A Touch of Fall

This weekend was the first time I added a little fall to the house. I really do love this time of year. The cool night air, decorating with pumpkins and even Halloween is so great before the holiday frenzy.

Flowers and table runners are just a few things I've added. Even the pillows my mom gave me give off a fall feel. This weekend, I plan on going to the farmer's market or the church down the street to purchase gourds and pumpkins as decorations for my table and porch.

Do I Sound Elderly?

When we bought our house, this glider sat on the front porch.

Plain but sturdy and nice to sit on while drinking your morning coffee. Do I sound elderly? But need I say plain again?

I finally decided to paint the thing.

Instead of purchasing paint, I decided to be resourceful and use what I already owned. Let's see...gray, white, or vintage green? I went with green because white's too typical and gray is just boring!

With a little spray paint primer...well, because I'm lazy and it's easier.


 And a coat of one of my favorite colors, I think it turned out well.



And of course the infamous Instagram shot for a cool effect. :)
