Thrifty Fall Hutch


Look what I got to do without spending an extra dime right now!  I was able to put a fall spin on my hutch decor.  (It's still in the 90os here.  Oy!)


 I discovered some fun finds.  All...    Around...  The house...


Weee, I forgot I had these plates stored in this basket on top of the entertainment center.  I wasn't going to use this pale blue for fall, but another "weeee" they have fall-colored fruit on them which would go really well with a pumpkin...let's see where would I find one of those?


You'll recognize a lot of the whites from the last hutch post.  See how my finds eased it into fall?


Concentrate--Pumpkin, pumpkin.  Oh yes!  This milk glass pumpkin was packed away in the pantry.


And this mix of potpourri and "shredded wheat" fruit (below) were purchased at the thrift store for a couple of dollars sometime this summer because of the beautiful blue color and textures.


The glass hurricane - you guessed it - also stashed in the pantry.  (That's one packed pantry!)


Aww, mini butter cloche, which you've seen before, is still cute as can be refilled with potpourri.  Hey, that rhymes.


I almost forget the top, my little bust got some dollar store beads (oops, I did buy something) shown with my--ooo la la--juggling pin.  I don't usually do two "beauty posts" back-to-back, I'd better get crackin' at some projects!   Another plus?  I get to link up with Donna's robin's egg blue link party this weekend, too!  Edited to add:  I got Marty's "okay" to link this with her fun cloche day.

  5. Very pretty. I wish I could see the entire hutch. I have a black hutch and change it out constantly. Right now I am working on Halloween.
    Don't you just love finding something you forgot you had tucked back somewhere? It's like getting it new all over again.~Ames

  19. So pretty! I know it's hard to decorate for fall when it's still so hot outside! We've had a small cool front so I'm a little more in the fall mood! Beautiful job!

  22. Good Stuff! I just added pine cones (free ~ way to many pine trees here) to a 3 wick candle display in my dining room. After viewing yours I think I need a third color in the display though ... kinda blah now.

  23. Your hutch looks great. I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that I need to start decorating for fall. I'm not looking forward to giving up on summer. So I'll be holding out for bit longer.
