Welcoming Fall!

Happy Hump Day! 

  I’ve seen so many amazing fall home tours around blog land and today I wanted to share the little touches of fall I’ve added at my place.  Fall is not really my big decorating season but I always feel compelled to pull out the pinecones and pumpkins and embrace the season in my home.

My Front Door…

Since the front door to our townhouse is black, I knew that fall colors would look great against it.

I made a  monogram leaf wreath to hang on the door.  This was a really easy project.  I placed a piece of burlap in an oval embroidery hoop and hot glued fall leaves to the frame.  Then I painted a wood letter gold and glued it on top of the fabric. The wreath hangs from a piece of burlap ribbon. I love that the shape is different from a traditional wreath.

To add a touch of fall at the base of the door I hand painted a fun pattern on a doormat I picked up at Ikea and then placed mums, fall flowers and a pumpkin flanking it.

I wasn’t thinking about it at the time but the doormat will work for Halloween too!

My Coffee Table…

When it comes to decorating my coffee table, I love layering the pieces I put on it.

As the focal point of the table I used a large wood basket I had and filled it with faux pumpkins, gourds and pinecones that I gathered when I lived in Seattle.  Washington State pinecones are the real deal, big and plump!

 To fill out the basket I added a silver champagne urn with fall flowers and a mercury glass candleholder.

My gold Scoppio starburst sits on a stack of my favorite books,

and I added a piece of tree slab with an antler magnifying glass on top.

The last fall accent in my home involved my barcart.  During the spring and summer I have a colorful tray and multi-colored glasses on the cart but for fall I decided to change it up a bit.

 Little changes added just the right amount of fall cheer!

I made the acorns using real acorn tops and felt ball bottoms I purchased last year at Tinsel Trading Company in New York.

The gold-rimmed glasses I found thrifting, $2.00 for all six.  The deer mugs are from Ikea and I just couldn’t pass them up.

The tray on the bottom shelf was a diy project that your can read all about here.

I’m enjoying the fall touches I’ve added to my home and have one more big project left, that I’ll be sharing that one with you next week.  Until then, enjoy the season!
