Looking Forward to Fall

Hi, Everybody!
 I've been working on a couple of changes for Fall. Even though the weather is warm again, I'm thinking cool... come on  Fall.

I love using natural elements as much as possible.
On the chest in the entry hall, I did a somewhat rustic arrangement, using an old wooden box and gourds. 
The gourds are volunteers from the garden. A nice surprise.
I'm staying with cool greens and browns, since it's still in the 80s outside.

You can see the gourds are still green, but they'll turn a nice shade of tan as they dry.

Normally, I would have used dried hydrangea, but this time, I went with faux. 
I put three gourds in the old wooden box, added lotus pods and some twigs, to give it height, stuffed in the hydrangeas, and that was it.

 In the living room, I decided to take the antlers down from the secretary (I know some of y'all will be happy about that)  :) ...and use them in the dough bowl, with an assortment of natural things...wicker balls, moss, dried pods and some round things that look like dried fruit. 

 I have no clue as to what those fruit things are. 
Everything, except the antlers, gourds and pine cones, came from Home Goods in a chicken wire basket.  I'll use the basket later...probably in the kitchen.

 I added some Sedum  Autumn Joy to a silver vase, and that's it.
Sorry the photo is sort of pink, I guess it's a reflection from the walls.

Thanks for stopping by. I'm still working on my hutch in the kitchen and a few more changes.

I'll be joining Sherry @ The Charm of Home for
Home Sweet Home Friday.  
 
and Honey @2805 for Potpourri Friday.

See y'all there.
