The month of September seems to have flown by and being busy with other obligations I have been a very lazy blogger. I realized the other day just how long it had been since I had put up a new post.
Now with the beginning of the lovely fall season, my favorite time of the year, I am excited to add some autumnal touches to the house and I wanted to share them with you.
In the past I haven't done any fall decorating in my living room - the colors just didn't seem to suit, but since redecorating the room I now have a new color palette to work with. Last year I did a small arrangement on the coffee table but this year I decided to do something more elaborate on the mantle.
I was trying for something soft in tone that would reflect the celadon green color in the chairs and drapes. I found the perfect ribbon at Michaels along with the amaranthus. I already had the pumpkins, gourds and seed pods.
This mantle and a large arrangement of eucalyptus, twigs, berries and other dried plant material on the petite credenza across the room is enough to add a pleasing touch of autumn for me to enjoy throughout the season...and next, well that would be Christmas!
Thank you for visiting I hope you are enjoying the change of seasons.

Your mantel looks amazing...so pretty. I don't do much for fall. But, I sure like seeing what every one else is doing.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteAdrienne, I always look forward to all your decorations and this one doesn't disappoint! The colors are so beautiful and perfect for your home. You do everything with such grace and class..Happy Fall..Judy
ReplyDeleteThis from the Queen of wonderful holiday decorating is really a treat. Thank you!
DeleteYour mantle is just so pretty. I love it. I love the soft colors. Just wondering how you hung your picture on your mirror. I have a large mirror over my mantle and would like to put something on it like you have done.
ReplyDeleteThe painting is held up by brass chains attached to brass picture rail hooks which fit over the railing around the ceiling. You can buy the hooks at The House of Antique Hardware. Hope this helps.
DeleteI noticed that when I changed to new google chrome, things have just gotten messed up. I need to go in and do the settings again. I still have my blog https://beth-wildwoodhome.blogspot.com/ and that is why I see that it doesn't show when my name is clicked on. One day I will leave well enough alone... geesh!!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful!! I love the pale green color, it really compliments the entire decoration. I often think a "touch" is just enough and puts the perfect accent in a home. I would have loved to see the arrangement with the dried plants as well.
ReplyDeleteYour home's colors are always so lovely and now the autumn colors look beautiful with your room. I enjoy seeing the softer colors of the season when they look as pretty as yours do.
ReplyDeleteI love love softer colors for autumn. Your mantel looks just stunning.
