Fall Vignettes

Pin It

This week I have been working on decorating the dining room for Autumn.

I am no expert on creating vignettes, but here is the way I do it.

Step 1.  Clear the surface and start with a clean slate.

Step 2.  Gather any and all items you think you "might" want to use in your vignette.

Step 3.  Begin layering items

When I layer in my items, I try to start with taller items in the center then work my way out and down.  I move things around, add in items, take items out, and just basically play until my eye feels happy.

 I was inspired by the mixing of textures and finishes of Pottery Barn fall displays I have seen.  I combined rustic elements, like the picture frame, with different colors of gold, silver, and mercury glass.

 The gourd and pumpkins were from HomeGoods

I picked up the urn and picture frame at Hobby Lobby.  The paper leaves and moss came from Dollar Tree.
The free printable came from here.

I also added some cozy placemats to the table.  The candleholders were on clearance at Anthropologie.  I like to have a little centerpiece on the table, but don't like it to be something that always has to be moved or gets in the way of conversation.  I am happy with this little platter of lavender and candles.

I am really wanting to add some items on the wall to fill in around the mirror.

  I picked up these plates at TJ Maxx for  $7 and am thinking them over.

I also picked up this little gal at HomeGoods, isn't she caauute?!!

 I don't think I will put her out until a little later in October though.
