Fall Is In The Air
Hello there! Today’s post is late because I’ve been a busy bee all morning.
I hope everyone had a great weekend. We had beautiful weather over the weekend, here in Atlanta and I was excited because that meant I was able to get lots of painting done and several projects completed and checked off the to-do list. I also started adding a few fall touches in my home and the first was a quick console table vignette.
This vignette was really quick and simple to put together. I pulled my large chalkboard out of the garage and propped it on a console table I have in the living room. I choose not to write anything on the chalkboard and instead hung a fall wreath in the center using some wide green satin ribbon.
On the top shelf of the table I scattered a few pumpkins at the base of the chalkboard and placed the concrete bust I bought over the summer on a stack of books. I place some feathers in the bust head for height and added texture.
The wood book display to the left is a project I completed over the weekend and I’ll have the full tutorial for you on Thursday. It so was easy to make.
It’s amazing how little changes to your decor can make the season come alive. Next up my fall dining table centerpiece which I’ll show you later this week.
Do something magical this week!
Scenes from the Weekend
Happy October!
I can’t believe that October is here and that the holiday season is just around the corner. Boy has this year flown by.
I hope everyone had a great weekend…found time to play, work or do whatever your heart desired.
The first part of my weekend was filled with both work and play and on Sunday, I was a couch potato for the most part.
I spent all day Friday setting up for the fundraising event for the non-profit organization I work with. It was hectic but we worked hard and pulled together most of the pieces.
Saturday morning at 8:00 am we were back at it, pulling together lots of little details, getting the restaurant and wine sponsors in place and doing lots of behind the scenes works. I finally ducked out at 5:30 pm to run home, shower and dress to be back for the event which started at 7:00! Whew, what a day it was! The event was great and we raised lots of money for CAC!
In between all of that, I managed to begin pulling together my Fall tablescape. Here’s a little peek. I’ll be back later in the week with more photos.
I managed to swing by the grocery store and picked up some fresh flowers, in fall colors of course.
Sunday I spent lots of time napping and lounging on the sofa.
And, I lit one of my favorite fall candles which was the perfect way to end the weekend.
The week ahead is a bit more low-key for me. I’ve got lots of packages to mail from my Etsy shop, a design project to work on and I plan to attend some design events at ADAC.
After last week, I’m definitely looking forward to a little slower pace this week!
