Fall In My Farmhouse Dining Room

The whole time that I was working on my dining room makeover, I was thinking about how much fun I was going to have decorating it for the different seasons and holidays! Do you have spaces that you actually get excited about decorating? {If you missed the reveal of my newly madeover dining room, you can see the before and after’s by clicking HERE.}

My K-I-S-S method of fall decorating came into play in a big way in this room. Do you know what K-I-S-S stands for in the world of decorating? Learn all about it right HERE.

I was able to use candle rings and twig wreaths to dress up the mirror and the plates that are hanging on the shutters. I wired a candle ring to a plain twig wreath for the mirror and then used Command Strips to hold each wreath all in place.

If I turn the camera at just a little bit of an angle, I get a great reflection of the other side of the room in the mirror. Love it! That’s one of the big reasons that I kept a mirror above this little chest, instead of replacing it with a chalkboard, when I gave the room its makeover. Plus it adds quite a bit of extra light to this dark’ish room.

My vintage shelf, that hangs above the sideboard, used to be a fireplace mantel. Someone simply cut the side pieces off and then I added hooks to it. Sometimes I hang baskets from the hooks, but I thought would be too much for this vignette. I made sure to load it up with fall goodies though!

When I made my Fixer Upper style hanging lanterns, I had a feeling that they’d be a fun place to add seasonal accents too. For fall, I dressed them up with a couple of fall colored plates and some cotton stems. You can find the tutorial for making your own hanging lanterns displays HERE.

Using more of the K-I-S-S method of fall decorating, I left my dough bowl on the table and simply refilled it with all sorts of fall goodies. If you have trouble knowing what to fill a dough bowl with or how to do it, I gave step by step directions HERE.

Let me pull the camera back a little to give you a better view of the room and layout.
