FALL DOOR DECOR

Mark it with a P!

Several years ago I made curtains and pillows for our den, here is one of the pillows.



Our den has somewhat of a English hunt scene theme by way of pictures, decorative plates and some of the fabrics.  

When I found this fabric I thought it was the perfect pattern for a pillow.  And once made, the perfect place for it was on this wing back chair upholstered in a hunt scene design.



Just love this hunting fella and the textures in this fabric, especially the herringbone pattern...

I really liked how the pillow turned out and have enjoyed having it in the den, but there was just a little something missing...

It needed a little something, hmmm...a monogram!

Yep, that's what it needed!  Much better, don't you think?

Love your sweet visits, please leave a comment so I'll know you did!

FALL GREAT ROOM MANTEL

The great room mantel is now ready for the Fall season.

We are in the planning stage of making updates to the great room, but there was something I just had to do right away.  During a thrifting jaunt many years ago, I found this old window and fell in love with it.
In my previous home it hung in an opening between my den and kitchen...it was the perfect place for it!   When we moved in this house the old window found a new home over the great room mantel.  The mantel is a very old piece and was here when we moved in.  I didn't realize until a few months after placing the window above the mantel that they actually had the same decorative diamond design.  That was a nice discovery!



The old window had a few rusty colors on it that I didn't much care for, a bit dingy don't you think...

So out came the AS in Old White to brighten up the old window and fireplace mantel... 

 Here are some close ups of the mantel so you can see how the new paint looks.  Because it is such an old mantel the finish isn't smooth, but I think the dimension from the Old White paint and dark wax really turned out nice.
(It looks darker than it really is in these two pictures, it is lighter as in the picture above.)

The mantel has been decorated for Fall by using pumpkins, gourds, feathers, leaves and berries...

 These little acorns and pumpkins are in the pots at the base of the topiary's, I really like the sparkly ones!

Thank you so much for coming to see me, please leave a comment so I'll know you did!!!
