Home Decor, Fall vignettes and a Giveaway Winner!
Posted by the Painted Apron on September 11, 2022 · 51 Comments

Prayers today as we remember our heros and all the lives lost on 9/11…
I’m going to announce the winner
of the recent Traveling Totes giveaway today
but first let’s have a little fall fun!
It’s been busy this week,
I was able to add some Fall touches to the beach house
over Labor Day weekend
The tree was decorated with sunflowers, pumpkins and faux fall leaves
A painted pumpkin pillow and a sunflower pillow
landed on the couch near a styled coastal Fall tray

A little vignette on the kitchen island awaits
to enjoy over the next few months when we return

I traveled back from the beach early last week
and have been doing a little Fall decorating
I had decorated the dining room before I went to the coast
with a table set with an Early Fall Pumpkin Patch

It was time to add some Fall to the rest of the house!
I was going to put up the tobacco basket that I used last year

But then I got an idea…
why not try the magnolia and cotton wreath
that’s hanging on the inside of the front door
I love it!




I couldn’t resist this pumpkin with a crazy stem
when I went grocery shopping the other day
I used it for a little vignette with a Glamorous Gold Bottle
and gold trimmed Steven Singer roses
A sunflower basket hangs on the inside of the front door
and pumpkin patch tiered tray sits on the foyer table
The bar got some Bama love for football season

Holy guacamole yesterday’s Alabama Texas game was stressful,
Bama won by 1 point in the last 10 seconds!

Of course I had to get some sunflowers,
instant Fall decor!
And a little pumpkin love in the kitchen

I’m looking forward to getting some pumpkins and mums for the patio
when the weather cools off during the next few weeks

And now for the winner
of the Tales of the Traveling Tote September giveaway!

