Adding A Touch of Fall

I have decided that for now I am going to keep the Aqua in the Living/Dining room, so adding a touch of fall called for pulling out a few of my burnt orange accessories.  I used a rusty/burnt orange fabric for pillows and a table runner when we first moved into the house 6 yrs ago, so this is an easy addition.

I want the look to be subtle, so I think one pillow and the table runner is enough.

This floral arrangement is one I made last fall, so it is being recycled too.  The colors are perfect.






The fabric on the pillow is formal enough that it works well with the aqua pillows.


I scrunched the runner on the coffee table and swapped out the aqua candles for some white ones.  The aqua just looked way tooooooooo predictable.


A cute little aqua pumpkin that I found at GW last year.  Perfect.


The dining area needed some of the burnt orange/rust color, so the perfect place for the cornucopia that I just found at GW.








I placed it on a gold charger, added a berry garland and some berry picks, feathers and a tiny aqua hydrangea.  Just had to add a touch of that color.


Totally free easy change to bring in a little fall.  Love it when that happens.

So, are you thinking fall?

  13. Just the right amount of touches for this last week of August, Marty! I'm thinking and planning but not putting any Fall decor into action just yet. I was thinking next week, but hubby will be off, so I may just wait so I can play around with things until the following week.

  18. So pretty, Marty! I love the touches of blue. Now hey, I'm not quite ready for fall yet. Where'd summer go? lol! I do love fall - the colors, the scents, dressing warmer. Just prefer the sunny days in the 70s and prefer to ignore the impending NEXT season which I do not like!
