Autumn Grace

Here it is Columbus Day, and I've finally put the last touches on the autumn decor in our home.  This year I'm really into gray, soft brown, tan and warm cream colors.    This corner of our living room got some pillows switched out and a new canvas drop cloth cover on the daybed:

I was able to line up a seam on the drop cloth with the edge of the mattress so that it almost looks custom fitted.  The grain sack hearts on the window were made for the Vintage Bazaar, and are now available in my Etsy shop.

These hydrangeas are aged to perfection, here in the urn on my corner desk:

The Santos doll got a rustic skirt for this time of year, fastened with twine:

I love to add ribbons to architectural posts:

Our two white chairs got new pillow covers, made from a soft panne velvet.  I thought the color was grey in the store, but now I see it has a greenish tint.

At first the pillow covers were a simple square, but I thought they looked too plain.  I ended up gathering up the front of the pillow cover for a ruched effect.  It's more interesting now, and echoes the soft lines in the pumpkins:

I can't decide if this large pumpkin is grey, blue or green, but I love how it looks on this table:

Now if you're loving grey lately like me (I know there's a lot of you out there!), you will adore this book called "A Life Less Ordinary" by Zoe Ellison and Alex Legendre.  The authors own a cool store in England.  I caught a book review in the English version of Country Living magazine not long ago.

Take a look inside....I just adore these bedrooms and want to do our bedroom over just like them:

Have a great week friends!
