Pumpkins and Turkeys and Acorns at the Table!!!

I decided to set a kinda "pre Thanksgiving" table for us. I have these cute acorn dishes, and this runner with pumpkins and turkeys on it, so combined the 2 for a new table.

 I really like this runner as it is a soft color and just has light images of the turkeys and pumpkins. The cream lace edge is so pretty.

 I scattered acorns across the runner too.

 I am using a brown placemat, burlap charger, rusty colored dinner plate, creamy salad and the cute acorn plates! When we have soup, I can added my creamy soup bowls.

I gathered 2 napkins; a plaid and a brown embroidered with a turkey, in a leaf napkin ring.

 My little carts are filled with acorns too.

 The S and P are an acorn and a pumpkin.

 My centerpiece is this acorn shaped container, set on a pedestal and ringed with leaves and an acorn candle ring.

 The gravy boat features leaves and acorns.

 A stack of mini pumpkins on a wood slice for more texture.

 The brown bamboo flatware is a staple in the Fall.

 The sun shining on the turkey napkins:)

 I love how the ceiling fan blades reflected in the spoons looks like a flower:)

I'm Creating a Family Gallery Wall!!

Ever since we got our SWEET granddaughter, Colleen, I have wanted to create a gallery wall going downstairs. As most of you know, our daughter and SIL adopted her at 17 months. She has been such a HUGE BLESSING to us all!!!!! We all love her to the moon and back and have from day 1. She is such a sweet little girl and cracks us up all the time. They adopted her from the foster care system so we, as her grandparents, think we are ALL blessed that God led them to this precious child. Here is the wall so far. This first frame holds several pictures from when she first came into our lives.

 She has always been a happy child. She has had a lot of major changes in her short life and has adapted amazingly well!!!

 Here is the beautiful family, this past Christmas.

 Her Uncle Brian (our son) came up at Thanksgiving, from Florida, to meet her and it was love at first sight for both of them.

 This one was a few weeks ago. I was just snapping pictures while she ate lunch. I wonder what she was thinking:)

 Tata (Joe) and Colleen walking home from the community pool back in May. WAY before his surgery!! He could still walk!!!

 Her parents; our daughter, Tracy and her husband, Dave.

 I added some small mirrors to the wall recently.

 Taking pictures;):)

The Big Reveal, We Have Painted!

For the past week and a half we (and by we I mean Joe) have been painting. Finally!!! I am just not a white walls person, as hard as I tried to be for 2 1/2 years. I love color, the warm, rich, earthy colors. So we chose our colors and got to work. I DID help with moving every darn thing out of the rooms and you that know me, know that is ALOT of stuff! I also put it all back when we were done. But Joe was up and down on a ladder 1,000,000 times....and with a bad hip. God bless him!!!! So, here we go with the tour. Starting at the front door. The color is TAN even though it appears to have a greenish tint in some of the pictures....It is Valspar Faint Maple.

 There is another picture of this area further down that shows a truer color....

 This wall behind the mirror shows a truer color.... the hall is still white.....for awhile:):)

 2 of the walls in the living room are this. It is Valspar Toffee Glaze.  The other wall is the Faint Maple. It is HARD to get a good picture with the sun glare.

 I LOOOVE it!! We also can't believe  how it brought out the colors in the stone. Before the stone appeared very gray.

 We also did the breakfast room and I will share that in another post. The color does NOT make the rooms appear smaller at all. They feel so warm and homey now. We truly are HOME! You get a tiny glimpse of the breakfast room in this next picture, but I will share it all next.

I will be sharing this at these great parties:
