Fall Centerpiece

Fall has always been my favorite season.

I love all of the beautiful colors, and decorating my house for fall has always been something that I look forward to.

This past Spring I did a small kitchen remodel.

When we built our house 9 years ago, we painted our kitchen red.

“Arresting Red” to be exact.

I loved having a red kitchen, but it was time for a change.

We changed it to a nice brown, it’s amazing how paint changes a room!!

It’s fun to decorate the rooms for seasons now, because even my old decorations seem new!!

I ran across this post by Shanty 2 Chic on Pinterest this past summer and knew I  wanted to make something like it for my kitchen this fall.

Here is the link to her post on her blog: 

I picked up a fake pumpkin and letters to spell “fall” at Hobby Lobby, a can of cream colored spray paint and painters tape from the hardware store.

Tape off the stem with painters tape and spray your letters and pumpkin with a couple of coats of cream colored paint.

Adhere them with a hot glue gun once they are dry.

I liked the addition of the little burlap flower she added to hers, so I did the same.  

Only I used one instead of three.

I found this candle base and glass candle holder at Hobby Lobby, too.

I already had the pumpkins and acorns that I filled it up with.

I strung some orange accent “vine” through, and added a couple of real gourds to the mix.

and Ta-Da! Centerpiece!

I love buying pieces like this, because I know they can be filled with all kinds of things for other holidays, or even just a candle like it was intended!
