Hot Outside, Fall Inside - Part 2

Hey everyone!  Is this week going by fast for ya'll, because it certainly is going fast for me.  Anyway, I promised Part 2 of my Hot Outside, Fall Inside post & here it is.  If you missed Part 1, you can find it HERE.
The Sitting Room
Our old entertainment center that is now a bar, is still one of my favorite pieces of furniture.



All I did to add some "Fall," was the addition of the wreath fastened to my old (but newly painted) fireplace screen.








Do you remember these wonderful lanterns that I bought at IKEA?  Well, I simply added some Fall florals, picks & ribbon to the tops to dress them up a bit. 
Just added a few Fall touches here and there on these bookshelves.



I'm trying to keep my vignettes more simple this year.  Remember, I said "try!"



I'm lovin' how my coffee table vignette looks!

I simply gathered some odds & ends of Fall florals for this arrangement.  The container is an old, beat-up shallow basket, so I wrapped it with burlap ribbon & added some berries & sparklies to the knot.


Would you believe that all of the above items were less than $15?  Yep, I found them several months ago in the super-discounted aisle of Hobby Lobby marked down to 80-90% off!  I think they are perfect with my Fall decor!

Well, that's a wrap for Part 2.  I hope you enjoyed seeing some "Fall" take place.  Our temps are actually dropping below 105 degrees now, so maybe we are finally on the downside of the summer heat -- we can only hope!  Anyway, thanks so much for stopping by, & please come again.
