fall nesting comes to the china cabinet

 I've been playing around with fall decor in my living room and kitchen for

a couple of weeks now ~ but I'm still tweaking! These two rooms are the

only rooms that I change decor around for the fall. My china cabinet

in the kitchen is small and rather dark. If I had the skills and patience to

paint it, I would. But, I don't. So it stays this way for now. In the meantime,

I try to brighten up the inside by adding some color.

 The bowl (which has a lid - but I wanted to use it more as a stand in this case),

the square glass jar, and gold leaf salt and pepper shakers are thrifted finds.

I added color and interest to the middle shelf by lining the back with scrapbook paper.

Teapot is a thrifted find, yellow cake stand is from TJ Maxx, squirrel salt and pepper

shakers are from Wal-Mart.

The bottom shelf is all thrifted finds, too! I've had the dried chinese lanterns

for years - a friend gave them to me from her yard.

I'm heading to the grocery store now and I'll be in search of white mini pumpkins.

Which means some more tweaking and decorating will be going on around here!

 I love the richness of fall colors, how about you?
