Better late than never.
I finally took a few minutes yesterday
to add a little Autumn to my living room.
This room is still in a state of, shall we say, undecidedness?
(Not sure that’s a word.)
Yet to do:
Make window panels.
Cover stools under sofa table.
Hang something over sofa.
Waiting on:
Slipcovers. (Check out my new sponsor.)
Slipper chairs from Target.
(Have you seen Sabrina Soto’s new show on HGTV?
The High Low Project. She shops at Target on every episode.)
So since I really have no idea when
any of this will get accomplished,
I decided to just go for it and get some stuff out.
The sofa table in it’s new spot.
I am really struggling with the white walls.
I thought I would love them but they are a challenge.
I’ll get it though.
Gourds, moss balls and mini pumpkins.
This is the closest thing I can find around here to a white pumpkin.
Still looking.
I got 2 bags of gourds at Kroger.
I know I paid more than I should
but there’s something to be said for convenience.
End table.
Check out my new lamp. I have 2 of these beauties.
Under $100.00 at Macys.com.
Leaf plate from TJMaxx.
Little pumpkins from a local store call The Homestead.
Other end table.
White pumpkin is not real…but the berries and silver tray help it out a bit.
Have a great week everyone…
I’m still working on filling up my Etsy Shop.
I’ve recently found a new source for vintage fabric.
Gotta get to work.

The lamps are stunning!
I have white walls in my living room, but little of it shows at this point after 40 years! lol

Tuesday, September 27, 2011 at 2:35 amI love your new lamps and all your fall touches. I love your gourds in the wire basket. I threw some decorative gourds in the compost bin 2 years ago. The next spring the seeds sprouted. I transferred the plants into the garden, and I had a lot of gourds that I used in decorating last fall. Only had a few this year.

Monday, September 26, 2011 at 6:17 pmHi Anne, I love the new lamps. And you have added some beautiful fall touches. I'm currently struggling with white walls also in the living room. I want to go off white but hesitant. It does make for a beautiful backdrop for lots of color and seems to be the thing to do now!
Marianne :)

Monday, September 26, 2011 at 1:02 pmLovely, you're inspiring me to do a bit of a primp around here too.
Tammy @BeatriceBanks says
Monday, September 26, 2011 at 12:57 pmLooking like fall! I'm so far behind, haven't even pulled out any fall decor yet. Is that a chevron pillow I spy? Love, love! So you've ordered slipcovers? Can't wait to see how those turn out. I've contemplated it myself.

Monday, September 26, 2011 at 3:29 amHello my friend,
Your fall decor is lovely! I love the gourds in the bowl, the white ceramic pumpkin is so pretty, I am really wanting a couple of those. I may end up getting a couple yet.
Your living room is beautiful.
Hugs, Cindy

Monday, September 26, 2011 at 1:22 amI really love those lamps. They're substantial without being overwhelming. Very pretty.
Kelly says
Monday, September 26, 2011 at 12:57 amEverything is looking good! I've read that if you want a white pumpkin and can't find one or have others in colors you don't want, you can paint them white! I think that's a good idea. Sometimes they're hard to find.

Sunday, September 25, 2011 at 9:54 pmI do love your new lamps Anne! I always shop at Macy's, just bought a new comforter there but I'm taking it back just isn't what I want but the price was great!
I like the faux pumpkins much better than the real they always rot on me! Your real and faux ones look just lovely!
Pamela Gordon says
Sunday, September 25, 2011 at 9:47 pmIt all looks very nice. I like the black basket of gourds on the hall table. Have a great week!

Sunday, September 25, 2011 at 3:48 pmI have not even started yet..too busy with a minor kitchen remodel.
love the white pumpkin in the silver tray..gives me some ideas!
Cozy Little House says
Sunday, September 25, 2011 at 3:41 pmOh, I'm so gonna miss decorating for fall! One of my favorite seasons too. But alas, I am packing. I think you've done a fantastic job. You will learn to embrace the white walls I think. A perfect canvas. In fact I have my daughter over at the little blue house painting the kitchen white.

Sunday, September 25, 2011 at 3:23 pmI love your fall touches. The pumpkins with the Halloween writing are so cute. I agree the fall gourds are worth it. They just add such a nice fall touch.
