Early Fall Color in the Entry

When the calendar flipped to September I knew it was time to change out my all white flower arrangement on the entry console. I had left the white flowers there all summer; (usually I'm not that lazy...) But changing up arrangements was on my to-do list and I thought I'd try a little more color for this early part of the month.

I usually have a more neutral look for Early Fall,

but I thought I'd bring out some bold color with a mix for a change.

I usually have multiple looks for Fall.

Early fall, Fall, Late Fall...

(i know)

They all have different feels and elements.

Right now I want a lighter look

and no heavy texture.

White faux sunflowers, hydrangeas 

and colorful preserved Fall leaves

 get together in the French-y ceramic vase.

I found several of these wonderful vintage reproduction prints years ago,

 and this one with a pear and apple display just looks like "September".

I found this dramatic vintage black frame in my stash 

and I love how it really sets off the print. 

A faux bittersweet vine encircles the mirror.

Bittersweet is getting harder and harder to find in our area.

Last year it was basically nowhere,

but my brother-in-law happened to find some

while out tromping in the woods.

I wrangled some out of my sweet sister.

The concrete pears were a purchase a few years ago.

...Love the small one with the gold paint accent.

My bittersweet shade of paint (Spicy Hue from SW) for the front door
shows up accurately and true-to-color inside.
It's just perfect for Fall.

You can see my front door basket thru the glass.

Last week I took out the Summer flowers

and added in a few deeper color blooms.

I kept the black/white check burlap ribbon,

which will get changed out for a more Fall feel later.

My garage is a sea of open tubs of Fall decor and florals.

I love decorating for this time of year,

but wow, I have a lot of stuff to sort through.

I've remade this flower arrangement multiple times

and I'm still tweaking it... sigh.

Please come by Monday evening.
