Hello everyone I hope all is well, it has been cool and beautiful in New Jersey today.
Today’s post is a little longer, since I have a lot of Fall items in the great room to show you (see post about home goods! LOL)
Many of you may have seen my fall mantel, but I felt something was missing, so I made a small addition with wreathes I bought at my local re-opened Home Goods yesterday. I think it makes it look more finished for the Fall.
I also wanted to share some pictures of the items that I sprinkled around the great room. These bits and pieces of Fall items make for a nice seasonal look.
Two of the wreaths I found yesterday I hung on our French doors. We usually hang something there for Christmas, so I figured it would be a good spot for fall as well.
One of my many cloches is covering small gold pumpkin to add some warmth for the season.
To add a fall touch, my small urn on one of my end tables has dried artichokes inside; I think it adds a festive touch.
The apothecary jar filled with pumpkins on the table is from Home Goods $8 this was purchased a couple of years back (I am not paying the other prices, it is too much). The pumpkins next to the apothecary jar I purchased from our local food market and they were very inexpensive, they are painted with a metallic paint which adds some interest to them.
On the little table by the couch is a bunch of straw with a velvet pumpkin I purchased at Michael’s for 50% off.
On the TV cabinet I placed a nice hand carved acorn that I found at a small local shop.
Near our buggy bench, I incorporated one of the french flower buckets that has a mod podge transfer on it and filled with punks. Along side I placed a small wire basket I found yesterday, that I filled with beaded pumpkins.
The coffee table is overflowing with artichokes which I just love, they are nice and large. They are sprayed with a soft metallic which is a silvery bronze color, they add character and charm to the table. I added candle holders which I purchased at Home Goods; I felt the table was missing something (they will stay all year round).
I hope you enjoyed looking at some of my great room Fall items.

Those doors are so pretty and it will be fun to add wreaths on them for other seasons. Your house sure looks festive for the season. I really like your jars with the pumpkins and those tall pumpkins on the table. I havne’t done much fall decorating yet, so it’s fun to see your ideas. Thanks for stopping by my new blog!
