...autumn's entrance

...happy autumn dear readers!

it has now officially arrived

and i have been decorating my front entrance

in the shades that have been inspiring me as of late

can you guess what those colors might be...

hhhhmmmmm

i wonder!!

yes,

it. is. true.

and there is no escaping it ~

i have fairytale sea pumpkins on my mind!

when i was designing my autumn entrance

my inspiration started with this hand painted sign

from our creatively inspired Dore of Burlap Luxe!

you may remember this shelter sign from this post

since then,

i have completely and utterly fallen in love with Dore's soulful world of soft washed blue-greys!

my design style is also influenced by that of

 Jeanne d'Arc Living and Jami of freckled laundry!

so much so,

i have ordered some Annie Sloan chalk paint to wash my interior world in

but

that is for another post!

to this shelter sign,

i have added a few of my own adornments

to make it my own:

lace, rhinestones, a bejeweled cross, sea silk ribbon and a feather

(they are so magical, wouldn't you agree?)

now for the entry table top

(this is the very first piece i shall transform with the AS paint!!)

i wanted a fairytale romance feel...

so i gathered a few pretties

and started to play!

naturally,

there is a fairytale sea pumpkin 

...or two

(tee,hee!)

a romantic rose mirror

to reflect the sun

 or moon light :)

and silkened, ballerina wrapped candle sticks

which have adorned frills on top!

they are comprised of sea silk ribbons,

lace and vintage montee rhinestones

i will never have to light these

as they already sparkle!!

magical ~ no??!

for the bottom of my table ~

a crochet doily, chicken wire dome and silver stand

and an enchanting mercury glass pumpkin

were all that was needed

my cement swan was filled with variegated hydrangea's

i adore how she is dressed for the cooler autumn days!

a complete view

at the top of my shelter sign

i have placed some long lavender stems.

my sea pumpkins also have lavender added to them

so

as soon as you walk through the front door

it smells lovely!

i am delighted with my autumn fairytale entrance

and hope you were inspired to display a little

fairytale magic in your home!
