Fall in the Kitchen, 2017

Good morning! WE are finally having some Fall weather! It is COOL in the morning, very nice in the afternoon and then cool again as the sun sets. I am hoping we get to have one more dinner outside, we'll see:) So here is what I did in the kitchen this year. I am loving this vignette. I made the topiary several years ago when I was still working.

I love burning candles in the Fall, they make the house smell so good! The pumpkin candle holder came from Kirklands several years ago.

The ceramic pumpkin is one of my very favorites.

Since I placed the topiary on a stand I placed some picks at the base.

I put this little vignette together by the sink. I love having a lamp here and change them out for the seasons.

I have had the jack-o-lantern for a long time. Love his black hat.

I also made this pumpkin arrangement years ago. Love the urn it is in too. I find seasonal paper towels at the $ store and my local Giant grocery store.

A pottery crock is my utensil holder. The nightlight is also a wax warmer. From Walmart!

On top of the fridge is my copper pumpkin that was a gift from my son years ago.

The buffet area with 2 birdcages and a pumpkin plate and 2 matching pumpkins. They were bought separately, in different years even but match so well!

Excuse the "echo". Joe loves using it:)

This year I did my glass cabinets with pumpkin plates and Fall pitchers and pumpkins.

A pumpkin gravy boat.

My Fall wine glasses that came from Kirklands years ago. I bought 12 and am so glad I did as they never had them again.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Summer Refresh in the Guest Bedroom

I showed you the guest bath in my last post so today I will show you the guest bedroom, AKA, Colleen's room:) I have plans to totally change this room but it will be a little while, probably in the Fall. This shot is from the doorway.

The room is a good size for guests, (or little girls:) I just added a few shells around to give a summer feel.

The blue and white print pillows are new this year.

I can't seem to pass up blue and white pillows...I am looking to see if there is a 12 step program for this addiction of mine;)

I love these lamps and they will be a real good fit in the new look in this room.

These 2 shell pictures were found at Kirklands several years ago.

The little round mirrors are part of a set of 5. The other ones are on the gallery wall I made of Colleens pictures.

A few shells are on the dresser. The starfish is hiding the camera, that we use to watch Colleen when she is here.

I have 2 of these pottery wall pockets; one is here by the door and the other is

here between the windows. It is impossible to get a good picture, sorry!

I added some blue hydrangeas and vine branches to the demijohn.

Thanks so much for your visit. Please Pin anything you like! You can also follow me on Pinterest if you'd like!

Christmas Mantle and Hearth

Happy Wednesday everyone! This year we decided to retire the wreath with the deer that has hung on our fireplaces for too many years! So, we have a new look this year and I love it. I got the Santa picture at Kirklands several years ago and it hung in the hallway between our offices. I brought it out of hiding to feature here! Since the picture is of Santa, I am using some of my favorite Santas on the mantle too.

I also got a new garland this year, the old one was very tired too. This is fuller and has a mix of greens, pinecones, berries etc. I love it. I did add some magnolia leaves that I had.

I also embellished the garland with some pretty picks of gold leaves, berries, balls etc. 2 of my lit trees are featured too.

On the hearth I continued the Santa theme.

I added the gold lacy deer, some golden trees and some candles on silver pots.

This is a Joyce Ditz Santa on a bike and carrying some trees.

All of these Santas evoke memories for me. I remember where or when we bought them. I have been collecting Santas for many years.

This guy is a favorite: he is a faux Belsnickle Santa. I have 2 real ones that I treasure.

The 2 Santas on the mantle were made by a lady in Texas. This is one of 2 Polish Santas. She would research what a Father Christmas would have worn and replicate that. She sent us the literature with the Santa. This one and the other on the other side are carrying dolls that were made in Kracow, Poland!
