more fallish decor

Over the weekend, my itch to take the roost from super summery to a hint of fall, expanded to include the living room and entry hall.

During the summer, the hall looked like this:

The coffee table like this:

And the small bookcase like this:

Shopping the house (except for the flowers) provided everything I needed to create a new look for free.

Let’s take a closer look.

My first step was to use a book as the base. I didn’t have a large book in a color I liked, so I covered an ugly book with extra dropcloth fabric.

Next, I used one of the twig frames from the hallway as a tray.

I topped the tray with a bundle of twine-wrapped books (idea stolen from Pottery Barn) and added a vintage safety pin for extra texture.

For some height, I added a jar filled with black and white photos (idea stolen from BHG)

Because good things come in threes, I also added a little bird votive. After looking at these pictures, I switched the green votive for a creamy yellow.

On the bookcase, a few fall flowers and a homey sign add some softness and comfort.

It’s starting to look a lot less like summer around here!

Anyone else change up their coffee table with the seasons?
