And since we moved to a new place, we no longer have a fireplace mantle to dress up with the seasons, so I have chosen, instead, to dress the top of my white buffet.
Luckily my pretty Homegoods lamps (I always have people ask where I got them, so I figured I'd throw it out there to save anyone who might want to know the effort of having to ask...LOL) look very autumn-ish with their lovely earthy shades, and so lent themselves well to the display.
Then all I did was round up a bunch of my faux pumpkins and plop them on the buffet. Okay, I put a little more thought into it than that. :-) I placed the wire pumpkin on top of a stack of old books tied with twine, added in some pretty fall garland, and filled the lantern that usually sits on the dining room table with a bit more garland for a little interest.
I love the mix of textures, and the pop of color from the garland. Simple. But pretty. I'm lovin' this touch of autumn.

Hi, this is such a pretty display. Love the lamps for sure, but the arrangement of everything has inspired me to try this out on my sidebar. Thanks, and Happy Fall!
Ok, I was feeling a bit cross that my mantle is STILL not installed and I wasn't going to be able to primp. As usual, you found a solution and have given me a bit of a smack to get me on track.
You're aces.
Beautiful! And those lampshades, oh my!
Textures! Love the different pumpkins.

LOVE the lampshades - they are from Homegoods too? We are in a new house sans mantle this year too and I enjoyed the challenge of finding that focal point to decorate - you did a great job!
I remember that jack-o-lantern book you posted a couple years ago. I remember making it because it was so simple and so fun to make. I love your ideas.
