I dug through my hutch and found a table runner I had made from scraps of burlap (this burlap is woven a bit tighter than the burlap I used to make the pillow covers). I also found some wicker chargers I occasionally pull out for the holidays and my oil candles I got years ago from Bombay Outlet. I found some raffia in a basket in the laundry room and tied it to my iron plate holder. I gathered some pine cones and acorns from outside and placed them on the plates to spruce up the center piece. I love to change things up, as different seasons roll around, with odds and ends I find laying around the house (usually in attics, closets, backs of cupboards, or even outside). They say, whenever you work with mostly neutrals, the secret is to mix it up with lots of different shapes and textures.
Hmmm... maybe I'll keep it toned down during the fall and winter seasons and brighten it back up for spring and summer...
But for now, I'm enjoying my little slice of fall heaven.
