Simple Fall Decor

I’m not sure Mother Nature knows it’s finally fall.  We seem to be rainy in the 70s or rainy in the 40s.  Where’s the sunny mid-50s?  And all these drastic temperature changes have given me a cold.  Or maybe it’s stress.  Anyway, while I’ve been struggling to breathe, I did a little fall decorating.  Nothing fancy, just some simple fall decor for our fireplace and dining table.

I used the pumpkin pails I painted last year again on our fireplace.  Can you believe how much the tile has improved the overall look?!  It’s amazing!

Since I now have the tall black vases on the fireplace step, I wanted something fall themed.  I fell in love with these eucalyptus bunches at Hobby Lobby.  The eucalyptus green is a bit of a teal green which matches our house so well and the gold, navy, purple, and maroon are perfect for fall.

Over in our dining area, I added some metallic pumpkin and gourd vase fillers to a lantern.

I needed a break from the  teal and white placements but just the lantern on the table seemed bare.  I found some burlap at Walmart and cut two strips as a makeshift runner.  It cost all of $3 but I think it adds a lot to the table.  As do the small votive baskets on either side that match the ones on the mantle.  They were a Pottery Barn find last year.

And that’s it.  My simple fall decor.  It will take us from now through Thanksgiving!
