I am a Victorian Soul, who lives in a small townhouse that was built in the mid 1970's, not a huge Mega Mansion!! I just recently lost my Hubby Joe, who was a Retired Letter Carrier. I worked night shift as an RN on a Hospital based Rehabilitation( Physical Medicine) Unit for 37 years before I had Knee Replacement Surgery and officially Retired in 2019 after 41 years working in Direct Patient Care ... I am so glad that we retired at 62 years of age and got to spend that time together before he passed....I still do love Retirement!!!!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

Today, I want to share how I decorated my Living Room in an Elegant Fall Theme but I will be doing it in a 3 posts and this one is Part 1.

We will start with the hutch that is right to the left of the front door when you walk in........
I added some Fall touches to it......

But first, on the side of the hutch.........
Fall Florals and a pumpkin that I made out of a roll of toilet paper and a gold glittered flamesless candle.........
A Scarecrow rests in the planter.....
The top of the hutch.......
A Fall plate with leaves on it......
 A Fall Leaf garland.......
 Glittered candles, pumpkins and gourdes.......
On the other side of the hutch.......
Inside the Hutch.......
I added some pumpkin, gourd and Indian corn tea lights.......
Along with some pumpkins..........
Looking down the hall way...........
On the stairs......
A Metal pocket filled with Fall florals.....
Lanterns .......
Colored flameless candles......
And more pumpkins made from rolls of toilet paper....
A Fall rug that Joe bought......
A Fall Broom and a tussie mussie that I made.......
Fall florals added to the top of the curio......
A Fall Floral arrangement with orange LED lighted branches in the pitcher.....
A Fall display on the chair......
Pumpkins and acorns......
 Pine cones and leaves.......
Below the chair.......
 More pumpkins.......
The Curio....
On the floor by the Curio......
I just bought this cute squirrel at Big Lot's......

Looking down the hall way toward the Kitchen.....
On the side of the chair by the Dining Room......
I bought this vintage style Stereo System a few years ago at Big Lot's........
A few different style pumpkins........
 A Fall bottle and leaf votive candle holder.....
 Joe saw the table at an Antique Co Op and I thought it was a perfect match!!
 I added a few Autumn touches to each section......
I made the floral arrangement inside the cute wagon that I bought at a Flea Market......
Over on the chair, are 2 pillows that I made.......
The gold pillow is made out of napkins that match the runners and tablecloths that I will now use in the Living Room for Fall, Christmas and Valentine's Day........

I bought these linens in Target many years ago on Clearance after Christmas and it took me this long to make pillows out of the napkins!!
Now this story will surely make you laugh........

I made an Autumn pillow out of a stamped cross stitch piece that I made .......

Wait for it......

OVER  35 YEARS AGO!!!!!!
I never said I was quick on finishing projects!! Truth be told, I really didn't know what to do with this piece......
I used the another napkin for the back of the pillow......

I did make another pillow out of yet another stamped cross stitch piece that I also made over 35 years ago and I will show you that one in my next post when I share the rest of the Living Room decorated for Fall........
So I hope you will be back to visit soon!!

And thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!

Debbie
