Natural Fall Decor, Vintage Style

October 16, 2014

 
 
I never get tired of using my vintage tool caddy for decorating our farmhouse table. From season to season and from holiday to holiday it has never let me down.
 

Here it is last year around this time. I filled it with heirloom pumpkins and traditional fall gourds.


 


 

This year I thought I'd switch things up a bit and add some apples, a huge favorite in my house this time of year.

 
I also used some small pumpkins, moss balls and other natural filler that I've used throughout the year and it ended up looking just the way I like it. Quintessential fall.
 




 
From this angle you can see my most recent DIY "EAT" sign I'll be sharing with you later.
 




 
In addition to fall, this old toolbox has served as a Christmas centerpiece . . . . .  
 
 
as well as a Spring centerpiece filled with moss "rocks," moss balls and other natural filler elements.
 
 
Right now I'm happy to see it on our table filled with the colors of fall. Who knows what you'll find in it once Christmas rolls around again?
  
Well that's it for today, friends!

Decorating with Moss and Natural Filler

January 27, 2014


Well, my trusty vintage toolbox is at it again!  

Some of you might remember when I used it to create a fall farmhouse table centerpiece.



Then I turned it into a lovely Christmas floral centerpiece.



Well, I guess it's time for wishful thinking (can you say S-P-R-I-N-G?) because I've gone and created yet another seasonal vignette.  This time with Dollar Store moss rocks and natural vase filler, also from the Dollar Store.


After the farmhouse table shots which were not very well-lit, I took a few more in the much brighter living room.  

It's amazing what a little light can do.  It really shows off the spectacular greens.


The "rocks" and all the white and natural-colored filler came from the Dollar Store.  The mossy balls I picked up at Hobby Lobby with 40% off coupons.  I think the large one ended up costing like $3.50, while the smaller two were even cheaper.
.

I also added pine cones that the kids collected from the yard way before the infamous Polar Vortex descended upon the midwest with all it's cold, wind and snow.


I really love how it turned out, it's such a pretty harbinger of spring.  And boy, we could definitely use more of that!  My kids will be home from school yet again for the next two days due to seriously subzero temperatures.  By the time spring rolls around I will be more than happy to be moving on.

Well that's it for today, friends!
