Autumn Home 2015-Part 2

Last week I showed the dining room all decked out  for the fall season. This week we will try to get a little farther....with lots of pictures!

In the kitchen I used an old milk bottle basket thing-a-ma-bob that usually sits on my front porch. I purchased mums, kale and cabbage...all little ones. for less than $10. I had some burlap in the basement that I cut strips from to wrap around each of the three containers then I squished them into the bottle carrier. I used some pine cones in the empty space and some fake floral stuff I had purchased from A.C.Moore (at 50 percent off). I pulled it apart and used it elsewhere in the house.

Not the greatest picture. Still learning how to photograph on granite countertops! 

I stuck (not a real glamorous term) two faux Chinese lantern branches into my yard sale pitcher. 

 I pulled things from around the house to dress the shelves. The picture was ripped out of a Martha Stewart magazine over 10 years ago. I placed it into an old frame and a used matting- who would know? (Unless they happen to read it here.) I still have not changed the chalkboard so I won't show that yet.

In the living room I hung the new wreath I picked up from Mary Ellen and Sandy's Marketplace. It is made of twine, jute and wool and a raffia, I think.

I wanted to keep things more neutral in this room so I kept it to whites and beiges, browns and creams. The blue entertainment piece and the hutch can handle oranges but I was really liking all the white I was seeing on everyone else's blogs!

Have to keep some beach in there somewhere!

Dried hydrangea from the garden.

My pumpkins here were from Michael's-60 percent off. Woo-hoo! I had the moss and picked up the burlap leaves from A.C.Moore at half off. The cake plate was either a yard sale find or I got it at one of the vintage markets a while back. I cut out some leaves from an old book and attached them with a straight pin.

A mini oil painting I picked up at a yard sale years ago for pennies.

I am finished not a moment too soon. The air has turned colder, the trees are turning and I am wanting my chunky sweaters! And, that is the home decorated for autumn fair! I am glad it is finally done...but.... that is not going to keep me from changing things around or adding more as I see things I would like to copy. I'll be sure to let you know when I do!
