Fall Dining Room

Mr. B loves our dining room table as 

much as I do but,

as much as I like to fill it with dishes etc.,

he likes it best when 

the decor is kept simple.

So, I decided to just decorate the table

with a simple fall centerpiece for him

until I go crazy again and

set it for Canadian Thanksgiving next week

and then Halloween.

 I used a simple off white runner 

from Ikea.

The two green candle goblets came 

from Burlington Coat Factory.

Don't forget, they sell

more than clothing!

They also have awesome home decor!

For the center I took a 

trifle bowl that was a gift

from Ms K and randomly hot glued

some faux leaves along the outside and wrapped

it up with some twine.

I then filled it with 

little faux pumkins, gourds and pinecones 

from my Fall stash bin.

An orange candle sits in the center.

Two smaller red votive candles 

sit on each side.

I decorated the buffet with my 

favorite tiered tray from Ikea.

 The bottom tier has Fall sunflowers,

pinecones and leaves.

The middle is filled with mini pumpkins

from Walmart.

And the top is full of faux acorns, also from Walmart.

A couple of ceramic pumpkins 

surround one of the plants I

repotted from an arrangement

we received when daddy passed away in February.

A fun little crow is caged up

in a tall cloche.

He adds just the right touch of whimsy to the buffet.

On the opposite end of the buffet sits

a thrifted pheasant, another re-potted plant

and a mercury glass hour glass

I found on sale at, of all places,

Lamps Plus! 

I never knew they had decor 

as well as lighting!

I had to run in to get a projector bulb for work

and I could have spent all day there!

I will be going back soon!

 Max let me dress up the little table

that he has a bed under for when 

we have storms or he just needs some alone time.

I filled a thrifted wine crate with

all kinds of faux flowers,

pumpkins and acorns.

It is Mr. B's most favorite of all

the fall decor I have done this year.

My inspiration was from 

Carlene's decorated fall suitcase that she 

shared at the party a few weeks ago.

 I placed some faux leaves and a leaf I cut

from sheet music into a distressed frame

and placed it in front of the box

 A covered acorn and pumpkin bowl

sit on each side.

 A pair of my favorite candle sticks

complete the vignette.

I love to decorate for the seasons

but, mostly I love

to decorate in a way that

Mr. B finds pleasing too!

I wonder what he'll think when

I get the Halloween bin out?
