A little Fall color for a change...


Small changes in the Living Room have brought in the Fall color.
This is such a traditional and formal room that I try to just "tweak" it,
more than completely "re-doing" it.




My Pottery Barn urn that held large conch and nautilus shells on the coffee table
during the summer, has found a fat Cinderella pumpkin for the season.



Fall leaves, potpourri, and stone pumpkins now sit on my French inspired tray.



Along with a Lefton Chipmunk, some silver and vintage rhinestone jewelry.



My mantle doesn't see a lot of change, just Autumn bouquets
and a bittersweet wreath to replace the Summer colors.











My mantle isn't very deep, so when I happened to find these "half urns" at Goodwill last Spring I was really excited. They fit perfectly and then I just change out the florals for the season.













A recent addition to the Living Room is a wonderful handpainted piece of art by Dore, from Burlap Luxe. If you haven't met Dore, please go visit her gorgeous blog. She's a beautiful girl, inside and out, and has recently been shown in Romantic Homes Magazine. While you're there visit her Etsy Store, filled with other pieces of her art.









I'm linking with Marty today for Table Top Tuesday






And Kathleen from Faded Charm for White Wednesday.

Please go by and visit the other beautiful blogs for these parties.

Hope you're having a great week,
I'm trying to get back to the routine, after last week.
It was wonderful getting to see family all together,
even though it was a sad occasion.

hugs and blessings to you all,
Debra

    Don't tell anybody but I'm at my Sisters for a little sister time and a blog break. I did sneak in and take a few minutes to look at your blog and I'm so glad that I did! Your fall decor isn absolutely stunning! Here in the mountains of WV I'm seeing lots of pretty fall colors and decorations.

  23. What a beautiful living room! Gorgeous -- I can see why you don't need to do much from season to season -- it's lovely just as it is.

    The big urn with the pumpkin -- adorable! And I love the half-urns on the mantelpiece. Perfect for MY narrow mantel, too -- so if you ever get tired of them, sling them over my way.

    Beautiful! And just "enough."

    Hope you are having a good week, busy getting ready for the Ruffles and Rust Show!

  30. I think all of us in this business are "tweakers" in a non-drug related way! We just can't let our stuff just "be"! I know I'm exactly that way, then go to my store and do the same thing. I LOVE all your photos, as always.

    Take care, Sue

  40. Hi Debra, This is such a pretty room and I love the tall fireplace and the beams. I also have a narrow mantle and it makes it hard to decorate. The half urns are fabulous and the pumpkins in the urns are so cute.
    Hugs, Sherry

  41. Love your urns with the pumpkins...I do that too and I always think it looks so good showing them off like that. Your vaulted ceiling and the beams are great...you lucky girl! I have become one of your followers.

  42. I had to do a double take on those half urns....Goodwill boy we must have a different Goodwill here because I would never find anything that nice in our local store.
    Good for you!

    Love all that you've done btw,

  44. Debra, that painting is perfect...your home is a sanctuary!
    Love the way the ceiling is reflected in the mirror. UM...can you find me a pair of those half urns at the GoodWill...I love them! All I ever find is baby clothes and not cute ones even.
    Debbie
    P.S. Being with family is reaffirming...especially when you need them the most.
