I love the contrast of the orange pumpkins with the blue and white! Many of the pieces were thrift store finds or are very old treasures from my first days of decorating my own home.
I added a few little snippets of faux bittersweet...a Pier 1 bargain garland that I don't mind cutting up since it only cost $3.50 (instead of the $35 it had been priced)! It was also used in the Pottery Barn inspired fall wreath on my front door.
Love the crazing on this pillar candle stick!
This nicely-shaped bowl is an old favorite of mine!
Can you tell that I love blue and white? You can see peeks of my collection in other rooms reflected in the mirror!
Another piece of the garland went into making this wreath...
...wrapped around a grapevine wreath that had become a favorite of Miss Kitty's. Don't worry...I found another one in my stash and put it on the bed for her!
Can you see into my dining room? A little peek at what is to come...more blue, white and orange!
I debated about changing the white grape patterned plates on the mantelpiece for blue and white, but decided that would be too much! What do you think?
And there it is! I still have a lot to do to get ready for the All Things Home Fall Tour! Don't forget to mark your calendars to come by on Wednesday, September 25th for a virtual peek into my house all decorated for fall!
The tour will start on Monday, September 23 and go through Friday, September 27th with five homes to see each day. You will find a complete schedule here or on my sidebar. We are all spiffing up our homes and getting ready, so be sure to visit each day!
