BREAKFAST AREA & A DIY TABLE CENTERPIECE

Hello everyone!

Lately I can not find the time to sit down and write a post to save my life . :)

In the last few weeks life has been extremely busy and all I can think is that, if it is like this now, what it will be like when the holidays arrive. 

I am trying to keep up and take one day at a time, so before something else happens that requires my attention, I want to share with you all some fall decor in our breakfast room and how we made a little centerpiece for the table.

One of the first changes I made was to add to the table these pretty placemats I found at HomeGoods.

They go perfect with the buffalo check curtains and I only paid $7.00 for the set. 

I created a small centerpiece using items I already had and a small homemade tray that I asked my husband to build for me. It is just a simple rectangular tray. 

I gave it first a coat of oil rubbed bronze paint and finished it with a color I already had in the garage, Natural Tan by SW.  When it was dry, I distressed it some to show some of the ORB paint underneath.

To finish it I made some handles using some unfinished wood beads from Michaels and a little twine. 
You can find the beads here.

To decorate the tray, I used items I already had at home.
First I added the three metal buckets from the set that I bought over the summer filled with moss.

You can see them on the next picture how I used them on the mantle.

I added to them some pretty little orange flowers I had and placed on top some fabric pumpkins.
The pumpkins I bought at Target dollar section for $1.00 each.

A few acorns, a small sign I had and some of the little candles I bought at Dollar Tree last year 
completed the centerpiece.

On the chairs I decided to use the stenciled pillows I made years ago.

And just a couple of weeks ago, we purchased a new sisal rug for this area.

It is the same as the one we have on the entrance hall, only larger. You can find it here

And this is how I decorated our breakfast area for the new season using things I already had and only spent about $5.00 on the three pumpkins and the wood beads for the tray handles.

I hope this post gives you the inspiration to create new decor for your home using things you already have.
I will be back soon with another simple and economical centerpiece idea you can use for you Thanksgiving table.

 Thank you all for visiting.
Have a wonderful weekend!
