What Meegan Makes Fall Tour

October 1, 2013 By Meegan 20 Comments

Happy First Day of October!  It’s time for What Meegan Makes Fall Tour and I am inviting you along!  I can hardly wait to share my Fall Tour with you.  I mixed old and new projects, fresh and fake pumpkins, along with some ideas I can’t resist sharing with you on the What Meegan Makes Fall Tour.

 

So, whatta you say? Let’s get this tour on the road!

Welcome to our Fall Home…

What Meegan Makes Fall Tour

AS you know, I LOVE my book shelves.  They are definitely a focal point in our home.  I have enjoyed adding some Fall decor to the book shelves and the whole house.

Pine cones and colored marbles in a vessel make me smile.  I get the touch of blue I like with the rustic and natural look of the pine cone.

Even a shoe mold needs a little Fall, too.  Don’t you think???

Using some blue jars, I am able to add rustic elements for a Fall feel and look.

I LOVE my Gather Banner.  It finishes off with such a good feel of soft feathers and again the rustic look with pine cones.

The artichokes are real.  They are dried and add a little more variety of color for my Fall look.  Filling my gold vase with more blue and turquoise marbles adds color and texture.

Pine cones atop my candle sticks along with a thrifted bottle are a perfect addition the the top of the book shelves.  The water can was a gift from hubby.  He likes the galvanized look as much as I do.  The cloche is a thrift find.  Pine cones seem to be one of the main elements in our home, don’t they?

Adding more blue bottles, my bling pumpkin, and more pine cones finish off the whole look of the book shelves.

The chest my grandpa made is topped with blues, greens, oranges, and reds.  Don’t you just love the insulator colors???

This cute owl was a great find at Target.  He looks cute on a candle holder.  Just perfect for the chest, right?

Sitting on my $15 coffee table, I couldn’t have my Fall tour without my book page pumpkin.  As you can tell, I like adding the blue marbles and pine cones just about everywhere.

This jar is one of my favorites in the house right now!  I had a strand of berries, wadded it up and literally crammed it into the jar.  And it looks crazy good!!

Any chance I get, I use my little bird bath.  I love filling it with glass drawer pulls, vintage keys, and a ceramic birdie.

Moving towards the kitchen you will see my Grandpa’s croquet box filled with various flowers, leaves and berries.  This croquet box is an all-time fave of my readers.  I have fun using my creativity to fill it for each season and holiday.

And now we have the kitchen shelves.  Since I don’t have a mantel, I love to use these as my mantel.  I can honestly say, this is my favorite part of our home right now.

Mixing fake and real pumpkins, with an acorn squash or two, a few berries, more pine cones,  and a wreath, I am in Fall Heaven!

The shutter was a thrift find.  I brought it home and made it vintage looking.  It is the ideal way to top off the shelves.

Can you see why this is my favorite spot??

The acorn squash sets atop a thrifted candle holder.  It looks like it was made for it doesn’t it?

 

Thanks for joining me on What Meegan Makes fall Tour. It has been a treat to have you here and share just a bit of my idea of what Fall feels like to me.

It is always a pleasure to have you here!  What are your favorite decorations and colors for this Fall?  I would love to hear all about it.

    My eyes are dancing with delight right now Meegan!
    Seriously, I just can’t get enough of all the beautiful details you’ve added to make it so fabulously fall-ish in your home. The artichokes along side of the pinecones! Who know they could be perfect together?! The little birds, the feathers, sand, pumpkins…I could stay all day.
    Wonderful decorating my friend. Oozing – awesome.
    Cheers,
    Therese
