Fall Garden Room 2019

Did I tell you that we have a new Pottery Barn outlet? 
If you have read Savvy Southern Style, you may have been envious that Kim lived very close to a PB outlet. She always has stunning bedrooms and it seems like a lot of her seasonal pillows and bedding came from there. 

I got a Pottery Barn gift card for my birthday in May. 
This summer I popped over to the store in hopes of finding a seasonal pillow of my own. 

  
Although, it seemed ridiculously expensive, I blew the whole gift card on this amazing pumpkin pillow. 
I absolutely love it. 
The little dresser we are using as an end table came from my step mother's house. 
It belonged to my great grandparents. 
It was labeled on the back by my mother or grandmother. 
My birth mom was sick for about 7 years so she and my grandmother labeled a lot of items so we would know where they came from. 


It is a lot lighter than my other furniture but it is a cutie. Now that I look at the picture, I think my parents changed the pulls to make it look more colonial. I'm sure the original pulls were more Victorian because they would have married in the late 1800s. 
I may need to hunt for a more Victorian looking pull. 


Our red truck got a darling real green and white pumpkin and bittersweet. 
I have some fairy lights going all over it too. 
This apple ale candle smells divine! 


The blue and white transferware pitcher also came from my step mom's house. 
My brother was going to take it but I said "no - not happening". 
If he is reading this, I will remind him that he got the lusterware cat that sat on my dad's desk. 
That was the item we all remembered and we all wanted it. 
I'm loving this rusty moment with the mums and our rust wool throw. 



 I've lost a lot of display space out here since we moved the holiday cupboard out to the entryway so my tiered tray got some fall decor. 


The wooden squirrel was from Walmart as a little three piece wall hanging. I took it apart. There were two little wooden acorns that I used some where else.  


The pumpkins were from Dollar Tree. 
I painted the checked one. 


Bill has a cozy corner for reading. I did not clean up his books for you. He has quite a selection going right now because he is an avid reader.
The chair is IKEA. 
The throws came from Tuesday Morning. 


The secretary desk got a bit of fall decor and some fairy lights. 



I dropped the scarecrow the other day so now he has a broken butt. 



The farm stand from a RAZ Import warehouse sale got some fall love. 




I can already tell that this is going to be a favorite planter to decorate for the seasons. 
There you go.

I'm So Done (With Orange)!

It was only a few days until Halloween but I was so done with the orange!


I love October, I do!
It finally starts to cool off here in Texas. 
I love the idea of pumpkins and scarecrows everywhere but the orange drives me nuts. 


I picked up some flowers for my sister in law at the grocery store. 
I forgot to take them to her and they live too far away to run them by.
 They inspired a deeper tone for these last few days of October.


The deeper reds mimic the deep tones in a vintage oil painting. 
It was only $5.00 at the thrift store a few years ago.
I actually hid it from myself. It took me about a week to find it in my tote of Valentine's Day stuff. 
I know exactly how my brain was organizing that day. 
Flowers = Valentine's Day


It didn't matter that these look like Chrysanthemums to me and that the painting should have been with the fall stuff or maybe with the paintings. 
 The lamp came from Target. 
My husband loves it in the entry way. 
I like it here with the white painted cupboard.


I'm may head out this weekend to see if I can find another lamp for the dresser in the entry.
He asked why I moved it.


I told him that the other lamp looked better with the Halloween vignette. 
He was tormented by it and wondered if other husbands had to live with continually moving objects in the home. 
I know that other blogger husbands do. 


The acorn came from Pier 1 years ago. 
It got a silver leaf treatment.


I love, love the light green and pinkish purple of the flowers on the coffee table. 
They might have to come back for a Thanksgiving 
table setting.
How do you feel about orange by the end of October?
