Fall Friday

Follow Me on Pinterest


Happy Fall Friday!!
 
 
Hope you are having a great week.  We have gotten some much needed rain today & seems to be cooling off..for Texas that is. :)
 
This Fall Friday will feature my dining room.  This is the only room in my house that has all white accents...
 


 
I love color..but the white plates that hang on our red accent wall started the whole white theme.  Also all but 2 items on the top of our china cabinet are family items...and as you can see they are all white..except fot my grandmother's teapot cookie jar, but I love it & the majority of it is white so it works. :)  In the bottom photo there is a curio cabinet that also belonged to my grandmother..I painted it white and added white pitchers.
 
So to go along with the White in the dining room I used only White Pumpkins.
You can see the simple transformation in this post...
 
 



I just love how simple they look & they really tie in with the white accessories in the room.
 
Hope you have a great weekend..next week I will feature a few changes I have made in my home for Fall.
 
 
Hope you have a Decorative Day!!

Fall Friday

Follow Me on Pinterest

Happy Fall Friday!!
 
 
Hope you are having a great week.  To start off Fall Friday I am going to share a super easy & FREE Fall pillow I made this week.  I was going thru my scraps of fabric looking for some Fall fabric I could use on my front porch.  I guess it was my lucky day..I not only found fabric but I also found enough burlap to make an accent pillow.  So this is what I created...
 
 

Since I do sew & quilt I thought I would make a pumpkin applique...it took about and hour to create and no..I don't have a machine that does applique for me I did it the old school way.  More on that  another day...
Here is the full finished pillow.
 


Since I don't do zippers...yet I just made a flap so I could easily change it out for Winter.  I also have a friend that is making my other Fall pillows..they will be here soon so I will post and updated photo with all of them soon.
I hope to have my porch decked out for Fall by the end of the weekend..so stay tuned to the Fall Porch post.
I would love to hear what you have been working on for your home.
 
Hope you have a great weekend.
 
 
Julie


Update:  I got my Fall pillows for the bench...this is how is looks now!!  LOVE!!
