A Little Touch of Fall

I love the colors of autumn because they seem to fit with my color decor.  My home has a lot of red and gold tones.   I’ll show you……

Remember the $1.00 mantel in our family room……

005

Well I went to one of our local thrift stores and I  believe I must have bought every brass candle stick they had there.  I paid a whopping $4.45 for all of them.

I sprayed painted them and they now look like this……..

An evening glow.  I love to light them at night while we’re watching TV.

Our kitchen table…….

The pitcher just recently was purchased at an auction for $2.00.  I love the color! 

032

I had to fill the candy tray at least three times in the last two weeks.  Somebody keeps eating it all up!

Now onto the dining room………025

and this……..

The table at the front door entry.   A glass pitcher filled with pinecones, acorns and  twigs with little orange berries on it.

The inside of the front door.

An antique table behind the sofa has a white pitcher filled with maple leaves.

A little touch of fall in my office on my desk below.033

And last but not least, not only do you see a little bit of fall on the inside of my home but you can also smell it.  First thing in the morning, I fill my little simmering potpourri pot with Pumpkin Spice Latte…need I say more………It smells yummy!

Hope you enjoyed your tour of  a little touch of fall in  my home.

Blessings,

Gail

  5. Yup looks like you are all ready to enjoy fall! I wish I was there - still am trying to get the house together after we got all the furniture unloaded from our other house- It's coming together though!

    Everything looks so very lovely!

  6. Gail,
    Your fall decorations look so beautiful. I love the black candlesticks. What a great deal! I'm so jealous. My fall decor is a little lacking this year. But I do have my favorite fall candle to make the house smell delicious.
    Blessings to you, friend,

  8. Don't you just love spray paint? I used it on some thrifted candlesticks, as well. I am enamored with an oil rubbed bronze finish these days! Your home looks very festive with fall color. I like your dining room tablescape. Now.... if someone could just stay out of the candy!

  17. I'm having an internal debate about spray painting a gold mirror black. I want to, but my mom and sister-in-law say absolutely not to do it. Seeing how beautiful your painted items are, I'm tempted just to do it!!!

  21. Oh I love your pictures! Your home feels so warm and cozy. I just spray painted some nasty old brass standing lamps with Oil Rubbed Bronze and they turned out fabulous. Is there anything spray paint can't do???!!!

  29. Absolutely beautiful. I'm so jealous!! I can't seem to get the computer or the papers that come home from school off my table for more than 30 minutes at a time. Usually my decorations just get lost in the mix. lol
