My Fireplace in it’s “Fallness”

Hello and welcome to “My Bella Rose” I am so excited to be a part of these wonderful parties!  Please visit Marty  &Tabletop Tuesday, The Nester’s Fall Mantel Party (Wednesday), Maryann & Power of Paint Party, and http://suelovescherries.blogspot.com/  I am slowly getting back in the groove of blogging! Yippee!! 

I made some changes on my fireplace.  Here is a picture of “before” This was during the summer.

And here it is in it’s “fall” look.  I love the warm colors of fall.  The picture is from Kirkland’s.  The letter “M” is from Hobby Lobby, as are all of the fall picks.  Those beautiful red and gold plates are from Home Goods.

Mr. Birdie does not want to fly away so he is nestled in the fall picks.

I painted the “M” in a color called Spanish Tile by Valspar.  I also applied Rub & Buff to it.  Love it!  I love the combination of the colors red and gold.   I am slowly adding more red and gold to my living room.  I love love red and gold!

I think these plates are so pretty!  I saw them at Home Goods and immediately grabbed a couple for me!  I was tickled pink when I saw these!  I wish I had bought more, they are so pretty.  I don’t know if they’re “fallish”  but I like them. :)

So beautiful! I love the way you put every detail of decor is just the right place. I wish I could do that *sigh* but alas, I can barely put two things together. That's going to be my goal for Christmas, to create a great mantle.

Sandra, two of my favorite colors are red and gold, as well. I purchased that plate at home goods, then BROKE it! Isn't it funny when you meet someone and you share so many of the same tastes? Seems like we do often.

Oh Sandra, this is so pretty. Love the painting, and all of the fall leaves and candles are so pretty. I love the M in the vignette too. Gorgeous. Thanks so much for linking to TTT. Hugs, Marty

Very pretty. I love what you did with the "M". I think the plates are gorgeous. They work for fall, but you could also play them up for Christmas I think.

I love your M....your mantel looks so pretty and you displayed everything ever so perfectly.

Debbiedoos said...

Forgot to mention I have the very same M, I painted in red for my sons room....my project was a bit of a disaster with the red paint....I left the can on the garage floor and my hubs ran over it...ummmm..yeah, have not used red since!

Gorgeous! We were both thinking mantels today. Love that letter and I could use it too. ;) I saw those plates at HomeGoods too. Favorite store.

Happy Rednesday and autumn blessings!