[…] of sharing more than just her mantel display, Jenna at The Painted Apron shared a post featuring her own home décor Fall vignettes which also included her beautiful Fall mantel that has these amazing textured pumpkins blended with […]
Jenna, you have some really great Fall decorating stuff. Congratulations Sheila!
Thanks Angie!
Lovely decor. Your magnolia and cottonwood wreath really caught my eye.
Thank you Bernadette, it’s one of my very favorite decorations
Beautiful autumn vignettes, Jenna. Your fall tree at the beach is a lovely way to welcome the season. The magnolia and cotton wreath looks great over the fireplace and your tiered tray is stunning. The game yesterday was extremely stressful. It wasn’t exactly pretty, but a win is a win. Happy Sunday 🍁🧡🍂
Thank you Pam! Yes, the game was a nail biter, not used to that!!
Thought of you yesterday while watching that nail biter game – whew, hard to watch at times. Your fall decorations are gorgeous as usual – I’m off to go find my pumpkins & sunflowers. Wish me luck!
Oh thank you Charlotte, and yes quite a game! Have fun with your Fall decorating!
Congratulations, Sheila!
Beautiful Autumn vignettes, Jenna. Your lovely home is ready to welcome the new season.
Thank you Sarah! I even bought some real pumpkins yesterday! 🌻
So beautiful! Falls is such a great time for adornments!
Thank you Dorothy, happy Fall!
Fall looks great at your places!!
Thanks so much Jessica 🍁
What great vignettes, Jenna! You’ve been putting in some time with all that decor switching! Love the magnolia mantel, and that crazy stem. I would’ve bought it too. Save the stem!
Congratulations to Sheila, our TTT winner!
Thank you Rita, I have enjoyed getting my decor out and playing…and thanks for suggesting I save the stem, smart!
Great collection of pumpkins! Congrats to Sheila!
Thank you Patti 🌻
Beautiful fall inspiration from both your homes! I love all the MZC pieces! That tiered tray is gorgeous!
Congratulations Sheila!
Thanks so much Nancy, I’ve been having fun!
Charming fall decorating and pumpkins galore!
Thank you, as you can see, I love pumpkins 🙂
I love your colorful fall vignettes! I have not started decorating for fall yet, but I thank you for your inspiring photos. I will be decorating within the next week or so. Trip went to the game, and he said it was the best game he’s ever been to….I’m glad Alabama is ranked behind Georgia now because maybe it will light a fire under their butts, LOL!
Thanks Ricki, after that game my stomach hurt I was so stressed! Have fun decorating!
Congratulations to the winner! Loving all of your fall decorating Jenna. Happy Week to you. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thanks so much Cindy!
Congratulations to Sheila from a member of the tote group!! Love all your fall decorating Jenna, and that pumpkin with that long stem. When I received the new MC catalog, I thought of you and that you might try paining an ombre stem on a pumpkin.
Thanks so much Deb! Isn’t that catalog just packed full of goodies! I just might have to try painting an ombre stem!
SO EXCITED to hear I had won the prize! The news came after a vexing time with car repairs, etc.–so it has put me on a winning streak. Thanks, Jenna, for the giveway and for the tote. I shall report some on “our” travels in the future.
Thanks also to the other folks for the “congratulations” entries. Jenna’s blog is a daily escape to one of my happy places with kindred souls. Seeing her posts and admiring Jenna’s talents has been an inspiration to us all.
Thank you Sheila!!! So happy you won!
Love your fall decor Jenna – especially that magnolia and cotton wreath! That’s just darling! And is that one of your beautiful paintings I spy to the right of your china cabinet? SO lovely! It would be wonderful to sit at your table enjoying your delicious food and feasting my eyes on your artwork. I feel like I’ve just had a relaxing little visit. 😊🍁 Thanks!
Thank you Barbara, the magnolia & cotton wreath is one of my favorites and yes the painting you mentioned is one of mine, thank you for your kind words!
Love your magnolia and cotton wreath in its new spot over the mantel Jenna! Yes, that game was a nail biter! I’m ready for cooler weather so I can make a trip to the pumpkin patch. 🙂
Thanks Mary, I actually caved and bought some pumpkins the other day, Trader Joe’s had piles of all different kinds, I couldn’t resist!
Good idea to decorate the beach house before you left. You and the family will enjoy the fall touches when you return, love the pretty fall tree. Also, you are always one step ahead Jenna with decorating before you left for the beach. Love the “pumpkin patch” centerpiece in the dining room. Last year’s tobacco basket looked so pretty on the mantle but the magnolia and cotton wreath looks awesome. So many pretty fall vignettes to enjoy. Congratulations to Shelia, I’m sure she was thrilled to win the MacKenzie-Childs shopping tote. The game, yikes!!!!
Thank you Emily, when I got to the beach house for Labor Day, it was still decorated for 4th of July, I had to get busy pretty quickly! And then I sort of had the bug and started getting things out and one thing led to another~ those poor Bama players, I bet Sabin is brutal this week 😂 It ought to be an interesting season!
So much eye candy Jenna….I love all your vignettes and all your inspiration. You have been working hard my friend. I can’t pick a favorite altho the dining table MC tiered plate stand is adorable. I’m afraid we are just beginning our sports journeys, so expect more nail biters in football, basketball and yes even the baseball games to come. Have a great day my friend.
Thanks so much Kari! I do love football season, and love to watch the World Series. I know you are a huge sports fan too, don’t you love this time of year!
Jenna, your fall vignettes are so pretty at both places! There is so much inspiration here that I don’t know where to start. The tier, the fall tree, the pumpkins, the sunflowers, just everything. I love them all, but I think the mantel is my favorite with the magnolia and cotton wreath and that little pheasant pumpkin is sooo cute!! I hope you are enjoying the coming fall and that some cooler weather is headed your way!
Thanks so much Kim, I have had a lot of fun changing things around. The mantel was completely unplanned, it just sort of happened, sometimes those are the best creations! Our temps are getting cooler, thank you!
You were so smart to do a bit of fall dec before you left. I should have done that. Now I’m home (for a couple of weeks) and there’s so much other stuff that has to be done, I’m STILL not decorated. Sure hope I make it before the snow falls. Your post is a delightful inspiration with wonderful vignettes and some things I don’t remember seeing here before! Love it!
Thanks so much Jeanie! I just did a little here and there and before I knew it, it was all done and I smile when I look around!
How nice when one of your household chores is not a chore but a pleasure! You look ready for fall.
Thank you Linda, I love to change things up with the seasons 🍁
Jenna, your fall decor is very fun. Love the mantel. I have started a little fall decor. Congrats to Sheila on winning.
Thanks so much Linda 🌻
I love all of your fall touches, Jenna! So pretty, and what gorgeous sunflowers!
Thanks so much Pam!
First of all- ROLL TIDE!! We’re headed up for the game this Saturday if all goes well. My husband’s uncle actually played for Bear Bryant. So cool. But anyway- I love all of your fall vignettes. They look great and add a ton of fall to your home. Thanks for sharing on Crafty Creators!
