Fall and Pumpkin 2014 Decor

     

Pumpkins, Pinecones, Sunflowers, and Cat Tails my favorite for Fall!

Fall is in the air, leaves are changing and decorating for fall

is fun.  You can still use most everything for Halloween and Thanksgiving,  just add Spooky for Halloween and then Turkey items for Thanksgiving.  That's 3 Décor Decorating times until Xmas, no other time can you leave you hard work out that long to enjoy!

 I have a new Tablescape with a Tutorial,  a new Fall Mantel

Décor, with an easy Banner.  Front Porch Fall Décor, and just some Fall Décor.  

I love Pumpkins, to look at and EAT!  I wanted Just Pumpkins for my Tablescape but nothing to put them on?  I also did not have just the right candle holders, but no problem after a few days this is what I came up with.

Pine Cones from local trees in a Mason Jar!
Just painted the lids, perfect size to hold the candles.

I had these fence boards from another project, but they are very inexpensive.  I just cut them to the size I wanted, then cut two for the bottom.  I did not want the legs to show, so I cut them shorter.
these serve two purposes, holds the three top boards together and I wanted to easily lift the whole wooden tray for room when eating in large groups.

I get in a hurry when doing some projects, didn't want to get the drill out and drill bits, so easy peasy, just nail a hole to easily get your screw in, they go in sooo much easier

I had these stain for the other project I did not do,
so glad I saved them.  Now they are ready to White Wash.

I just used some diluted white paint on a
dry brush, just play with it until you like the
distressed look.

I loved arranging my stash of pumpkins, this worked for me.

I did this hutch a few years ago and enjoy changing it up for all occasions.  All the pumpkin items were bought at, yes
Thrift stores and Garage sales!

Cutest pumpkin sugar and creamer!

OK, I need your help, anyone know anything about these Pumpkin side dishes I bought in early 1980's.  There is an "S" on the bottom but no luck for me finding the maker.

These dishes are gold, not a good picture here.


Now for the Fall Mantel Décor

This is my first home of many NOT have a Mantel,
Oh, I have had fireplaces, but no Mantel.  So I take great pleasure in finally Decorating it.

I had this webbing, over a year now, knowing I would do something with it someday!  You know when your out and about and see something you like, get it!  That my motto!

This is all I did, and I have plenty left Too!

Before we go outside, this is my hanging wreath as
you exit.  I put this outside last year on the house, but without the Sunflowers.  Every changing things, sound
familiar?

My porch décor is similar to last year, but a new wreath to match my fall vase décor.  I made the scrap wood pumpkin last year.

If you know me, I use Cat tails for everything,
they grew in abundance here, they fascinate me.

Well there you have it, I hope your Fall is Fabulous!
Take Care,

Marilyn

Happy and Safe Halloween to All !!

I just love this picture from a greeting card I purchased.   Too cute!  Just wanted to share.

I changed my fall sign for a Halloween one. (If you saw my last post) My easy scrap wood Pumpkin will be for Fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving!  

I have not planned Thanksgiving but Pumpkin Decor can go a long way, and I love Pumpkins, especially the Name "pumpkin", so cute, not to mention eating all those pumpkin recipes!  Yum!

Now, are these Ghost Fairies too cute?  I took this picture last year from someone!s yard, can't 

take any credit or give a source, sorry don't hurt me anyone!!!!!!!  

If your out there let me know!

They sure look like plastic drop cloth for painting was used?
So they are Shabby precious to me!

 

 

Until next time,

BOO!

Fall Decor & DIY

     Hello, I hope your Summer was as full and wonderful as mine!  Very busy with Family

and house guest.  It had been 3 years since my daughters and 5 grand kids have been all together!

Mom's summer visit, 3 brothers and my new step-daughter.  She found her Dad after 50 years!

Plus we had friends too!  As one left, others arrived on the same day!  I was  quickly changing sheets, cleaning And buying goodies to eat!  Many joke and say "we are a Bed and Breakfast without charging."  We love all and would not have it any other way!

           

Sometimes Blogging needs to be on the back burner!  I am way behind in posting my projects, but since it is Fall, I will start with my Fall décor for outside and inside our Home!

        

Scrap wood Pumpkin

I actually used old fencing, which is one of my favs for old weathered wood.  I am always on the look out for these.  Easy to do, I have seen similar pumpkins on Pinterest

And love them!

          

       

           

Now to show you the back of the pumpkin, so you can see it is Easy!

outside porch fall decor!

If you have visited before you know I always use Cat Tails in my displays, love them and this time they were left natural instead of my usual painting them.

Simple wreath I had done before, just changed the ribbon, which has

Sunflowers on it. (Found at Dollar Tree)

                                      Here is a Halloween DIY Tip!

YES it works, I just sprayed my white bulbs with the paint, of course cover the base.  Hard to show you in a picture, but it really works.  I tried this paint on regular bulbs, and with black paint but this did not work.  Most important, don't use any other bulb but above, the regular bulb gets HOT HOT!  Only use the above bulbs!  This is my second year using my painted orange ones!  Who knows what colors you might try?

Come on inside for some more Fall Decor!

Hubby and I just hanging around!  

I wasn't sure what to do with these, and you know how an idea just pops in your mind, well off I went in the sewing room to whip up a skirt and bow tie, giggling to myself, well I thought it was funny?

Do you know what this black object is?  Tell you in a bit, hint, it is vintage, and was very useful!

My husband brought the little pumpkins home from the grocery store for me, so I needed to do something with them.  I had my dried sunflower heads, which I was saving for the seeds.

I really liked the combination of vintage, primitive and new mixed.

Did you noticed the Crow flew down from the chair to the Vintage Newspaper Roller?  Yes, it rolls 

Paper into logs for the fireplace!  Anyone guess it correctly?  

I dry brushed the wood handles only, the rest is black metal and cast iron legs.  I have had it 4 years, and finally did something with it.

Wishing all of you a great fall!  

It is a wonderful time of year, not to hot, 

not to cold, and full of color!

Best, 

Marilyn
