it all looks beautiful. I can see your cottage pumpkin has a good home and in good company with your pretties. You have been busy and done a wonderful job. You have a good eye for pulling treasures together.
    Thank you for sharing. I worked on mine over the weekend and will take pics soon.

    Have a great evening.
    Hugs, Celestina Marie

  5. Looks like you are all ready for fall! I'm just now getting started decorating and crafting. My favorite part of your house is the kitchen table with all the bright autunm colors. Although the orange and reds don't really match my house, I always use them because to me, it wouldn't be fall without them. Thanks for visitng my blog, and have a great week!
