Hello Everyone!
Autumn is arriving soon and I am happy about it.
What a lovely time of year. Do you enjoy the crisp air and spiced smells?
Finally after many months I have done a little bit of decorating.
Join me on a tour of our warm formal dining room.
The tuscan style cafe' prints are new to us and are from Kirklands.
I had the other pictures hanging on each side of the buffet for over 5 years.
It was definitely time for a much needed change.
I tried to take a photo of them up close but it's hard with the glare.
Hopefully you can see the details of the cafes on the street.
Did you know two pictures with similiar scenes are called sisters?
I had not heard that one before. The salesperson at Kirklands told me.
The larger prints fill up the space much better.
Here is the decorated buffet table on the other side of the room.
I added wheat grass bundles and eucalyptus stalks to the existing decor'.
I'm trying to keep it simple this year which is hard for me to do.
The chandelier is made by Quorum lighting.
The autumn flower arrangement came from Kirklands.
Thanks for coming by and touring our dining room.
Have a wonderful week!

Like, like, like! Hope the PCS process is moving along well, friend!!
Looks beautiful Melissa! I love you new "sister" pictures!
Melissa, your dining room looks lovely. It is indeed very warm-looking even though it's very formal. "Formal" can sometimes mean cold and stilted--not so in your case! I'm sure you have lovely dinner parties there.
I just love everything about this room!
Very pretty sister pictures - and no I had never heard that term before. You have done a great job of decorating this fall. Love the wheat grass bundles.
Your fall decor looks perfect in your dining room. The background colors go so well with your accessories.
It is absolutely beautiful....those new prints are fantastic!!
Beautiful, Melissa! Your dining room is such a lovely room. Since I have boxes all over the place, I'm debating drawing pumpkins on them to give me that Fall feel. : )
Hi Melissa! Your dining room looks absolutely gorgeous! I love the warm, rich colors and your Fall touches are beautiful. Your new home is just lovely and I know you must be enjoying making it "yours"! :-)

Lovely, Melissa. Good to see you decorating again. Isn't Fall wonderful?!

Melissa your dining room is stunning! Absolutely beautiful. I love your style.
I am welcoming fall here. Its getting cooler in the evenings and I adore spiced smells and warm, inviting colors.
Oh gosh, your home is just so pretty.
You are way ahead of me! It's been SO hot and humid here ~ maybe tomorrow; the temp is going to drop and they promise jeans and fleece. Yay!
Your home is lovely ... as always :)

It's as beautiful as ever Melissa!
Many Autumn Blessings,

Aw Thank you so much for making me blog of the week Melissa. I don't mind at all!!
I'll try to get a post together tonight on making vanilla. (Its really simple, vodka and vanilla beans!) it smells wonderful with time!
Lovely! and I just love Kirkland's too. There is one very close to me here, but I only dare go in there now and again as I always see something that I fall in love with. Lovely post, Thank you Sally xx
Melissa, you have a gorgeous dining room. The colors are so warm and fit right in with the fall theme. It's 55 degrees here tonight and I'm just loving it.

Beautiful!! I need to get to kirklands again.
Gotta love Kirklands! I was jut there and picked up some fall stuff too! I liked your blog right away when I discovered it a year ago... we have the same style and my husband just retired from the USMC after 20 years! Your dining room is beautiful! Oohrah!
Melissa, Melissa, how I have missed seeing pictures of your beautiful home. I love the rich colors throughout. I love the medallion and your chandelier, so pretty, and I am so envious of your floral arrangement from Kirklands. We do not have one out here...sniff! Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed this post.
One more thing...your prints are gorgeous, too!
Have a great weekend! XOXO ~Liz
Melissa, I love your home. Such warm colors. You have done a beautiful job. I am a newbie to the blogging world and stumbled upon your site. Love it! I'm now following you; and I hope you'll follow back! Have a great weekend!
Beautiful! The colors in your home lend themselves so well to Fall decorating, too. I have to restrict most of my Fall decorating to the outside of our house. I did put some white pumpkins inside, though, and plenty of the yummy, spicy scents you mentioned. ;-)
Looks beautiful Melissa. I know it must hard to control yourself with the decorating. I love the fall colors that make our homes feel so warm and cozy. Beautiful as always:)
Beautiful, I love your colors!

Clearly, you're ready, it's gorgeous!
Your dining room is beautiful. Don't you just love Kirkland's? It's one of my favs. Your new prints look perfect in the dining room.
Congrats on your weight-loss! You are a real inspiration!
