I like to fiddle with my decore. I have NEVER decorated for any season other than Christmas, but this year I decided to give it a shot. I tend to keep my scope and sequence manageable and simple so my dining table and mantle were theĀ only recipients of mini-makeovers.
I just kept it natural. I raided my pantry and we filled some glass holders with beans, bird seed, coffee beans and almonds. We bought some gourds from a local farm, cut some greenery from our backyard and added a few dollar tree flower stems for a pop of added color.
Usually this frame holds a black and white photo of our home, but I think it will become a rotating seasonal piece. This photo of the tree in our back yard, was taken last year as I laid on our trampoline.
The mantle will be a traditional focal point for holiday arranging. I had alot of fun and I don’t think the pictures do it justice.
These gourd luminaras were a great quick project. Hollowed out, drilled and lit up they are a whimisical addition to my mantle. Thanks Martha, this was one of her “good things”.



Cool! Awesome!
Gorgeous, Samuel.
