Fall in Blush

Welcome to my Fall Home Tour. This year, I decided to go pink. Non-traditional, I know, but I love muted pinks and blush tones. There’s a softness to those colors that just lends itself to a season of knitted mittens, and fuzzy blankets, and snuggles by a crackling fire.

I love Fall, can you tell?

Tablescape

I thoroughly enjoy decorating my dining room table for holidays, and this tablescape is taking me from September into November.

The centerpiece was made using a Mercury glass candlestick, some Styrofoam, and an assortment of faux flowers from Michaels. I used moss to cover the Styrofoam in the end. Then I surrounded the centerpiece with a variety of pumpkins, berries, Magnolia flowers, pinecones, and Mercury glass tealights.

Remember my blue pumpkins in Autumn Reminisce? I simply painted them blush this time around.

For the place setting, I used champagne chargers from Michaels, my white china, and these beautiful plates from Anthropology (gift from my awesome sister who knows I love, love, love plates)! The flatware is the Sawyer Collection from World Market.

I made those Feather Napkin Rings! Aren’t they gorgeous?

Buffet Table

I kept the buffet table pretty simple. I hung a beaded wreath in front of the mirror with a strip of burlap (a little glamour meets rustic) and added some moss, pinecones, and feathers to an Easter-turned-Fall-basket.

Mantle

I wanted to incorporate more blush and pink tones on the mantle as well. I added some silver and blush pumpkins, as well as some pale pink Azaleas. I tucked moss and feathers in between for texture and whimsy. I used some scrapbook paper leftover from my Valentine’s Day decor and printed Love Fall on it, then inserted it into a glass frame I found at Marshalls.

Here I used a few Magnolia flowers, Silverleaf, and pinecones.

Remember these Mercury glass candle holders from last year’s A Simple White Christmas? They are now pumpkin stands.

Baskets, Pillows, and Nests

I have been wanting this basket from Target for some time now. Love being able to write on the chalk label. I have always adored the saying Come Sit a Spell, but who knows? I may change it to Come Snuggle as the weather continues to cool. Whatever…I can have fun with it, right?

On the bar, I added a bird’s nest with a pumpkin. I love the Guinea fowl feathers against the pale pink pumpkin.

I recovered all of our chair and sofa cushions with various shades of grays and tans (Hancock Fabrics had an awesome sale on their upholstery fabrics, and I simply could not resist). All covered are removable, so they can come off again in the spring. Even better, right?
