Fall in the Living Room!

I can not tell you how much I LOVE this room, but especially in the Fall! It almost seems to glow! Early morning the sun streams in the windows and lights it up. It makes me smile every single morning when I walk out here. I hope you enjoy how I have decorated the room for Fall. We'll start at the coffee table.

I usually have this basket on the table and just change out the accessories. I filled my blue and white pedestal container with miniature mums and a pumpkin.

I already had the antlers, spheres, and turtle shell here. I love the texture they provide.

Feathers are another Fall component, along with gourds and pumpkins.

The iron candle stick is a favorite. I have it in 2 sizes, the other one is here in my office.

The pumpkin pillow was a new find last year at PB.

I love the mix of orange and blue and white. The RL pillows are a staple on the sofa for almost every season.

There is a story behind this little bear. Joe's cousin brought it for Colleen and for some reason I left it on the sofa. Well, he passed away a couple of months ago so now I can't bring myself to move it. Colleen loves it when she comes here.

I just added 2 faux pumpkins to my ferns.

They sit on one of the elephants from Vietnam.

The view from between the kitchen and breakfast room.

A garland on the table and a pumpkin perched on a vase.

I love to sit here and read or browse through a magazine.

My chair is sporting the sunflower pillow.

Beside it are 2 sparkly pumpkins on the tiered stand.

The candle here is an LED one!

See what I mean about it almost glows? It is a very comfy room. I really love the colors of Fall!

Thanks for your visit. Our temps have dropped, it never got over 68 today and it is to be in the low 70's all week. We got to the beach for the girls week just in time!!!

~A New Arrangement!!!~

The other day was a cold, RAINY windy day so I worked in the basement storage area. I cleaned it up, went through some boxes that had just been put onto the new shelves and I found THIS beautiful cachepot, that I had forgotten about. So, of course I had to see what I could come up with for an arrangement for it. I wanted to add a touch of Spring to the great room coffee table so I pulled out my stash of flowers and got to work. I am sorry I didn't think to take pictures of the process:( Bad blogger!!! But here is the finished product. As I said, this cost me NOTHING since I had all these supplies at hand!!!!! Love that!!!!

I wanted it to make a statement so made it tall and lush. I also wanted it to be kinda monocramatic so used whites, creams and soft greens. Love these lillies. The bells of Ireland are appropriate for St. Patty's, coming soon too.
