Fall Junk

I had sweatpants on this morning. That's a good sign right? Fall is coming. Never mind I'm sweating now and the AC has kicked on. It was cool ish this morning and I'll take it.

I dragged out my Fall boxes. I wanted to work with my junk too so that I could join up with Donna. She's having a junk vignette link up. Only I am bugged by the word vignette. I don't know why. Some words just bug me.  I will just call them my arrangements.  I wish I had gotten around to painting this table. I'm making a mental note to do that. I do like the rusty metal mixed with the tarnished silver.





This is not of the rusty junk variety but they are unpolished and left in their old tarnished state.



Off to work on my mantel. I am trying to bring in Fall yet still keep things light. I don't want to over do it. I might need to get out the paint.

EDIT:  I was not too thrilled with the look of the sofa table so I did a little do-over. It's allowed. You can see it here. I'm liking it better now. Thanks!

  1. Looks awesome Anita. Too funny about the word thing - there are certain words that bug me too, like "meme"....

  15. I love your tarnished silver...very pretty. I know what you mean about certain words. I'm getting very sick of people writing "swoon"...sorry if you use that word a lot :)

    Best wishes for a wonderful day!

  16. Bahaha I am dying laughing inside because I HATE the word vignette. Please (virtually) slap me if I ever use it on my blog! I also hate the words "mood board" and I have no idea why. Whenever I read/hear it I cringe!

    :)

    P.S. That tall candlestick looks reeeeally good.

  17. Anita looks like your off an running with your fall decorating. I really love the unpolished silver arrangement.
    I drove home from the condo today and there was a 15 degree drop and rain so I'm ready to pull out fall boxes too.

  19. Love your silver bucket. You have created some really neat "arrangments". Funny thing is that I had never used the word vingette in my whole life until I started blogging. I still feel a little strange saying it...like I'm trying to be fancy.

  21. Anita,
    Your silver urn is gorgeous! I just can't bring myself to get anything out yet. Maybe Oct. 1....it's supposed to be down to only 90 by then.

    p.s.
    While it is nice to see others need anger management when it comes to things that should be so, so simple, but leave a large, large hole in your wall, I am sorry for the hole in the wall!!!

  27. Make my jealous ok? I'm sitting here blowing my nose, rubbing my watery eyes, chewing vitamin c, gulping tea, wishing I had a little of the decorating bug instead!

    I love the black pedestal table in the background! And that wooden box/tray! The decorations scream fall!

    Do you get fall in Florida?
