Decorating for Fall...





Fall is in the air, even here in Florida, though the temperatures are still in the 90's during the day, you can see a change in the sky, the evenings are a bit cooler and the colors are more fall like, and sunsets are spectacular. I normally do not decorate a lot for the Fall Season, I save that for Christmas, I wanted to do something very simple this year since I am hosting Thanksgiving at my home this year again. It is quite apparent I am addicted to Home Goods, try to go there at least once a week. They are full of beautiful fall decorations, and I picked up just a few things. The cafe table was also purchased there, loved the wood tones, but have not found the perfect chairs yet, I still had to add a few little decorations. The chairs, I hope will be found this week...I'm determined! The tile in my dinning room is white washed saltillo (Mexican tile), and the chandelier was in the home when we purchased it. I love the style but hated the brass finish. My husband and I picked out a really pretty brown with copper undertone spray paint with the hammered effects and re-finished it last weekend. I now am in love with it and am so pleased that we didn't replace it. Though washing over 300 crystals, and placing them in the holes for them, became quite challenging as not to drop or break any...I did it. Yeah, sadly I still have the textured ceiling in our dinning room and great-room, that is one of our next to do projects! Happy fall to everyone!!!
