Decorating for Fall

September 16, 2012 By Mary

We don’t have a fireplace in our house, so I used my dining room buffet to do a little fall decorating.

I filled a antique tool box with pumpkins, pheasant feathers and starfish.  I added a few faux bittersweet vines and the centerpiece is a plate from Anthropologie.  It was made in collaboration with English artist Lou Rota.  She is  a graphic artist who designs tableware along with one of a kind upcycled vintage dishes.    Her work is amazing.
I added a swan squash and an orange orchid to the mix.
Mums were placed in the copper tub and green apples were added to a bowl.
My motto is to keep it simple. I’m ready for fall.

    I love your plate wall! It adds a nice pop of color to the wall, and with the addition of your toolbox filled with autumn goodies you’re ready for the colder weather fast approaching. Brrrr…..

    Mary, your fall goodies are pretty but that plate wall is stunning!! I love the combination of colors and plates that you have up there. Are some of them from Anthro like the swan plate?

    I love the way you used the swan gourd(that’s what we call it in the South! Ha!). I used one in the fall on my front porch and enjoyed it so much. I actually spray-painted it gold and used it on my hearth at Christmas.
