Well, there is no denying fall now. The mornings are crisp, the leaves are changing beautiful colors, and it's football season. (Go Frogs!) I went to an apple orchard today, and needless to say, I came home inspired to decorate our house with a new sense of fall!
What's great about all of the little pieces that make up this arrangement is that everything (expect the pumpkin) came from my yard...or my neighbors! Shhh.
My absolute favorite thing about this arrangement is the dried hydrangea. During the summer, I had bright pink, purple and blue hydrangea bushes, and I love how they have turned this fall!To make this arrangement, I simply worked in layers. I set the pumpkin in first, positioned the sticks in the back for height, and then worked my way around the front with the hydrangea, sedum and yellow leaves. Once I got to this point, I felt like it needed a little something extra, and so I laid my eyes on a tree in our front yard with these great red berries!
And moving inside...
These jumbo acorns from my mom are the perfect touch to my dining room center piece!
Love it! Besides the great, new centerpiece, the richness of this room is so inviting. We have three walls painted a putty gray and the wall you are seeing is a plum brown.The jewel of this room is the light fixture! Just a side note!
These leaves I actually saved in a baggie from last year...did I think Rochester, MN wasn't going to have enough leaves this year?! I also adore pheasant feathers...and I have to say, though they aren't from my yard I didn't buy these either! hehe.
These same items add a bold color to really enhance our mantle.
Had to throw in my hand-painted, purple acorn from my mother-in-law. Wonder why she picked purple?!
Ohhh, and I found these dark berries in our backyard. They added an extra dimension to this arrangement.
From our house to yours...Happy Fall!
