Fall Decor in the diningroom

 

Hello Fall(ish).

🍂

It happened. 

 I couldn't keep my itching hands from digging into the boxes of Fall decorations.

 

Do you know what's funny?

As much as I love decorating for the seasons,

When I first pull the stuff out I am a bit overwhelmed and I don't know where to start.

 

Since the Dining room is the easiest room to clean,

I started there.

 

 

While I was giving the room a good Fall cleaning,

washed curtains, dusted, cleaned ceiling webs, floor...

I also made a few "regular" changes. 

Remember the Christmas Tree Farm picture that I bought at Kirkland's a while back?

While I still love it,  I had a different idea for the wall above the buffet.

 

I took the picture down,  filled in some nail holes and touched up the wall before I hung this old screen .  

  The screen, I believe, was the original front door screen to this house.

 

 

Below the screen I hung the old hoe that my girlfriend had given me many years ago.

 

The bunting is from Kirlands.

Love love love that store!

 

 

And as if it was meant to be,

I found these cute brand new black and white checked pumpkins at the thrift store.

 

 

One thing about me,  as you already can tell..

As much as I like farmhouse style, 

 I hate white, on top of white, 0n top of white.

  I require color and lots of it!

 

Note:  Dog food dish is not part of the fall tablescape.

 

 

 

 

It's cute,  and not too much.

 

Yet.

 

 

 

but 

Halloween

is

coming!

 

Wishing you all a great new week.

 

Stanley is getting his staples out this afternoon

 and hopefully that will give me a little more freedom to come and go.  

 I've been cooped up with him all week and I can't wait to head out to check out the new fall/halloween retail.
