Light and Easy First Move Into Fall Decorating

I'm making my move into fall decorating at a slow pace.  I did decide to put together this vignette on the dining table.

I spotted this tray at Pier 1 and it has my colors of the dining room so I figured I'd work it in.

I like the raised stencil design it has on it.

 The white ceramic pumpkin holds a tealight.

The little rug that I'm using like a runner first appeared "here"

I liked the cute little glass owl tealight holder too- also from Pier 1

 I assembled this arrangement using these Annabelle Hydrangeas from my garden, some antique white silk flowers and natural dried pods.

The hand painted vase came into my home last year.  It works well with the fall and winter coloring.

This tray will work really well next spring too with the lighter colors.

I also decided to turn the dining room table on an angle.  I saw this at Pat's- Back Porch Musings "here" and decided to give it try.  I actually works a lot nicer for the traffic flow so I'm happy I gave it a try.

 This worked great over the weekend when 6 of us sat here.  Getting in and out worked out just fine.  

This used to be the living room for this house before we added the larger room on.

It's a small step into fall decorating.  

I have gobs of a lot more fall deco stuff in storage - I'll just bring it out slowly!

I came around the corner and the late afternoon sun was doing a nice job of highlighting my vignette so I took another picture!
