Unconventional Cornucopias

I told you about my cornucopia bias. 

I am in recovery with the wacky one I made out of chicken wire and drop cloths.

I wondered if any conical shape item would work as a cornucopia.

I love them filled with dried flowers and acorns.

I saw a rusty spring in the garage and decided to use it with some dried Oak Leaf Hydrangea blooms I had from June. (This is the only kind of Hydrangea I can grow.)

It didn't work until I wrapped it with burlap.

I dying at how cute this goofy thing is. 

It balances early and late fall with my little concrete squirrel and a glammy walnut shaped box.

Who knew? 

What other cone shaped things do I have around here????

Redecorating for Fall

So...

I had things pretty well decorated for fall. I was tweaking a few things and had already started taking some pictures.

Then we got the cabinets painted, but when I went to put things back in the kitchen like they were, I realized that they didn't look quite right.

Suddenly all my vintage treasures and pumpkins didn't look as good, so I am starting over. 
I used to need a stronger, bolder aesthetic because the oak overpowered the space.
I don't need that anymore.

This is what my fall decor looked like a week ago.

This little Halloween display will be better somewhere else.
I need to lighten up this corner.
The pumpkin pie display, has too much orange for the corner where I had it.

I was crazy about this planter before we painted. Now I don't know where I will put it. 
I can always use it outside for plants.  
This vignette on top of the fridge is gone.

The new fridge is counter depth and taller so I don't have that much room for stuff.

  I had a few pieces of rusty stuff.

I'm not sure all of this will come back in.

I don't think I need as much because I won't be trying to divert my attention away from the cabinets.

I picked up a few white pumpkins and some orange roses.
I also found some cute green leaves at Tom Thumb.
I will be back to show you the completed kitchen and the new fall decor.
Sprinkled with rust and pumpkins,
