F*A*L*L Accent *Go-Withs* Against ViNtaGe Finds...


NEEDING
"JuSt A Little Bit of FALL COLOR"
 ~ "Season's Change Beginning" ~

Needing to keep my Seasonal Decor Accents
to a minimum, -during our "House For Sale Showings,"
-I added "just a small PoP-Of-CoLoR"
with these small Fabric Pumpkins... 

THE COLOR
livens up this otherwise drab vignette... 
This Antique/ViNtaGe Butter Churn adorned 
with subtle changing leaf branches now feels alive!
CLEAN...  FRESH... SIMPLE...



 I LoVe working with WHITE!*!*!
You can instantly change up the whole vibe of a room 
by simply introducing a rich COLOR that draws the eye,
in something as SIMPLE as these 2 Fall Accent Pillows...




Out & About 
On a walk the other day... ~ Came across some wild
BITTERSWEET BERRY VINES!!!
I popped them on this
 Vintage Architectural Header to Dry...
