Happy Weekend Everyone...
This is a rainy and cool one here in SW Missouri. But after this year's extreme heat and drought it will be a long time before I complain about rainy and cool. nope...happy for the change in seasons here. I wanted to share a few more spaces around the house that I've been decorating for Fall, so a rainy gray day doesn't effect the hall sideboard. It's always gray and hard to photo since there isn't any natural light. I always feel like I have to start off with an apology for the photos. They're never very good because I have to have all the bright lights on just to get anything remotely usable. But here goes...
I changed out my galvanized flower bucket
for a wheat sheaf and some Fall apples and pears.
(oooh, and I found this great burlap-y linen wired ribbon, too)
I added in a fruit lithograph from the early 1900's, to the vintage window hanging there. I love that old window as a backdrop to my seasonal displays. Actually, I have a pair of these old lithographs, companion pieces, but this is my favorite with all the Autumn fruit in still life. I bought them both for about $40 at an antique mall here. I think the frames were the deterrent for them not selling at a much higher price The frame had been painted gold, but I decided to distress them down, and then realized they had been white underneath. I like the finish much better now. White, but with some of the gold still showing.
Here's my latest velvet pumpkin baby that I bought yesterday; so yummy in a creamy antique white. It has the real pumpkin stem which I love.
Still using the old metal tray with fruit.
Love these dark rich colors for Autumn.
and my wine crates...
As you can see, things didn't change a lot with my sideboard tweaking. Just changed out the sunflower theme for a more Fall feeling with the fruit, wheat, berries, and pumpkins.

Your seasonal vignettes are truly the loveliest. You always inspire me to do some tweaking around our house!
You feel like you should apologize for the pictures?? I know that feeling, but in my case it's appropriate. Yours, however, are great! We'd never know you were working with a lighting "situation". The fall vignette is so pretty!
Love your new white velvet pumpkins, Debra! I also love your tureen. It looks a lot like the one I picked up at GW a month or so ago. I'm using mine in my Fall decorating, too.
Oh I love it all. So pretty. The floral arrangement is stunning and I adore that white velvet pumpkin. Everything is so lovely. Hugs, Marty
So beautiful Debra!... and quit apologizing for your photos, they are fantastic!... love your look for Autumn... your galvanized bucket is so pretty with the wheat and the burlap ribbon... and your wine crates are gorgeous!... I'll take a glass of that Chardonnay, s'il vous plait... I'll be out on the sunporch... xoxo Julie Marie
I always have to peek at your sideboard posts. The sideboard itself is so beautiful and there's always something interesting and beautiful on top.

Debra, this vignette is truly beautiful! You have done a wonderful job. You have given me some inspiration for a wine crate that I bought. This is so pretty!
Your sideboard is beautiful Debra! I love it! Happy fall!
Blessings~
Oh is that ever gorgeous. I love how you always add so many beautiful natural elements. I am so jealous of your cooler weather. I dream of rain and cool days. I fear it will never come for us.
Hey Debra!
Lucky you with the rain and coolness...107 here today. You know we have 80 degree weather sometimes on Christmas,so I do not know why I act surprised with the heat in Fall :)I love the side board,I too mixed my whites and creams with autumn rust and golds. I really need to get those photos posted of my Fall house. I am so glad Debra is happy with her order,I hope she sells out quickly and comes back for more.
Smiles and Blessings,
sheila
Debra: Beautiful setting. The lithograph is just the perfect touch. It all looks just right..Happy Saturday..Judy
So very pretty that it makes me want to visit in person! Happy Autumn!
That is a beautiful vignette, Debra. Love how you have it stacked and layered.
Hi sweet Debra!! It was so good to hear from you girl! Thank you for visiting me...and you're right, I do need to participate, don't I? Your displays are always so gorgeous, you have the most amazing way of putting things together!!! Each and every item is beautiful but together they are perfect! I hope you are having a great weekend dear friend, hugs and love, Dawn
Great vinette! It was a cool rainy day here in Arkansas today too. Perfect day to stay in a nd decorate for fall.
Love it Debra. You layer so well. The window is the perfect backdrop. Thanks for keeping up with me this week:} love ya, olive
It looks great. I love the muted colors with the pop of dark colors. Last year you had a little squirrel in your decorations. I hope he comes out again, I fell in love with him.
Those are beautiful vignettes! It inspires me to put together something fallish for the house. We live in the country and it's fallish all around us now.
Your autumn display looks wonderful! I've been kicking myself for 2 days since I passed up a wicker jug like yours at Junk Bonanza. Darn!
Thanks again for the feature. I've been entertaining lots of new visitors at 911 the past few days. :@
Debra,
Ah~h~h this vignette is as refreshing as the rain and cooler temperatures here on the Prairie!!!I adore the use of fruits in your galvanized bucket!!! The renewal of the frame hue makes a huge impact on your vintage print! I agree, that metal tray is gorgeous...and a perfect backdrop in this arrangement! Your new velvet pumpkin is adorable. EnJOY this weather, dear friend!!!
Fondly,
Pat
P.S. Noticed a few pumpkins are out in our town! Yeah!!!
Gorgeous... and that is one BIG window! Love your velvet pumpkin with the natural stem! :)
Just gorgeous, Debra.
I keep hoping to walk out to a brisk cool morning here, but not yet.

Tina
Debra that looks absolutely beautiful!! LOVE IT!
I think your creations are so beuatiful!!!
You inspire me to change some things in my home. I love this decoration style.
My english is terrible because I'm from Brazil.

Debra, it's a rainy day here as well. Loving just sitting out in our glass sunroom listening to the rain. ;-)
Guess this would be a good day to get some fall decor out and about here........Sarah
I love it all, so dreamy!
I LOVE your new pumpkin!!! I've been wanting to make some of those. I see them everywhere but, I still don't have one. So pretty. I did pack up the shells & beachy things making ready for fall. Moved the fall picture into the living area... but, it's not all done yet in the works. You're soooooooo ahead of me & everything looks beautiful! Enjoy

This looks so beautiful Debra! You sure have the Fall touches going on.
I like all the elements you use, but the way you put them together is what boosts your sideboard all the way up to spectacular. Wow!
I think your images turned out great, your sideboard is beautiful with a small change and now you have the look for Fall. I do love the window over the sideboard, it must be so fun to decorate.
I love your velvet pumpkin! It is gorgeous, all of it! I like this area of your home, it is a favorite. Thank you for joining me at Home Sweet Home! I have you down for the giveaway!
