Smile peeps,
Even though our window renovation is not done, I'm decorating our buffet up for Fall. Now the hubs isn't too happy with me since I am invading his "working" space. My response - work faster!
I have found using thrift store oil paintings is a great way to add gorgeous Fall color.
There's a couple of things I'll share with you about me, I love color and pattern, but I do not like when wall grouping are symmetrical. It's just too uptight for me, just saying!
I found this crochet scarf/runner at SA for a $1.50, and loved it's textures and colors.
I fell in love with this GW, $1.99 oil painting, and started decorating around it.
I love my old tool tray and used an old soup tureen inside with flowers.
I found a set of Currier and Ives Seasonal Plate set, and this is the Fall plate - see more color.
The lid to the tureen is hanging on the wall and another GW ($6.99) oil painting.
Above the painting is a small Fall plate.
I was so excited when I spotted this vase at GW ($1,99), I've been wanting one!
The little cloche was ($2.99). I love using dried Hydrangea's during the cooler seasons. You can find out where I "found" the Hydrangeas here. The metal tray is also a GW find and when I seen the little bird on top I was hooked.
How's your Fall decorating going?
Are you using any oil paintings in your Fall decor?
Beautiful buffet! I love all your great finds! We take stuff to the SA all the time, and it seems that I come home with as much as I took!!! Hugs, Penny
Cathy,
Looks beautiful ... and can't wait to meet you in person tomorrow! Well, that is as long as I don't get lost!

Very pretty, Cathy! I love your little cloche and the dried hydrangeas look great in that wicker vase.
I love every bit of this buffet decor, Cathy! I am a lover of color, too, so I love the oranges and blues that you selected. I have not used oils this time, but you've totally inspired me to! My mother and aunt are both painters, and I love to use their small works that they've sent me over the years. I used one of my mom's pieces in my summer mantel, and there is a pretty small one you'll likely see in my winter mantel. The wicker vase is gorgeous, as are the hydrangeas. I had to resort to silk hydrangeas, because I needed green and my shrub has tons of mauve! I love the runner you used--is that macrame? Cool! And your buffet itself in the dark brown and ivory--love it. At the moment I am working on a cabinet and my hubby is working on a pair of bookcases in those very colors--hope to have them up in posts very soon. So nice to hear from you over at my blog, and glad you liked my autumn tablescape. Take care and have a wonderful weekend!
This is just awesome and it reminded me of a little painting I found at GW several yrs ago. Now, I will get it out and do something cute with it, like you did. Thanks for the inspiration.;

Cathy how pretty! I love thoses oil paintings and that mirror is fabu!!! You also captured my heart with the roosters...adore them. I am a huge fan of color too so I like to see lots of bright orange pumpkins everywhere this time of year! A wonderful job my friend...hope you are enjoying a lovely fall weekend!
It is lovely! Glad you got to do it even though it means a 'workaround' for your husband!
Your buffet is wonderful. I love all the fall inspiration. The scarf was a great plus.

Hi, I linked to your party for today but can't find it. Do you still have this Sunday party?
Thanks...
Great vignette Cathy but I am still envious about that buffet itself. I love it.
Your fall decor looks so warm and beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
This is stunning, your use of color and texture makes for a fabulous fall display. I am a huge thrifter too. Olive
Very pretty! Love the use of the oil paintings!
So pretty!! Love that runner!
I love your little oil paintings! What a great find. I love hunting for thrifty treasures!
Looks great! I hope you will stop by and link up at my All Things Fall Party! http://www.thevintagefarmhouse.com/2012/09/all-things-fall-and-folk-magazine.html
It looks lovely! You found some great oil prints, and they work beautifully with your buffet "Fall" vignette!
Your buffet looks so pretty all dressed up for Fall. Love the use of the vintage painting in the mix. Very nicely done.

Love all the color you used and what great finds! Isn't it fun to see what can be unearthed at GW and SA? My fav thing is your Currier and Ives plate.
Your buffet looks great! I remember those crocheted runners but haven't seen one in years. You sure have some great GW finds. The tray is my favorite, but the vase and cloche are wonderful too! Your decorations are very pretty!
you and I should be decorating buddies. I'm a not a fan of symmetry either. Not enough rhythm for me. I love the texture in your mantel. Nice job.
Your Fall decor on your buffet is beautiful! Thank you for sharing this at my Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House. Hope to see your prettiness again on Monday. Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
This is just beautiful Cathy! Makes me smile to look at it
Thanks so much for sharing at Mom On Timeout! Hope to see you back tonight!
