The Autumn Dinning Room

 

Good Morning!

Hope you had a great weekend!  I was able to finish up my autumn decorating inside the house which I'm excited to show off.

 

The past couple of years I've tried to be "spooky" but I was never very happy with the results.  This year I tried a different approach.  The focus was more on natural elements like pumpkins, leaves, grapevine  . . . texture . . . and a personal favorite silver.  The results seem more "me" than trying to force myself to be "spooky" plus I think it will work well far into November for Thanksgiving.

 

The Dinning Room is the first room I tackled.  A few simple changes and it was done.

 

I kept the centerpiece platform from my summer decorating since I'm still loving how it looks plus it makes it very easy to quickly move out of the way for homework or projects.

 

I added a silver candelabra to the middle, (I love candlelight this time of year) . . . 

 

Then surrounded it with small pumpkins.  A few silk leaves tucked in here and there finished off the arrangement.

 

I'm really enjoying the simplicity and beauty of it. 

Even the kids remarked that it looks good - - must mean it's a keeper!

 

The desk to the side of the dinning table also received a quick makeover.

 

  I switched out the runner with a red striped dish towel to add a touch color. . .  

I replaced the greenery of summer with leaf branches. 

 

 

There is simply nothing more easy to do then plopping a bunch of branches into an urn.  A simple fluffing is all they need to make them look amazing.

 

The vintage box still holds white ironstone from this summer but I added some tall candles from the dollar store.  Now at night my ironstone glows and looks so pretty.

 

 

All the quick changes finally forced my mind to accept that Autumn has truly arrived where as before I was still hanging on to summer.

 

 

Talk to you soon,
