The last few days have been cool in the morning with highs only getting up into the 80's. It has been so nice after such a hot summer. It has also gotten me in the mood to get out my Fall decorations. I was going through pictures I had taken of my Fall decor in previous years and I have to say most of the photos are not that good. Blogging has really improved my photo taking abilities, even though I still have lots of room for improvement. Anyway, I wanted to share a couple of the photos with you. As soon as I get my decorations up I will post them but until then here is just a little inspiration.
Sorry about the glare on this photo but I loved this arrangement so much I wanted to share. The big pumpkin platter is one of my favorite things to set out at Fall. This picture was taken before my living room redo when I still had green walls.
This picture is from last year (sorry it's a bit grainy). There is that orange pumpkin platter again. Not sure where I will put it this year.
I received quit a few questions on my last post about my living room redo so I wanted to answer them.
No, I did not make the slip covers on my two wing back chairs. I do sew but that project just seemed to daunting to take on so I took one of my chairs into an reupholster and she made the slip covers for me.
I was also asked how long it took to redo. Well, that question is a little hard to answer. I knew I wanted to go lighter for a couple of years and added white accents around the room as I found them at garage sales or antique malls. Once I picked out the paint color and ordered a new sofa (from JcPenney) it only took a weekend to paint.
The wall paint color is Ralph Lauren Canvas Natural and the White on the built ins and the fireplace is Valspar Dove White.
I want to
thank all of you for the

Your fall pieces are very pretty. I love the pumpkins in the wire basket. I am so ready to do some of this around here and every one keeps coming up with things for me to do. I think I am going to get with fall decorating this weekend! Thank you for joining me for Home Sweet Home!
